You're merging 2012 and 13 together.

12 was

Green Bay at Candlestick
@ Atlanta

13 was

@ Green Bay
@ Carolina
@ Seattle

Go, Niners, go!

I saw that clock remaining after the Hooper overturned TD and flipping knew what was going to happen and it should not have happened, I guess it doesn't matter, it is up to the team to get the job done. I wouldn't bet 20 dollars that we leave Seattle on a two-game streak but it isn't over until its over. Until they don't do it, I will just assume they will.

Nope. Rams can still tie the Vikings at 10-6 and be the #6 WC, knocking Vikings out of the playoffs. So they will be playing for their playoff lives still Sat night.

Rams are toast. Have to win the last 2 and pray the Vikings lose their last 2. Both Viking games are in Minnesota- Packers and Bears.

The odds are against them. But stranger things have happened than the Rams winning two games and the Vikings losing two games.

Your right.. anything can happen, I just wish that they weren't as motivated and needing this game to stay alive. For us its the Rams, fighting for their life and doing it with a bi-polar team that looks like the GSOT with a gnarly defense one day and the next looking like St. Mary's catholic School for girls JV.

Oh yeah.. and if that plays out its on to Seattle, where there hasn't been a win since 2011. You know, except for this year

If we had won, we'd be one game up on Seattle.

Guess what? We'd STILL have to win Week 17. Otherwise Seattle would have the tiebreaker.

Because we lost, we are now tied with Seattle.

Which means... you guessed it! STILL have to win Week 17!

Things COULD change if we lose to the Rams and Seattle beats the Cardinals and a bunch of other things happen. But it's likely, either way, that we are in a position where we have to win Week 17 to win the division. This was true before, during and after today's game, regardless of if we had stopped Jones at the 1-yard line or allowed him to score the game-winning TD.

Yeah and how likely do you think it is that we go into Seattle and win? When was the last time you saw this team win a BIG GAME up there? It seems like we lose all the big ones up there for a decade or more. If not much more.

Well then it's long overdue

Kyle threw this game. He's playing the long game. He ran a pre-season offense; like he doesn't want to put anything on film unless absolutely necessary. Rested guys that could've played too. I'm sure he thought he could've won, but this game literally means nothing. We STILL have to beat Seattle at the end. IF Seattle had lost to Carolina we might've seen a different playbook.

Now the next 2 games are a must win. I hope having their backs against the wall ups the level of play/coaching.

I know tin foil hat theory, but we've seen Belichick throw a game before to eliminate certain opponents from the playoffs.

Its understandable to lose this game, but one thing for sure the 9ers need to start peaking over the next two games.

History shows that Good teams that fizzle out toward the end of season don't go far in the playoffs.

I'm pretty sure that year we had a 1st round bye. Kaep destroyer GB at home in the NFCD game. Then went into ATL and pretty much shut them down in the 2nd half of the NFCC game. f**k the officials in that Super Bowl.

Oh well, Atlanta is this years version of the 2017 49ers, beating playoff teams and staying home watching the playoffs in January.

Major bummer losing today. Atlanta isn't a good football team, they are also injury riddled and played sloppy. Better now than in the playoffs but still a bummer.

Defense has choked away leads in three consecutive games now. Last week we were just lucky to still have time for the offense to save us.

Having Tartt, Sherman and K'Waun back will improve but seriously it's time to bench Jimmie Ward. So over it already!!!

It seemed like multiple week injuries for all 3 of them.

HHeard on TV that Sherman is expected back next week. I'm not sure about the other two but I'm guess they'll all be back in time for the playoffs.

That makes me very nervous if he does play. I appreciate how badly he wants to return but grade two hamstring strains need more than two weeks.

Finally someone gets it! Great post.

Saw Deion's take on the loss...and he still believes the team can make a run to the SB. We should too.
