San Francisco 49ers punt returner Kyle Williams has received numerous death threats after two costly turnovers during Sunday’s NFC Championship game.
After reading of these stupid comments, I can’t help but laugh. If 49ers fans think they lost yesterday’s NFC title game because of Williams, they don’t understand the game of football.
When fans wish death on someone, it’s clear there’s something seriously wrong with them.
Javier Pasquel tweeted, “@KyleWilliams_10. I hope you, you’re wife, kids and family die, you deserve it.”
Justin Junio tweeted, “Jim Harbaugh, please give @KyleWilliams_10 the game ball. And make sure it explodes when he gets in his car.”
Rashad Bates tweeted, “@KyleWilliams_10 two costly fumbles #reallydude? Enjoy the entire offseason knowing YOU cost us the Super Bowl I pray we resign Ginn #smh”
Cole Mathew MitGuard wrote on his Facebook page, “Kyle Williams… you need to leave San Francisco forever, you should never be allowed to play in the NFL ever again… Your play and your post game comments should be enough to earn yourself a spot in 49ers history’s… As the biggest POS to ever wear the red and gold. Lots of hope for next year, let’s just hope that KW gets hit by a bus, eaten by a lion, or dies in some other terrible way so he can’t ruin the 49ers season again… What a terrible piece of garbage you are KW, you ruined the game I have been waiting for over 10 years…”
Of course this isn’t the opinion of the entire 49ers fan base. Some fans have shown their support for Williams and you can read them all here.
At the end of the day, Williams is a human and made some crucial mistakes. Football is a team game and the 49ers didn’t lose just because of the two bad plays he made.

How can you not say the 49ers lost the game because of Kyle Williams’ 2 fumbles? A big factor in winning or losing football games is the turnover battle. The 49ers were the best at it all year and thus won a lot of games. Yesterday the 49ers (Williams) had 2. The Giants had none. 10 Giants’ points came off those turnovers because they occurred deep in 49ers’ territory.
Yes, the defense could have prevented one of those Giants’ touchdowns and won the game. The offense also could have scored more points to win the game. But the fact remains that the defense played well enough to win that game. The offense, despite their horrible performance, did enough to win the game. But the 49ers’ special teams, and Williams specifically, let the team down and cost the 49ers the win.
How awful are you people to say such horrible things. Your “TEAM” beat my beloved Saints for the NFC Championship Play-Off Game opportunity – I was REALLY upset and heartbroken over that loss and the choices that were made by the coaching staff in the last couple of minutes of that game. I was REALLY upset that Jenkins didn’t cover your guy in the back of the end zone and he caught a game winning touchdown, but I surely didn’t wish DEATH on him and his family!!!! I mean come on people – FOOTBALL IS A TEAM SPORT. A ball hitting someone in the leg is surely NOT their fault, nor is a wet football being stripped from someone’s hands – this 49ers team had an AWESOME year just like the Saints!!!! I think you all should be very proud of them!!! You need to apologize to Williams and take good long look at yourselves for being so ugly. Shame on you!!!!
Really people, death? Come on be real. Even though they lost try to have an optimistic view of this season. We went from 6-10 to 13-3 and made the NFC Championship. We have one of the youngest teams in the NFL and we will be back next year. For all you idiots threatening Williams, I seriously doubt you have ever made a mistake in your life, much less ever played sports. If you think this is the last time the Niners will be in the hunt, go root for the Raiders. At least then you can have something to “Really” complain about.
hello writer of this article – kyle’s 2 stupid mistakes gave the giants 10 points. without those 2 turnovers that put the giants in scoring position from the start, the niners win the game. bottom line.
Shaw you the most stupided person I have every came across. Yeah he made two mistakes they weren’t done on purpose. You can not control a ball hitting your knee and bouncing off, you haveing the ball striped in a wet and rain conditioner. I’m a Colts fan and look how much they sucked this year. You don’t see me wishing death on the QB who didn’t do that good. Football is just a game and everyone has bad days, his just happened to come on the most important game of the year.
