The 49ers Are Rightfully Getting Destroyed For Trying To Convince The World They Are Underdogs Who Made The Super Bowl 'Against All Odds'

Gotta hand it to the 49ers here. I mean this scrappy team, who happened to be favored in every game including the Super Bowl, had no shot at making the Super Bowl. It's not like they had homefield advantage. It's not like they were talked about as the best team in the league since basically week 1. At some point you gotta acknowledge they are the scrappy underdog despite being favored ... again. The only thing I can think of is they saw these dumb stats and convinced themselves they have no shot. 

I gotta admit when you start bringing in moon analytics, that we've gone too far into nerd ball. Mostly because my dumb brain will see this and just blindly trust it despite the fact the Chiefs probably have a ridiculous record like this no matter what the moon is. But we can't have the moon be the face of analytics. We need it for things like fighting to go for it on 4th down or 2 point conversions, you know, things that matter. 

Luckily football fans aren't entirely dumb. Every person is destroying the 49ers for this, comparing them to Georgia when they did this: 

The Niners can't even use Brock Purdy here for reasoning. Every single player on that team and every fan said if he was healthy against the Eagles a year ago they'd be in the Super Bowl. You don't get to say there's no shot Brock Purdy would start a Super Bowl when you spent this time screaming he would have been there in year 1. Not to mention you have every person who hates Taylor Swift or a Mahomes cheering for you. 

Sometimes you just gotta sit back and wonder how a 1 seed could ever make a Super Bowl. Against all odds indeed.
