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.
Forty Niners Forever 
That’s the achilles heel with the Wide-9 Chuck.
Susceptibility to interior running attacks.Hence my admiration for the Fat Men in the Middle who eat OLmen and keep their LBs clean.
Remove Kwon, add Russell/Carson and….it’s not an easy forecast.
Home crowd, returning pieces and MNF hype is going to help.
Ball control. Keep everything in front. Nothing over the top.
I like Greenlaw, I’m just afraid he’ll be schemed out of position. For whatever reason, we’ve been getting run on early. Thing is, we overcommit to the run, and you know Pete will take advantage.
Gonna be a fun one tonight.
We just have to control the ball and keep it out of Wilson’s hands. Jooz coming back will be a big help. Lots of screens, nickel and dime our way through the field. We have to keep our D fresh so Wilson’s on his heels all night. Not sure how we do it but I do think we win this one.
Looks like Kittle is out. E Sanders is worth every penny right now. All Dwelley has to do is catch the ball and we’ll be fine. Don’t try too hard and fumble. I’ve liked his game since we got him. And yeah, run the damn ball. The best way to stop Russell is keep him on the sidelines.
Looks like they might activate both Goodwin& Celek for the game.4WR’s set and some 3 TE sets as well depending on game situations..
You call this mayhem? Maybe at the retirement home where Chuck is nursing Coors all day, but compared to the superior blog that Skeebers runs this place is a ghost town. Damn, I almost fell asleep typing this. Five comments all day? ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Supremacy in the West on the line tonight!
Time for 49ers to finally open up a can of “WHOOP ASS “ on the Seahawks and blow their division wide open! Still will be a battle with Amazing QB Russell Wilson,WR’s Lockett,Metcalf,and now Gordon, with a stud Carson at RB, but their in are house on MNF and we have a few extra days of rest to boot,so Ipredict a 31-23 Niner victory!!
It is early, but they don’t look very good.
That was awesome
Nice slant run by Deebo for 30 yards!
Love to see this guy breakout with a huge game..
The WR’s are stepping up for Kittle
Great play call! Bourne wide open for 6!!
The start they needed to put extra pressure on Seattle…
Damm that front 4 just blew up Seattle’s line on the sack of Wilson!!
No huddle…no problem, a sack
SOB,
Back in the game on 1 play
Sure didn’t need that strip sack easy TD momentum changer before half..
Whoops
What a play by Tartt to strip Metcalf at the goal line and keep the lead..
Where’s that guy who said Jerry Jones paid off the refs last night? We’re making it up to you tonight in Santa Clara!
Failure to capitalize on turnovers and opportunities could kill us tonight. We’ve controlled much of the game but have only a field goal lead to show for it.
WTF, why challenge the spot, to me you are saying to your offense you can’t get 1 yard
Won the challenge but it doesn’t mean shit if you don’t get points.
Well that sucks
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
They need a play to slow the D down
Jimmy G has lost it! Is not handling the pressure at all!
This is turning into a fucking pile of dog shit!!
Our starting tackles are not able to block Clowney, and our backup WRs can’t catch the ball. Barring a major turnaround, we’re losing this one.
Jimmy G is getting schooled by R Wilson
Freakin Seattle is 26-15 lifetime against the 49ers, they obviously have our number which pisses me off bigtime!! Their my most hated team! But I truly respect Russell Wilson he is a special player and a MVP caliber player this year..
