[aussiedude]

3 big games for the division and the whole Sunday afternoon slate is meaningless really. Going to be a whole lot of backups in those games

 

[Jack Mundy]

If San Fran get no. 1 seed cmc must be in MVP conservation

[exe ex machina]

That's an ominous coincidence. I was going to say the 49ers look good for a SB berth given the SB is at Levi Stadium, and if they get the #1 seed, a major advantage for them.

 

[satty]

Who ever is running fox sports will probably have destroyed their office by now .

They miss out on all 3 main games.

Would have thought they would be smart enough to have in their contract the ability to host atleast 1 division title game in week 18.

Especially if there are more than 2 in the final week.

Probably means that Fox get 2 games wildcard weekend now. With CBS, Prime, ESPN and NBC getting 1 each.

 

[satty]

Also credit to the 49ers staff for getting this team to where it is, in spite of not having bosa, warner on defense and having aiyuk in his Antonio Brown era.

Plus they also had Purdy miss a lot of games.

You can only beat who you go up against. They had a soft schedule tho, true. Maye is coming on strong. A reason to not write them off is if they get home field advantage. Vrabel is an astute HC too.

No way they getting home field. Chargers will play 2nd stringers

Man Steelers are so bad couldn’t even beat a sanders led browns. They are so one and done in playoffs again.

We won't even make it. Ravens will beat us.

 

[WAbulldog]

Them or Ravens are definitely making up the numbers this year.

 

[_Cerberus_]

Going to be an interesting playoffs. Really hard to read the AFC teams with up and down form. Leaning to one of the three NFC West teams getting up this year.

 

[exe ex machina]

imo, super bowl will come down to...

afc — patriots, jaguars, texans
nfc — 49ers, seahawks, rams

if i had to take a stab at it...

texans vs 49ers

Niners cant win it with no pass rush and that defense.

I too am warming to the Texans on the AFC side.

[satty]

The only issue with the Texans is I don't trust Stroud at the moment. Maybe he changes that in this post season.

 

[Brasher]

49ers will be wearing their rivalry uniform this game. Apologies for the player named but it is the only one still in stock. Not sure what to think of this until I see it live.
