The 49ers that we're losing to Seattle at the half?


Does that really make you more optimistic about facing them? It's a meaningless stat.
You're biased because you have an extreme soft spot watching the Niners since you live out there. Who knows how that game will go, but I do know that they have a rookie QB and this will be the best defense he has faced.

Cowboys D looking great tonight, if we play like this we'll be fine I think.

Just depends on if the Niners can outscheme us with their offense and win the turnover battle.

A non stressful playoff win? What is this?

Pollard: 5.1 yards per carry
Zeke: 2.1 yard per carry

Zeke is truly at this point just a 2 yard power back. He should only get the ball in short yardage situations. Pollard can run between the tackles and is just several orders of magnitude more explosive

Yeah. Love Zeke and he's a warrior but the guy is just washed.

I'd argue that Davis brings more as a pure runner at this point.

It's obvious how hard Zeke has trained the past 2 offseasons. He's looked pretty good early in the season, but he's just had nothing left once they get to week 10 or so.

Please tell me there is no way Brock Purdy, 7th round rookie QB beats this team?

49ers open as a 4 point favorite

They ran Zeke into the ground his first 4 years. He'll still make a play here or there but he just doesn't have the tread on the tires anymore. Pollard is very interesting. It's a contract year for him and he really doesn't have a lot of wear and tear. I still think you need a workhorse type back to go along with him though.

It's not so much that he personally will do it it's the fact that the 49ers are incredibly balanced on both sides of the ball and get to play at home. They have about as QB friendly a setup as any team in the NFL besides probably the Eagles.

I think SF are the clear favorites, but if Dak has a repeat performance and if we can rattle Purdy we have a good shot at the upset.

**** San Fran and **** them being the favorites…

**** Jerry Rice, **** Joe Montana, **** Steve Young, and **** the late Dwight Clark…

Awesome win but there's a massive elephant in the room.

No way Maher keeps his job, right? I mean that's just ****ing unacceptable. I feel like random drunk guy in the crowd could've matched 1/5 extra points. Just completely unacceptable, especially in the playoffs.

Is Joey Slye available? Could we get Younghoe Koo?

I think Maher was so good all season, you cant just move on from him.
It was so off, like the yips or something.

Maher is going nowhere. You're gonna live or die by him at this point.

I'm sorry, I don't care how good you were in the season. You miss four xp's in a playoff game, you're fired that night.

You know it's bad when I agree with Spilner on something.

I don't think there is really a surplus of great kickers waiting to be signed.
You just gotta keep him, and probably be more aggressive with your 4th down attempts?
It was just so so bad, you are right. TO the point where he even changed his mechanics on the 3rd and missed it even worse. Ive personally thought he has had bad mechanics going back to the first time we had him, but he was nails all year. Im not sure I can remember a worse performance, much less in the playoffs.

I am 49ers fan, and I am expecting a close game between the Cowboys and 49ers. I predict the 49ers will beat the Cowboys 31-24.

How bout the NFC East? First time since 1997 that a division has 3 teams in the divisional round.

I think you take a look at some kickers this week, but Maher was so solid all year that I will not be surprised if they stick with him. Maybe getting that last kick can reset his mind. All that said, I do wonder if this is a late season crappy natural grass issue that has now caused an issue between his ears. Problem is that if this season lasts 3 more games, all 3 are likely on grass.

Maher is a record holder, most accurate from 60 yards and missed 4 XP in one game.

So, do we want to start a thread talking about the SF game?

Nah, this is the season thread for a reason. Just dump it all in here, then Saturday or Sunday morning begin the game thread.

On the Maher front, I think you should definitely try some other kickers out this week, and maybe (this is crazy and absurd to say) carry a back-up into the game this week. If he misses the first you yank him and don't look back. You cant afford to have a guy dropping points consistently at this time of the year.

Answer me this question.

Can't they line up the extra point anywhere between the hash marks they desire? Why set it up on the far left hash mark for a right footed kicked? Seems to maximize the difficulty factor.

It's his choice.

I would give him 3 attempts during practice (PAT, 40 yds, and 50 yds). Make all 3, keep your job. Miss one, you're cut.

But joking aside, I hope the issue is mechanical/technique and not the yips which is more likely.

The thought process behind this is to keep you from doing multiple things, like hooking or pushing the ball. Instead you juts push it consistently through the uprights. As we saw last night, Maher didn't do any of that.

He just wanted to set another record.

I loved Peyton mannings reaction to the3rd missed one. He stood up and walked away from the camera.
