So we have a pretty tough schedule for the remainder of the season.  I believe I saw where it's the toughest remaining schedule in the league.  To even think about the playoffs we IMO have to, at minimum, win three of the remaining six. 

49ers - We will have to play an amazing game to win this one.  We are down to backups at LB (at least for now) and Kittle is probably going to have a big day.  CMC must not go off on us.  PFF had a pregame analysis and actually the two guys running the show were split on who wins.  They even said it was disrespectful to the Panthers to be 7pt underdog.  Evero is going to have to have a great gameplan.   I'm on the fence but this game is in SF and I think we lose.

Rams - We're at home that is about the only advantage I see in this game.  LA is one of the best offenses in the league and I just don't think we have the firepower to beat them.  The only way we win is if we can control the clock and keep LA's offense off the field.

Saints - We have to go into this game on a mission.  WE HAVE TO WIN THIS GAME.  Hopefully, Canales has a better gameplan and we win.  This is a very winnable game.

TB x 2 - The only chance, IMO, of winning the NFCS is we have to win both games.  Many talking heads say TB is faltering some and can be had.  By week 15 and 17 we should be hitting on all cylinders.  If we win, it's going to have to be a pretty mistake free.

Seahawks - they have a very tough defense, and I think we get shut down.  Our only hope is to pressure Darnold into mistakes like he did this past weekend with 4 INTs.  As with the Rams we are going to have to keep this a low scoring game.

My hope is 

49ers- Win

Rams - Loss

Saints - Win

Bucs@Home - Win

Seattle - Loss

Bucs@TB - Loss

9-8 Record

My Fear

49ers-Loss

Rams-Loss

Saints-Win

Bucs@home - Loss

Seahawks - Loss

Bucs@TB - Loss

7-10 record

To me it isn’t even about the playoffs. If things go well, maybe the playoffs happen but it isn’t the primary goal for me.  

Getting proof one way or the other on this QB is the biggest prize we could win. If we don’t get that, we have a bad offseason coming up.

If history is any guide, whether it's a game or a season, Bryce turns it up a level towards the end. He's like Seabiscuit (an undersized racehorse, go figure); he just needs to be neck and neck with his opponent on the home stretch, and then he'll lead the team to victory. So if that's the kind of player he is, then he needs to over-perform now.

Setting franchise records is cool and all, but I think we all know he's not the kind of QB who's going to have us up by 2 or 3 scores at any point during the game. So if he's a closer, and that's his identity, then in order for Bryce to be considered our QB of the future, an outcome like your first scenario is what we have to see now.

It will be whatever it will be. We could very well go out and lose every single game down the stretch, we could go out and win every game too.

And it probably won’t be either.  It all goes to the QB question and our future, long term, for me. Over whether we get the honor of being Cinderella one and done.

This is what we have to know by the end of the season, playoffs be damned. If we offer a huge contract and Bryce turns back into a pumpkin, this franchise is set back another 4 years in our 7 year rebuild.

underrated part of games against west coast teams is they tend to struggle with 1pm east coast games

Yeah they obviously do. I wonder if the extra day helps us make that trip a little less taxing. 
We have been so routined into 1pm EST that an extra 8 hours before kickoff is a wild card too.

this team and this fanbase. If somehow we win, i think we split down the stretch.

We have NO LINEBACKERS against Kittle and CMC. Do we just put more defensive backs in? All their yardage is YAC. It's probably going to get ugly. we have to keep their offense off the field. 

There's a very good chance we lose out. Very good.

If we can't beat the Taints at home, we're not beating them in the dome.

Rams playing a 1pm game does help and i think we match up pretty well. I feel better about that game than I do about Monday Night.

We never beat the Bucs. The matchups just aren't there.

No chance against the Seachickens unless they don't need the game.

It's week 12 and we're talking about the playoff picture.  We've both over and under achieved this season already.  Beating Dallas was unexpected at the time it happened, certainly Green Bay and in general having a winning record this deep in.  We've also underachieved by losing to Arizona and New Orleans.  This team could very realistically had been 8-3 right now and probably should be.  If we can be the same type of up/down over the remaining schedule then we just might sneak in.  At minimum I just want to see us continue to be competitive and improving.

      Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
