Niner Game

[Uppercut]

Wow I checked out a couple Niner discussion boards and find them obsessed with this game and the Seahawks and posts go back for a month or more.

If somehow they lose there will probably be a line of fans ready to leap off the Golden Gate Bridge

It would be great if we could get that rivalry going again. It was one of the best rivalries in the league when Hairball was there.

[Hawktawk]

If I was a betting man Id like the 9ers. They are pounding teams we squeaked by and are undefeated. They are well rested. They are home. They have a far better defense and a very productive offense with numerous outstanding skill people.

But I'm not a betting man for one. For another they looked downright human vs the Cards and their mobile QB. Our offense can score on pretty much anyone.Its prime time. All the pressure is on them. If we play our game and dont turn it over this can be done. I see 26-17 Hawks

Of course they are, they are 1-10 against us in our last 11 meetings.

The games on a Monday night and the 49ers don't have Russell Wilson as their QB. This will always give us a leg up on any team we play.

I haven't seen the line, but I wouldn't advise betting on us unless you could get at least 3 points.

I'll quite frequently bet against us in these types of games if the point spread is close to even. That way, it's a win-win for me. If we win, then I don't mind giving up a few bucks in order to bask in the glory for another week and if we lose, at least I have a nice little consolation prize.

But I'll never bet against us if we're more than a point or two underdogs. It would suck to lose both the game and my bet if we covered the spread but lost the game.

LOL

I am a mellow Niner fan, I found out if one gloats too much it will come back around double.

One of my co-workers used to rail on Sherm like he was the worst thing that ever walked the face of the earth. Now he is the man, go figure, boys being boys

I think we are favored by 6, I think it will be like 35 -27 ish

Good Luck

With the Rams falling off a cliff, the 49ers know we're they're only real competition for the division. If they can't beat us or at least keep the game tight, they aren't for real.

The Rams are falling off a cliff? They're 5-3, one game behind us with 8 games remaining. Both us and the Niners have the toughest part of our schedules remaining as the Niners have to play us twice, along with the Rams once, and the Saints, Ravens, and Packers, not to mention that they play the Cards, a team that nearly beat them last week, after they play us. It doesn't require very much of an imagination to see the Rams winning this division.

We're only halfway through the regular season. A lot can change between now and New Year's.

You mean like how they pounded the Redskins 9-0?

Amazing how the "Rams falling off a cliff" has scared Ramblo into hiding again...

I actually don't see us losing again this year. I know, I'm a homer and always say 19-0 at the start of the season but really, I don't see any team out there that really scares me on our schedule.

Want Niners to demolish the Seachokes and INT Russ 4 times and sack him 6 times and hang a 50 burger

On the other hand you need to win so the Rams can cruise up toward the NFC championship easier

Rams are looking great now after a bump

You need us to lose to have a chance at the wild card and the Niners to lose to have a chance at the division. You suck either way.

The games on a Monday night and the 49ers don't have Russell Wilson as their QB. This will always give us a leg up on any team we play.

There is something about prime time that makes RW go into God-mode out there. I think, with a regular Sunday matchup, the 9ers would win 7 of 10 games. With prime time RW taking snaps, I think that goes closer to the 9ers winning 6 of 10. If this game were being played in Seattle on Monday night, I'd say it was 50-50 or even slightly in the Hawks' favor. But with the 9ers playing really good football right now and the game in Santa Clara, I think the 9ers should still be the favorites.

I'm looking forward to this game more than any other regular season game I can remember in recent history. Go Hawks!

I don't believe in any Prime Time effect, either on a team or an individual, one way or another. The worst play Russell has ever made while playing for us, and perhaps in his entire career, came last season on a Monday night vs. the Vikings.

If they did play better in Prime Time, then I'd suggest that they were sandbagging in the other less visible games.

[RiverDog]

Niners tight end George Kittle didn't practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for Monday night:

Slowed by ankle and knee injuries, 49ers standout tight end George Kittle did not take to the practice field on Friday.

It's unlikely he'll take the playing field on Monday night, as San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan told the media on Saturday that the tight end was doubtful.

Kittles replacement I forget his name but has one vowel is a freak also

I'm not sure who you're talking about. Kittle's backup is a 2nd year player by the name of Ross Dwelley (two vowels) and has 7 receptions for 28 yards and no TD's for the season. The 3rd TE on the roster is Levine Toilolo (4 vowels), who played most of his career for the Falcons and has just two catches on the season.

I mean compared to last year. Their defense isn't near as fearsome. Their QB isn't looking like he's making progress. Their run game isn't near as scary as last year. They're ok this year, but nothing like last year when they were tearing through teams on their way to the Super Bowl. They lost three games all of last year. They've lost three games by the midpoint this year.

Interesting take on it, RD. I know that the Seahawks under Russell have played UP to their competition in Prime Time. I don't want to research it, but I know I'm right. Russell...he just likes the spotlight a little more than 1pm on a Sunday.

Watching Red Zone this morning. Wow, some great games and a big, big thank you to Atlanta. This is why we love football. 5 games down to the last play.

nteresting take on it, RD. I know that the Seahawks under Russell have played UP to their competition in Prime Time. I don't want to research it, but I know I'm right. Russell...he just likes the spotlight a little more than 1pm on a Sunday.

I agree that Russell and the Hawks have played better in Prime Time. There's no denying it. But let's assume for a minute that the Hawks are 8-0 and Russell had a perfect QBR when there was a full moon out. What would you make of that?

Yup. That's why I love NFL football. Although upsets can and do happen in the colleges, they're not nearly as competitive as the NFL.

