Bucs are an ideal opponent in the first round to me

I agree

Yeah I want seeds #2 and #3 to win this weekend. I prefer the 49ers play the winner of PHI/TB, preferably PHI though. It was really fun watching the 49ers stomp on them earlier this season. Again plz.

i agree i want all the top seeds to win

i want to play TB/Phi

What do people think about packers?

I mean there is a legit chance packers beat the Cowboys and we play them as 7th seed. I havent caught too many of thier games but was surprised to see Love have 32 passing TDs which is second only to Dak

Of course we don't. We absolutely want GB to shock the world and beat Dallas. It'll throw their franchise into a tail spin, and we get GB next week while TB/Philly goes to Detroit.

GB arguably more dangerous than Philly or TB.

I'd still welcome it though because of how funny it would be to watch Dallas lose in R1.

Looks like Armstead wasn't lying. He will be back at practice this week according to Kyle. Jennings has cleared concussion protocol. Its time.

i forgot who it was but there was a tweet after he missed the first game if it was playoffs he was ready to play but they wanted to do some pain management stuff and preserve him

Great news. I was afraid AA would take all the rest days possible and be at 75% in the Divisional round. If he's going to be practicing this early, that means he no longer needs rest.

More good news.

I don't care who we play. This team should beat any of these NFC teams, even the rams. We easily ran the ball down the Ram's throats on those first two drives when the only defensive player they were missing was Donald (yes Donald is great but we have largely neutralized him in the past few meetings). The fact is that Purdy has a chance to makeup for the Raven's game by showing what he is made of. This is arguably the best 49er team since 1994, and we have had some damn good teams since then. If this team can't beat these imperfect NFC contenders then we don't deserve to go to the Superbowl. But we are going to smash these fools as we have done all year.

I don't really want to see them. They have been hot lately. They are young hungry team playing with house money right now and zero pressure. If they were coached by a slightly better offensive coordinator they'd be even more scary.

They have a young mobile qb with a good arm who doesnt have a lot of tape on him. This team has played all of these qbs before, except for Love.

And as much as Joe Barry defense has taken the heat for not stopping the run, they actually didn't allow more than 100 rushing yards their last four or five games

I'd rather play a much more predictable team like Bucs or Eagles. Eagles are on a down spiral and Bucs just don't have the talent to keep up with the Niners.

People keep saying he's great on special teams. And maybe I'm wrong but he never popped out on the film to me.

He's not a gunner, right? Like we used to have that tall WR from the Lions during the Harbaugh days, and Mostert as a gunner was special.

I'm glad he's healthy, but I don't understand the hype for this player.

I live right by Green Bay so hear and see a lot of them. They are a pretty inconsistent team, which probably comes with being one of the youngest teams. They have some good young receivers. Watson is dangerous and a big play threat. Defenses really have to respect his speed. Reed has been playing real well and Wicks has come on at the end of the year too so they have weapons. Aaron Jones looks back to his old self. Love has played a lot better the 2nd half of the season and it looks like they may actually have a good one.

Their defense has been all over the board and sometimes downright terrible. Jaire is back though which is huge.

I still think they match up well vs Dallas. Dallas has a great defense and an offense that is mostly Dak and CeeDee. If they can match up Jaire on CeeDee they maybe can at least limit them a bit. Tony Pollard is going to play a big role for Dallas I think. It may come down to if they can get Pollard going or not.

For the Packers matching up against us, I think it's a mismatch. We have too many weapons and our style of offense would eat their defense alive. Our run game has been much stronger than Dallas's

He is tied for 1st on the team in ST tackles and he missed 6 games.

I'll enjoy watching Love and Dak duke it out, should be a good one
