Week 17 San Francisco 49ers vs Detroit Lions

Anyone find it interesting that this game wasn't flexed out of MNF?

As if they just want to showcase the 49ers getting their asses kicked for America.

I thought they wanted competitive contests with playoff implications in prime time, such as GB @ Min.

Whoops. Even worse. I'll correct it.

Can Monday night games even be flexed?
I'm asking because I honestly don't know.

So another game another blowout… just hoping we keep the lions under 50… I think Detroit will hyped for this one. It could get ugly very very ugly.

Winning this game at home can go a long ways toward next year's confidence. It's a long shot, and Cambell will try and run up the score, but it would be fun to win.

I thought they left the last few weeks open to adjusting the schedule. Especially if it's a matchup without substantial playoff ramifications.

We still have talent on this team... let's see if little kyle comes out of his safe space.

This one should be pretty ugly. We need the losses for a higher draft pick and I think we will get it. Incidentally I don't think we can do much better than 11th pick overall. It comes down to a bunch of teams who are nearly hopeless. Who have 4 wins. They need to win 2 more times (extremely unlikely). Then it comes down to tiebreakers like strength of schedule, division, conference and so on. Just a basic look I don't think there are a lot of favorable strength of schedule ones for us. Plus those hopeless teams have to win 2. I think mathematically you could be looking at #'s 8, 9, 10, 11 overall pick. But realistically because those teams can't win and are such clunkers you are looking strongly at #11. Assuming we lose out. Which we are real capable of.

We're cooked

Unfortunately, I think this will be a complete blowout. The season is finally almost over though.

Brock will have a chance to win it, but force it to Jennings for an INT for the 3rd straight time
