Zakk Wylde Card Weekend ! ! !

This is the 2nd season (3rd? I don’t know) of the new only-one-team-gets-a-bye-and-14-teams-get-into-the-playoffs format. The Niners definitely needed it last season as our 6th seed was sealed on the last day of the last game. We turned that into a near-Super Bowl (damn you, Jaquiski Tartt!) appearance.

This year after once again early struggles were followed by a 10 game winning streak. This garnered us the 2nd seed. Still and all, we play the first game of the SIX Wild Card Weekend slate of games. We even get a Monday Night game.

Here they are in all their glory. All times Pacific:

Saturday, Jan. 14

  • (7) Seahawks at (2) 49ers (-10), 1:30 p.m. (Fox) – We should walk all over Seattle.
  • (5) Chargers at (4) Jaguars (+1.5), 5:15 p.m. (NBC) – Chargers should easily take the Jags. Well, maybe not easily, but win.

Sunday, Jan. 15

  • (7) Dolphins at (2) Bills (-10), 10:00 am (CBS) – Bills over the Fins. Even with the spread.
  • (6) Giants at (3) Vikings (-3), 1:30 p.m. (Fox) – Giants get past the Vikings late.
  • (6) Ravens at (3) Bengals (-6.5), 5:15 p.m. (NBC) – Bengals take the Ravens

Monday, Jan. 16

  • (5) Cowboys at (4) Buccaneers (+3), 5:15 p.m. (ABC/ESPN) Bucs beat the Boys

    The D has not pressured Smith at all

  2. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    That’s more like it, take the 2nd half kickoff and March down the field! Kittle,Deebo,CMC getting it done 13 plays 75 yards burning over 7 minutes!
    Time for the Defense to step up and make a stop!
    Had Walker3 on my fantasy team, Damm good back! But it’s Metcalf getting loose that’s not good after getting shutdown the last 2 times that’s bothersome..

  3. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Whew, we needed that!!

  4. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    The O is getting into a rhythm

  5. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Purdy Great improvise right there by Brock for a much needed TD to Mitchell and an ice in his veins 2 point conversion to Kittle!!
    Read a stat where Purdy leads all QB’s with a 64% completion ratio for throws over 10 yards, now that’s a nice stat to own!!

  6. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    They should have two guys on Metcalf

  7. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Way to go Lenoir that’s stepping up jumping the route!
    49ers really came out of halftime and showing fire 🔥

  8. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    No points scored in the second half by Seattle?

  9. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Okay, offense and defense are playing like they should

  10. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    A gift TD to use up the clock.

    Amazing. At the beginning of the season we didn’t seem able to make adjustments but this whole 2nd half of the season we have been phenomenal at it. What a treat this game was. All the sweeter against Seattle.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Back from a friend’s house. Worried at the half with the stupid squib and the stupid penalty. D was unimpressive in the 1st half, but it all turned on Omenihu’s strip. 14 point swing there that got the defense going.

    Mooney had a terrible game, and Seattle had their way with us running and throwing quick passes in the 1st half.

    But, man my biggest knock early in the year was the inability to make 2nd half adjustments, and this team is now all about the 2nd half adjustments. DBs were all over the place today, but they came through in the end. Just hope Mooney Ward got his bad game out of his system.

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wow. 2 picks for Lawrence in the first 5 minutes.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    3 picks for Lawrence. Wow.

  15. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    4 picks!!!!!! Damn.

  16. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Geez I will eat crow believing Jaguars would beat Chargers! 24-0 and only getting worse.4 fucking interception by Lawrence he has turned into Nate Peterman
    This could turn into Georgia destroying TCU in the college championship game 62-7??

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jax playing like they don’t belong.

      Well, they don’t, really. Neither did the Titans, but someone had to “win” the AFC South….

  18. Barleyfreak's avatar Barleyfreak says:

    First playoff start comparison:

    Trevor Lawrence, 1st man drafted
    4 interceptions

    Brock Purdy, last man drafted
    4 touchdowns

    Sometimes there is real beauty in the world.

  19. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jax playing like they woke up.

  20. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Bosa’s offside may have doomed the Chargers.

    Now he gets an unsportsmanlike for yelling at the ref.

    Chargers reeling outscored 20-3 in the 2nd half.

  21. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Both these teams trading stupid plays. Would like to see SD advance mainly because they have been so snake bit over the years.

    If they choke away a 27 point lead, it’ll be the end of Staley.

  22. Berger's avatar Berger says:

    I don’t think Mooney was as bad as it looked. He got burned on a big one. To me, it looked like he was looking for a pick on a back shoulder throw. When the receiver is even, that is usually what comes. Seattle crossed him up. Outside of that play, he did OK. Yeah, he gave up some plays, but he took Metcalf single cover. That allowed us to roll assets to the other places. It’s why we go Mooney Ward. Metcalf did hurt us a bit but we completely neutralized Lockett, who usually hurts us.

    • Berger's avatar Berger says:

      I said that backwards, Mooney had a half a step, when he looked back, he lost that. He looked back because when the DB has a lead, the throw goes back shoulder. Of course, when he looked back, he lost his half step. They went against the norm and made a nice play.

  23. Berger's avatar Berger says:

    I don’t think we played terrible in the first half. I thought they played great. If not for Jimmy ward’s bonehead penalty, we have a lead at half, with them playing as well as they can.

    Having said that, we were a little off, but we didn’t play terrible. In the second half, they couldn’t keep it up and we stepped it up.

  24. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Joey Bosa coming unglued.

    • alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

      BOSA helmet slam was on the edge of the field of play he should have been tossed out!
      Maybe I don’t have to eat crow Jaguars are back in it and after that 2 point conversion only need a FG now for the lead and seal Staley fate as a HC!!

  25. Berger's avatar Berger says:

    I remember when we took a QB with the last pick in the draft, I thought, why? Lynch and Shanny said they drafted him because they thought he was a QB who has NFL ability.

    When I saw him in the pre-season I thought, this kid has the ‘it’ factor.

    Lance has more ability, but I have yet to see any ‘it’ factor from him. We are lucky to have Brock Purdy. I would guess he will be next year’s starter. For now, just win baby!

  26. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Unreal. Jax is gonna win after committing 5 turnovers in the 1st half!!

  27. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Jesus. The Chargers steal defeat from the jaws of victory. In the playoffs. Up 27-0. Given FIVE turnovers in the 1st half.

    One offsides call on Joy Bosa loses the game for the Chargers.

  28. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Willied…Yeah never a doubt for the Jaguars LOL 😂
    Blowing this game is the end for HC Brandon Staley!
    Chargers are just a choke artist team!

  29. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    If you look at the last 2-3 games the Niners defense and offense has been very average at best, then the second half it’s as if they realize they need to play
