Are you worried with only 3.5 days to prepare for Seattle? | Page 5

Because of the NBA schedule of Christmas day the NFL moved most of its games to Saturday 12/24. That means after MNF we have Tuesday-Friday afternoon to prepare before we fly up to Seattle. Who looks like they are going to win their 5th out of the last 6 games today. Its a tough place to play. I think the next two games are going to be big tests. I wish we had more time to put in a proper game plan.

Just like we were probably going to lose to Pittsburgh.

We played great tonight but Seattle is not the same team we played earlier this year and it is in Seattle which is a tough place to play so I suggest we not take them lightly. Last, Seattle is playing for a possible playoff berth yea its a long shot but still possible.

I'm more afraid of the Seattle game than I was before the Pitt game. Seattle is tough to play in and they are very much improved on defense. This is the same team that beat Baltimore at home.

I don't see Marshawn lynch being a threat like he is to every other team though. This is the 49ers' run defense we're talking about here...

Even so, it's tough to travel on a short week.

Baltimore also got raped by the Chargers in San Diego. The Ravens are a different team when their opponent isn't having to travel all the way across the country on 3 days rest.

I'm nervous. We got to heal up and study up for Seattle.

No! Seattle ranks 23rd in passing, 22nd in rushing...I'm not scared. If anything, Seattle should be worried that they only have 4.5 days to prepare for us!

I'm completely confident that we're going to go into Seattle and beat them. I'm not dismissing their recent success, but the 49ers are just the better team. I'm really looking forward to seeing Aldon Smith go for the rookie sack record, seeing us go another game without allowing a rushing TD, another game with no 100 yard rusher, getting 3 or 4 turnovers, and locking up the number 2 seed in the playoffs! Be confident, we have a stud team this year!

The NFC West is no longer a soft division. Arizona and Seattle both have good defenses. This game is going to be tough, tough game. The first game was a tough game until Ginn did his thing. As far of having only few days between games - eh winning teams win period - no excuses for schedule.
