If the Hawks and San Fran both get 10 wins...

Going the extra 15 Minutes will hopefully hurt them next week.

The tie was helpful. We were surely losing the tiebreak given our 0-3 division record, so now making up two games gets us there.

Not as helpful as a loss, and it will still be awfully tough to get there, but given that we weren't going to win the tiebreak if projected results held, this was still good overall.

We need to start winning road games before we get all fired up about winning the division. Some tough ones coming up against Miami and Chicago.

The bigger story could be the tough schedule the Niners have coming up and Kaepernick could be playing.

And we though SMITH was bad.

If it's a concussion he should only miss a couple games right?

The next game for them is against the Bears.

Kaepernick vs. the Bears could be very ugly for them.

Basically, if we have the same number of wins as them, they get the tiebreaker. But that was already likely to be true since Seattle is 0-3 in the division and can't sweep SF. So SF gained almost nothing from this tie- but they did lose something- a game in the win column. If Seattle finishes 12-4 the 49ers would need to win 12 games themselves, and they just lost one of those wins tonight. So it's pretty big. If SF loses next week against the Bears, Seattle will actually control their own destiny.

Win more games , win the division , same as before.

Basically.

Except for the incredibly important fact that they have one less W now. This was mathematically identical to a loss as far as NFC west race goes.
