Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1425: Unable to Escape Fate

The 2019 season has come to an end and the th Super Bowl is about to begin.

The Kansas City Chiefs are a mature team that is stable, strong and outstanding. Although they face many difficulties and tests, such as the physical test and injury problems after a long season, the mental pressure of an undefeated season and standing in front of historical records, and the interference of various curses; the team's overall structure is solid, the lower limit is higher, and it has a tenacious will, which is definitely a tough nut to crack.

In other words, it would be unrealistic to expect the Kansas City Chiefs to collapse on the Super Bowl stage.

Just like the two Super Bowl finals in the 2007 and 2011 seasons, the New England Patriots still performed well, but the suspense of victory or defeat lies in the hands of the New York Giants. If they show the momentum of going all out, they will be able to turn the situation around; otherwise, the New England Patriots are undoubtedly the favorites to win the championship.

It's the same thing in front of me.

The suspense and final result of the Super Bowl depends on the performance of the challenger San Francisco 49ers. Even the excitement of the game depends on this. If you are not careful, the game may be completely ruined.

Just like last year's Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams performed poorly in the Super Bowl, failed to create suspense or confrontation, and were defeated hastily.

The San Francisco 49ers are in a similar position this year, especially with Garoppolo.

From Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Foles to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Goff, the performance of the quarterbacks has determined the excitement of the Super Bowl in the past two years; and the Kansas City Chiefs have been consistent and fought to the end, whether facing the last buzzer-beater of the Philadelphia Eagles or the head-on breakthrough against the Los Angeles Rams. This team has indeed continued to grow and transform step by step year by year, and now the pressure is on Garoppolo.

Since the end of the NFC Finals, the criticism and accusations surrounding Garoppolo have been endless, and even intensified, continuing to occupy the top of the hot search list——

Eight shots in the entire game is incredible no matter how you look at it. Not to mention 2019, it is not common even in football games in 1019.

"It's better to change the starting quarterback. Shanahan doesn't trust Garoppolo anyway."

"Is Garoppolo going to play again? No, I might as well go to sleep."

"Bold prediction: In the Super Bowl, Garoppolo will take 80 shots, leaving the running back with nowhere to go and making all the haters shut up."

The hustle and bustle, the noise, all kinds of sarcasm and memes fill the field of vision endlessly.

It was a rare sight that the entire network's focus was not on Levi, but on Garoppolo.

Then, Garoppolo had to respond --

He didn't even wait until the Super Bowl media day to be interviewed at the San Francisco 49ers training base and responded directly to the doubts.

"No, I'm not worried."

Garoppolo said this, showing the demeanor of a general, and he admitted that he knew what kind of artillery his offense would face after only eight pass attempts in the NFC Championship Game.

"That's what I learned from Richard Sherman, that I shouldn't let those noises bother me, but I should use them as motivation."

When he was in Seattle Seahawks, Sherman was nicknamed "Big Mouth". He liked to speak passionately on the mic, both on and off the court. He was always at the center of controversy because of his sharp personality. Even Ramsey, the "big mouth king" who regarded Sherman as his idol, said that he did not want to talk nonsense on the court like Sherman.

Sherman has been in the eye of the storm. Now that he has been freed from all the hype, the former ace cornerback has obviously restrained himself in the second half of his career.

This time, it seems that Sherman gave Garoppolo a lot of help.

"I heard everything, but you can't refute it one by one. You have to do what you want to do and accept things as they are, because no matter what others say, you still have to face the game yourself." "I'm ready."

"I am ready to face the best team in the league and the two-time defending champions. I know what kind of team I am facing, a behemoth, a giant. At the same time, I also know my goal. We are not going to play for the runner-up."

Peaceful, natural, yet not concealing its edge at all.

After a season of polishing, Garoppolo is indeed growing.

Then the reporter asked, "Did your agent Donald Yu teach you these words?"

GALOPPOLIO: …

Completely caught off guard, after going around in circles, some words are still unavoidable. The "Iron Triangle of Destiny" with Donald as the core was mentioned again after all. No matter how well or badly Garoppolo performs, the media always finds a way to drag him into the topic storm of Brady or Levi.

This is fate.

Garoppolo was so angry that he didn't know how to respond. He just laughed out of anger.

His performance was so perfect, yet the reporters still found a loophole?

Fortunately, the San Francisco 49ers all stood behind Garoppolo, expressed their support with practical actions, and joined hands to fight against the "evil" media.

From head coach Shanahan to tight end Kittle to defensive tackle Nick Bosa, everyone from top to bottom pointed out that the team's focus on ground offense has nothing to do with Garoppolo's ability, it's just a strategic consideration. They believe that doing so can win the game, so they did it.

Offensive tackle Joe Staley not only protected Garoppolo's blind side on the field, but also continued to protect Garoppolo's back off the field.

“It’s crazy that Garoppolo is accepting this criticism.”

"We won the game. We just did what we had to do to win, and that's the point of a professional game. If Garoppolo threw for 400 yards and we lost the game, he would be sad. So it's no big deal."

Lamar Jackson: Why don't you just say my name?
Shanahan also blocked the media's attack, "In fact, Garoppolo completed an excellent season after recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament last season, so he is qualified to compete for the Comeback Player of the Year Award."

On this point, the head coach was right, he was not making up stories -

In Garoppolo's 2019 season, he passed for 3978 yards, the fourth-highest performance in the history of the San Francisco 49ers; his pass success rate was as high as 69.1%, ranking fifth in the league this season; he had three games in which he passed for 70 yards, four touchdowns and a pass success rate of more than %, the most in the league this season.

Most importantly, he is the only quarterback in the league whose passing success rate, average passing yards, and passing touchdowns are all in the top five this season.

No wonder before the end of the regular season, the call for "Garopolo regular season MVP" was briefly popular for a while, although it did not last long.

Shanahan said, "If we need him, he is always ready to contribute to the team and lead us to victory. We know the price to beat the Kansas Chiefs, and there is no doubt that Garoppolo is an indispensable part of it. The responsibility of victory is on his shoulders."

So, Garoppolo is the little Manning of the 2019 season?
