NFC Championship Game Week Thread

[Uhsplit]

Only once in 17 tries (Mike Glennon) did a quarterback not finish the game with a lower ANY/A average in Seattle than he did in games started at all other venues that year.

If you take an average of the averages, the 17 quarterbacks averaged 2.99 ANY/A in Seattle and 6.12 ANY/A in all other games that season. In other words, going to Seattle takes about half of a quarterback’s value away. That, in a word, is insane. The only non-Glennon quarterback to produce an ANY/A of over 5.9 (the league average the last two years) was Drew Brees last weekend, but that was based on some garbage time production.

Wow. That's some interesting stuff.
For some reason, most opposing QB's look pretty bad against us.

The secondary is absolutely on fire right now. Brees put up 300, but a lot of those yards came when the Seahawks were willing to give up the middle of the field and his biggest play was a fluke catch after 2 guys fought over a pretty easy interception. I don't think either team is going to have much luck throwing the ball and it's going to come down to turnovers/running game.

Since you're a Duck fan you can't be more than 18 or 19 so you weren't even alive the last time the 9ers won a SB.

You're a fucking idiot. Played baseball at UO until title IX took it away in early 80's.

And Craperdick is playing in Seattle this Sunday. Everytime he comes here, he turns into jello. Look at his QBR when he's up here. A Cleveland browns QB could do better than him.

You will need him to turn into Jello. Your boy Wilson has just 3 TD in 4 games and is really having trouble on 3rd down.

They should break down that stat further and separate pressured out of pocket TDs from pressured inside the pocket TDs.

Everyone knows Wilson is fantastic scrambling around outside the pocket which is why defenses scheme to bottle him in the pocket and put the pressure there making sure he doesn't escape.

Jamie Dukes insight to the Sea-sf game.

"I pick SF" ............."plus, It's really hard to beat a team 3 times in one year"

Yeah Jamie, teams are tied at 1-1.

New York Daily News:

the matchup on Sunday in Seattle between the San Francisco 49ers (14-4) and the Seattle Seahawks (14-3) is definitely "old school."

"I think DBs playing physical is the way football
should be," Sherman said. "A lot of people want
to see great offense. You see great offense all the
time, people running through zones and guys not
being able to cover them.
"We stand up there and have a dogfight every
play."

"I think we can bully whoever we want to bully,"
said Seahawks safety Earl Thomas, in a sentiment
that would surely be echoed by their opponents.
"It's about us. It's about a mind-set. When you
have a mind-set of you're not going to let
anything get in your way, you're determined."

As it should be!
