(unbiased opinion) Which NFC team has the best chance to knock off Seattle?

Okay so Seattle has pretty much locked up the #1 seed in the NFC.  The Saints and Panthers will likely get the #2 or #5 seed.  San Francisco will probably get the #6 seed after losing to both Carolina and the Saints.  The NFC North winner is looking like the Lions and the NFC East will either be the Eagles or Cowboys.  Which of these teams has the best chance to knock off the Seahawks in Seattle?

 

I honestly think San Francisco has the best chance to knock off Seattle at home, and from where they're probably going to end up in the playoffs, they'll have a chance to do it before the NFC Championship game.  They are very familiar with the Seahawks and already took a beating from them early in the year.  There's a trend of the regular season winner losing in the playoffs if teams meet again in the playoffs.  And now with Michael Crabtree back on offense, they have Kaepernick's favorite receiver back.  The 49ers have a chance to down the Seahawks in San Fran later this year.

 

So regardless of whether Carolina gets the #2 or #5 seed, if San Francisco ends up the #6 seed, they would play Seattle at home in the second round if they won in the first round (lowest remaining seed always plays the highest seed).  This would work out great in Carolina's favor.  That win over San Francisco was the biggest of the season so far, up until this Sunday.

 

Who do you think has the best chance to knock off Seattle?

Us.

 

Not even being a homer, and mostly the rest of America seems to feel the same from what I've been hearing from ESPN and NFLN.  We're more physical than the 49ers and Cam is a better version of Kap... he can also burn a defense with his legs/size/escapability combo like no other QB in the league if you let him.  For some reason we didn't seem to want to let him run at the beginning of the year.

us or the 49ers.

 

looking at their schedule, losing in san fran (just because it's a divisional game) is a real possibility as is losing to the giants in new jersey.

 

now you may laugh at that last one, but the giants are known for turning around a season and they've shown over the years that there's no team too big for them.

 

worst case, imo, they still end up losing only 3 games on the season and because they beat us in week one, even if we won out and had the same record as them, they would still get homefield advantage.

Detroit first. Us second.

no one else

 

Seattle would murder Detroit.  Schwartz is an idiot, Stafford is a turnover machine, and they have no defensive talent outside of their front four (the back seven is terrible). Advanced metrics rank them as a middling offense (basically Stafford to Megatron chucks and an occasional Reggie Bush big game) and a bottom ten defense.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
