Bingo! The common denominator over the last decade. Reliable, dependable receivers. Russ and Geno both throw the ball well....but DK, Tyler, Baldwin, Kearse, et al ..made the catches.

Miami is QB issues right now, and Brady is older than dirt but still sneaky good. Mentally still the GOAT and appears to Will his team to wins.

Seattle could be a sleeper this postseason. Offensive line and defense has been pretty good the past few weeks. Still need that 3rd receiver threat to keep opposing defenses off balance.

They activated Dee Eskridge from the IR. Not sure if that’s a good thing tho he hasn’t lived up to the hype

For the season, yes. But for a game in a mud fest, it’s not as relevant.

The most favorable matchups we have against the 49ers are our WRs vs. their CBs. Charvarius Ward is having a good year, but Emmanuel Moseley is injured, and Deommodore Lenoir is the 96th ranked CB on PFF. So Lockett or DK could be the key if Geno gets enough time to throw. (A big if.) Plus, maybe, just maybe, Dee Eskridge finally validates Pete's trust in him and he has a breakout game. (Or maybe at least contributes a little.)

Their corners are pedestrian and really their weak link. Mahomes ate them up in quick fashion we need to attack their corners early and often. Turn it into a track meet

I think the 9'ers are going to focus on stopping the run, gang their DB's up on Lockett and DK, and dare Tight Ends and #3 & #4 Recievers to step up.

The question is, how long will it take Carroll to adjust to whatever the 9ers are doing?

The team designated Dee Eskridge to return from IR two days ago. He is now in a 21 day window. The team can now activate Exkridge at any time. But, I've yet to see any actiual notice of activation. Cade Johnson got on the field last week. Seemed to fit in well.

Lenoir is pedestrian . Mooney ward has actually been really good this year and locked up Metcalf last game. Slot corner Jimmy ward is also pretty good. The match up to exploit is Lockett vs Lenoir .

Not sure why they were compelled to activate Eskridge at this juncture of the season. His impact has been minimal. I'd rather they just kept him on IR and let him fight for a spot next season.

If the 49ers play their worst CB on the Seahawks best WR, they will surely get exploited. Metcalf will have a big game because I believe that Mooney or Ward will cover Lockett. I hope the Seahawk OL holds up so Smith can find Metcalf or Lockett. It's unfortunate the the Seahawks lost Goodwin for the season. He was having a good season. He would have been key in this game.

I’m liking Dareke Young more and more. Definitely good to have another big target. Waldron needs to spread the field in empty sets with Geno making quick hits to nullify the pass rush. Certainly need good pass pro on Saturday but I like our chances
