I like how the Seahawks should have won the second game but there is no talk about the missed field goal or missing Kittle and Sanders in the first meeting. That's convenient memory. Before anyone comments, YES, I remember the RB situation in Seattle for that final game. That ain't my point. This is:
This stuff happens with divisional foes. Seattle, Arizona, and LA will always be tough outs regardless of everyone's respective record.
As for this year?
You don't lose DeForest Buckner and move on without some drop off. I like Kinlaw, but even if he turns out to be everything Buckner was or even if he ends up being better, it won't happen this year.
Here's the rub tho. He doesn't have to be. They won't be the same team this year for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with Buckner.
1) QB: It'll be nice getting Jimmy a chance now with a year of experience and no ACL to rehab from.
2) WR: WOW this position group should be different. First off, you now have an experienced Deebo. Second, the only reason the Sanders trade was necessary was injury at the position. Now they get Jalen Hurd (whom Peter King said looked like a ROTY candidate in August and reinforced that looked very good in his only preseason game), Trent Taylor (Jimmys favorite target in 2017) back from injury AND add Aiyuk to the mix.
3) Bosa now is completely recovered from surgery his last collegiate year and has a year under his belt.
4) Given how injured we now know Staley was last year even when he was playing, its hard to imagine Trent Williams being anything but an upgrade, particularly when you compare him to Skule who started half the season at LT.
I could go on. I'm making no guarantees, but there are a TON of reasons to think this team is BETTER next year, not worse, even with a probable step back among the defensive front 4. That's not to say they WILL be better, but no team stays the same.
Perhaps there is a drop off. I see a lot of reasons to be excited this year...should they like, you know...play.
You keep telling yourself that.
It's funny how only SF's injuries are of any note , but with 5 top 10 first round picks on your defensive front , SF was
in danger of losing to an incomplete Seahawks team and needed a obvious grotesque PI in the endzone to be gift wrapped the NFC west and home field.
WE HAVE ARMED ROBBERS !!!
Lol, you should be a comedian.
