He also compared Joe Montana at the end of his career to Joe Namath.

Plus, GB should match up really well against them. What they do on offense is gonna be hard for Sea to stop and their edge guys quicker and should be able to corral wilson. They also have the coverage guys to take away their receivers 1v1.
We match up way better against GB than Sea.
So, I'm calling it now,
32-17 49ers over GB to go to the SB against the Titans.

Really?

That's bold. I picked the Titans to beat NE (also picked NO to beat Minne), but beating Balti is another deal.

Except for being RH and can't run, and just isn't as good as Young overall right? Jesus... I'm surprised he shut up about having Metcalf as 7th overall in his draft prediction long enough to say anything else.

First game on Saturday, slightly short work for the Viqueens and traveling across the country .

Drew Brees might have a different opinion. 26/33, 208 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. Other than one long run by Hill, they did nothing on the ground either...and this is the same team that hung a 40 burger on us.

Make no mistake about it, this is going to be a very tough game.

Very much this. The amount of people underestimating them on here is laughable

The Saints had only 75 passing yards by the 4th quarter. The Vikings team is scary. I thought it would be difficult for them on the road but they moved the ball at ease. If we can't stop Cook, we'll be in trouble. We'll be in even more trouble if we can't get after Cousins. I do think our interior DL is better than the Saints since we would have a DL of Bosa-Buck-AA-Ford with Dee back healthy. The Saints DL isn't quite the same with Rankins and Davenport. Hendrickson is a solid replacement and they still have Malcom Brown on the DL, but it's not the same level.

Hopefully our DL can smother the Vikings in every aspect. I'm worried honestly, because they have such a ferocious defense. We have to come to play.

Shanahan should do some designed rollouts for Jimmy to start the game to get him away from Griffin and Hunter. It's an easy way to get the offense yards and our QB in rhythm to start the game. Staley and McGlinchey will need to be on top of their game with those two lurking around.

What I wanna know is how in the hell did Mitchell Trubisky beat Minnesota!!!

My lord why is everyone so afraid of Seattle ? We are much better than them.

Right? They are not that good.

Just not

We are division rivals so they always play us hard. That and they have owned us for the most part since Wilson got there. We literally have only beat Russell Wilson 4 times and once was this year and once was last year lol so that means Seattle has stomped us out for a while. That's why people don't want to play them

I do believe we are the better team this year
Though and expect to see them in the NFCC

I think the Seahawks won't get past GreenBay.

The good new is we will have a long week and our opponent will have a short week tp prepare for the Championship game

The Vikings are right behind the 9ers in DVOA; above the Seahawks and Packers, respectively. They are the best overall team left in the NFC besides us. We are the better team so we should still win, but it's dumb to think it will be a cake walk. We just need to show up and outplay them in all 3 phases.

Which would mean....a cakewalk.

Say anything you want. Overlook the Vikings. Downplay them.

Nothing you say has any impact whatsoever on the game.
