Per Jared Feinberg, we'll likely go into this game with neither Trevin Wallace nor Christian Rozeboom, while facing Christian McCaffrey.

Not encouraging 😬

They can’t score if they are on the bench

offense and special teams will have to carry if they are to win

here’s hoping

im trying to have some, knowing better

I go into this one with fairly low expectations... but that isn't exactly a new thing 😕

Was just thinking about it, and the game Bryce just had was probably the absolute worst thing that could have happened for our chances in this upcoming game.

We beat the Packers for the same reason we lost to the Saints.  We didn't take the Saints seriously while looking ahead to the Falcons during the week and they took advantage of it, just as the Packers didn't take us seriously while looking ahead to the Eagles and we took advantage of it.

Bryce having that game just now put the 49ers on full alert this week in practice, combined with a MNF game where they don't want to get embarrassed by losing to the Panthers on that stage, and I think we're getting their absolute best this week.  It also doesn't help that the 49ers next 2 games are the Browns and Titans, so they certainly aren't looking ahead in their schedule this week.

I don't think we were looking ahead to the Falcons. I think it's even weirder - they just were so sure they'd arrived they didn't need to prepare for the Saints as hard.

I think it’s cool that no one can be really certain what the outcome will be.  That’s a lot of progress!

This is a real opportunity for us, I’d be happy with a competitive game and thrilled if we sack up for a W.

That is a good point there. We are getting what a lot of us felt was the minimum reasonable expectation. That we play competitively and we get some meaningful games in December. 
We may not be quite into being relevant in December but have a chance to be.  
 

And I say reasonable expectations as the bar for the franchise on a yearly basis. Not specifically this year, but all years.

Right now there are three west coast NFC teams in a 1-2 game window of winning the division or out of the playoffs. San Fran know this and are very unlikely to not give their best effort. I look for them to follow the Saints game plan in shutting down our running game but unlike Atlanta keeping a Defence lineman in front of BY. They may not get a sack, but if they induce BY back into the "bunny hop" throws, it may work better for them, IMO. SF 27 CAR 13

I think this team comes out and plays hard and we win a close one to put the league on notice that we are back to being relevant. 

I predict a score of 28-24 Panthers with a viral clip of Bryce Young hitting the Dab after a rushing TD. That clip then airs on every sports network for the next week till we get boat raced by the Rams.

Only saving solution to keeping CMC under his averages is

*BUT* then kittle is then breaking the single game TE records.....

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
