Your Seattle/San Fran Wild Card Game Open Thread

Hey bettors, thinking about laying money on the Bills tomorrow? I stumbled upon this nugget during my wanderings-home teams favored by 9+ in the wild card round are 11-0. This stat goes back 30 years. Don’t say I never did anything for you.

To The Game!

Seahawks/Niners:

-Man It Up: Seattle will no doubt have noticed that in their week 15, 21-13 loss Purdy was 11/12 vs zone coverage but just 6/14 against man D.

-Another path to success for the Niners is to find a way to attack Jimmie Ward. He allows an 81%(!) catch rate against the folks he’s defending.

-The Niners swept the season series and home teams playing against a team for the third time are 14-9.

-I do like it when two stats dovetail into one another and it spells disaster for a team. Seattle’s D is 31st in surrendering yards after the catch while San Fran has once again led the league (six years running, btw) in that very same category. I’m guessing you’ll see big chunk plays and plenty of frustration on the faces of Seahawks defenders.

-Geno Needs To Hoof It: In recent losses Geno has run for 13, -1 and 2 yards. In victories he’s gained 38, 48 and 49 yards.

-Let’s Talk About The Weather: Their is a flood watch and a Wind Advisory in effect for Santa Clara at present. Though it’s expected to taper off this afternoon I’d expect some sloppy conditions.

-Rookie qb’s starting their first playoff game are 8-18. Those that have won include Russell Wilson, T.J. Yates(?), Sanchez, Flacco, Ben and Shaun King.

Enjoy the game and come out swinging!

King Hippo

King Hippo

Mr. Ayo

We’re on to the draft! Again.

King Hippo

Do we still have the “G.O.A.T. Fucker” gif handy? If so, I beg Scotchy to use it MNF!

Doktor Zymm

Purdy is keeping himself together like a pro!

King Hippo

He has that “100% Necessary Short Memory” for a QB, without being stupid.

Recovery Whiskey

And thus concludes the part where we don’t die

King Hippo

Truthers sure are making ’em work for it. Not ready to call this over yet, neither.

Petronel

Mr. Entirely Relevant!

fleshwound_NPG

kinda a fun game while it lasted

King Hippo

Criminy, what a ballsy throw.

ThePirateSloth

Way to ruin the mood, Jesus.

Schrodinger’s 69!

Recovery Whiskey

What the actual F is that thing

Recovery Whiskey

Our ass is in the jackpot now

fleshwound_NPG

ah a back breaking turnover in scoring position, surely this wont hurt

Doktor Zymm

Kinda sad I didn’t head out to the game, but also enjoying my comfy chair and beverage that isn’t a $20 plastic cup of beer

King Hippo

there’s just sommet about NOT LEAVING THE HOUSE! 😀

But just F one goat…

Petronel

That’s more like it

King Hippo

the Spicy Meatball’s a-goootttt it!

Recovery Whiskey

How can you be downfield on a 2 second drop

Mr. Ayo

BLEEEERGH!

Game Time Decision

The Narrative said so

King Hippo

Certainly more of a game than expected, fair do

fleshwound_NPG

metcalf is going meast mode

Recovery Whiskey

Never go against Pete Carroll with conspiracy on the line. Or trolling west coast coaches half his age.

fleshwound_NPG

barefoot, the natty ice of wines

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Also the reason why Jim Tomsula isn’t allowed to eat in restaurants.

WCS

Not the only reason, but, yes, a reason.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Good point, “a” not “the”.

King Hippo

That “no shirt, no shoes” rule, too.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If Jonathan Abram was still wearing a Raiders uniform there’s no way in a million years that ankle twist would have gone uncalled.

Doktor Zymm

They aren’t gonna challenge that? Doesn’t matter I guess

ThePirateSloth

Tanner Muse is an inspiration for someone out there

Gumbygirl

I see what you did there!

Doktor Zymm

That DOES look pretty dirty

Recovery Whiskey

Don’t talk about my mom like that

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Fox is very studiously avoiding showing a replay of the dirty play there.

ThePirateSloth

Haha imagine an Aikman, Romo, Daryl Johnston booth.

fleshwound_NPG

cowboys dont do multiple games in january anymore

Recovery Whiskey

Don’t blitz a rookie QB you might make him nervous

Recovery Whiskey

This HOX team would be so good with an actual NFL defense

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Kristina Pink” is the porniest name I’ve heard in a long time.

herodotus450

Now we go to Kristina Pink, to tell us why these 2 guys stink.

Game Time Decision

Cause they didn’t wash their face in my sink
My sink

Recovery Whiskey

Look at all those empty red seats. Santa Clara, so hot right now

The Maestro

Bradshaw looks like he fucking HATES not being able to sit at the studio desk for this spot.

Honestly, same.

ThePirateSloth

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy does a Monday night playoff game exist. Why.

Gumbygirl

It’s raining here too!

Mr. Ayo

Ppl forget the HOX are 2d half team too.

Adjust your live bets accordingly.

fleshwound_NPG

kyle is gonna have to kill a live chicken at halftime to rid the 28-3 curse that is still over him

Recovery Whiskey

HOX lead at halftime

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The ghost of That’s My Raiders! apparently still inhabits the Bay Area.

Doktor Zymm

If they end up losing by 2 we’ll know we need to call the Church of Satan to do a non-denominational exorcism

ThePirateSloth

WHOOOOOOOOO

fleshwound_NPG

lol wat

ThePirateSloth

That was certainly stupid by Ward

Mr. Ayo

Santa Clara, not so smart there.

Petronel

Oh FFS

Recovery Whiskey

Da Bears never should’ve let that guy walk

Col. Duke LaCross

Nope. Fuck John Fox.

Doktor Zymm

Friend of mine was saying that the Bears might be good next year because they have the top pick and a bunch of cap space, but then I pointed out that they are the Bears

Recovery Whiskey

Oof. Logic and facts

Col. Duke LaCross

For the first time in my life though, it kinda feels like they have a plan and not total idiots in charge. They’ll still probably screw it up, but we’re in uncharted territory.

fleshwound_NPG

im scared either way. they screw this up or somehow get this all right and break the seventh seal and/or open a very, very dark portal to somewhere

Doktor Zymm

If they trade down and draft an O-lineman or receiver in the first round I might, just MIGHT, take a hot second to reconsider my viewpoint

Recovery Whiskey

Will the McCaskeys allow front office competency from Kevin Warren?

Col. Duke LaCross

I don’t think he’s gonna be involved in football ops much. I think he’s mostly there to make sure the new stadium deal gets done.

fleshwound_NPG

to be fair, 4D chess caused a green bay playoff loss!

fleshwound_NPG

i leave for a few to grab dinner and kyle desperately wants us to remember the 28-3 curse is still hovering over him

Doktor Zymm

Does the vanity plate say ‘mangina’?

The Maestro

I drive an Outback, and this tracks.

Brick Meathook

They say the Jeep Ranchero is the Lesbian Cadillac

Recovery Whiskey

Let us have a little fun. The Niners are better everyone knows it

The Maestro

We, uh…. we have a game.
