Can't wait to watch the broadcast team try and build this up as a redemption/revenge game. At least we can see the Aiyuk catch over/under 3.5 times.

lol true.

We need that 11th draft pick. Please TANK. Why play hard now when the team has already established itself as a bunch of undisciplined bad players?

Self interest and grab that 11th pick!!!

People were saying the same thing about the Eagles last season. Look at them now. Pretty much the same team.

I give us a 5% chance of winning, but I honestly wouldn't be mad if we somehow did. We're not talking about the difference between #8 overall and #2 overall in the draft like in 2018. We're talking about the difference between #15 and #11. That's pretty much a common scouting error difference.

Beating a legitimate contender right before the season ends is much more valuable to this team right now than 3-4 mid-round draft slots, even if it's highly unlikely.

I'm not going to root for an L. I "cautiously" rooted for L's in 2018 and 2020 but after how hard it nipped us in the butt in 2020 it's just not worth rooting for L's unless there's a SURE THING sitting at #1/#2 overall and you need the L to get it. Even then, look how far along the Texans have come compared to the Bears after the Texans won that meaningless Week 18 game a couple seasons ago. I highly doubt the Texans fans would change a thing even though they were ticked about the win at the time!

The Eagles are the only thing giving me hope honestly.

Turning it around after a massive Super Bowl hangover is difficult but they've proven it can be done.

Lions: 31
49ers: 28

49ers miss a chance to tie the game late on yet another blown FGA.

Lions 34
Niners 16
I don't expect much from our offense in the way of points if the past few games are any indication of the lack of talent and discipline we're seeing.
Could get nice numbers out of Brock between the 20's but breakdowns will continue to end otherwise promising drives.

The Eagles got wise and upgraded the OL and defensive coordinator. Hopefully the Niners will follow that blueprint

Bad luck, really. CMC essentially missed the entire season. Deebo had a horrible year. Aiyuk wasn't ready and then he got hurt. Trent Williams also was not nearly as effective and he got hurt.

Defense had similar issues. Warner has been playing on a fractured foot all season. Hargrave got hurt early. Bosa got hurt and missed time. Greenlaw just was never ready. Neither was Hufanga.

The good news is most of these guys should be back next season. That is a lot of talent that missed a ton of time or the entire year.

you never know.. we had some zone experts saying to bet the house on Chicago

Because the Vikings won, our game tomorrow is meaningless to Detroit. The only result that can happen from tomorrow's game is we win and lose our 11th round draft pick to select an offensive lineman.

TANK!!!

Plenty of good tackles in the first and second rounds. Plenty of very good guards in the third and fourth rounds.

The real question is: Can the brain trust pick the right guys? Puni appears to be the real deal. But this team has swung and missed with a few others.

This team needs the spirit of Monte Clark to run through the mind of Kyle Shanahan. He could find them.

Eagles have the better offensive line not the same team
