I hope they beatThe Falcons , even though they are part of the 3 teams I dislike the most (Broncos, Falcons, Seahawks) . If Atlanta wins, they would be  6-4 with only 1 NFC loss and looking at another Wild Card spot. 

I do too.  Hope they summon the ghosts of Seattle prime time bull$hit past, win one for the boys, then fall off a cliff.

Looking like a win for the Falcons

Hell at this rate it’s looking good for the 49ers next week.  Not kidding.  They easily coulda/shoulda/woulda beat the Hawks in Seattle early in the year, and I can definitely see a 49er victory at home after all this with the Hawks on a short week.

Some teams get lucky. Play Dallas with no Smith and no Elliott and now play Seattle with their secondary gone. Saints got GB the first week without Rodgers and won by 9. 

The real kick in the balls here is that us playing San Fran and Philly was our reward for sucking and their playing Dallas and Seattle was their punishment for winning last year.

Hope they at least pull one more out their ass against the Falcons.

I ain't wishing injuries on anyone and hate that happened to them but honestly, it's about fuging time some poo like this happens to Seattle.  Team has been consistently one of the most fortunate teams I've ever seen in my life... in basically all facets of football the past several years.  They've somehow managed to stay pretty damn healthy all these years.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
