Niners Road to the #1 Seed

The over reactions are crazy today. I was more dismal during the 3 game losing streak. Let's see how they respond against the Washingtons.

It was one game between the two best teams in the league. They had the better gameplan yesterday and we saw the result. If you feel like our team can't adjust and does not have the talent to win round 2, I don't know what to tell you. In bball you have 7 game series so even if you stink it up you get another chance. Very rarely do you play the same team and get a second chance in football. With that being said, if we see the Ravens again we will beat them.

If u told me at the beginning of the year that all we have to do is beat redskins and rams to lock up the 1 seed I would've been ecstatic.

We saw the difference between the Bengals and Jaguars games, two completely different squads. That's the difference a week of rest makes. They absolutely need to take care of business these final 2 weeks because they are beat the F up currently. The Rams will be coming to town motivated like a crackhead looking for some rock and we need to all pray that the Seahawks lose to the Steelers next week so they secure a playoff spot beforehand.

Honestly if Kyle and John were smart enough they would shut it down now to rest everyone. Bring in the practice squad. Kyle just can't get out of his own way. Needed to run it 35 times last night between CMC and Mason. Harbaugh is smarter than Shanny and has him figured out. Kyle has to turn back into a running team with Garoppoblows play action off of it. They knew the reads on every passing play. Could have been 7 picks. Stafford gets that pass to Aiyuk in there but not Brock.

Healthy players will play, No team is going to win in the playoffs if players are not playing competitive football for 3 weeks. If we get the bye, theres the rest week, if not, then maybe week 18. Kyles on record as being against resting for more than 2 weeks

Save TW for the playoffs, I expect him to miss time, and I would prefer him getting right, rather than rushing back for regular season

I agree with you, healthy players should play, that's why the BP benching was a lil eye brow raising,

What if I added "after getting blown out by the Ravens", how would you have felt then ?

If the cowboys beat the lions and eagles lose to the cardinals, do we still have to win both games to end the season?

No. If Eagles lose and Detroit loses, and we win. We clinch number 1 seed.

No. Just need to beat Washington if that happens.

I'm not sure. I'm hating this mentality that we are scared of the Rams. We need to face them head on and own that game. All these fans talking about "I hope the Rams secure a playoff spot so they rest players against us!" is a losers mentality. If we lose against the Commanders or Rams we don't deserve the #1 seed or SB. Great teams take one on the chin but respond with a left hook upper cut right jab combo

There is a good chance that the eagles and lions lose this weekend. Lions defense isn't all that great and I am sure the cowboys will be looking to bounce back. The eagles struggled against the giants and the cardinals HC knows the eagles offense better than anyone.

Who said I was scared of the rams? Our players need some extended time off. This team is banged up.

I still think they have a clear path to winning the NFC championship. But I wouldn't favor this team at all in a big game against the Bills, Ravens, or Browns. They will probably lose.

Maybe they can beat Miami. And that's only because Kyle is usually good in head to head matchups against his former assistants.

I wanna say yes because we'd have the head to head with Eagles and a better division record than the Lions have in the North.
