  1. Well, looks like that graphic agrees with me! Of the 3 NFC North teams and 49ers (i.e., those the 49ers will most likely be vying for the 7th playoff spot), then 49ers have the easiest remaining schedule.

  2. As long as there's no head to head with the Bears or Panthers when it comes to a wildcard, they're in good shape. If they lose to the Panthers and the Panthers go on to win their division, the head to head would come against the Buccaneers.

    1. I find it hard to get on board with the Panthers really making a push for the playoffs. And if the 49ers lose to the Panthers I think the 49ers probably don't deserve to make the playoffs. It would certainly make things a lot tougher.

  3. John Parker Romo visiting to try out for the kicker opening.

    1. Romo ranked 29th out of 33 qualifying kickers through 10 weeks this season. 12/13 on XPs, 11/14 on FGs.

  4. Peters signs Moody off the Bears practice squad. Must've been the one who pounded the table for him, lol.

  5. For me to get excited for the playoffs the Niners must due one thing, that is to win their remaining games. If they can beat the Colts and Hawks and Bears then they have a legitimate chance to go far in the playoffs.

    Saleh you have a short time to mold some sort of a defense.

    1. I don't think anyone wants to face Shanahan in the playoffs given his 8-4 record.

  6. I don't think this D will get us to the playoffs. I'm not sure everyone realizes how bad the D was yesterday. They gave up 488 yard lost another 110 yards on gains that were called back because of penalties. That is approx 600 yards that Cardinals offense gained yesterday and that is an O playing without their starting QB, best RB and best WR. I will root my butt off for my 9ers. I just don' see them winning 3 out of the next 6 unless Seattle has clinched their spot by the last week.

    1. Saleh blitzed Stafford 50% ....... he tried. But I agree Coach, they cannot allow the better QB's time to pick them apart. Just not sure what the answer is. I do wonder if they aren't getting pressure off the Edge w speed using Huff and Beal, perhaps just embracing a bull rush w Ferrell and larger DL's out there to collapse the pocket? Aldon Smith utilized the bull rush most of the time- too bad we don't have a Justin Smith ... perhaps Valdez can get some snaps inside soon.

    2. I think the only answer is score around 50 points. If Ariz. had only committed half of their penalties they might have cored 48 points. It is too much to ask the O to score in the high 40s consistently

    3. I think it's more the reason they'll get bundled in the first week of playoffs. They should be good enough to get them there though.

      A lot of those yards were in garbage time. And adding yards taken away by penalties isn't really fair - those plays came back for a reason.

    4. I agree Scooter- I think the D was "fine"- but the issue will be when they play a stellar QB who can dissect them.... PFF grades - if the link works. Snap counts of interest......https://www.reddit.com/r/49ers/comments/1ozlxo1/pff_week_11_defense_grades/#lightbox
