While most of y'all wanted to play GB, I was hoping we got the 49ers. The Packers can be explosive on offense, which is hard to defend for 60 mins. You can play am amazing game on defense and still lose after giving up a few big plays.

On the contrary, the 49ers are basically us, except one thing. Their QB can't read defenses. He can't hang in the pocket. He is a one read QB and our defense thrives in those conditions. The last time we played them he had under 100 yards passing, and SF didn't reach the endzone. That was the point where our defense really came into its own. I don't expect an ugly grind it out game. Honestly. I think we blow them out. The O has to take advance of the good field position the D will give them. If they do we are playing in Seattle next week (Saints have no shot). 31-13 Panthers. I ain't scurred.

I have confidence in the Panthers but my only concern is that this is the playoffs, it's a completely different level of play. The

 

49ers have the edge in playoff experience and that pays dividends however I am not writing the Panthers off because they beat

 

them once and they can do it again.

They aren't us. They have a true running game, an offensive line, and wrs

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
