So what are the minimum # of wins to make the playoffs, win the division, get a bye and get the #1 seed?
My guesses:
Min. wins for wildcard: 11
Division: 12
Bye: 13
#1 Seed: 14
Yep I think the only game we can lose now is the Ravens game to keep the #1 seed. Have to win all other games which will be a tall order.

13 wins will likely get us the #1 seed. You think every other top team in the NFC is going to win out? Come on.

This is why I don't see sanders as a true #1. He's a little too insubstantial.
Kinda frustrating, to me, to cough up draft capital for a guy who can't take a hit.
We already have that in Pettis.
I'd like to secure a big guy like Metcalf, but a little smarter player who can hold onto the ball.
Sanders is tough, and is very good in the middle of the field. Stop making up things to complain about.
He's tough? That's news to me. Just saw him leave the game for a day-to-day rib injury.

Right now, I have zero issues with Kyle Shanahan, as far as playcalling. Fact of the matter is, he just doesn't have the tools to work with right now. Just a bunch of scrub ass receivers besides Deebo, Sanders, Kittle, and the backup TEs.
I expect opposing defenses to start stacking the box more, and playing more man coverage. Our guys just can't beat man. And even on the off chance that they do, they will drop the ball.
Hopefully at least one of Kittle and Sanders can play. Otherwise, we don't even have a shot.

"I agree with what you just said," Shanahan responded. "He's had a number of opportunities. I'm one of the guys that believed in him the most. That's why he's here. He's had his opportunities. The more he doesn't take advantage of his opportunities, the less opportunities he gets.
"He did get a couple last night because of injury and I didn't think he made them. We'll see how this week goes. Dante has the ability, but we're waiting for him to pick it up, and have the consistency, and take advantage of some of these opportunities he's gotten."
Pettis is Meh. Shanahan is more patient then I am.

Our biggest mistake was not signing a quality receiver in the off season and trying to draft our way out of the fact that our receivers are a bunch of finesse types.
We are now seeing this play out....
Originally posted by LasVegasWally:Someone, whether KS or Saleh, needs to figure the best way to contain mobile QB's like Wilson, Murray, and Lamar who are in our future schedule. We won't really stop them but we need to contain them for sure.
As far as the WR's go - we have to play the hand we're dealt. Maybe Richie James is an ace we should play.
Do they make these WR's who drop passes walk around all week w/a ball in their hands like in times past?
If they can't be coached up to hold on to the ball maybe they can be embarrassed enough to do it.
Maybe you should go to one of the open training camps. They all take turns on the jugs before and after practice.Originally posted by Niners_D:Originally posted by pete98146:Originally posted by Scottie15:Been saying this for awhile by NY keeps saying I have a fetish for big receivers.

I would agree. Outside of Deebo who plays with a RB mindset, there are too many finesse types. Deebo just needs to hit the jugs machine 100x a day after practice. And on that note, I have to ask...do we even own a jugs machine? I say that a bit facetiously but I'm kind of serious too....

Doesn't it definitely feel similar to the Saleh situation? Sure, we ranked 11 in yards/play on defense last year. But we couldn't create turnovers to save our lives and had zero pass rush among other terrible things going on.
This year on offense. Sure, we can still move the ball. But we still have very visible holes on offense, and the opponents adjustments will only make that more difficult. Justin Smith was just talking about it this week, saying it's like the Harbaugh teams that just needed a couple pieces.
Re-sign Sanders and replace Pettis and Bourne with big-time talents at WR. More than open to letting them compete in camp, but ultimately hoping we find players so good that we can go into season with Sanders, Samuel, Hurd, and another couple new guys as the top 5.
