Monday Night Mayhem

Crazy day in the NFL, settled with a lovely Dallas loss to go withthe Rams loss, and AZ to boot. Really though, who looks great in the NFC? N’Awlins scores 9 and gives up 26 against 2-7 Atlanta? Packers struggle at home vs the 5-4 Panthers? Rams score 0 offensive TDs vs Pittsburgh and loses?

I’m liking this season more and more. Especially if we can remove the hold that Seattle has on us. A win tomorrow would put us 2.5 games up on Seattle and 4 games over the Rams. A loss? Well, not the end of the world, but it would drag us closer to the fair-to-middling rest of the NFL. Dallas and Philly lead the NFC East at 5-4. The Packers, Vikes, and Saints all look fairly flawed, as they all struggled this week.

Seattle, for all their recent success, are looking as good as the rest of the NFL, but not quite as solid as us on both sides of the ball. Our defense has been lights-out with our newly discovered pass rush. But, the X factor by far is Russell Wilson. He’s putting together an MVP season as he wills this fairly middling Seahawk team to victories week after week. I guarantee just about any other QB has this team at 4-5, not 7-2. He’s uncanny accurate on the run, he eludes the pass rush better than most, and he makes big plays all day.

Coverage is hard to come by 10 seconds after the snap, and Russell extends plays like that all the time. Chris Carson is nothing to sneeze at either. At 5’11” and 225, he’s no wall flower. He averages 4.4 yards a run, and I suspect they will try like hell to run on us. If they can go play-action,they have a huge advantage. Lockett and Metcalf are a solid pair of wideouts as well. So, we NEED to stop their run game early.

Gonna be a hard-fought game, and as Monday night games go, this is a big one. One that may even live up to the hype. Biggest game at Levi’s? Sure.

I think we run on them pretty hard, and win the battle of the trenches. Some play action big plays as well. We’ve got both our tackles back, and we have our Juicebox back as well. I think we outlast and outscore Seattle 34 – 27.

    Jimmy puts the ball right in Deebo’s hands. And he can’t catch it. We’re snakebit tonight.

    Without Sanders the rest of the receivers are running scared 😱 Bourne&Samuel missing catchable balls, one for a pick, one a big gainer..

  3. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Back in it after that strip sack TD Buckner ran in!
    21-18 and plenty of time..

  4. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    About time Deebo makes a play!!!

  5. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Bourne with another drop that probably cost us a chance to take the lead. Almost an INT.

  6. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    WR’s should be embarrassed with there missed catches, Jimmy has hit their hands like he should. J Rice is cringing!

  7. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Going to be a gut check ending. We may need another big defensive play to pull this out.

  8. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Good job by the rook FG kicker in a first and only start banging in 2!!
    Bourne needs a new identity after this game!
    2 big drops!!

  9. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Losing by 3 will just plain suck

  10. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Jimmy need to run the ball

  11. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Clutch Kick!!How about that Rookie!!!!
    Chase McGlauin your the man!!

  12. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Yeah Baby what a play by Greenlaw to save their bacon 🥓

  13. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Jesus that was not the time to turn into Steve Miss a-Mile 😱

  14. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    The snap looked hinky to me on the FG. Might cost us the game.

  15. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Poor clock management is going to cost us the game. Should have ran it out and taken the tie.

  16. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    The Niners need WR’s, Jimmy struggled at times but the WR dripped way to many passes!!!

  17. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Samuel caught 8 of 11 targeted to him. Bourne only 4 of 8. Pettis and Goodwin BOTH 0 for 3. Ballgame.

  18. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Grumpy, the snap was ok even got the laces turned the moment just got to big for the kid and he just shanked it.. Give him credit though for sending the game into OT atleast and he did nail 3 FG’s just needed the 4th one to have had a memorable night..

  19. rtfirefly's avatar rtfirefly says:

    OK I can post again. I wasn’t going to jinx our streak.

    No more politics or history or whatever the frell I keep going on about.

    We’re still 8-1

  20. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    It looked to me like the side was off to the side, into Wishnowsky, just enough to slow the placedown and mess with the timing. But it’s hard to tell from a quick look.

  21. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Jimmy G looked far like an elite QB like Wilson!
    Yeah their were some dropped balls and then their was throws to high, not in front of a receiver, are Twice that should of been intercepted, just an overall not ready for postseason performance…

  22. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    KS should have run the clock out and not given Wilson one last chance. A tie would have left us two games up, now it’s only one. Deep in your own end, it’s better to take the tie there than give the ball up after three incompletions.

  23. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    The defense played well enough to win. The offense just did not get it done. Can’t keep giving the ball to a guy like Wilson and expect to win.

    • Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

      Who was suppose to be the SPY to make sure Wilson didn’t run. That last 21 yard run should not have happened

  24. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    Looks like we are not quite ready for prime time. A definite reality check.

  25. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    As bad as we played at times, and despite everything, ic that fucking FG and we win. Its the curse of Robbie Gould.
