Early Vegas Line CAR @ SF

Recommended Posts

A little high IMO but whatever, a one score game says Vegas. FWIW, we were favored @Buffalo and @Arizona, and were underdogs to the Giants and @Minnesota. We have obviously blistered the spread the last 4 weeks. I wouldn't bet either way, but especially against us.

I love the Panthers but i'd be shocked if we come within a touchdown. This is a bad matchup for us, and San Fran is putting people away in the first half lately whereas we can only turn it on after halftime. I think it will be a 23-10 type game

 

Other than the packers which was their first game who have the 49ers beat? They've lost against the colts and the seahawks(which we were a deangelo fumble away from being beating by us).

 

These are the teams they have beaten

 

St.Louis(3-6)

Houston(2-6)

Arizona(4-4)

Titans(4-4)

Jacksonville(0-8)

 

This doesn't scare me and it shouldn't scare anyone on this forum. Are the niners a good team? Yes, but so are the panthers. We match up very well and the panthers can definitely get the win this upcoming sunday.

It's going to be a tough game, but SF doesn't scare me.  I think we match up pretty well against them.  The teams that worry me are the teams with surgeon QBs and we face three on the back half of our schedule - the Saints (x2) and the Pats.  Those are the games that worry me the most.  Brees and Brady are going to carve us up if we can't bring some serious pressure.

 

Looking at our remaining schedule, I see 4 must win games - the Dolphins, Bucs, Jets, and Falcons.  We simply cannot afford to lose any of those games.  We have to win the games we're supposed to win.  I'd be happy to split the remaining 4.  We do that and we end up 11-5 and are virtually guaranteed a playoff berth.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
