49ers and Playoffs

Our defense just allowed Jacoby Brissett, journeyman QB, to set the nfl record for most completions. Imagine how that would play out against a playoff caliber team. Not our year sadly.

My dude. More than 55% of his yards were in garbage time down by 3+ scores. The Cardinals only ran the ball 12 times and threw it 57 times because they were getting blown out.

The defense allowed 22 points (literally the same exact number of points the Seahawks allowed to them last week yet something tells me you worship the Seahawks and think they're perfect) and only 10 points in the first 50 minutes. The Cardinals last 12 points came in the final 9 minutes when they were down 4 scores. Who cares how many completions Brissett had?

Is this the last straw y'all have to hold on to? That the opposing QB had a lot of empty calorie meaningless completions?

I get garbage time stats, but allowing a record setting performance? We have no pass rush and Fred patrolling the middle. Not a playoff defense.

I agree. If i'm an opposing team my gameplan would be to pass first then run the ball.

Looks like 3 of our remaining 6 games are primetime games. Could be 4 if our Seattle game means anything.

What you're saying is absolutely right. With that said, though, the Cardinals were down big, pretty much abandoned the run, and were still passing at will. That's troublesome. Saleh has to make adjustments in the scheme. The middle of the field is always wide open irrespective of game situation. We've seen now over several weeks where QBs just abuse our LBs bc they don't get deep enough. Every long down is made simple because we give so much cushion on screen plays. Teams easily pick apart our DBs.

Soft zone is just not working.

Seriously! Why run against a team that has no pass rush.

Dude, he hasn't had a consistent unit out there in months... a lot of moving parts. Finally, Martin got to show a little bit of his abilities (he wasn't bad), West and Davis finally playing w/out casts, Collins back, etc.

We'll probably have to wait till after the bye to see what Saleh does with a somewhat healthy / rested squad, and enough tape of these young dudes, to see what he can scheme up for the final month, which should determine whether they're playoff bound or seeding. Then if we get into the playoffs, he'll have to do more with this young squad

I can see the 49er making the playoff, But losing bad when they run into a good team.
There next 3 game should be easy wins. Panthers - 6 wins , Browns - 2 wins and Titans -1 win . The Browns game is on the road but if they lose to a team that only has 2 wins that is a problem . I'm not going to get over hyped with wins over any of these teams. If they win over the Colt that's a big win. If they pull off a win over Seahawks with the playoff on the line that is a big win.

We're slightly above average, but not a very good team (beat up and depleted)... if we can win vs Panthers and Bears (both in playoff contention), those will be good wins. A win against Colts would be shocking this time around

The game vs seaCucks.... anything can happen in a rivalry (bad teams win at times), it helps that it'll be in our house. The Browns is no gimme either, for some stupid reason, we don't win there (even when we've had good teams)

Agreed

no need to imagine... do you remember what Staff did to us 2 games ago... that's how it's gonna be..

The worst part is we have a HC who's going to try and outshoot those very good passing teams for the sake of showing off he's offensive play design...

I think the 7th seed and a 10-7 record is a realistic possibility.

Should be able to go 11-6. Not sure 10-7 gets us in either at this point.

Hurts to think that we would've been at least neck and neck with the Rams/Seahawks if not for crappy injury luck. Saleh coaching our fully loaded defense would've been awesome. Trade for another pass rusher or DI would've made sense then to take us over the top.

I'd take 10-7 at this point. As long as 2 of the wins are against the Panthers and Bears.

I'm not sure the Panthers go better than 9-8.

For the NFC North teams I'm not sure more than 2 get to records better than 10-7. There's so many divisional match ups left in that division for 3 teams to better 10-7.