Gotcha. I figured the Rams were going to suffer from the SB loser's curse. They just sucked too badly in the Super Bowl. Jared Goff is horrible when he's under pressure.

But nevertheless, they're still a very dangerous team and are still in the mix. Any intelligent Rams fan (which leaves out Ramblow) needs to be rooting for us to win Monday night. If the Niners win, they'll have a 3 game lead over both us and the Rams with 7 games to play. We win and the race tightens up.

I always thought Russell could be part vampire, as he knows how to go for the jugular.

Rams don't look good today. Pittsburgh handed them their only TD on a fumble. Wouldn't that be a nice topper of the day.

Game weather looks pretty perfect in the South Bay. Around 50, little wind & clear.

[trents]

"Yup. That's why I love NFL football. Although upsets can and do happen in the colleges, they're not nearly as competitive as the NFL."

I disagree with you there, RD. It seems just the opposite to me. Once you get below the top 5 ranked teams in Division 1 college football, upsets are quite common and that's why I enjoy college ball even more than the NFL.


Concerning the Monday night 'niner game, I'm really concerned because our OL is really banged up. I'm afraid Russ will be parallel to the ground too often for him to be effective.

College football is heavily tilted to the southeast, specifically the SEC. The lack of a true college football playoff hurts that sport immensely. There's no way a team like Baylor or Minnesota should be able to go through a Power 5 conference undefeated and still miss the playoffs, but if the Bears and Gophers run the table and win their conference championship, at least one of them is going to get left out. Oregon might win their last 11 games in a row and not make it. For that reason alone, it is not nearly as competitive as the NFL.

The OL has proven to be pretty resilient this season. We have better depth now than at any time during the Pete Carroll era. I'm a lot more worried about the defense than I am the offense.

Point is that I do not believe the fact that he/we have played well in Prime Time is a good predictor of future performances. If he plays well tomorrow night, it will be because he's a good quarterback overall, not just in Prime Time.

Boy, no kidding! As I've been saying, Goff doesn't handle pressure well at all. He finished with a QBR of 13.4, and the math doesn't include the fumble he lost. The Rams defense accounted for 9 points, their offense 3.

[trents]

The Rams didn't look good today, but the Saints looked even worse. Sheesh! What happened there? Losing to the Falcons? What's up with that?

[jshawaii22]

Jared Goff, last 16 games:

362/608 (63.1%)
4,256 yards (7.0 Y/A)
17 TD
16 INT
79.2 passer rating
28 sacks, 219 sack yards lost, **5.75 ANY/A**
3 rushing TDs
16 fumbles

So... Rams are really exposed this year with Gurley's issues making them very vulnerable.

[obiken]

The Rams didn't look good today, but the Saints looked even worse. Sheesh! What happened there? Losing to the Falcons? What's up with that?

Two separate games, the Rams you are spot on, the Saints may have to transition back to TB, till DB completely heals. Till he gets that thong off his hand.

It's more than that, Obi. The Falcons showed a pass rush that they haven't shown all season. They had 7 QB sacks coming into the game yet Sunday, they put Brees on the ground 6 times and hit him 11 other times. A lot of blame to spread around in that one.

That was a big loss as far as our chances go as the Saints are the only NFC team we've lost to.

[Hawktawk]

Upset Sunday for the most part. Saints game proves in the NFL throw out the line in division games between long time rivals like these.

I hate playing teams like Atlanta. They are Pist, tired of losing, proud men who went on the road and played out of their mind.I remember being in the Hawks nest in 2013 watching 0-8 Tampa Bay jump on us 21-0 before the Hawks all time comeback win.A bad team like that looks at a great team as their Super Bowl.

I told a few people after we barely held off the Steelers with Rudolph in at QB that he's got a stroke and is going to win some games...The Rams...wow. If Zuerlein hits it a foot left a few weeks ago who knows what might have been but that looks like a team in complete decline, a 127 million dollar QB who is seeing the rush instead of the field, no courage whatsoever.Mcveigh suddenly looks less like a genius and more like a young coach trying to adapt to the shortcomings of his QB. I notice Ramblo is a bit scarce today

The only game that really didn't go our way yesterday was Carolina coming up inches short in Green Bay.Also pretty shocking watching KC lose to Ryan Tannehill and the Titans.Browns won. Jets beat Giants. I wonder if Eli can get his job back?

Really excited about tonight. IMO its the biggest prime time MNF game with the 9ers since 2013. I dont know what to expect really. Seattle has been squeaking by while SF has dominated the competition other the AZ game. To be fair a few of the teams Seattle squeaked by won yesterday.

GO HAWKS!!!!

[trents]

I note that the Falcons really throttled Alvin Kamara. I think that was a big factor. That dude really normally picks up a lot of all purpose yards and is extremely difficult to get down on the ground after contact. Lots of after contact yards. Tough little monkey.

[jshawaii22]

Raise you hand if you have Clowney and Poona as the #1A & B stars so far?

[trents]

I hate, absolutely hate those new rules about contact to the head and shoulders "of a defenseless player." Head yes, but shoulders is ridiculous. The rules committee has taken the shoulders out of a game that is supposed to be a broad shouldered game.

And do you think it's possible for the Hawks to turn the ball over again in this game? Sheesh! Jermaine Ifedi should have fallen to the ground immediately upon securing the ball instead of trying to run with it.

[jshawaii22]

yes he should of. Reminds me of Leon Lett a few years ago, in the snow. I can't believe we're relying on a FG again.

[Aseahawkfan]

Crazy game.

That win was insane.

[jshawaii22]

My dogs think I'm going crazy yelling "Don't Throw it, Russell.." but he did. Great win for the team and i don't care if they don't think this was a 'rivalry' game, it sure felt like one. Wow.
