It’s not all that unhealthy. The San Francisco 49ers must play a troublesome schedule; they simply occurred on the perfect workforce within the NFL… in that greatest workforce’s stadium. No disgrace in that. The very fact the 49ers have misplaced each of their video games by three factors ought to let you know simply how good this workforce is. There are nonetheless a whole lot of questions, however a deep postseason run shouldn’t be one among them.
However in fact, there’s the division at giant and people pesky Seattle Seahawks. They don’t get to take part in The Gauntlet. Until you depend internet hosting the Minnesota Vikings as a gauntlet. In any case, the Seahawks are once more answerable for the West, and in case you didn’t hear about it, you’ll by way of the week. Let’s take a look at the division:
Arizona Cardinals (3-8-1)/Los Angeles Rams (7-5)
The Cardinals acquired the dwelling daylights beat out of them on Sunday when the Los Angeles Rams got here to city. Contemplating that is the Cardinals and the Rams, I’m typically questioning precisely why the 49ers had so many issues with the Cardinals.
Kyler Murray went 19 for 34 for 163 yards and an interception. No touchdowns. Wow.
The Rams get one other win, and so they simply gained’t go away. They nonetheless have offensive line points, however Jared Goff had a greater day going 32 for 43 and 424 yards. Once more, the 49ers are a greater workforce, however why they’ll’t do that to divisional opponents does make you increase an eyebrow.
The Cardinals at the moment are eradicated from playoff competition, so we don’t want to fret about them doing something. The Rams are nonetheless within the hunt for that final wild card spot.
Seattle Seahawks (10-2)
Notice to the Monday Evening Soccer crew: I respect Russell Wilson, I feel he’s an MVP candidate, I feel he’s legit, however please, for the love of soccer gods, by no means, ever, ever put the microphone on him for a first-rate time sport. Once more. Ever.
Okay, now that that’s out of the way in which. The Seahawks did what Seattle Seahawks do: let the Vikings are available, get a lead, then got here again to win. This included the same old shenanigans of the Vikings having a fumble on the primary play after a kickoff and dropping operating again Dalvin Cook dinner on the identical play. They then misplaced their left deal with shortly thereafter. I do know persons are ticked, however all of us knew how this sport would go. I attempted telling all of you.
The win places the Seahawks into first place within the West, and the 49ers fall again to the fifth seed within the wild card. If the 49ers need any probability of internet hosting a playoff sport, they should win out.
Into Week 14
This an enormous week for everybody within the NFC West. The 49ers full The Gauntlet with a sport towards the New Orleans Saints, a workforce the place a loss can have some giant impression on the playoffs. The Saints are combating for that treasured first-round bye, and the 49ers have to hold tempo with the Seahawks if they need any probability of profitable the division.
The Seahawks and Rams face off in Los Angeles. If there ever was a time to root for the Rams, now’s the time. The Rams misplaced to Seattle by a discipline purpose in Seattle, and so they appear to be getting some momentum, so hopefully, they’ll do the 49ers a favor. However don’t depend on it.
And the Cardinals have the Steelers. The Pittsburgh Steelers. If that’s the one sport on in your market, I’m sorry.
