J-ALL-DAY Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Just now, Forge said: His brain just short circuits too much and he's very careless He's just not a NFL caliber starter. Okay in back up duty but way too flawed and a very slow processor. If he sees it and the first read is there, then he can rip it with the best of them. The problem is, that doesn't always happen and then you see his indecisiveness on full display. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFL Network Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 3 hours ago, 757-NINER said: Even though the game was meaningless, it irks me that we lost. Back-ups or not, our run defense is leaky af and that is my biggest concern heading into the playoffs. If teams can rush for 4-5 yards on first & second down at will, we're in big trouble. I don't want us in a position where we have to outscore teams consistently, as our offense stalls at certain points in every game. We don't do well in scenarios where we're behind, especially in the second half of games so the defense has to do it's part in keeping opposing offenses at bay in those instances. Also the fact that we can't get to the QB consistently rushing four is a big red flag imo. The defensive scheme was built around that fact and if we have to bring an extra rusher on third manageable repeatedly, we're exposing our weaknesses from a coverage standpoint. They have a week to cleam up some things but the defense as a whole has me concerned at the moment. Yes I agree the main issue for the Niners heading into the playoffs is the defensive side of the ball as they can't stop anyone unless they get the turnovers. How many punts did they force yesterday? Even when the games were not meaningless they still hardly forced any punts. In the NFC the Cowboys, Rams & Packers can all hurt the Niners and are more than capable of coming to town an pulling the upset as all 3 of those teams have a QB that can put points on the Niners defense. As far a SB opponent goes the Niners will not beat the Ravens or Bills in a SB as both Lamar & Josh Allen will carve up this Niners defense and that's the end of story. Yes I also agree the Niners need a kicker if the game comes down to a final kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFL Network Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 29 minutes ago, J-ALL-DAY said: The thing with the Rams is despite how great they look in games, they find ways to allow other teams to hang around. I just think the Lions, playing at home will be able to hang in there and then eventually take the late lead and hold on to win. Will be a good game but the Lions pull it off. I see the Cowboys handling the Packers well at home. So we have to wait until Monday night to see who we play between the Bucs and Eagles. I don't like that since we won't have an extra day of rest for the NGCCG, should we make it there. I don't foresee any upsets. Our road to the SB will be Eagles/Cowboys/Ravens. I'm assuming you're gonna predict a playoff win for each game just like you did for every regular season game I suppose. If it's Niners vs Ravens or Bills I'm not taking the Niners with a 10 foot pole. I don't even trust the Niners against the Cowboys. The Rams & Packers scare the Niners as well. This isn't 1989 or 1994 Niners that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm just getting fooled by the small sample back half of the season Yes I agree Rams over Lions as Lions are the NFC's version of the Dolphins as just a bunch of pretenders. I also take Bucs over Eagles since the Eagles are broken. I'd love for the Niners to draw the Eagles in the divisional round and Lions in the NFC title game. Only the Cowboys, Rams & Packers have what it takes to come in and beat the Niners at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just because Mac is a bad QB, but mainly because he seems to be a pretty awful person. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49ersfan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I could see our QB room being Purdy, Brandon Allen & a rookie If we trade for someone I'd rather have Davis Mills then Mac. I also wonder if there are any burned bridges from how the 2021 draft played out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He costs 2.7 million, Shanny clearly liked him and I think that matters. I don't think Shanny is going to change his mind based on the New England tenure. I think maybe they send like a 2025 6th round pick or something to New England for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favoring the Ravens over us slightly at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't 1989 or 1994 Niners that's for sure. I'm one of the hardest people on the team in this forum. Prone to over concern regarding aspects of the team, negative mindsets, etc. I will absolutely be picking the 49ers against every possible NFC team they could face. I've said it before - they are clearly the best team in the NFC, so if they don't get to the super bowl, it's a pretty epic failure. I will also probably pick them against every AFC team not named the Ravens (have to give Baltimore some credit), though I think that game is much closer to being a tossup despite the *** whooping they laid on the niners just weeks ago.

You just have to give the Ravens their respect for coming into our place and giving us a beat down. But you can also acknowledge that the offense had little problems moving the ball and a few of the INTs were unfortunate. It's going to be a very hard game but a winnable game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll mostly be about Goff keeping the turnover sheet clean and whether not the Lions can run. The Rams are going to light up the scoreboard imo, so I think that they have to be able to keep pace and that is where I'm worried about Goff. So if they can successfully run the ball consistently, they'll shorten the game and lessen the possessions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
