Lol we ran a ravens West offense. It was pretty dumb

Was much more akin to the Bill's West than the Ravens West.

We have a bunch of running backs now. Kyle will pound it with them!

Also, I think the only reason Kyle called as much QB runs as he did against the Cards, was because their defense and offense was the best at that time.. Kyle wanted to play ball control at all cost with his rookie QB. Only path to victory for an important game. Three yards and a cloud of....er field turf balls?

But against the Texans, I'm sure Kyle will open it up.

It sounded like his index finger was effed up too (ironically).

The key to this game is for Lance staying in the pocket for the most part. There's so many weapons, he needs to use them all. Another important factor in this game is to protect Mitchell by limiting his snaps. We can't run him to the ground and risk getting injured again and missing the playoffs. I understand football is about playing aggressive to win but we have to be smart too at the same time. Someone has to be in Shanahan's ears to remind him from time to time.

TL is not our worry. It is the scrubs playing LB and CB. So long as the OL plays well TL will be fine. Just pound the rock.

I need some damn Niners football.

Lets go Niners!! Take another huge step towards the playoffs.

I'm very interested to see how Trey has developed since his start against the Cardinals. Trey was said to have more learning potential than the other QB's in his class, and has been quietly developing all season... and then the reports are that he's grown a lot in the last month.

I'm expecting to see less of a read-option gameplan if he starts. I'm hoping and guessing it'll be heavy run, play action rollouts, and a lot of disguise. Lance didn't have Kittle back when we played the Cardinals, and our run game hadn't coalesced to what it is now. He SHOULD have a much more effective game, especially since the Texans are not the Cardinals.

This is a good prep for Trey, as the specter of him possibly facing the Rams, for a wild card spot appears likely.

The one thing I do not want to hear:

"AND STARTING FOR THE 49ERS IN THIS FIRST ROUND PLAYOFF GAME, QUARTERBACK NATE SUDEFELD!"

Please, Lord. No.

I'll be happy if we MAKE the playoffs!

Go 49ers! 1 more sleep & some 49ers football

It'll be interesting to see what the gameplan is if Lance plays. People seem to think Kyle didn't trust him against Arizona, but if Kyle didn't trust him wouldn't he have handed the ball off more than 12 times and not go for it several times on 4th and short? Lance also attempted 29 passes on 38 pass plays, so it isn't like Kyle didn't let him throw. I'm not sure why Kyle had Lance run up the middle so many times, but it doesn't feel like a lack of trust imo.

Less than 24 hours from now until we know the truth.

My penis is tingling - the game is getting so close.
