49ers @ Seahawks - thoughts?

[purguy12]

It is the NFL though... WE can't take you guy's lightly .. At this point though I don't think 10 wins will get in ...

I agree. I think you will need 11 or a crazy melt down from Arizona.

I'm not Kap's biggest fan, but if he's back then he needs to be put in an offense that fits him. At this point in time, he doesn't make good decisions and he's obviously lost confidence in the offense and himself.

Once Roman is fired and maybe Harbaugh gone they need a guy with a QB friendly and simplified passing game. I don't mean taking plays out either. Kap has too much on his plate at the moment where he has at best 5 seconds to make the Kill call or not and then hike the ball.

He needs something like Norv Turners offense where there's a quick play call and then have the more usual 15 or so seconds to look over the defense. Norv Turners base offense tells the QB that if the defense lines up this way, the safety is over here, then throw the ball to this guy. The way our offense is now Kap has to rush things and then make reads as he drops. He's not that kind of guy right now and maybe never will be. Kap needs the uncertainty taken out and then just let his athletic talent take over. Norv Turners style of offense does that.

It's no coincidence that Alex Smiths best year before Harbaugh is when Norv Turner was our OC.

It's the read option, not gonna happen.

I know this wasn't horribly popular, but what about Sam Bradford. IMO, it's a foregone conclusion the Rams will cut him. He's due almost $17 million against their cap. NO team is taking on that monstrosity of a contract.

I say we take him on a 1 year contract load that sucker with incentives and see what happens. Yes, I know, his durability is for shit! But that's the beauty of it, he needs to play a certain amount of plays/games, whatever, if he doesn't, don't bring him back. Personally, I think it's low risk, high reward.

Again, just my

I don't think Kap is getting benched this season or next. If he did it would be next season but it would be after a bunch if games. He hasn't lost enough to considering starting someone else (especially considering the actual options). Kap will be the guy for a while at least, I don't see that changing.

He ran the the pistol offense in college, but that pistol is out of bullets.

 

[Seminole]

I say let's see what Gabbert can do.

Anyone else?

No way he is horrible. I'd rather try Josh Johnson. Doesn't matter this season is done. I'm just wondering how much we can get from the Raiders for this douche Harbaugh.

The 49ers should have drafted Manziel.

Betting -- San Francisco 49ers are double-digit underdogs against the Seattle Seahawks - ESPN

Seahawks open up as 7.5 point favorites, now up to 10. I think that number will go up. Niners lost to the Raiders by 11, I think Niners lose by at least 14 points. It's a marquee game, but after the Niners lost to the Raiders, they are no longer considered as a marquee team.

Yea I got seattle winning by 9. I hope we win just so we can some what knock out seattle. If we lose lose the rest so we get a somewhat good draft pick. Baalke needs to hit a home run with this 1st rd pick this year after screwing up with the ward pick. At least he made up for it with the Hyde, Borland, Lynch, Martin and Johnson pick.

It would have been nice to get a WR like Benjamin for the redzone offfense. I don't know if he would have made a difference given the struggles of the offense.

I doubt it. A lack of receivers isn't the problem this year.

 

[purguy12]

Yes it is. All 3 are the same type of receivers. We don't have that redzone type player or shifty player like a walker, Maclin or Cobb kind of player, we don't have one that stretches the field.

No it's not. Boldin and Crab are a bit the same, but Stevie Johnson isn't and neither is Lloyd. Stretching the field doesn't do anything when defenses are sitting in Cover 3 daring us to do that and waiting for it. We've seen several times Kap throw deep and get picked off. That's not a speed problem. That's trying to force something that isn't there.

Film doesn't lie. Swings and crosses have been open, but Kap doesn't throw or even look there because he wants the big play and short crosses require timing and accuracy and that's not something Kap is good at right now.

 

[stilla9er]

49ers should of paid D. Jackson because he is a real game changer at the Wr. But that's water under the bridge now.

 

[purguy12]

Almost game time

Almost game time

I am in the Fantasy Football playoffs so for me plenty of exceitement regardless.

I noticed in Kaeps interviews this week and even a Harb's qoute regarding Pete that those 2 have come to grips with the situation and they appear loose and relaxed.
Seattle prefers both of them screwed down tighter than a drum corp's marching snare. Playing loose should enable them to play better.

Jonathan Martin is starting at right tackle again. He sucks. Marcus Martin, our rookie center is questionable, and Joe Looney, who has barely played all season and isn't a center might be starting at center today. It doesn't matter how loose they are. I expect the oline to play like crap up there and it won't even be close.

P65, please note that I said they should play better.

I don't think it will matter really, but I do agree it looks like they have finally..."unclenched" lol. They seem looser and kinda like a we've got nothing to lose now. I don't think it will matter because Seattle is just the better team but it makes the interviews much easier to watch.

Be nice to see Kaep take off every once in a while and use those legs. He's not an elite passer. Russell Wilson isn't either but has figured out long ago how he can be effective.

Hate seeing Kaep take off all day long against AZ, but sit in there like a statue against Seattle. Run, Kaep, run!!!
