I am going to need quite a bit of Buffalo Trace to get through this one, but stranger things have happened on a short week. The big question here is "can we play the 49ers like we did the opening drive against the Rams, after they went 3 and out?" for 80% of the game? If so then I believe there is a small chance we keep this game close to the end.
49ers 31
Seahawks 24

Buffalo Trace, huh? I'll probably be drinking some cheap California wine, hopefully spoils for the victor.
I think we lose this one by at least two touchdowns. I don't think there's any way in the lower reaches that our OL is able to win the battle up front, and their offense looks like it's really starting to click, with Deebo finally healthy and Purdy back in a groove.
Niners 27, Hawks 10.

I got into wines when I moved to Arizona, and there are some pretty good wines at affordable prices, but recently due to getting older (soon to be 46) I have to watch the sugar and carbs so I have been on a Coke Zero + Buffalo Trace, or Wild Turkey. Lately it has been working for me, and the way the Hawks have played it comes handy

4XPIPS wrote:I agree. Even with a healthy Geno this week I wouldn't see us winning, but given the injury concern it would be best to rest him till he is fully ready to play again, especially on a short week.

None of us are in a position to judge, but my impression is that he'll be fine. It's a bruise on his right elbow, and unlike a tendon or ligament, it's unlikely to be aggravated or injured any further. This is a big game, so if he's able to go, I say play him.
Agent 86 wrote:I see this as the type of game where after it's over there is going to be alot of talk about the O-line/D-line play. And that talk is going to be how inferior we are to the 49'ers at both spots. We all know it's a huge reason why you win consistently in this league, we had it for a while, and now we don't, and haven't for quite some time.
I am typically not a negative fan, but I don't see us winning tonight. Maybe I am giving the 49'ers too much credit, but I think they are better at pretty much every position over us, and their front 7 is far superior, and where they will probably dominate tonight. Purdy will probably have lots of time to dissect our secondary as well.
Man, I hate feeling this way, but I think we are what we are. Any given game is what I have to lean on tonight.....

I guess we can all hope for a second half comeback.
Abe Lucas riding the bench. Our guys getting outplayed on both sides of the ball.

Old but Slow wrote:The state of this team is not good. They seem to trending toward the Mora era. Geno has shot his wad, and the offensive line is struggling. Tackling is supposed to be one of Pete's strong teaching areas, but apparently the players aren't listening. I is gonna get ugly. Okay, uglier.
In response to earlier comments, I am a craft brew beer guy, and in Bellingham we have about 14 craft breweries. And, most are very good, as there is so much competition here, that they have to be. I like a variety of beer styles, especially strong ales like a barleywine or Imperial stout, but mostly I drink lagers and pilsners, and Winter beers when available (like now). And, as far as warts on my ass (or arse), I turned 80 on Election Day, but Yoder missed it. Tut, tut. I love you, man.
It is puzzling that the team has not drafted a QB in a while (7th round hardly counts), while it seems wise to take one nearly every year.
I guess that completes my monthly post.

I remember Kenny Easley talking about OBJ's one handed catch, saying that if Steve Largent could have worn those gloves, that he would have caught that ball with his little finger.

4XPIPS wrote:RD, give the young man some credit, its not just catching it one handed with 5 fingers, it's leaping forward and body control and catching in stride. Fred Biletnikoff is in the Hall of Fame, and he was known as Mr Stickum. Tell me Fred isn't a hall of famer if he didn't have stickum? Did the gloves help? yes of course, but it still takes concentration and skill to make that play at today's game speed.
