So...thanks for helping as best you could! Well, at least something decent came out of that dumpster fire of a game last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49ersfan Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) So Vikings are locked into the 6th seed. Best they can do is 11-5. If SEA wins they're 12-4, ties they're 11-4-1, loses they're 11-5. So they'll either have a better record or the tiebreaker. Niners are 12-3 and can't be caught by the 10-5 vikings. As far as the Eagles/Cowboys go....if we're facing them, we want the weaker opponent. If we're not, we want the Seahawks to have the stronger opponent. Its one game and anything can happen, but i think we can beat both. So for week 17, i'm not concerned with the Vikings, or the winner of the NFCE (Eagles/Cowboys) Most likely we win and are #1, or lose and are #5. There's also a small possibility we tie with Seattle, go 12-3-1, and win the division. If GB/NO both win they would be 13-3, which means we'd be the #3 seed and face the Vikings at home on WC weekend. If GB/NO both lose and are 12-4, at 12-3-1 we'd be the #1 seed. If we lose and are 12-4 we're the #5 seed. If we win than we're #1, simple So even though a tie is a small possibility...to cover all our bases we should root for the Panthers over Saints and Lions over Packers. NO/GB are on the road and week 17 with nothing to lose, both the Panthers/Lions might pull out all their tricks. But its likely both the Saints/Packers win Of course if we win Sunday....we don't have to worry about anyone else.

Dub_City30 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Quick question and off topic im having a debate on twitter on what means to streatch the field. Is streatching a field top to bottom or side to side, I see it as someone who could take the top of the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's referring to taking the top off the defense in order to back up the safeties and open up the middle of the field. However, it is equally important to hit the outs and sidelines, otherwise you are facing a lot more defensive players in a congested part of the field. An example of the importance of hitting outs and sidelines is what happened to Rapp on the 3rd and 16 bomb to Sanders. However, the phrase 'stretch the field' is referring to length, not width.

I said on the podcast that we were locked into either the #1 or #5 seed, but I completely forgot to factor in the possibility of a tie. This is great additional info I hadn't considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes even less sense to me. It's an in-breaking route into the teeth of the defense. It'd be one thing to consider an out or corner route, but a slant? A slant becomes available AFTER you've stretched the field and backed up the safeties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him Deebo is a solid #2 who doesnt streatch the field then tells me a slant route is streatching the field lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Stretching the field to me is mainly throwing it past 20 or so yards, but isn't just that alone. It is using the entire field including the perimeter and can't just be using the middle of the field only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How has he not? 4th most receiving yards as a rookie in team history (12 yards from #2). Over 800 yards from scrimmage and 5 TDs in a very complicated offense that is notoriously tough on rookies. I'd say that is good reason to slot him as a solid #2. Unless you are implying that he can still become a #1 in the future so it's too early to label him a #2. In that case, I agree. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he is referring to the latter and thinks it is too early to say Deebo is only a #2. And I also agree with that. He cleans up his drops then no reason he cannot be a #1 going forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4L Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thinking about Marshawn lynch and how he helps them... its in pass protection. Their OL is crap. He is big and strong but his cardio probably isn't where it needs to be. Running him a lot will wear him in out, but having him pass block where he can be mostly stationary and use his size/strength wouldn't do that as much. That's where running back injuries hurt you the most, pass protection. Its easy to find someone to come carry the ball but having a RB you trust to come pick up blitzes is something else. So, with that being said, if I was seattle I would put lynch in play #1, go play action and throw the ball deep to Metcalf on the left side against spoon. everyone would be expecting the run with lynch in there. I am also very worried about the bubble screen game to Metcalf against spoon considering how horrible he is at tackling. Metcalf has his warts, but he is a very good deep threat and is big/strong and is therefore a good person to throw bubble screens to against a corner who cant tackle. would be an easy 5+ yards every time.
