Sloppy weather usually benefits the offense more (since receivers know their routes and cuts, whereas defense has to react = defense has higher chance of slipping/missing tackles) and since the Niners offense has been a lot better than Seattle's the past few weeks (plus Niners have the home crowd) Niners just might have a slight edge. Gotta force Darnold to make mistakes (luckily we're familiar with him) and capitalize on them to build up a lead.

Collinsworth towards the end of the postgame almost made it sound like he pushed for the Steelers-Ravens game to be on SNF…like how much more biased against the Niners can you be??? 🙄

All I gotta say is..

Purdy's kryptonite is rain. Seems he doesn't grip the ball well. Still, don't trust a forecast 6 days out.

He spanked Seattle in the rain once before (2022-23 wild card game)

Yeah but we have super sayan Purdy rn. Plus the weather report isn't good until like 2-3 days out. Hope there isn't wet weather

It was pretty light if memory serves me correctly. His biggest struggles have been in games it rains harder.

In addition to your comment, forecasts shouldn't be relied upon this far out.

Actually he struggled in the first half when it was raining, then carved them up second half when the rain stopped.

Some pretty crazy s**t. This is the same exact scenario as 2019 last game of the year between Niners and Seahags for the 1 seed. You either get it or back down to 5 that's what happened then, weird as hell déjà vu. The more things change the more they stay the same
