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.

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
