Post Game Analysis (vs. Arizona Cardinals)

And please don't call me a fake fan. I absolutely love the 49ers. I live, breathe and sleep 49ers football. But this a completely meaningless game and might as well get a higher draft spot.

You hit it spot on. Also, there isn't a doubt in my mind with a semi-competent coach, our talent, and a will to win that we could absolutely mud stomp the Cardinals. What's the point, a win with an interim head coach with a lame-duck QB isn't going to do anything to energize this fanbase. Knowing the wretched state this team is in, we'll win and cost ourselves about 8 draft positions and any plausible chance of drafting Luck.

Why is it acceptable for a team that has clinched a playoff spot to rest many of their first stringers during the last game of the season, but is considered poor form to play back-up guys because it might result in a better drafting spot? Either scenario seems ok to me.

By selecting Tomsula as interim HC, he is going to want to impress the Yorks and anyone else watching that he has HC potential. So he will go all-out to win.

This. we all will love a higher pick in the draft but regardless of who we have at QB, the Cardinals still have Skelton as their QB Manusky just has their offenses number man and we will completely dominate them as usual. Even if Nate starts, I'm almost certain he will be able to make 2 or 3 plays which will be more than enough to beat Arizona at home.

Sorry guys

Yea but Clements has been giving up as many plays as he has been making.
