Plum Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Wow, what a sweet pick-up by me in Matthews. I think Sanchez is going to do well in the Eagles offence, they're facing GB tomorrow, both are pretty weak defences. Might be alot of points.

Mr. Ambien Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) I am not sure I would classify winning out (7 games) as simple xD especially when the combined record of the remaining games teams are 41-21 and only 1 of those 7 games is against a team under .500 which happens to be the Rams who already beat Seattle. They have to go into Kansas who has 1 home loss and is ridding a 4 game win streak. They have to go into Philadelphia where the Eagles are undefeated for a game that could be a tiebreaker game if Dallas surpasses Philly. You also have to look at the teams Seattle is competing with for that playoff spot. The NFC only really has 8 teams competing for a playoff spot then the talent levels drop off significantly at the 4-5 Vikings who are holding that #9 seed. This is likely because of the extremely water down South which sports the 4-5 Saints as a playoff team and division leader. Currently Seattle holds the last playoff seed the #6 seed in the NFC. The #5 team being the 7-3 Cowboys and the #7 team being the also 6-3 Packers with the #8 team being the 5-4 49ers. All of these teams have significantly easier schedules than the Seahawks. For example the Niners despite being a game back feature 4 very tame games against the Giants, Redskins, Raiders, and Chargers. Then 2 games against Seattle and 1 against the Arizona. Even if they drop 2 of those 3 division games this team could still end up at 10-6 easily with that schedule. While the Seahawks hold a playoff spot I feel it's realistic to be worried that they could miss the playoffs with that remaining schedule and currently chasing the Cowboys (who have the tiebreaker because they beat Seattle) while the hot Packers are literally on top of them. The Seahawks really could very easily miss the playoffs.I wouldn't call the Giants and Chargers tame. Especially considering how easily the 49ers secondary gets lit up. Also considering that the Chargers are only in a slump and have beat Seattle. In two of the 49ers losses they pissed away a huge lead on the Bears and fumbled a 1 yard QB sneak that would have won the game. Other two losses came to top tier teams. 49ers have to win at least one of those Seattle games, cannot lose against Washington or Oakland and have to come out at least 75% in the rest of their season. That is a pretty tall order given the inconsistency and sometimes amateur QBing of Kaepernick.. whether it be his clock management skills or pocket passing skills (overthrowing, holding on to the ball too long, etc) and the extreme vulnerability of the Niners D to the passing game. Niners middle D have done okay given their injuries (and Borland has been a beast) but PR without Aldon has been bad and the secondary has been dog sht when QB's aren't handing them INT's with the type of passes Brees threw. The Niners not only have to hope Green Bay, Detroit, or Seattle falter but have to do at least 2 out of 3 between their 2x Seattle and Arizona games unless running the tables on other games which means they could afford to lose 2 with help, one of those Seattle games being on US Thanksgiving ie Thursday ie short week. They CANNOT lose to either Oakland (who historically show up well for the Niners even when having terrible seasons like now) or Washington and must show well vs NYG and San Diego. The Bears and Rams losses were huge and have the Niners with odds of being on the outside looking in just as they are now in the standings. They really have to play Super Bowl caliber football from here on out to make it to the playoffs never mind stand a chance in them. Not much room for fuck ups like the Rams and Bears games. That's a pretty tall order for this team the way they've played thus far. Edited November 11, 2014 by Mr. Ambien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really have to play Super Bowl caliber football from here on out to make it to the playoffs never mind stand a chance in them. Not much room for frack ups like the Rams and Bears games. That's a pretty tall order for this team the way they've played thus far. I wasn't exactly building an argument that the Niners would make the playoffs as much as I was stating that just based on an easier remaining schedule it wouldn't be to absurd for them to beat out the Seahawks. However I do think the Giants and Chargers are non threatening teams. The Giants have 3 wins on the season and all 3 came against below .500 teams. They are riding a 4 game losing streak now and let me read off how many points they lost by in each of those 4 games... 10 points, 16 points, 21 points, and 27 points. The lowest amount of points they gave up in this stretch was 27 points but that came in a game where the score was 27-0 after 3 quarters and they were basically given mercy as the other team just started running the clock. The Chargers have done better at competing and I wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Niners but outside of the Seahawk win they beat the Bills, Jags, Jets, and Raiders. Basically they beat up on lower tier teams. Once they started playing better teams they started getting pushed around. I would still favor the Niners over them plus they don't play until week 16 and after the Chargers get the Ravens, Patriots, and Broncos and if that goes poorly for San Diego they may be eliminated already and just evaluating talent with new players getting time. Realistically though the Niners won't need to be relevant and Seattle's biggest threat to missing the playoffs is Green Bay right now. Seattle is holding the last playoff spot and Green Bay is 1 win away from taking that spot and the only threatening teams they face from now on is Philly, New England, and Detroit. The other 4 games being against the Vikings, Falcons, Bills, and Buccaneers. Seattle is now facing the task of holding off Green Bay or catching Cards or other wild card team (currently the Cowboys who have what could be considered a 2 win lead on the Hawks as they possess the tie breaker). What makes me doubtful that the Seahawks will survive is how they have been playing these last weeks. Even these last 3 wins have shown a shaky team. They barely got away with a win against a bad Panthers team. A bad Raiders team hung around against them. And a bad Giants team seemed to control most of the play for 3 quarters and just never took advantage of mistakes. They need to clean up their game against these better teams coming up or they will likely drop a lot of these games and chasing any of those teams could be frustrating when you see you have to go beat the Cardinals while a team like Green Bay is facing the Vikings or Buccaneers the same day.

