1st Team All Pro - TE George Kittle Thread

If it was just a knee or just an ankle, I think he plays. But both make me nervous. He could injure himself more.

Like others have posted, rest him. Get back to full strength. We don't need him to go undefeated anymore. I think we can win games without him. Hopefully he is back for the Saints game. That, I believe, will be the game for home field advantage.

What's the latest on Kittle, is he practicing?

Just have to say, if Kittle was healthy to play vs. Seattle, there is no way we would have lost that game. Both the passing game and the running game would have been much better.

OK now Kyle is starting to be more forthright about this. It was serious.

George Kittle showed some breakaway speed In the locker room. He went to his cubicle, grabbed something and then continued on, a few steps ahead of the media. He said, as he walked away, "Close, guys."

Why is he ducking the media.

I know Kittle wants to play so bad, I just reaaaaaaaaallly don't want to risk him being out there. Let's get you another week of rest, my guy, and then unleash you against Green Bay.

Best to rest him and have him ready for the Packers.

I agreed with you. I dont want to risk to Kittle being out there. He should rest his knee and ankles. We will be without him. We will win against the Cardinals this Sunday. Go 49ers

We need either him or Sanders this week to beat the Cardinals. Without either one, I do not like our chances.

Your most likely right - let's hope we get Sanders back at least.

This is a game we absolutely cannot afford to drop. The schedule is tough enough over this last stretch without going against a team you should beat down a bunch of skill position players. You have to take it one week at a time. As much as I don't want to risk Kittle long-term, we HAVE to beat Arizona. The NFC is so stacked right now, I'm not sure 13-3 gets an automatic first round bye.

Thats what I've been thinking. Of course the year we go 8-0 to star the season only puts us up a 1/2 game after our first loss. Its going to be a dog fight until the end. Playing GB and NO and the Ravens really puts us in a good spot to play at a high level and forces them to keep their foot on the gas, plus tells us how good we are or aren't before the playoffs and we can gain spots over NO and GB with wins in those games.

GB has a weak schedule from here on out and NO doesn't have it very tough either, so those will be crucial games for us.

This is my thinking. The schedule is what it is. We will certainly be measured and know what we're capable of. Imo it helps more than anything. We should definitely get in to the playoffs bye week or not. I expect us to be an extremely difficult opponent for anyone to face.

Absolutely, hopefully we are healthy
