Playoffs: Who do we want next?

[hox]

I don't think the Rams would care.

I think they believe they will beat either team.

I would have more confidence if Sam didn't have the issues he's had Shula's defense.

That's my main concern at the core of this.

They've had success pressuring Sam into turnovers from nickel and dime looks. It's incumbent on Kubiak to solve for this either via the running game, better blitz pick up, or heavy TE formations.

If he does, I won't be concerned about the turnovers. It's more about the redzone success that will determine who wins the game. FGs won't cut it.

Some deep shots early to JSN or Shaheed will make them think twice about sending extra pressure from these looks as well.

I've always said you don't need any respect but 1/5 analysts taking the Hawks and giving them an L is trash. The only team top 5 in O and D.

My gut feeling say we play the 49ers next week and the Rams the following week

My gut feeling is that we all have heartburn during these playoffs.

Niners linebackers 1 thru 4 not playing in Philly. It’s literally a practice squad of LBs on the field and no depth. Man i’d be rooting for 49ers all day and then just use a wishbone offense for about 300 yds on the ground next week lol.
crazy ass season though, loving these wild games

 

[Welshers2]

Personally I am pulling for the Whiners tonight. id rather play them next week

 

[hawkfan68]

Each game this weekend has gone down to 2 minutes or under for winning team make the decisive score. It's been wild.

To the topic of the thread - it doesn't matter. Going to have to win 3 games to get the ring. Just keep winning.

I'm getting that same feeling

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm warming up to the fact that we get the Clams with us getting rest. Gonna have to play them at some point anyway. F em. Bring it on.

 

[glenwo2]

Rumblings are that it will be 3:30 on Sunday. I'd love that. Can't help but tip the cap to Santa Clara. That's one hell of a well coached team. Impressive win.

On the one hand, that would be nice but on the other hand, if it's on Saturday, it forces the Niners to come in on short rest while the Hawks are on full rest.

It has already been announced that the Seahawks and Niners will be playing Saturday. We just don't know the time slot yet.

 

[Seahawkfan80]

Financially, the early game will be with the AFC as they are more EAST of us and will be the draw for Money. So we must be the late game. It is just the way of the advertising money. More draw for the larger crowds. I hope this makes CENTS.

Then it looks like those rumblings that Soul mentioned could've just been his stomach.

Whether that means he's hungry or has indigestion, I don't know.


(just messin' with ya, @SoulfishHawk . )

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Just was what a friend was hearing. It has since been announced as Saturday at 1:30-5:30.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Let's be honest here.

The Niners are NOT beating the Eagles.

It's going to be the Rams.

How bout now???

 

[glenwo2]

How bout now???

So happy to be wrong, man.

Wow...what an absolute JOKE, imo.

I mean I get it that this game may not be all that competitive but the Niners are still a big market, though

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Personally, I'd prefer the early Saturday game. Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to play at certain times. Work schedules, etc.

Also, stop with the assuming it's some pushover game. The Niners just beat the SB Champs on the road. The Niners are VERY well coached. This game is going to be a battle.
