So now who do the 9ers have to beat to prove they are for real?

[CruiseControl]

It's a division game moron. These are the toughest games for all 4 teams despite records, streaks and what ever crap you want to throw at the wall.

Tougher for some than others... you beat rams by 1 at home?

So you think it'll be a Niner cake walk in Seattle?

Cale walk? No. Playing Russel Wilson is never a cakewalk. But I think 9ers have more than a solid chance to win. I bet vegas agrees.

Yeah, Wilson should get the MVP right now if the season ended today. 14 TDs, zero picks & 9YPA. And he doesn't exactly have the best supporting cast.

He should've won the MVP a few years ago as well (forget what year).

Week 17 is a long ways off so who knows what could happen. I give the Niners a 3 to 5pt fav in San Fran if both teams run the schedule to week 10.

It's looking like a 14-2 season if they stay healthy

They will come down to earth. 12 and 4 is where I have them... not sold on their qb

Simple

I can hear Chris Berman while watching this.

Good point, which makes it easier speaking to relevant fans like yourself...

At this time, the NFC West right now has to go through San Francisco... Comparing them to the Seahawks, without a doubt, RW is significantly better than Garroppalo... That's about the only thing you could say right now where Seattle is better... Outside of that, that's may not be enough to over come the fact that SF is significantly better than the Seahawks right now on defense... They even have a better running game right now as well... Great running game, that includes a great defense, equates to a formula for success (Hawks no that from '13-'15)... I've never been sold on Garrop but right now, the run game along w/ great defensive play is going to be tough to beat in the NFL, which is why SF is the front runner right now in the NFC West imo...

However, we all know (well most of us with wisdom and common sense) that things can change fast in the NFL with 11 more weeks remaining in the regular season... We've both beaten the Rams... The first game between the Hawks/49ers will tell a lot about where we're at... IMO, I think we'll split the games with both teams winning at home... Should be fun though... It's nice to have the 49ers relevant again because it was fun having that rivalry a few years back...

I predicted here the Rams would win the NFC West. Just goes to show how things can change and injuries can play a big part. Haven't watched any Seattle games yet this year. They have not broadcast any in my area. RW seems to be having a great year. I have him and Lockett on my fantasy team and they are posting some good numbers. Without getting into too much, Jimmy G is playing okay. Some things need to get better with him.

Did @Montalban get banned? Would have thought he'd be going berzerk here.

I think I did. I was out of the country for a month until today and couldn't get to this website from the countries I was in. I thought that was it, maybe not.

I think the streak ends here without Kittle and Alexander they won't be able to convert 3rd down enough or be able to stop the Seahawk running game.

I didn't realize Kittle is out

 

[Dude]

I’ll take a guess... next team up?

 

[Montalban]

I didn't realize Kittle is out

Knee and ankle injuries.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Knee and ankle injuries.

Damn that sucks. He's a great player and he worried me the most running through the Seahawks secondary.

 

[Montalban]

Damn that sucks. He's a great player and he worried me the most running through the Seahawks secondary.

He's irreplacable in this offense and so is Alexander in the defense. Carson will run all over this defense if they are smart enough to feature him instead of Wilson..

The only thing you can hope for is next man up and play at a good level. Carson hopefully will have a good game but he needs to hold onto the ball. A game like this which will be close he can't give away possessions.

You said they couldn't win without Juscyzyk and Staley either, so....

I think it will be nip and tuck. The kind of game that is excruciating to watch.

 

[Montalban]

I did. The one hope I have is that this team seems different. The Niners used to find ways to lose and now they find ways to win.

 

[Anointed One]

Hawks are having issues at TE, too... Lost Dissly for the season...
