SF 49ERS @ SEA SEAHAWKS PREGAME THREAD - 2019 Season Week 17

Agree. And I'll just add I think we have the better coach. I've been impressed how Kyle's been able to get future grocery baggage guys to play legit NFL offense.

On defense is where we are hurting and I've been impressed that the defensive coaches have been able to find guys to plug in as the injuries mount. I'm hoping we'll have even better depth next year as Kyle continues to grow on the defensive side.

Oh my goodness, arrest me and send me to jail for misspelling the name of our SS, you make it sound like if it was the crime of the century.

OK, so you have said a lot that don't mean a lot. It has nothing to do with "making a bold statement". To counter somebody's points of view and yet not standing by your own is meaningless. It really is. LOL.

I stand by everything I said. I just cant predict the future, so I dont need to make a coin flip prediction to justify it.

You've spent more time defending your spelling errors and talking about being bold than you have explaining why my counter points aren't true.

I never said that not knowing Tartt has two T's was the crime of the century, I just suggested that if you're going to write out a brashly opinionated post about what's going to happen on Sunday, getting the basic details like player names helps what you say get taken seriously.

a cawk fan complaining about annoying behavior, when Pete is their coach? Gtfo lol

That dude is exactly who I picture the average "12" is in demeanor and whiny behavior

Bosa is going to feast on their backup LT. They can't afford to provide help for that backup LT all game.

I can't see us doing it. Just way too many issues for this match up.

My prediction is we will have to run the ball in this game, if we can't, I think we will be doomed.

I think Jimmy G will be under duress all night long (even if Clowney is not 100%).

Is no big secret this O-line is a complete waste of space when it comes to pass pro. Run-blocking, sure, but pass protection? Forget about it, is worse than pathetic. There is a reason why the 9ers have the lightest O-line in the entire league. This line has been simply over-compromised for run-blocking.

Their linebackers already know Jimmy G loves to throw in the middle of the field. Wagner and his crew will try to shut down all the easy crossing routes as far as possible. And because of their pass rush, Jimmy won't have enough time to wait for the deeper routes to develop.

Our savior aka George Kittle who wasn't in the last game, I am pretty sure they will be double-teaming him trying to shut him down, period. That means Sanders will have to step up, but will he be able to handle their physical secondary? Last time they fractured his ribs, so it remains to be seen. That only leaves Deebo and KB, in other words, not great.

As for our D, our pass rush is far from 100%. Dee Ford is out yet again and our rotational D-linemen are no longer what they used to be with too many injuries piled up. In fact, it is so bad I have even lost count on the number of games we have gone without a single sack now, 3 games? As if that wasn't bad enough, let's add Julian Taylor to the IR list too. That means there is no way in hell we will be able to generate the kind of pressure up front like we did in the first game. In other words, Russell Wilson will have a far easier time in this game unless we keep dialing up blitzes to make up for the deficiencies.

I haven't even mentioned Beast Mode. I know a lot of people here thinks he is just a fat dude with a beer gut who will only have 5 carries and sit on the bench of the rest of the game. However, I am not one of them. Marshawn Lynch may not run all over us with huge chunk plays per se, but all he needs to do is convert on 3rd downs, 4th downs and leap over the goal line to score. None of our DBs will be able to stop him mano-a-mano unless they gang-tackle him on every single play. If you allow him to get to the second level, he will demoralize the D as they find out how tough it is to counter grown man strength.

So, if we can't run the ball, Jimmy G and the offense will struggle big time like they did in the last game. I think Jimmy will easily throw a couple of picks, the pressure up front and the noise will get to him. And quite frankly, it won't be his fault, it will be on that useless O-line.

Last time it took a Pick 6 and an INT in OT by Greenlaw for us to get to a point whereby we could tie the game, so how do I see our chances in this game? And at C-Link? I will be honest, not good, I had always chalked it down as a loss which was why I was so mega pis*ed off with Shanny for losing the last game at home.

But, what do I know anyway? I am no gambler and so far I had called for losses against the Ravens and the Saints. Both games were separated by a FG, so I am 50/50 at this point. For all I know, may be the Seahawks will play like sh*t on the night, but based on my honest analysis I doubt it. It is just really super difficult to play at C-Link and ever since Russell Wilson became the starting QB of the Seahawks, he hasn't lost a single game to us at home for 8 consecutive years and counting.

So, I will disagree with Vegas and say the odds are against us. Our biggest issues with this match-up are both the regression of our D which is huge plus the ineptitude of our O-line in protecting Jimmy G to allow him to do his thing.

The good news is they did lose to both the Rams and the Cards, so there is a glimmer of optimism there. Let's hope I am wrong...

Why so negative?

One more day - let's get this party started.

marshawn looks fat to me. Maybe it was the workout clothes

At the end of the day, this game is not the one that makes the season. It's the end result. I'd rather the niners lose this game and run the table than win this game and be one and done. Let's keep it in perspective.