Give him a break he had a good year and does not deserve to be treat like he is not human.
Really Shawn. Yeah they cost us two scores but the offense actually struggled in the second half and we actually had enough chances to win in OT. Give it a rest on Williams, he made mistakes. Take a good look in the mirror and be honest with yourself, “You are not perfect either”. As a matter of fact I bet you have already made a mistake today. If the offense had scored on just one of the chances after the defense held the Giants to three and out, we would not be having these conversations.
As I said above, a lot of games come down to turnovers. Williams turned the ball over twice. Were they mistakes? Of course. He didn’t mean to turn the ball over. But he did and it cost the 49ers the win. Our offense didn’t turn the ball over and, without those two WIlliams’ turnovers, did enough to win the game.
I certainly feel bad for Williams for the harsh words he’s been receiving. However it’s very obvious his two mistakes lost the game for the 49ers. Also, keep in mind his other reckless diving punt return and fumble on the reverse and it’s obvious he did not have a good game.
And I certainly think the 49ers have a bright future ahead of them. However, if history is our guide, chances are the 49ers won’t find themselves in the championship game, let alone Super Bowl, any time soon. In the last 5 years, only 2 out of 20 teams have returned to the championship game the following year. In the last 10 years only 7 out of 40 teams have done that and only 13 out of 40 have returned within 2 years of reaching the title game. The 49ers blew a golden opportunity in the most horrible way.
THEY SHOULD’VE PUT SOMEONE MORE RELIABLE IN THAT SITUATION AND NOT A SECOND YEAR PLAYER JUST BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF GAME THAT IT WAS AND THERE WAS NO REASON FOR HIM TO BE EVEN THAT CLOSE TO THE BALL ON THE FIRST MUFFED PUNT.. HELL THEY TEACH THE 7TH GRADERS IN FOOTBALL TO STAY AWAY FROM THE BALL WHEN IT BOUNCES LIKE THAT, THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN THE CLUE NOT TO USE HIM ON SPECIAL TEAMS LIKE THAT, I DON’T CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE OR FANS OR TEAM MATES SAY HE LOST THE GAME FOR US ON TWO IMPORTANT DRIVES.. WELL MAYBE NEXT YEAR AND CONGRATS TO HARBAUGH ON THE BEST SEASON WE HAVE HAD IN A LONG LONG LOOOONNNNGGG TIME..
Some of you “Fans” need to find a life. There are many more important happenings ongoing in this world that make a Football Team’s loss pale in comparrison. Failure of Humanity to provide Haiti with help has left 500,000 people still living in tents, fighting cholera and seeking clean water and food. Perhaps paying more attention to real important issues here and around the world might help in making you feel less troubled when your team loses a game. Threatening another person and their family’s lives or wishing them ill over a game’s loss is just insane.
As much as I agree Kyle Williams made 2 huge mistakes. I also agree that 1 for 13 on 3rd downs is shameful. Although Alex Smith has shown he can play at times, he hasn’t shown he can get it done through the air. I mean really, 300 yrds against the Saints is good, but he hasn’t had a 350+ yrd game like any of the elite quarterbacks. He can’t get us a 1st down on 3rd down, and when Peyton, Eli, Aaron, & Brees all have a 17-0 lead they demolish their opponents consistently! They don’t stall on 3 & outs for 2 1/2 quarters and let other teams back in. It’s rediculous. Good thing we have a great defense, because our offense can’t win games on days our defense just isn’t enough.
i’m a long standing fan of the 49ers,an am sorry that we have such bone head fan .i enjoy watching that game another classic even though we didn’t win.people get over it, its a game played by men mistake will happen.mr william keep on playing am a fan,just don’t let these bone head get to you. i enjoy it a lot a classic match .we’ll be ready next year forsure.great bunch of guys this team as thats why i remain a big fan.
