We must Beat SF On Oct. 8…

[lopey]

Let’s get there first before we talk about SF. We have a few games before then that we must win.

 

[Proof]

As has been noted in another thread, we have a brutal schedule down the stretch of this season. On the contrary, SF has a cupcake of a schedule. As I see it, they have 4 potential losses on their schedule: Dallas (at home), Jacksonville (away), Philadelphia (away), and Washington (away). I included Washington because they play Washington in late December and Washington could arguably be playing for a playoff spot. I guess the argument could also be made that they could drop one of their divisional games to the Rams.

My point is this: SF will probably lose only 3-4 games this year, which means we can only afford to lose the same amount of games. Whoever wins that game between us on Oct. 8 could very well end up winning home field advantage in the playoffs in a head-to-head tie.

I think Seahawks and Bengals can present problems for them as well. But yes, would be nice to just take care of business regardless.

We need to heat Arizona

After what the fans of this franchise have been through in the last quarter century I can’t at all believe any one of you would get ahead of yourselves.

Win this week.

they need to treat all division and conference games like playoff games, there's just too much competition in the NFC for playoff spots to assume they're going to get one. Winning the NFC East should be the highest priority.

Winning the battle against them during the regular season won’t mean anything if we can’t win the war against them in the playoffs. However, the game against them in week five will be a good barometer as to how good the Cowboys really are. That’s shaping up to be a real brawl.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

That game on Oct 8th is going to be the real benchmark. If they win it, Jerry will need to trade for one more piece either a running back or another stud defensive star to put the hammer down.

Win this week.

Completely different team and mindset. I don't see them laying any eggs with how motivated Parsons is. This team is locked in.

Who is a 9er slobberer here? The fact that people think they are very good is not being a slobberer,imo people saw what happened the last two times we've played them and choked,imo this game will be a major confidence booster for the team if we win..this game is very important for more than just standings.

Nothing wrong with good team appreciation. But then there is over the top as well .yes there are slobberer posters.

 

[Blackspider214]

How is anyone thinking beyond AZ?

Well for one, we aren't players or coaches. We don't gameplan or prepare. We can look ahead as far as we want.

Beating them in October is not near as important as beating them in the post season

I get it. It's a message board. Fan is short for fanatic. What I mean is that the NFL landscape changes week to week... injuries, surprises, upsets etc. We can cherish the NFL season for a few short months. Anything can happen any week. A seemingly formidable opponent on the schedule in December could look way different when we get there. I'm just thinking get to 3-0 and savoring the game week ahead of us. Carry on with who we're playing in the SB.

I gotta tell you there are no must wins in a regular season game they all count they all get accumulated and at the end of the day all you want to do is make the playoffs.

If the games get accumulated, and you're one game shy of making the playoffs and/or winning the division, then that regular season game was absolutely a must-win game.

 

[vicjagger]

I don't see us losing to any team, but it is possible.

 

[Joe Realist]

49ers will win.

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

You're not a real fan unless you just brainlessly say everyone sucks but us.

They may not suck but I don't give a rats coitus about them.

 

[mmohican29]

The only must win games are elimination contests.

But yes, we would prefer to defeat the 49ers for potential playoff seeding as well.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Why are we worrying about the 49ers and still have to play the Cards and Pats? One game at a time

Every game is a must win game unless you’ve clinched home field throughout the playoffs.

Ok
