Episode Notes
Mike Silver joins the show to debate whether the NFC Championship game — featuring the far superior Seahawks and Rams — was the actual Super Bowl, given the gap between those teams and the Patriots. He also breaks down why the 49ers didn’t sign Cooper Kupp after the Rams released him and how San Francisco evaluated the fit, timing, and roster implications. Smart analysis, big-picture context, and plenty of 49ers insight.
