Or respectability. 1.5 games separate the last place Seahawks from the 1st place Cards, so these division wins are very very important. Seattle isn’t anything resembling their old bad-ass selves, so the Niners need to take care of biz and stomp these guys. Beyond that, we are 2 wind behind the last WC spot held by the WashComs so winning the west would be our best path.

This seems to be the year of the injury, and we aren’t out of the woods on that count yet, as George Kittle has been battling a hamstring injury and is a game-time decision. He’s having his best season so far, and he usually gets himself out there. People are already calling him out, but we will see.

Seeing as Seattle sucks against the run, Shanny will likely come out throwing. Let’s hope this ins’t the case. Play both Mason and CMC. Mix shit up. Everything is too vanilla. I’m getting really pissed off as Shanahan’s lack of ability to score in the red zone, and his play calling in general. I do not understand the going away from misdirection plays and play action. These things work well but aren’t used enough.

No more Deebo up the middle.

And we all know about the defense. We should be showing a lot more 5 man fronts and causing more confusion up front. Nick Bosa is banged up, and the pressure is inconsistent at best. We don;t poressure enough so we aren’t getting the interceptions we should be. Deommodore Lenoir will be responsible for DK Metcalf, so that is the matchup to look at. They can’t run for shit, so force Geno to throw and blitz his ass.
