so, looking at the results of the games yesterday, the Lions need to win today and again next Sunday and they get the 1 seed. If they lose either game, they are a wildcard team?

Edit: I just saw that the winner of the game next week is the #1 seed regardless of what happens tonight.

Saw people arguing about whether to rest starters or not, from what I've read this game doesn't really matter in the sense that ties are extremely unlikely, but it still could have minor implications for week 18 . The outcome of the Niners game tonight will only affect whether a tie with Minnesota next week results in the Lions (Niners lose tonight) or Vikings (Niners win tonight) winning the division. Remote possibilities aside, only next week matters.

Kerby is stupid

 

[gotime909]

AG vs a good coach is always scary. SF walked right down the field. Gonna be a long night if Glenn can't make adjustments.

 

[biggunsbob]

Defense playing with no juice to start.
Have not won in SF since 1975.
Hopefully the offense came to play.

 

[biggunsbob]

Gibbs !

 

[gotime909]

Dammit ben! Relax with the trick plays

 

[biggunsbob]

That was not a good play on second down.

 

[biggunsbob]

Jamo !

 

[gotime909]

Gotta get it up over 5 ft Bates

 

[biggunsbob]

Number 49 was blown up on that extra point.

 

[atxlion82]

Ran right over the long snapper

 

[gotime909]

Gonna need turnovers

 

[biggunsbob]

big issue moving forward is can we get stops.

 

[gotime909]

Idiot Glenn only brings 4 on 3rd down passing situation

 

[biggunsbob]

Maybe we should play zone.

 

[gotime909]

Be nice if one of the safeties would make some sort of play. Seems like it's been months

 

[gotime909]

Glenn is getting embarrassed
