Per J.Person. Rivera claims they looked outside the organization for a left tackle but couldn't find one that fits what they do. I have no idea what that means or what exactly they do, besides getting the QB smashed. Don't tell me there isn't one guy out there that "can't do what they do". Just a ludicrous statement. Also said that Amini would have played left tackle if healthy.....oh boy.

"couldn't find a Tackle that was good enough to play that wouldn't hurt the cap next season"

 

Not only that but there just aren't teams lining up to trade their starting tackles, and there aren't any teams with backups that should be starters. Tackles aren't a dime a dozen in this league. We really had no options other than the guys we have.

There isn't a guy out there we could've easily gotten, and have it being worth it, that's any better than Bell.

Running backs are a dime a dozen, and that's where our money is tied up.

Oh the irony.

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
