We just punched our ticket out of the superbowl... Seahawks gonna get home field advantage. I'm having flashbacks

Today's game had zero effect on home field advantage.

Please explain.
I am pretty sure this game can be a factor in home field advantage.

Even if we had won, we would still have had to win in Seattle because of their win yesterday versus Carolina (that was before our game). I guarantee that had Seattle lost to Carolina, Shanahan would have exposed the play book more and tried harder for the win yesterday.

Regardless, they still would have had to win next week versus the Rams.

So since Seattle won yesterday, the Niners must win in Seattle to get home field and the division. Losing or winning yesterday did not change that fact. Hence why they played it like a pre-season game.

Since only week 17 matters, I suppose Kyle will not try to win this Saturday. The Rams game doesn't count any more or less than the Falcons game so it must not be a factor in HFA.

If Shanahan didn'y try to win yesterday he is a terrible head coach.

I didn't say only week 17 matters. Week 16 could possibly matter, if both the Packers and Saints win as well. Since we're playing on Saturday, we need to do whatever it takes to win.

And I didn't say Shanahan didn't try to win. They try to win preseason games too.

If week 15 didn't matter in regard to seeding, why would week 16? To me, they count the same.

If the 49ers would have won, they could have potentially been able to rest starters in week 17. That would have been the smart time to go vanilla and not try hard to win.

Teams don't really care about winning in the preseason.

I was at the game...20 yardline...15 rows up. Still haven't gotten over it.

The 3 game gauntlet took a lot out of them.
we get a deflated rams team next week, bring on Seattle for the # 1 seed. The boys will be ready

The second half of our schedule has been brutal, not surprised they lost a game they was expected to win, especially with some big key players out on D too.

If the 49ers had to lose one of the 3 final games, this was the one to lose. If the 49ers win the final 2, they are 1st seed in the NFC. Good 49ers can beat anyone, bad 49ers couldn't beat most teams in the NFL. We say bad 49ers today, but good 49ers exist too.

All good posts, and true. This was obviously treated as somewhat of a throwaway game by Shanahan. Rested a lot of players and had vanilla, pre-season like game plans on both sides of the ball. A win or loss today literally changes nothing, it's still all about week 17 in Seattle.

Chess not checkers, guys. Relax.

It mattered. The 49ers could have had rested everyone in Seattle.
A week 17 throwaway game would have made more sense, they could have held back the play book this week and rested dinged up starters.
The team gained nothing by holding back effort in playcalling against Atlanta.
Hope it.qasn't hubris.

No one would have expected Seattle to lay an egg at home against Arizona with everything on the line. Aside from play calling, Sherman and Williams were held out even though they could have played had it been a win or go home scenario. Should we have risked their health too for a what if?

Also, what is your explanation then for the vanilla game plan on both sides of the ball? Coaches just forgot to coach last week?

Honestly I think they're regretting not playing more strategically against Seattle the first time. Get the clock moving at the end of OT, and at worst it's a tie. That would have wrapped up the division and #1 seed as well. I'm sure that's been haunting them and was on their minds prior to the Atlanta game.

Young coaches, young team. They won't be perfect. We're 12-3. I'm happy as can be. Strange that some try so hard to find every little fault with a team they supposedly love.

Yes but I also didn't expect the 49ers offense to lay an egg against Atlanta at home. Hopefully the strategy against Atlanta doesn't cost the 49ers of Super Bowl.
You are criticizing my fandom because you are defensive after repeatedly lecturing people about how the Atlanta game would have "zero effect" on home field advantage. No need to lash out. There is room for criticism of the Atlanta game.

I'm ok with the game Sunday night being so important. The one thing this team lacks the most is experience. We need the team to face adversity and big games like this. Wilson, Brees, and Rodgers have likely faced more 'big games' by themselves than our entire team combined. Only Sherm and Staley really know what big games feel like. Two guys on the entire roster.

It's not just you, there are several posters on here who exhibit similar traits. I wasn't lecturing anyone, simply stating what was true at that time. We also don't know if possibly Seattle was holding back yesterday a bit. Maybe they didn't want to go all in for the #1 seed as they can still win the division with a win next week.

Not sure why you're holding onto this or feeling the need to open a two week old thread to say I told you so. Whatever gets you through the day I guess.

