How deep into the playoff will we go?

[pittpnthrs]

Wild Card win, lose in the Divisional round.

Yep,,,,ceiling.

 

[pittpnthrs]

What will folks here be saying on this topic when we lose to the Jets?

Fair

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Not gonna' lose to the Jets, but it's a good point.

 

[Seahawks fan]

As much as I'm hopeful on where this team is headed our weaknesses are still there and will only be exposed more as the competition gets greater. I say if we make the playoffs maybe a wildcard win nothing more...

 

[SoulfishHawk]

And that would be above many of our expectations. Shoot, I'd be thrilled with a playoff game. A win would be bonus, this year at least.

 

[projectorfreak]

kinda cool we get to play both GB and Minny before to gauge more than anything where we are , both of them obviously have way better records so not to sure but it should be a fun watch

 

[Wsumatt1982]

If we play the Vikings I say we win and then that is it. If we play the Packers I say we lose. I think that's what we'll do in the regular season as well.

The az game in az worries me. The outcome of the score and our injury history there… (knocks on wood repeatedly)

Why not

When you are a wildly inconsistent team -

The first rule about Playoffs is:

You don't talk about Playoffs.

who set the rules? and why must all 12s obey that?

 

[Ostatehawk]

who set the rules? and why must all 12s obey that?

I believe is was Brad Pitt or Ed Norton

 

[Ostatehawk]

Possibly Robert Paulson

 

[Chukarhawk]

who set the rules? and why must all 12s obey that?

because 3 weeks ago this place was gathering the torches and pitchforks and ready to run the entire coaching staff out of town on a rail. 1 loss and were out of first place and not in the playoffs. WAAAAAY too early to be talking playoffs.

This deserves the full rant--short version, lol.

Trivia questions:
1) Who knows exactly how Mora Sr. ends this section of the rant, the core message?
2) Did that Colts team make the playoffs? What was that team's final record?

Bonus Questions:
1) Who was Mora's QB that threw 4 picks?
2) Who was Mora's DC at the time?
3) Who was the DC on the opposing team?
4) During that season, what opposing QB beat the Colts twice, by lopsided scores?

I'll include answers in a follow-up post. No peeking!

No word yet on whether Mora Sr. is running Black Friday specials for Cameo appearances.

If so, someone should try this:

Q. "Coach, will the 49ers make the playoffs this year?"
A. (Mora unleashes with a 'Playoffs' rant tailored to this year's 49ers team, you might have to write it for him)

If we can't figure out how to run the ball we aren't getting past the wild card game. It seriously has to be fixed.
