I look at Sunday's game as a learning opportunity. Yes, I still hate the Niners with the burning fire of a thousand suns, but like many others here I feel that this game is the ultimate test for this team in all phases,
First of all, our team is young and hungry. They don't know to believe the talking heads that they are supposed to suck. They plain outphysicaled (prolly not a word) the SeaChickens. IF the Rams win this Sunday, the speculation will be wild as to how good the Rams can be by the professional media. Get ready for Sean and Les being called savants again. The media will be pissed that our team not only "bought" a Super Bowl but then we didn't have the decency to suck for a decade after the remodel.
If our Oline can hold back that ferocious Niner 4 man defensive front for 2-3 seconds, Matthew Stafford swill carve these bitches up. Not in the short game, but in longer developing routes. I liked what I saw from Tutu and he seems to be ready to tear the top off a defense (even the Niners), I think it was Jourdan that pointed out that he is jogging in motion before the snap of the ball, allowing him to cross the LOS at top speed. If he can get by the LOS without getting bumped/hit, the lil' dude will get behind these bastids and then watch for that beautiful Stafford pass over the top. I think Puka will play his role, but the Niners will try to shut him down like they did Kupp in past games. Benny Skow and Higbeast will catch balls over the middle to extend drives. Occasionally, Williams will have a good gain on the ground, but the Niners are good enough to stop our running attack, cold. The offense begins and ends with what the big uglies can do up front and I believe they will do well. maybe not as well as against the Hawks, but they are not finesse at all and the Niners have not faced a recent Rams team that can smack folks in the mouth (Oline).
Our No Name Defense played well. Our secondary played surprisingly well. Ernest Jones is a monster in the middle. John Johnson didn't even play on Sunday and he has been pretty physical with Kittle in past years. Sure, we need another Edge DE as has been discussed ad nauseum and a midseason acquisition is in the cards, depending how well the season goes. Our guys are playing with their hair on fire and that counts for a lot. As Coach Raheem says, "McCaffrey has been a pain in my ass," explaining that McCaffrey has harassed him in the NFC South and now in the West. As AD says, it's time to "Bow Up," This is our Aaron Rodgers heel, stopping him and the weapons they have.
I believe we can win and may call a win, outright. But what's more important is that it's a quality effort, win or lose. Make them feel the pressure of what youth and physicality will mean for them. Make Brock Purdy exclaim, "Oh Aaron!
Time to kick ass!
