Must Win Games
-
More than the standings I would put team cohesion as a reason the game is important.
At 1-2 coming off a loss to the defending NFC Champs we already have seen a little "fraying" in our rookie HC and Sophomore QB. Especially if the loss follows the same pattern of the 2 to date... if we leave BLT 1-3 that likely spreads.
And that's the last thing this team needs...
If we can keep our shit together thru the next 4 weeks (the Week 8, Pat game), then I see rally opportunities.

Aren't they all must win at this point?
Yea, pretty much. Y’all remember 2007? That was THE WORST.
Gotta shoot for 11-5. One game at a time. -
it was a tough first half. Was just watching some niners-arizona game tonight -
geez - arizona was going with quick plays, runs, getting by, got a td...
then tried to throw downfield, the nt? makes their center look like a fence post,
Kyler Murry has no time, evades a tackle, spins and gets sacked after he ran way
backwards. It was...3rd and 29 after that debacle. Then he throws a terrible int right to them, but they
dropped it.
The Browns are on the easier part of their season, meaning their oline should be holding up, and the offense
will be getting back on track.

Freddie a bad Coach? Let's talk about Cliff waz-his name. 4 seconds left in the half. Niners go for it with 4th and goal on the one. The Birds stuff them. Half over. BUT no!!!! Their dumb azz coach calls a TO before the ball was snapped!!! 49ers say thank you very much, and Jimmy G tosses a TD pass on the gift TO. Could have been 14-7 at the half- make that 21-7 thanks to some DUMB crap by the Cardinals coach.

And it was the difference in the game. What really astonished me was watching a good red zone team execute. I've seen us try to score with no time left and you could just TELL it was going to be a cluster. With the 49's, you knew they'd score and they did. They needed several first downs, they got them. Winning football. I'm so envious of this team because they play EXACTLY like I want our team to play.
I totally realize we're playing an unknown QB this week, but for those who don't Brandon Allen I can tell you a little bit about him. He's a bit more athletic than you'd think, he's definitely not a guy who holds onto the ball, and he's pretty safe with it. He's not going to wow you with his arm power, but make no mistake, he WILL beat you if you turn it over and give up some dumb scores. If the Broncos' defense shuts us down, or if we shit down our leg again, we'll lose, and we'll lose big.
Now, I don't see that happening. I still think we win huge, like 41-13. We shut down Lindsay last year, and we'll do it again Sunday. We get them into 3rd and long, we win.

Late in the game also wasn’t managed the best by Kliff.
The 49ers BARELY got a 1st down on 3rd and 3 while up 3 points and trying to milk the game. There was 2:19 seconds. Running back Tevin Coleman stopped clock by running out of bounds. Kliff challenged the spot, which was extremely questionable as they still had 2 timeouts AND the 2 minute warning.
They lost the challenge.
Arizona also dropped back in coverage on third down twice on that drive instead of bringing any extra heat. Jimmy G is the real deal when he has enough time.. Jimmy G was clutch. -

Fuck the 49ers. Had enough of them in the 80s/90s.
Seahawks beat them a week from Monday.

Agree except for the "watch out" for this year's playoffs. Even with homefield, there's that experience factor to consider.
Next year? Watch out....

Jimmy G has been rock since he took the field as an NFL starter. He's 16-2.
I would've preferred they had gotten him over just about every other draft prospect. Those years under B&B had to have helped immensely.

I thought that the Patriots were going to regret trading him away, but apparently Tom Brady drinks the blood of virgin girls or something and will play at a HOF level until he's 60.

Actually, he boils and consumes the fat of unbaptized children. Err, well, actually, that is "Flying ointment" for witches and warlocks.

And word is that if you drive late at night you can locate his house by the sound of these words, "Double, Double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble." So he's both a Satanist and a Plagiarist. I mean who knew this is where the bubble screen was really invented??

Cincinnati Bengals FIRSTENERGY STADIUM MUST WINArizona Cardinals STATE FARM STADIUM MUST WIN
Baltimore Ravens FIRSTENERGY STADIUM MUST WINCincinnati Bengals PAUL BROWN STADIUM Please Win
-----------------------------
IMO, we have 7 must win games. These are teams that we should be superior to and, on paper, 'should' beat. - With the exception of Baltimore, but I just feel that we have to split with them so I'm calling the 2nd last game a must win. (really, you need to be able to play 50/50 with your divisional opponents...or you should pretty much tank for next season)
Then there are 5 Please Win games. These are other teams that, if we won, it wouldn't really be considered an upset. - Included are divisional road games (which are tough) against what is perceived to be weaker teams (be it because they're not that good or because they've lost their QB).
Then there are 4 games that I really don't expect us to win.
Now, if we want to make the playoffs we're going to have to get about 10 wins. I believe that the final 3 quarters have enough winnable games for us to get to 10.
- There's No Need For Panicking at this point in time.
Miami Dolphins FIRSTENERGY STADIUM MUST WIN
Pittsburgh Steelers HEINZ FIELD
Please WinMUST WIN (because they're beatable with all of their key injuries)
Cincinnati Bengals FIRSTENERGY STADIUM MUST WINArizona Cardinals STATE FARM STADIUM MUST WIN
Baltimore Ravens FIRSTENERGY STADIUM MUST WIN (we probably have to win out....but perhaps could sneak into the playoffs with a loss)Cincinnati Bengals PAUL BROWN STADIUM
Please WinMust Win (because they're very bad this year)Because we have 6 losses, we're probably going to have to win out if we want a shot at the playoffs. The teams in front of us in the wild card hunt are not really losing at the rate we'd like to see. That Denver loss hurt.
THIS WEEK: We've gotta beat Pittsburgh as they're a game in front of us for the wild card.
The Titans play the Colts. Both teams are a game ahead of us. (Titans have the more difficult schedule remaining)
The Raiders play at the Chiefs. The Raiders are also a game ahead of us.
The Bills are the front runner. They play at the Cowboys. (they also have the Ravens and Patriots on their schedule, so they 'could' get to 6 losses)
---------- We have to keep winning or it really doesn't matter what anyone else does. We will be IN PITTSBURGH this week. The crowd will be fired up against us. The Steelers will be fired up against us. It's gonna be tough, no matter who their QB is. We need to go 1-0 this week.
At this point in time......there is still hope.....
