Hopefully have an answer on the DBs and protocol today

Yes. We could use some good news back there esp. S/CB so that Moseley can stay outside.

Yeah, K'waun is an unheralded anchor for this defense. I'm more concerned with him missing the game than Ward. Hopefully we hear good news today.

No way…Ward is the glue man

How much are tickets at that place? They must be really expensive considering what it cost to build that stadium.

Aren't you guaranteed a home game anyway by being #4?? It seems with the rule changes the only team to really benefit by seeding is the #1 seed which ensures them home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

The number 2 seed is guaranteed two home games if they win. And they would not have to travel to frigid Green Bay until the NFC title game. Definitely worth playing all the starters and trying to win even if AZ loses.

#49ers HC Kyle Shanahan loves using George Kittle to exploit LB's in coverage. This Sunday vs. #Rams, he needs to target Troy Reeder aggressively and consistently.

Troy Reeder in Coverage⤵️

- 79.6 comp%
- 8.6 ypc
- 3 TD's
- 98.2 rating
- 251 YAC
- 14.2 missed tackle% pic.twitter.com/lxmBxtsHMX

Whatever happens tomorrow, it's been a hell of a ride.

There's wasn't a dull moment from Verrett and Mostert going down for the season in game 1 to Trey progressing and getting his first win to a winner-take-all game in Week 18 for both teams.

Yeah, I'm proud of how this team has played through adversity and come alive after most had given up on them. It would be a shame to miss the playoffs, but there's a lot to look forward to.

Totally. Looking back, the original goal was to make the playoffs and give the veterans a chance to make one final run (we have a ton of veteran one-year contracts) while simultaneously allowing Trey a safe space to grow and development and even get some live reps; build up his foundation to start next year and start working toward his ceiling.

This would give us a better shot at increasing Garoppolo's trade value, a meaningful season for the veterans and provide Trey with all the intangible QB perspectives to be the starter next year with optimal excitement for the returners.

Mission (nearly) accomplished.

Like the take man. Hope we close the regular season strong tomorrow. No matter what, it has been a hell of a season. Proud of these guys.

Horsefeathers.
The rebuild was 4 years ago.
Niners should be in Super Bowl or Bust mode.
But yeah, give the team a ribbon for being "meaningful".

(I'll be in reflection after the game, but for now….)
Go Niners! Eviscerate the Lambs

From @NFLGameDay: The #49ers list QB Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) as questionable, but a few signs appear to be pointing to him attempting to go on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/ekR4gYbS9G

Depends which QB Is starting. I could see Kittle having a big game If Jimmy Is starting, not so much if Lance Is starter, since he prefers Aiyuk.