Definitely will be a fun one and could build some great momentum for the playoffs. A meaningless week 17 would have been anti-climactic.

You should be more respectful of other people's opinions if you don't want being totally wrong about something thrown in your face. You were adamant about the game being meaningless.

It mattered. The 49ers could have had rested everyone in Seattle.
A week 17 throwaway game would have made more sense, they could have held back the play book this week and rested dinged up starters.
The team gained nothing by holding back effort in playcalling against Atlanta.
Hope it.qasn't hubris.

No one would have expected Seattle to lay an egg at home against Arizona with everything on the line. Aside from play calling, Sherman and Williams were held out even though they could have played had it been a win or go home scenario. Should we have risked their health too for a what if?

Also, what is your explanation then for the vanilla game plan on both sides of the ball? Coaches just forgot to coach last week?

Honestly I think they're regretting not playing more strategically against Seattle the first time. Get the clock moving at the end of OT, and at worst it's a tie. That would have wrapped up the division and #1 seed as well. I'm sure that's been haunting them and was on their minds prior to the Atlanta game.

Young coaches, young team. They won't be perfect. We're 12-3. I'm happy as can be. Strange that some try so hard to find every little fault with a team they supposedly love.

Yes but I also didn't expect the 49ers offense to lay an egg against Atlanta at home. Hopefully the strategy against Atlanta doesn't cost the 49ers of Super Bowl.
You are criticizing my fandom because you are defensive after repeatedly lecturing people about how the Atlanta game would have "zero effect" on home field advantage. No need to lash out. There is room for criticism of the Atlanta game.

It's not just you, there are several posters on here who exhibit similar traits. I wasn't lecturing anyone, simply stating what was true at that time. We also don't know if possibly Seattle was holding back yesterday a bit. Maybe they didn't want to go all in for the #1 seed as they can still win the division with a win next week.

Not sure why you're holding onto this or feeling the need to open a two week old thread to say I told you so. Whatever gets you through the day I guess.

I am going to call BS on your attack on me as someone who:
Strange that some try so hard to find every little fault with a team they supposedly love.

You found as much or more fault in them as I did when ypu said they made a mistake in Seattle.

If anything, I found fault with your characterization that Kyle "threw away" the game and treated it like a "preseason game" and that the Atlanta game would have "zero effect" on HFA.

You should be more respectful of other people's opinions if you don't want being totally wrong about something thrown in your face. You were adamant about the game being meaningless.

Again, what is your explanation for the vanilla game plan on both sides of the ball?

And relax, dude. You're always so quick to get triggered by people, claim you're being attacked, etc. Good lord we're all Niners fans and want the team to win.

I don't have an explanation. If Kyle threw the game away as you suggest, I question his judgement.

This is an attack on my fandom:
Strange that some try so hard to find every little fault with a team they supposedly love.

Neither I nor anyone suggested he "threw the game away." Played it very conservatively, like a preseason game. Didn't it appear that way to you?

As far as the "attack," I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Wasn't my intention.

The 3 game gauntlet took a lot out of them.
we get a deflated rams team next week, bring on Seattle for the # 1 seed. The boys will be ready

The second half of our schedule has been brutal, not surprised they lost a game they was expected to win, especially with some big key players out on D too.

If the 49ers had to lose one of the 3 final games, this was the one to lose. If the 49ers win the final 2, they are 1st seed in the NFC. Good 49ers can beat anyone, bad 49ers couldn't beat most teams in the NFL. We say bad 49ers today, but good 49ers exist too.

You literally said that Kyle treated it like a "throwaway game".

It didn't hurt, I am just pointing out that it is BS to saysomeone only supposedly loves the team because they don't think it would be smart to treat the Atlanta game as a "throwaway game" or a "preseason game" and they felt like the game matters to HFA.

I just checked every one of my posts in this thread, no where did I say "throw away" game or Kyle "threw the game." Perhaps you misunderstanding is why you're so triggered.

And my point about "supposedly" was in regards to posters who find "every little thing" wrong with this team. Harping on one loss to Atlanta where we had a vanilla game plan is one of MANY things that such posters criticize. Not sure why you're taking this one thing so personally.

Dudes, c'mon now. It is the holidays quit gnawing on one another for f**k's sake.
