Game 16: Packers @ Bears - Sunday, January 3rd , 3:25PM CT

Sf 1st and 10 at Seattle 12

Seattle is losing 6-9 to the 49ers. People under estimate how difficult these games are. If you expect a blowout every game, you will be often disappointed.

[young guns]

Bears game play seems to be throw short to Kevin kings side and pick up a few yards as he's 10 yards off the line all the time.

[CheezWizHed]

To be fair, many of them have been to the RB, that he isn't covering. But yeah, 10 yds off the WR is odd.

Looks like Seattle won’t be winning the Super Bowl either... next!

He might as well change his number to zero and put crosshairs in the middle.

I feel like every game we're predicting blowouts, they turn into nail biters. These are guys with professional football players. Nothing is guaranteed.

 

So I agree. I don't take any NFL opponent for granted enough to anticipate a blowout. This isn't like college football where there might be an enormous disparity in talent between two teams.

[PinaMadness]

16-6 Niners.

[OldHeidelberg]

Saints blowing out the Panthers so Seattle has little to play for. At this point I will take it

[wildcat83]

Feels like 25 of the Bears 27 pass attempts have been 5 yards or less and we just keep playing off coverage. That's not on King, I'm sure he's not just choosing to do it, he's playing what's called.

[SeaBass]

MVS is not the #5 or #6 WR on this team. Let's find capable replacements before cutting him, yeah?

If only there had been WR talent available this past draft.

That's not even close to the point. I mean sure, but last I checked they didn't draft one. So how does looking backwards do anything for the now? Cut the guy that's getting open? Where are Lazard and ESB with their zero catches and one target each getting us?

Plus, it is Packer/Bears - rivalry games are hard. You play a team often enough that you know their tendencies and it is much harder to surprise them.

If they lose this the MVS drop will be the reason.

I wouldn't love backing into the one seed by losing to the Bears, but I would take it over the alternative.

Naw.

[wildcat83]

If they lose this the MVS drop will be the reason.

 

It was a gigantic momentum swing. All of his drops seem to be. They either come on 3rd downs where he is past the sticks, or on big plays that he's essentially dropping points. He's like the anti-clutch at times.

Because it isn't looking backwards. Everyone knew the WR position needed to be addressed going into the draft. MVS didn't all of the sudden start dropping passes this year. Instead we went with the usual "Do something, Aaron" philosophy again.

[adambr2]

It's Preston's penalty. It's MVS's drop. It's Austin's fumble. It's all of that.

 

Let's hope we can overcome it all and win anyway.

They squandered 2 more downs after that but he took away about a 95% chance to win and now here we are. They are big and I agree often at the worst times.

[nodakfan17]

We are not going to get any help from the 49ers. If we piss around and lose this game, we are going to be playing next week.

 

What gives you the impression that there wont be ANY help from the 49ers? Defense I still dont think has allowed a TD and they seem to be in a dogfight atleast.

I’m conditioned to believe that if there’s an opportunity for Seattle to get lucky, they will get lucky.

[young guns]

His knee was down before he rolled so he should be a yard short.

[brewcrewdue80]

Missed holding should be 3rd and 15

 

Awful. Huge miss on that knowing MT has a 6 yard pass radius. Thats points.

[OldHeidelberg]

Seahawks quickly first and goal

[PinaMadness]

Please stuff this run!

[pacopete4]

Banging on the “Packers needed to draft a WR” drum in game 16 as they’re playing for the #1 seed and have been lighting up the scoreboard all season? Good stuff.
