and the hawks got the other 60% right
Nah I think Seatrtle was 39% and then the other two teams split the 20 leftover.
Yall are beating Atlanta, that's a sure bet.

Not a sure bet. They have to travel across the country for a 1pm est game after traveling back from the east coast the week prior.
They also just put their kicker and best pass rusher on IR.
Not to mention, Atlanta will be the best passing offense the Seahawks will have faced this year with Roddy/Julio and Tony...not to mention Harry Douglas is decent out of the slot.
The Hawks have the advantage running the ball, that's a given. Atlanta can't stop the run and can't run the ball. I think, though, Gonzalez is going to put a ton of pressure on those Linebackers and the Falcons are confident that their receivers can win one on one matchups with the Corners of Seattle.
It's gonna be a good game. I'll be down at the dome tailgating with my Niners gear on, so we'll see what happens.
I wouldn't be surprised if either team wins...although, if Seattle wins this city is gonna implode.
But yeah...fukk the Seacocks. Get the fukk outta our thread.

No idea why everyone's calling it a guarantee that the Seahawks will win this week. Atlanta's at home, that D gets turnovers, and that passing offense has been prolific. It's a toss up IMO.
The more I think about it, it's closer than I think, but still got Seattle winning.
Atlanta had the easiest schedule in the NFL, so no faith in them and Seattle matches up perfectly against them.
The only thing that made me second guess was the 1pm start time which is 10am Seattle time. But our 49ers have overcome that shyt before and it's the fukking playoffs.
Interesting note
Ever since we started running these Q and Pistol formations our run game has fallen off greatly.
Frank Gore was averaging 5.3 ypc and 83.6 YPG with the 9 games in the traditional offense
When we went towards these newer formations Gore averaged 3.9 YPC and 65 YPG.
An interesting note for 49ers and Packers fans considering Gore's possible production on Saturday night

Much rather he stay in the pocket
I hope our corners continue to play 1 on 1... Williams, Shields, and Hayward have been great really since the Saints game early in the season.
But those guys tackling runners on the second level

Only one really getting to the second level has been LMJ really.
Gore has been a lot of 3 yard carries lately.
If we beat you guys it`ll have to be through the air I feel, as much as I think the strategy is to attack on the ground and keep the ball from Rodgers, I don't think we're well equipped to do that at this point.

one of the bigger reasons I dont like the 'pistol' formation (well its not real pistol formation)
Same here, I honestly think we got out of hand with some of the "creative" stuff.
Last year we were doing creative runs but out of traditional formations. To me the whole pistol stuff remindsm e of the Wildcat of years back. These things work for brief periods, they never bring championships and they fade out once the league schemes for them
And when you look at what has happened to our offense since we implemented these newer formations, Vernon has completely disappeared and Frank has struggled greatly. 2 of our biggest play makers have been marginalized.
I said it for weeks now, a lot of uncertainty surrounding this team. It's hard to feel confident going into this game.

Empire strikes back
they went with it imo cuz kaeps most comfortable in it...but they really need to run more plays with him under center...those fumbled snaps are worrisome, but not an excuse to run gimmicky shyt most of the time.
Yep, and they need to see Gore's run production goes down by damn near 1.5 yards due to these formations.
I think they're beneficial to guys like LMJ, but right now Frank has to be a big part of the plan to win playoff games. And if it means putting in some meat and potatoes type run plays, please do it.
I think our best chance Saturday is hope our defense gives us all they got and Justin plays like superman

its not guarantee in any way, but seattle matches up extremely well
the ATL defense is nice, but they actually arent that amazing at stopping the run. they are more of a force TOs and pass defense. but hags dont turn the ball over.
falcons give up lots of yards on the ground, and are like 3-3 in games theyve allowed 150+ rush yards. seattle can run the ball well
on other side, seahawks allowed 300+ pass yards only twice this year, once against the pats.
falcons offense has been one dimensional to say the least and theyre going against best secondary in the league in full force.
so unless falcons run game steps up or their D forces a few turnovers...I dont see ATL winning the game
