Still only a game up from a bunch of teams, don't know the tiebreakers

They did it!!!

Jimmy led them to a would be game winning FG drive to end regulation, then on a do or die game winning TD drive in overtime.

He obviously didn't do it by himself but he certainly contributed.

This is a MONSTER win

Can't get any more clutch than a do or die walkoff TD in overtime.

What a huge win.

Feels great

9ers hold the tie breaker over both Minnesota & Philly via head to head wins.

Big game against Atlanta next week, as they are only 1 game behind Frisco.

Also of note if LA loses to Zona tonight, 9ers will only be 1 game behind them for the top wild card slot and hold the tie breaker over them.

He also put the ball literally in a defender's hands on that last drive of regulation. We are extremely lucky to come out of this one with a win, and the offense in particular MUST be better if we are going to make any noise in the playoffs.

So if we are factoring in almost plays that didn't count, why no mention of the beautiful deep ball that he dropped right in the bucket to Kittle in the 2nd quarter, that George couldn't bring in because one of his arms was being held down?

Jimmy was also 6/6 for 77 yards on that game winning TD drive in OT. He also helped get the the team in position for a game winning FG at the end of regulation. However the highest earning kicker in the history of the NFL missed the game winner.

If this team is going to make the playoffs and potential run in them, there are a few things that are going to need to change.

1) Stop committing back breaking penalties. Off the top of my head yesterday, there were the 2 Ambry Thomas hands to the face flags that negated an interception and a sack. There was also the holding call on Trent Williams in the 1st quarter that called back a completed pass to Hasty that would have set up the 9ers 1st and goal. Instead it became 3rd and 14 from the 27 which ended resulting in a FG. There are several instances of these types crushing penalties throughout the season.

2) Special teams has got to stop making critical mistakes and at least be a neutral commodity. Sure they recovered 2 fumbles this last game, but they were on muffed catches which obviously still counts but did they actually make a play on those? Gould missed a game winning FG. Last week against Seattle special teams gave up a LONG TD on a fake FG, fumbled a kickoff return, and Gould missed a PAT. Can't have these types of game shifting mistakes, especially when the special teams doesn't really do much to provide a positive impact.

3) The defensive secondary has to get better, period. There are way too many times where receivers are just WIDE open and many times its far downfield. This group has routinely got beaten like a drum all season. Of course losing Verrett in week 1 and not having Moseley for a few games doesn't help, but my god man the secondary has been consistently terrible. Even on a lot of the plays where they cover well, they won't get their head around to play the ball and get called for easy PI penalties. The Colts game was an unmitigated disaster in that regard. The pass rush has thankfully finally started to get rolling the last couple weeks, its time the secondary starts to pull some of their weight. They might get Moseley back for the Texans game in 2 weeks, hopefully so because he is easily the best CB "available" for them.

4) The running game needs find a way to be serviceable when Elijah Mitchell is not on the field. Its a night and day type difference when he's not on the field. The passing game thrives off play action, and the run threat is a critical component of play action. Defense are not going to bite on a fake, if the running game is stuck in mud.

5) Springboarding off the running game, as we all know Deebo is truly dynamic with the ball in his hands. However, he spends far too much time in the backfield. In his last 3 games played he only has 3 catches for 49 yards on 7 targets. This is the same guy that at one point was leading the NFL in receiving yardage and had damn near 1000 yards in 9 games at a rate of north of 18 yards per catch. We all love to see Deebo with the ball in his hands, but we don't love seeing him take extra hits and running the ball up the middle. Having your #1 WR spend most of his time in the backfield is probably not a sustainable model.

6) The O-line and its pass protection, most especially the right side. This one probably doesn't have a realistic chance to get much better. However, augmenting some play designs could help. Have Jimmy roll out more, keep Juice in the backfield more often, run a few more 2 TE sets, utilize chip blocks by the RB's more often, etc.

7) Jimmy is Jimmy. We are all well aware of Garoppolo brings to the table. The two biggest things for him, is just limiting his mistakes and keeping the elevation on his throws down, in which the higher than desired throws are usually the cause of the mistakes. Every game he'll make some errant throws and he'll also make some great throws. If he can minimize the mistakes, the offense will be able to consistently move the ball.
