i was actually really surprised the 9ers had some many important guys playing yesterday -- Bosa, Trent Williams, Deebo, etc. It was hardly their practice squad. Basically, both teams had their QB/RB out. With the Rams also having Kupp, AD out.
Williams played 12 snaps, all on the first drive (when the 49ers marched down the field for a touchdown). Deebo played 20 snaps (basically 2 drives). Aiyuk played 23 snaps. Bosa played 8 snaps. Fred Warner played 12 snaps. Not surprisingly, those guys all played during the portion of the game where it was lopsided in favor of the 49ers. The 49ers held the ball for 21 minutes in the first half while the Rams had it for 9, and the total yards were 274 to 108. Let's not pretend it was at all close when the 49ers had half of their good players playing.
ok, now do the Rams who didn't play and the snaps for usual starters that played. Hint: It's just as much, if not more that didn't play. I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Yes, the Rams basically won an equally played spring training game. But it was NOT a game of Rams #1's against 9er #2s. You are very much misrepresenting things if that's your point.
I never said it was a game of the Rams #1s vs. the 49ers #2s. I just pointed out that Rams fans getting excited about winning the second half against the 49ers 2nd and 3rd stringers isn’t something very noteworthy.
Just let them have it. The streak was a bigger deal to them.
There’s a very real possibility they could meet in the second round. At the risk of stating the obvious, that’s the one that matters.
It would have to be the conference final. 49ers play either the Eagles or the Buccs for the second round. If the Rams get that far, it will be an interesting rematch with everyone available(barring injuries).
I thought they re-seed after the first round such that the 49ers will get the lowest seed remaining (which still could be Eagles or Bucs depending on how the games go this weekend). Is that not how they do it anymore?
They don't reseed, but yeah the 49ers should play the lowest seed, I think. I was thrown off by a bracket I saw where it implied the winner of Eagles vs Buccaneers will move on to the 49ers.
ok, i misunderstood you...since you only referenced the 9ers practice squad. I agree, the game was meaningless for what they truly are head-to-head if they meet later on. As a huuuge Ram fan, I know the 9ers would wipe the floor with us.
Trade one of those red zone FGs for TDs and it might be a different game. Credit to Stafford for taking some brutal shots and keep throwing strikes.
Unfortunately the lions entire team folded harder than the Kings with a 2-goal lead.
