TB isn't an easy win in TB. Falcons game at home should be a W, but the last game against Arizona? Not a gimme, especially if it's for a playoff spot.
The Niners are a good team, they still haven't showed they are great. Gore isn't what he used to be and Kaepernick just isn't special.
To me, every game is a 'must win', this is the NFL, you only play 16 of them in the regular season. Practicing losing is never good.

You guys in here bash Kap relentlessly, probably more than some Niner fans do out here, but you forget, he is still young, Russell Wilson, Luck, Cam and RG3 has more experience behind center than Kap. Kap has potential has only begun to be tapped, sky is the limit for Kap, that is why Jaws said he can become one of the greatest QB's in history, he made that statement based upon his potential.
This coaching staff let Kap down this year, trying to make him a clone of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, fearing that he might get hurt. Having said that Kap lead the Niners to the super bowl with only 8 games experience, the only other QB to do that was Jeff Hostetler. That is why Kap gets so many endorsements, plus he has Swag, Style and charisma. Russell Wilson, as good as he is, still have yet to lead his team to the Superbowl, he has yet to accomplish what Kap has already done with less starts.

Yes, but unlike the other four, Kaep had an opportunity to sit and learn for 1.5 years before being kicked out of the nest, plus he inherited a team that was 14-2 and a missed FG from going to the SB in the previous season. Cam, Wilson, RG3, and Andrew Luck all inherited losing teams and were forced to start from the get go and learn on the job.
Kaepernick is not in the same class as the 4 you mentioned. He's an average quarterback at best and not much, if any, of an upgrade from Alex Smith.
The only reason that it is a MUST WIN is because the Giants are really quite bad - people have been lamenting how they had been on a hot streak lately, but in reality, they barely beat a Rodgers-less Packer team, a Viking team led by Josh Freeman, the Redskins who are in freefall mode, a pretty bad Raiders team and the Eagles (who are a division foe and hadn't really hit their hot streak yet).hawkfannj":1fps0ljs said:Is it?

Giants are the weakest team left, that makes them a must win.sutz":y2z9lo1c said:The fact is that we don't really know what games are "must win" until we see how the Niners do. I find that kind of silly. I've spent too many years hoping for something to happen vis-a-vis other teams to figure out our playoff scenarios. We don't have to do that yet.
If we win 2 out of 3, nothing else matters. Nothing.
But please proceed with your :240039: , although I thought I was beyond watching all that when my kid grew up.

Completely agree. Must win indeed!AbsolutNET":198jk1l7 said:Honestly, if we can't win all three against NY, Ari, and STL, I will be worried about our chances in the playoffs. If the Hawks are the team we think they are, they win these next games.

Swag, style, and charisma?
GTFO.
You must be 15, and a Justin Bieber fan to care about any of that crap. He is average at best, and lucky that defense bails him out.
