I think I mentioned his receiving out of the backfield was still a threat.

High volume carries in a 17 game seaon will get you 1000 yards, the 49ers are dead last in rushing yards a game. Mccaffrey is averaging 3.7 yards a carry that's below league average. 

His longest run on the second is 20 yards, whether thats due to the Oline or Mccaffrey slowing down the rushing yards are what they are. 

Dowdle has been pretty good in the passing game this season as well thus with him being the more effectic runner, it's a PUSH in my eyes. 

Of course Mccaffrey has proven to be the better player, but that's mean nothing Monday night.

It's the Panthers. In primetime. This is either going to go really well or really bad.

Didn’t cmc miss a game or at least play banged up? If so that’s impressive

Can we stop CMC? The Niners have been relying on him to provide offense.

The Niners pass rush is about as ineffective as ours. Can we take advantage?

Can we have some balance on offense? 150 yards in the air isn't going to do it at this point.

San Fran isn+7.5 and is getting heavy public betting. That means it will be a close game.

The only thing that would truly surprise me would be a Panthers blowout win. I think the likelihood of that happening is almost 0. So I think it goes one of three ways, and I think the Panthers can only win one of the three ways. 

Option 1: The 49ers win by 2+ scores in a game that is close at halftime but the 49ers run away with it in the second half. The Panthers running game produces early and help the Panthers take an early lead, but the 49ers focus on stopping Dowdle in the second half, while Bryce falters and is largely a non factor reverting back to the ineffective QB we’ve seen for most of his career. On defense, the Panthers poor tacking being the difference in the game. 49ers 38 Panthers 20

Option 2: Panthers win a gutty, low scoring, hard fought defensive game like the 2013 win in San Francisco which was a fantastic game if you enjoy defensive battles. Panthers defense rises to the occasion and shuts down Purdy and CMC and the game is a battle of field goals. Time of possession heavily favors the Panthers with both Hubbard and Dowdle getting 10+ touches. Bryce is clutch in the 4th quarter leading the team to another last second win. Panthers 19 49ers 16

Option 3 (and I think this is what Vegas is leaning towards): The 49ers win a back and forth high scoring game with the 49ers pulling out a last minute victory. There are good and bad moments for both teams, the defenses both force turnovers and the game is back and forth until the end. 49ers 27 Panthers 25

If this was a Sunday 4 o’clock game I would say Option 3 is most likely. Given the Panthers atrocious performances in prime time games in….really the entire history of the franchise, I think it’ll be Option 1. But I really hope they can keep the game low scoring and get a gutty win which would go a long way towards making the playoffs.

Chuba had some burst against the falcons and Rico is banged up. I think Chuba gets more run and gets in the end zone. Cmc also absolutely kills us through the air but is limited rushing. XL catches one long pass and drops 2 others. Ultimately I want us to look like we belong on the field and see if we can steal one late

The start of the 3 year run as nfcs champs really came in that niners game in 2013. We had toughness back then that I don't think we can duplicate with this roster but it is getting better. I would love another 16-13 win against a good team. Panthers football is defense and running game. Tepper wanted high flying offense and I thought I did too but after watching soft teams year after year it just ain't it. Give me TD dislocating his finger, popping it back in mid play and making a tackle. Hoping 2026 draft we look at tough defensive players and not RAS.

This means Vegas will want us to cover at the bare minimum. Refs should be on our side tonight.

Watch the coin toss to determine the outcome. Panthers are 6-0 when winning the coin toss and 0-5 when losing.
