Here we are on the brink of another wild weekend of football. This means so much more now that we are back in the playoffs after a 5 year absence. Here’s the schedule:
Saturday, Jan. 11
No. 6 Vikings at No. 1 49ers, 1:35 p.m. PT (NBC, stream on fuboTV here)
No. 6 Titans at No. 1 Ravens, 5:15 p.m. ET (CBS, stream on CBS All Access here)
Sunday, Jan. 12
No. 4 Texans at No. 2 Chiefs, 12:05 p.m. PT (CBS, stream on CBS All Access here)
No. 5 Seahawks at No. 2 Packers, 3:40 p.m. PT (Fox, stream on fuboTV here)
Minnesota gets the shortest end of the stick as they played last Sunday, have only 5 days to get ready, and they fly west to kill most of a day. They also have the disadvantage of being a dome team playing outside. Minn was 4-4 on the road, but all 4 losses came outdoors. They beat the Giants, Deetroit, Dallas, and the Chargers. 2 outdoor teams (NYG, Bolts) with a combined record of 9-23. So, there’s that.
The rest? We’ll see. Seattle I think is the class of the rest of the NFC. Maybe it’s just the way we kicked their ass, but I don’t see them taking Seattle. Rodgers looks skittish when pressure, and they can go south in a hurry. Hawks 24 – GB 17.
Ravens and Chiefs should roll. Balt 31 – Tenn 14 . . . . . . . . Chiefs 35 – Texans 20.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
Pretty sure our game is gonna be another down to the wire nailbiter. It’s just what we do. We play a clean game we probably got em. We make mistakes probably not. In a perfect world I would like to see us and KC in the big show I think that would be a hellova game.
If we play defense like we should, I don’t think we’ll have too much of an issue with these guys.
They lost to most of the tough teams they faced. Except last week of course. Outdoors, short week, 5 hour travel . . .
That’s why they play the game though.
And we are getting a little bit healthy. Hope to see Earl Mitchell in there.
And I think we win 30-20.
38 years ago today . . .
Where were you? I was back at home, sick as a dog, watching on the couch as a bunch of friends went to the game.
Well I am just gonna hang out on the couch today since I came down with something two days ago.
Man, everyone is sick around me. At home and at work. Been dosing heavily on the Vitamin C
Robert Saleh not taking the Browns job (no shit) and will remain our DC.

Food for thought:
Kirk Cousin Career Stats:
Record in the playoffs: 1-2
Record In Primetime Games: 5-16🙈
Record vs Winning Teams: 5-29 🙈
Record vs Winning Teams This Year: 1-5 🙈
Career Road Record: 17-27-2 🙈
Career Record On Monday Night Football: 0-9 🙈
Then again, he was on the Redskins for a long time.
Man it’s good to be back in the playoffs!
Its buzzing here today. Looking forward to a win and losing my voice again.
Go Niners!!!
NFL Network reports that Dee Ford will be activated today!
The Niners will rock ‘n’ roll. On Kirk Cousins’ head. 31-20.
Alexander, Tartt and Person are playing, just waiting on news of Dee Ford, squad is close to full strength. Rust is a concern but their backups are very capable.
And there it is, thx RT!
Theirs only 2 black Head coaches in football,Tomlin&Lynn so it’s the usual lip service Rooney rule that teams have to oblige too in coaching interviews.Easy to see why Saleh would pass in the world of Good Old Boys owners, who would rather stick to established over the hill coaches,are trying to hit on the next hot shot college coach..
49 Inactives (just announced):
QB C.J. Beathard
RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
WR Jordan Matthews
TE Daniel Helm
DL Kevin Givens
CB Dontae Johnson
LB Azeez Al-Shaair
Here we go, let’s go Niners
Wow Jimmy GGGG
Coming out on 🔥! JimmyG carving up the Vikings secondary!
WTF was that, 3 and out the first D series, and then you give up a bomb??
Witherspoon had position and tripped.
Jimmy with the horrible pass. Got the sack though. Stopped them up close.
its gonna come down to the wire, the Vikings came to play
Sherman great pick on a shit Cousins throw.
49ers finally wised up, looks like they benched Witherspoon for Moseley and it’s already paying off!
Niners OLine ruling
I want Another score to completely put this game away
Me too. Shanny’s playing the clock.
Absolutely dominant on both lines.
Only bad game was Witherspoon. And to some extent Jimmy. But we did not really need to pass today. Garoppolo will need to play better next week, though.
Wow, they just took it too em in the second half. What a great game
183 rushing yards to 25, The D dominated
Overall a dominating performance especially once Shanny benched Witherspoon for Moseley.No way Moseley won’t start over him next week..
I gave Minn too much credit. Everything Minn threw, but the one TD, was underneath. Ford and Alexander are so essential to our overall defense, and it showed in spades today. Our speed now is off the charts. I feel bad for Witherspoon. He is a talent, but man, when he misses, he misses bad. That shoulda been a pick and he gives up the only TD. Moeley should start next week, but it’s always nice to hasve a guy like him in your back pocket.
The entire D line was phenomenal. Cook had 1 yard rushing in the 2nd half I think. 9 rushes, 18 yards? FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit. Tenn and Tannehill is killing it!!!!!
Jimmy got his playoff legs today. His first drive was perfection. The rest of the game was all about the run. We came out of the game unscathed, so that is huge. I like us against Seattle or GB.
I wonder if Seattle cam pull of another road playoff win. If so, they need to do it 3 times here. I don’t see that happening.
I just read something about GB players having the flu. I don’t see how anyone can play with the flu
The Seahawks have lost 8 straight at Lambeau.
Also, the record for fewest first downs allowed in the playoffs since the NFL/AFL merger in 1970 is 6. The Vikings got their 7th with 1:40 left in the 4th quarter (Frank Schwab).
Does Balt whine on every play?
I’m really digging the 4th down stuffs.
That was something! Henry to Davis!!!
Yeah just before the snap I see Tannehill on the sidelines and they pan back to the snap and their is Henry in the shotgun, I thought he was going to run it like a wildcat, but nooo jump pass!!
Didn’t see this coming, I was talking to a buddy who wanted to know what was up with Tannehill. I said he was a good QB on a horrible Dolphin team. He’s now taking advantage of a good situation.
Didn’t think he would be this good though.
Shit, this ain’t over.
Now it’s over.
Titans opened some eyes tonight…
Tennessee!,
Baltimore right now, tonight is San Francisco, January 9, 1988.
Lot of stunned fans.
Yup. Balt wasn’t rusty. Tenn isn’t a battle-tested perennial playoff team. They just beat the shit out of the Ravens.
Now it is. Funny thing is, there was so much talk about the Vikings beating the Niners, but nothing about Tenn beating the Ravens.
My two biggest worries in these playoffs were New Orleans, Balt, and Seattle. Two down, one to go.
Russel Wilson has such a history with us that no matter what the situation is I get worried.
Glad Balt. got beat hopefully the Titans exposed Jackson’s game. But I think it was more the injuries to Ingram and their TE. Don’t really give a fuck but I am glad that we won’t see Balt in the SB just in case we get there.
Yup. I’m with you there. It would be wholly satisfying to stomp them here, but then again, the path of lesser resistance would be Green Bay. RW just scares the shit out of me. As MVPs go, the guy most important to the state of his team is Russell Wilson in a landslide. They would be 4-12 without him.
New thread is up.
