Purdy bout to pad his MVP stats

He's at 3,553 yards 25 TD's hopefully he gets another 300 yard game. I'm predicting his final stats to be 4,500 yards 34 TD's.

That's what I've got him finishing at too. I'll probably be more focused on what he is after game #16 though, because my brain is so gauged for 16 game seasons rather than 17... a 16 game season with 4,300 yards and 30 tuddies? Someone pinch me I must be dreaming

I'm hoping he doesn't play the last game against the Rams because we would of already locked up the #1 seed by then. So his stats would look like a 16 game season.

If all four of them, particularly AA and Hargrave, are unable to go, it will level the table somewhat. Murray is already a handful trying to contain. Taking two key guys out of the DL rotation is not a good thing. We can't allow AZ to have many sustained drives with their running game and Murray.

This means we'll see a lot of James Conner on Sunday. Gonna be a long afternoon for the 9ers.

Meh, disagree. Even if the Niners had ALL backups playing on defense they win this game, just because their offense is so much better. Are you really worried about a shootout with the Cardinals? Not me.

AZ is 30th in run defense. 49ers can offensively play keep away with AZ, to limit Murray's offensive damage. But yeah, those missing guys is going to hurt the 49er defense for sure.

Agree, I think Kyler isn't 100% back yet. He's thrown 3 TDs and 2 interceptions, so that ratio isn't very good for him. Cardinals are (I think) 30th in passing and 9th in rushing, so if the 49er defense can stop the run, they shouldn't have too much difficulty in this game, as long as Purdy's doing his normal average performance.

I'll be at the game. Hopefully in a see of 49er fans. We wear red and blend in with the Cardinals fans? Blackout for another funeral?

I assume most of the fans will be 49er fans, although it will be hard to tell because of the similar colors. Have to go off the noise.

If Drew Lock can look like a world beater against us, albeit in spurts, then Kyler Murray has the potential to slice this defense up. We have, historically, struggled against mobile quarterbacks. And although Murray looks like a shell of himself, this might be his "getting right" party.

Hope we don't have a let down game

Good point. I can see ARI coming out on fire and jumping to an early lead, forcing the 49ers to have to make a comeback.

Have to come out with our 2 "go no where" drives to make sure we can come back from behind. CMC kind of screwed it up in the last game.

Walsh punch them in the mouth early in his script. Kyle setup bait for a counter punch.