Ghostsof1915 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Dam forgot we play GB next week. Rodgers will expose our defense and its an away game. I'll give us a 40% chance of winning Nice to see confidence in your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Dam forgot we play GB next week. Rodgers will expose our defense and its an away game. I'll give us a 40% chance of winning I think it will be pretty close. Green Bay's defense gives up even more yards than Philadelphia's defense, both defenses are mainly based on forcing turnovers. Philadelphia has also scored over 30 points in 6 of 9 games this year (could make a case saying it would be 7 had they not had a 27 point lead on the Giants in 3 quarters). The lowest score they have posted is 20 points which was against the #4 defense. On paper Philly can afford to give up TD's because they score so often. Plus if you want to look at Rodger's splits to feel a little more comfortable he has played the Bears twice and in those 2 games he has a combined 10 TD passes (he has 25 total). 6 TD's in one game and 4 in the other. He has not topped 3 TD passes in any other game this season. Philly's defense is also #2 in sacks and #2 in fumble takeaways so they may get after him a bit. Green Bay worries me a bit just because Rodgers is well Rodgers but I think they match up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Crosby Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The Seahawks performance was telling me they are good but not good enough. They have no deep threats or playmakers with the ball, they need a stronger Offensive line and wide receivers. sounds like the last couple of years.

Mr. Ambien Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Looks like the Niners are gonna rely more on Borland to continue being all over the field with Willis' season over. Edited November 11, 2014 by Mr. Ambien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bay worries me a bit just because Rodgers is well Rodgers but I think they match up well. I think I'm more worried that its an away game. If it was a home game I would be more comfortable but Rodgers plays well at home with 3 TDs every game and idk if Sanchez will play as well as he did in the away games (I didn't look at his record @GB) Also scared of Nelson because we don't have a CB able to cover him. Scariest stat is Rodgers hasn't thrown an interception at home since 2012. What doesn't worry me is GB gives up a lot of sacks which could lead to fumbles or interceptions and that our Offense is good enough to take a big lead and Rodger's numbers are worse when playing from behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw GB put up 50 points lol I'm more confident in beating Seattle and the cowboys because their quarterbacks turn the ball over and both are home games (we play cowboys away also but late season Romo is an easy win ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckfan_21 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Looking at the schedule next week it's gonna be a long wait till one o'clock on sunday. No games that really interest me or sound all that exciting and then at 1 its Lions v Cardinals as well as Eagles v Packers with Colts and Pats to close out the night. I guess I'll do some schoolwork or something in the morning and get ready for some great football in the afternoon/evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I just saw GB put up 50 points lol I'm more confident in beating Seattle and the cowboys because their quarterbacks turn the ball over and both are home games (we play cowboys away also but late season Romo is an easy win ) Need that run game to show and be half consistent down the stretch. No more excuses the o-line is healthy enough now they have to keep balance to beat teams because they will dare Sanchez to be consistently accurate since his career completion percentage is only around 55 percent. Defence will have to continue to bring it. But Eagles are different team on the road that is a really tough game going into the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau field. I'm encouraged by the emergence of Jordan Matthews hopefully he can keep it up and be a weapon the way Martavis Bryant has emerged for the Steelers to complement Antonio Brown.

Bruce Boudreau Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Actually it's poor Marc Trestman. He does an amazing job in the CFL by gameplanning for one of pro football's greatest QBs and gets a shot in the NFL but has to gameplan with Jay Cutler under center. Cutler isn't fit to shine AC's shoes. The problem is Trestman is too pass happy when he has a great back like Forte. Run the damn ball. You need offensive balance when teams are keying in on Jeffrey, and Marshall. It also helps out Cutler because it would cut down his pass attempts and chances to make bonehead plays. Look what a run game has done for Romo. He has almost entirely cut out the bonehead plays he was known for in the past this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent QB should throw 40+ touchdowns and over 4,000 yards EASY with those 2. Add in how good Forte is and they should be a top 5 maybe even top 3 offence. IMO get rid of Trestman and Cutler.
