🤔 Rest or Play vs Rams❓- Pregame Thread 2023 Season Wk 18 🐏💥

That shouldn't surprise anyone considering how McVay has traditionally treated the preseason. He doesn't believe playing in actual games is required to be sharp.
I'd say play for a few drives and thats it.
Are we going to find out Sunday night when we play in the Divisional round? Or do they wait until the end of wild card weekend to announce the divisional round schedule?

It might not be known until after mnf because the mnf winner can't play the following Saturday of course. Who knows!

There is no MNF during the final week of season.

Plan on Saturday in the late game slot.

There will be a playoff game on mnf though. Unknown which teams yet but if there's a possibility that one of those teams could play niners (example: mnf is #7 packers vs #2 cowboys), well niners would play lowest remaining seed so if packers won they'd play sf, but you can't make a mnf team play the next Saturday. So I think it's up in the air

Good point, my mistake.
CMC, AA, Brown, Ambry are already out and I bet Banks is too

Id sit:

offense:
Trent
Brock
Deebo
Kittle
Aiyuk

defense:
Bosa
Hargrave
Mooney
Fred
Dre

I don't want my QB going 3 weeks without playing. Niners are already getting a week off after this Sunday. It would be different if the team had nothing to play for but had a playoff game the following week. Then I would rest everyone if that was the case. I think the healthy starters should play the 1st half this Sunday. Then sit them.
IMO the Rams need that 6 seed if they wanna have a chance in the Wild Card. They'd have a good chance of beating the Lions but I think the Cowboys would whopp them

i want all the top seeds to win

okaying the Bucs is best case scenario for us in first round then play Cowboys/Lions

Deebo said its all hands on deck according to Kyle. The only exceptions would be those dealing with injuries.

And then the Cowboys/Lions hopefully have another tough fight against each other.

Considering that they don't have a first round bye it's not surprising. We have a first round bye. Completely different situations.

Well, he does have a Super Bowl Championship to show for it.
