I always hope we ball out, because that's what I want to happen. Realistically? I think this game will be 24-21 or so and I wouldn't be surprised at all if we lost. If anything, I think we lose more than I think we will win, unfortunately.

but I'm going to hope I'm wrong. If we were healthy I'd feel great but we aren't and this is a very good team in a very difficult place.

id love nothing more than for Brock to crush them and we beat that ass

i just try to throw that positive energy out there

24-21? Rational, reasonable? Kinda boring lol jk

I forgot what my score prediction was initially but
Idk Kittle is sick, might be tiny bit slower, Stout, is he playing? We got MW back, we are so much stronger on D than the last time we saw them. Sammie D might go into poltergeist mode and I wanna see it badly.

30 SF
24 Seasnots

We win by six to ten points over these guys

This is what my optimist side tells me. I also want no more injuries it's killing us. At full strength I think we win handily. This one is going to be close but we pull it out with a late FG.

Kittle Flu Game?
CMC new dad (2nd kid) Energy?
I'll take them both on FanDuel for tuddys.
LETS GO

My real concern is Kyle being hyper conservative, like he was against the broncos for most of the game.

id like to see more of a balance when it comes to it. Hopefully Evans is feeling a lot better. Maybe cooks will be a lot more comfortable after a couple weeks. Those 2 can create separation to really help us win this game.

here we go

Seems like athletes get sick a lot. I'm always suspicious when I hear a guy had food poisoning. That's not that common and these guys certainly should be able to afford eating in decent places. Plus many of them have a personal chef. I don't know what Kittle's illness is.

I'm hoping our defense wreaks their offense.

Morris's play calling and schemes have been impressive, making people over achievers with at least confusing the QBs. Hopefully it continues, would love to pick Darnold off a few times.

Agree 💯%, his defensive philosophy and scheme is more akin to the original Seifert Dynasty defenses than the Saleh Wide 9 defense. Saleh's defenses are horrible (in my opinion) for any playoff team. Saleh's defenses are Too simple, depends too much on raw talent vs football IQ, and is vulnerable to Good OLines that can hide their holding penalty violations from the Refs. Raheem's defenses actually will have an advantage over OLines built like KC's OLines that hold all the time.

Not sure how true that is, but I'd love to hope so. As of now it's looking like another SB rematch with those cheating fools.

yeah looks like it. Hopefully the December 27 game will prove that I was right and that we can shut down Kermit's offense. We shall see!

Sigle, Bosa, and Juice. Three big losses. Hopefully the backups can really step up today. Would be great to see mustapha have a great game.

Tight End Jack Stoll is an interesting practice squad elevation. I'd like to see him in action if Kyle is able to put away the Seattle early.

Probably to account for the loss of Juice.

In game thread is open.
