Once we have officially clinch the West. Do we start resting players? Or do we keep fighting for the #1 seed.
I think having home-field throughout the playoffs will be CRUCIAL, compared to traveling to Lambeau.
It's a little weird, but playing in Lambeau in January might be to our advantage. If it's snowing, windy, ect., the game might turn into a defensive run battle. We can beat GB in that type of game. I'm not saying we shouldn't go for the number one seed, it's just an interesting perspective.
It's very interesting, and it is starting to look like a win/win situation for the 49ers.
Either way the discussion is inevitable, we are already in the race as the pundits are starting to talk about 49ers vs Packers.
