We all know the track record, we all know the frustration, we all know the ramifications of this game. To add to all that, Seattle is banged up and they have been fairly inconsistent, and have won a lot of close games. We of course are beat up on out D line and have been fairly inconsistent ourselves.
I have no idea how this game goes, but what we REALLY need to be aware of is misdirection plays, rollouts, and screens. Starting with Lamar Jackson, we have been getting burned relentlessly by our DEs not setting the edge and staying in their assigned lanes. They crash the middle on fakes and leave the edges wide open for rollouts, scrambles, and screens. I mean, fuck, Matt Ryan and Jared Goff faked us out on plays like that.
Russell Wilson will eat us alive if we don’t stay at home. This is my biggest worry tonight. If we don’t defend well, we can’t win. Not up there. Again, this game will be won by protecting Jimmy and pressuring RW.
Pete trying to give Lynch his redemption ends up backfiring on him with the delay of game.
Huge deal.
# 57 for the goal line stand!!!!!!!! 26-21! Same score same goal line play.
Not bad for a rookie fifth round pick.
can finally kick that monkey to the curb. To win the game like that especially in fucking Seattle is like sticking a dagger right down their throats.
Loved Greenlaw just watching him in the preseason. Dude is FAST.
I bet we get picked for the espn tv show next year. there are a few teams that they could pick besides us but next pre-season i bet we get the disruption. I think we were 13-3 in 81 also.
Peter King rolls out the praise train….Posting 49ers only 😀
Offensive Players of the Week
Deebo Samuel, wide receiver, San Francisco. Backed up in their territory late in the first quarter of game 256 Sunday night, the 49ers got two huge plays from the rookie receiver from South Carolina. Samuel took a pass from Jimmy Garoppolo and sped 30 yards up the middle to get the Niners to midfield. Three plays later, from the Seattle 30-yard line, Samuel took a pitch around left end and stayed in microscopically on the left sideline, scoring on a 30-yard run. Samuel, at 6-0 and 208, is bigger than a smurfy guy, but he has the moves of a scatback and showed them in the NFC West championship game. For the game, Samuel finished with 135 total yards and the rushing touchdown.
Defensive Players of the Week
Dre Greenlaw, linebacker, San Francisco. The rookie from Arkansas made the play of his life when his team needed it the most. On fourth and goal with 12 seconds left, Seahawks tight end Jacob Hollister caught the ball at the 1-yard line and turned to find the end zone. Instead, he found Greenlaw’s right shoulder. The 2019 fifth-round pick buried Hollister, who fell an inch shy of the goal line. Greenlaw finished the game with 13 tackles, and his last gave the 49ers the NFC’s top seed.
Nice!
