At this point, the NFC title is in SF's hands. Key game is the Baltimore game. That's the hardest one left on the schedule. They own the tie breaker with Philly, so as long as they stay tied with them at the end of the season, they get the first round bye, which is huge for the team who gets it.

Yeah, but Philly's hard game is tonight. If Philly loses, the 49ers will have a two game (A game, plus the tie breaker) lead going into their hardest game of the season next week. That's why I'm rooting for Seattle tonight, especially now that Dallas lost. Get that extra cushion and really control your own destiny with at least 1 loss in mind.
Seattle needs to win the game for their own PO chances. ONly 2 WC spots left after the East 2nd place.
6-7, so if they win out they get to 10-7. Lose 1 game and it's 9-8. And then it's tie breaker city. They are 0-2 vs Rams so lose that. Have not played any of the other WC contending teams.
Min is 7-7 have Det 2 times and GB. Likely to split Det so I don't see them better than 9-8
GB is 6-8, have South teams and Min. Need to win out.
LA is 7-7, but have SF in the final week, so likely max out at 9-8
NO/TB at 7-7. NO/Rams play each other, so could knock 1 of them out.
But, the tie breaker scenario is going to be messy if Seattle does not win out.
Seattle with the W. If SF can beat Baltimore, they win the NFC so long as they split their final 2 games vs Wash and LAR. If they do beat Bal and Wash, If they lose to Bal, then they have to go full out to win their final 2 games as they own the H2H tie breaker vs the NFC East.

I'm so tired of Farhan. But I also realize if Yamamoto didn't want to play for us even after a boat load of money, then nothing he can do. I hate this team man...
Imagine how weird it must be for Farhan and Co., literally bringing the BRINKS truck around to pay them and they all want to go to one team, the rivals.
Has some feelz like the late nineties/early aughts Red Wings teams.
I can only hope that everything goes tragically and horrifically wrong for the Dodgers. But that's nothing new for me, I feel that way every year.

Still control their nfc destiny if they win out. But means that missed an opportunity to give Williams and CMC week 18 off vs rams.
Ravens needed 3 lucky interceptions and 5 total to beat the 49ers, who basically had everything go wrong. Not really that bad.
And it looks like Trent Williams avoided serious injury, thankfully...everything will be fine. Go Niners.
Even if it's as bad as you think it is with that game, it's just one game and it happens. They just need to adjust to how they should play teams like the Browns and Ravens who rely on their defense to create more scoring opportunities and run to CMC more especially early on. 49ers won a Super Bowl after getting spanked 40-8 in '94.

I pictured Woody Harrelson and I couldn't remember him playing for the Met's. At first I was like oh, this is some serious Mandala Effect. Then I remembered I wasn't in the OT thread and it clicked... I pulled a reverse @Spacemania

Only beat bad teams, and when you play them, run up the score and pad stats. Get to the playoffs, and get completely exposed. That was ugly.

I thought it was a thing of beauty!
I got immense joy out of watching Jerry Jones crying afterwards…

Oh I'm not complaining. Just didn’t think they’d get blown out.
