Scenario for the #2 seed

By the way, the 49ers, who lost close games to start the year in every way, shape, and form, have won 3 straight with Jimmy G at QB.

They would LOVE ruining things against the old nemesis Rams in the finale.

I do not like anything about the Titans but they truly have NO balls if they can’t beat the young Rams at home in a 10 am pst start after being punked in recent weeks with the playoffs on the line.

I feel decent/good about the Packers at home and Falcons away this week.

If not this week, I can’t see how the Bears win in Minnesota but could see the Bucs beating the Saints in Tampa.

Titans actually have a lot to play for. They are a fringe playoff team and they've recently been on a slide losing to teams they really should've beaten. I don't think they're anywhere near as good as the Rams but I think they'll at least give them a run for their money and play alot better than they have been.

So, this week I'm pulling for:

Titans over the Rams

GB over the Vikes (we own the tie breaker)

ATL over NO

and obviously the Panthers!

...got it!

Only thing I change is Aints and Falcons tie. Unlikely but that’s ideal.

I can’t remember where I heard it, but I remember an analyst last year saying “You can’t win a playoff spot early in the season, but you can lose one.” I know that we will probably make the playoffs, but it’s around this time of year that you realize those Philly and Chicago Losses really bit us in the ass. If we would’ve beaten Chicago we would be the number 2 seed, had we beaten Philly, we’d be the number 1.

It’s not all that implausible that we get the #2 seed. Certainly unlikely but not a huge long shot. Honestly though, look at the recent playoff experience of the other expected playoff teams. Most have essentially none while we have a lot.

Eagles without Wentz are not a real threat to us.

Rams are young and extremely predictable to go one and done in the playoffs (similar to us in ‘13 maybe).

Vikings are solid but have just one playoff game (loss against Seattle) in the last 4 years and that was Teddy not Keenum at QB, plus we already beat them.

Aints have no playoff experience since 2013, though Brees and Payton obviously had some before then.

Then the 6 seed will be Falcons, Lions, Seahawks or Cowboys probably and while all have some recent playoff experience none of these teams is really that good and we’d be at home against them.

 

Once we guarantee a spot with a win next week I feel very good about our chances in the playoffs regardless of our seeding.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
