I love our chances against the Niners

Our only hope is;

1. Healthy Kenneth Walker grinding out long drives wearing the Niners front seven down and preventing them from pinning their ears back and destroying Geno if the Hawk's become one dimensional.

2. Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy crapping the bed because the moment's too big for him.

This is the approach Pete should take, try and keep the game close and hope Purdy makes some mistakes to keep the Hawks close into the 4th.

If not? This is gonna be a Niner beatdown of biblical proportions.

I think we are going to get dismantled since our d-line and o-line is not as good but I also think getting our butts kicked in a playoff game by a divisional opponent will be good for this young team. It'll give them experience while providing more hunger to get back into the playoffs next year.

Being a playoff team also helps in free agency. The Hawks are winners. That's attractive. No matter the outcome this Saturday, it's a win for the Hawks. That said, I hope we kick their ass.

The first game we lost 27-7.

The next game we scored 6 more points and they scored 6 less, 21-13.

So, this next game we'll also score 6 more points and they'll score 6 less, so we win 19-15.

It's just what the math says and you can't argue with math.
TD called back for questionable roughing the passer call (attention NFL hates Hawks theorists), kneel down by 49ers at the end of the game to run out clock.

Has the Hawk D improved? Yes but not enough to stop the 49er run game which will have all their weapons back. 1st game no CMC, 2nd game no Deebo.

I think Geno goes full Geno, no run game and if weather is as predicted, Hawks will need a run game.

Speaking of runs, its been a nice run this season, way better than expected but I think the season ends Saturday.

No they havent. The Seahawks are 3-5 in their last 8 games. During this span they have allowed 22.6 points per game and an average of 157 yards rushing on the ground.

Their two wins were against the Rams who were 5-12 and the Jets who were 7-10. The Jets averaged 8.8 points per game and 61 yards in their final 5 games including the game against the Seahawks

If the Seahawks win this game it wont be because of their defense. It would be turnovers and the 49ers getting behind limiting their play calling to pass plays

How can you say if we win it's not because of our defense then turn around and say if we win it'll be because of turnovers? Who do you think gets these turnovers? Sure we could get some on special teams, but one thing our defense has been is ball hawks. IMO probably a little too much for my taste as I believe it is part of the tackling issue, but they are definitely getting the turnovers, and if they get a few against the Niners, that could be enough for a HUGE upset.

Special teams, things like bobbled catches. Fumbles.

I am just saying that the Seahawks defense will not be the sole reason for a win. Like a 19-6 game . If they win it will be high scoring like 31-28 or 34-31.

By the way the 49ers are number one in turnover margin and number 3 in least giveaways

The 49ers sure are until they get to the SB; then they turn into marshmallows (Recent history only....no need to go back 30 years to prove anything)

um..wut? They lost 2 close games. Not sure how that qualifies as "Marshmallow".

As you said above, Lockett and one of our 3 TEs probably do scare you. I do understand. We probably will run the ball a lot to set up play action. But there are teams that pass to set up the run. Dunno what they have planned. Will be a good game tho. Nice seeing ya here.

Some Niners fans are realistic and get it, others think the Niners literally float in mid-air and are w/out fault. 94 is a solid contributor for sure.

IF the 49ers get to the superbowl, this will be the best offense they have had compared to the last two

I hate that you guys have Kittle, McCaffrey and Deebo. Let alone all those ridiculous 1st rounders on the D Line.
Again, yes it hurts to say. But you should be very confident you guys make the SB.
If I was forced to make a pick right now? I'd say Cincy vs. Santa Clara.

Excuse me while I go throw up now.
