San Francisco 49ers - 2022 NFC West Champions

Feels great, baby!

Feels Purdy good, baby!

How did we win West when we were constantly told by certain members on here that the Rams were making a huge splash in free agency and we only got C Ward?

And we did it with the help of Mr Irrelevant.

So do we sit our key players for huge chunks of games the rest of the way? I'd let them play a half in each game.

It will be nice to enjoy these last few games without them being too stressful since we have already locked up the NFC West.

If I'm Kyle I start off with minimal play time reduction, then increase the time players are given plays off as the three final games take place and the 1-2-3 seeding is sorted out.

First, if Eagles win two more games they lock up the #1 seed. The conference record tie breaker is actually on the Niners' side since all four of the Eagles' remaining games are against NFC teams, while the Niners only have two of their last three against the NFC. This means that if they end up with the same record (12-5 or 13-4) Niners would have at least two less NFC losses than than the Eagles (both 12-5 = 2 or 3 49er NFC losses, while Eagles' would be all 5; both 13-4 = 2 49er NFC losses, while Eagles would have 4).

As long as #1 is possible, I would play hard, but maybe a bit more conscious of the bigger picture that the difference between seed 2 & 3 is nowhere near as significant as 1 & 2.

So, the Washington game is possibly the last game they play where the #1 seed is still possible. If they go into the Raiders game with no chance at the #1 anymore, then you have far less incentive to sell out to change from #3 to #2 (or keep #2, depending on what happens with the Vikings in their next couple games). I know I'd rather rest guys that final game against the Cardinals and have #3 and health than sell out for #2 and get a key player injured and have them out for that first playoff game.

Feels like 2019, hopefully with a different ending.

I don't miss that, but it's a whole lot better than bang bang Niner gang.

Bang bang Niner gang is kinda stupid tbh. Needs to be a new one

It's totally stupid.

Yeah, I feel like it's more of a Raider saying.. you know because it's the raiders

Bingest difference there was needing until basically the last play of the season to win the division. So that team played hard for every snap through 16 games. This team wrapped up the division in 14, which may end up making all the difference.

Do people actually buy division championship gear like what is being advertised in the shop? Unless you're a collector, it seems weird to purchase a piece of gear that will be definitionally out of date the following season AND that could be surpassed in significance based on how the playoffs unfold.

I'm praying that we end up playing the eagles. PLEASE let us play the eagles and we punk them at their place. I hate the F'ing eagles and their fans are the worst in the NFL.

Such gear probably does decently in some team markets. 49ers have won so many NFC West titles and their fans care so little for anything but the five SB wins that this has to be one of the worst markets for such gear. We're probably on the low end of sales for conference championship gear when it happens, too.

I FKN LOVE THIS TEAM

12-4?
