I think the Rams are a much better team than Seattle and Stafford is way better than Darnold. Would love another shot at Seattle as we really beat ourselves that game. But we did beat the Rams… so, idk. Most likely reality is we continue our streak of winning and losing every other week. Beat the Bucs then get cooked by whoever in the playoffs.

Not a single productive veteran in the receiving core. 

It has haunted us all season.  

With Seattle's #1 defense in points allow, it showed.   

I know many thought we had a chance with Seattle, but I knew the only way we would,  is if we won the turnover battle,  and we certainly did not.  

This will haunt us in the playoffs too. 

Not that it'll last long for our Panthers

I could be mistaken but I believe the Rams are locked into the 6 seed. With a SF win, Seattle still has a game lead on the Rams. Seattle win, SF & Rams are tied in total record & division record [if Rams beat Cardinals], but SF has the better conference record.

Call me crazy but Seahawks. I thought we played horrible on offense yet still had a chance. 

This is my thinking as well.

Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers. 

I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win. 

Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend. 

If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.

I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

Give me the Seahawks. Rams will be dialed in and focused on us. 
 

Seahawks will be on their 3rd consecutive road trip including their 2nd to Charlotte in 3 weeks. I also think they will more likely to play down because they just beat us. Plus, I’d like to see Darnold have the playoff yips. Stafford don’t get those often.

This is my answer.

I don’t think we stand a chance against either, but I’d rather Seattle.

Rams 100%. Stafford looks old and/or hurt right now. Seahawks have always had the Panthers number. Panthers kinda historically own the Rams. 

The Rams suppoably have a good defense but their pass rush isnt very effective vs us (Verse and Young are power rushers)  

I don't get people wanting the Seahawks their defense is the worst possible matchup vs us.

Likely irrelevant.  Bryce may be due for a decent game but even if he pulls that off we still have to overcome poor in game adjustments, erratic bench decisions for timeouts/challenges, etc.  

My guess would be that we play the Bucs close and feel like we could/should have won but some of the same things that have plagued us all year will keep us from breaking .500.  Then, the Saints will complete their string on mainly only winning games that cause us grief.  

Bryce will likely have a decent enough game that we go with him again next year and then have a 2026 repeat of close to .500 record but unable to move forward to playoffs because we shoot ourselves in the foot.

If I had to "second guess" it would be that Tampa, like other teams have, will push us all over the field and it will never be close.  That may allow us to take a more careful look at the future but won't help us this year.

Seattle O and Rams O both had bad days against us.   It’s likely the next time we would see either we would face a version having better days than last time.  If either team has an actual good day (not great), they blow us out

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
