AT Seahawks Seattle Seahawks. Lumen Field. Game Presented by. AT Bengals Cincinnati Bengals. Paul Brown Stadium. Falcons Atlanta Falcons. AT Titans Tennessee Titans. Nissan Stadium. Texans Houston Texans. SoFi Stadium. Minnesota early on looked out of the race completely.
They were through three games and through six. This is an easy one. The 49ers should root for: The Jaguars Importance scale: 7. On the other hand, a Cardinals loss combined with a 49ers victory ties San Francisco with their temporary stadium-mates.
A Cardinals loss combined with a 49ers loss keeps San Francisco in the thick of the race. The 49ers should root for: The Rams Importance scale: 9. The 49ers division hopes have been all but extinguished since they lost to the Seahawks in Week 8. It may also help San Francisco long term if the Seahawks scuffle down the stretch and into their Week 17 showdown with the 49ers. Based on that alone, the answer should be pretty obvious. However, the rest of the roster just has too much talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball under DeMeco Ryans, to go into a full-on free fall down the stretch.
Seven teams make the playoffs in the NFC. The 49ers are currently ninth in point differential. They have to work out some kinks on offense, though. Fundamentally, I believe that the season is long, Kyle is baseline competent, and this defense is good.
The three losses were close, and you can chalk up almost all of it to a team getting in its own way. We have playmakers on offense, we have two viable options at quarterback if I were more confident in Kyle starting Lance, I would bump the wins up , and our defense can keep up with the Rodgers, Murrays, and Wilsons of the league. The bad news is the 49ers entered the bye week under. The good news is that each of those games was very winnable, and if they can cut back on the self-inflicted mistakes, the talent level alone should get them to 10 wins.
Lance narrowly outdueled his draft classmate Justin Fields in the wild-card round, winning Packers running back Aaron Jones caught two touchdowns in a win for Green Bay. How long Garoppolo hangs on to the starting job at QB will be the question we ask all year long.
But, I feel for Jimmy in a sense knowing that with every turnover, mistake, or even incompletion, fans will call for Lance. Seeing Lance versus Justin Fields in a playoff game would be great for the sport as they can showcase two of its future stars. For as much as the 49ers have manhandled the Packers recently, last year's game has an asterisk next to it, Mike McCarthy and Mike Pettine are no longer on the other sideline.
So even for Week 3, we are ignoring this guy named Elgton Jenkins at left tackle, who is a superb athlete and a future All-Pro. So, how do we feel about the result of the 49ers' hypothetical season?
