Passing on 3rd down before the FG attempt was Carter's call. He thought ATL would not see it coming and pictured him or the TE being wide open.

FWIW - I don't think we would have beaten the Broncos with it being Elway's last hurrah

Get bent Randy, rings are for champions.

Boy, these Moss haters really make my day. The guy changed the game. Was he always the best teammate? No. Was he always an angel off the field? No. It doesn't matter. At the end of the day, the guy is first ballot hall of famer and a Viking legend.

Anderson's miss, Robert Smith running out of bounds, Green taking a knee, and the defense choking.

You kind of covered it in "the defense choking", but I would add (specifically) Griffith dropping an INT in Atlanta's end-zone.

It's funny because CC was far greater a jerk than Moss was.

Yet another team and another chapter ends for this "hasbeen". No one seems to want to keep him

Randy Moss bids adieu to disinterested 49ers
San Francisco Chronicle | Mar 3
The writing was on the wall.
Now, Randy Moss has placed it on social media.
The 49ers‘ wide receiver and pending free agent made it clear he won’t be back for a second season in San Francisco, via his Twitter account Saturday evening: “Wished we could’ve finished the job!!thanks for the opportunity an good luck in the future 9ers.”
Moss’ tweet came on the heels of a report from ProFootballTalk earlier in the day that quoted a source as saying the 49ers didn’t have interest in re-signing the future Hall of Famer.

I will always love Randy Moss. And the question/answer about who was the greatest is a bit skewed by the fact that Jerry Rice spent the bulk of his career catching passes in an offense run by Joe Montana and Steve Young(HOFers I believe).

In Moss' time with a HOF QB he set the single season TD record...fairly late in his career too.

You put Moss with a Brady, Favre or Manning from day one and I would wager his whole ethic and attitude would have been different. It doesn't excuse what he was, but as talented and smart as he was/is, playing for McCombs must have been real inspiring to him.

And if no other teams sign him it will be for the same reason.

Nice try though.

"A league source told ProFootballTalk that 49ers personnel made it clear at last week's NFL Scouting Combine that Moss won't be back with the 49ers next season.
It can't be called a surprise. The 36-year-old Moss totaled just 28 receptions all season. Absent from his game were the speed, power and elusive feet that had terrorized defenses during most of his 14-season tenure in the NFL".
Nice try at what I was stating the facts and you agreed that if Moss does not sign with another team it is because of his age. I did not say that he had done anything wrong with the niners I refered to him as a hasbeen (dictionary describes a hasbeen as follows:
has-been=
[haz-bin] Show IPA noun
a person or thing that is no longer effective, successful, popular, etc. That describes Moss at this point in his career. CORRECT

Oh yeah... cya AaronItout!

Anyone get the feeling he's going back to NE? BB has no problem bringing back old players and they have no WR under contract.
