If your still alive you can’t tank it.It was a nice win. But I still don't think we make the playoffs. Until the offense starts to make a better showing against better teams, I'm not convinced. But its still better than the pre McVay era when by this time we were debating whether or not we should tank for a higher draft pick.
Completely disagree. We can beat Dallas they have looked average. SF in SF will be really hard.There is no legitimate reason to believe Goff will play well against a very good defense this year. I think we can beat Hawks at home, but the next 2 games in Dallas and SF are doubtful, and extremely remote that we win both. Highly likely we beat Cards at home. 9-7 is reasonable, 10-6 is limit. That won’t get us in playoffs.
Back in the ol rivalry days of the 80s-90s the road team usually fared better in this series. Perhaps that holds true this time as well....Completely disagree. We can beat Dallas they have looked average. SF in SF will be really hard.
All that aside they do have an achilles heel so to speak which is their QB position; if they had a top QB they'd win it all for sure this year.

When they get into the playoffs I think that run game being stuffed will = elimination. We'll see how it plays out.We are usually of like mind but right here I very much disagree with you. JG is having a fantastic year. He doesn't have huge numbers but it's because they are a running team. One of the few that still use the run to set up the pass and they do both very, very well. They are #2 in points for a reason and having a team like he has there makes them the NFC favorite IMO.
He's completing 69% of his passes for 8.1 YPA and 21 TD's on fewer passes than the 6 guys ahead of him and the guy he is tied in the spot with.
I hate to say it but the 49ers look to have their franchise QB.
We have been able to score on Seattle the last few seasons (we do well against zone teams).
The game that is daunting is at the 49ners .
