WFT v Seattle predictions/pregame talk

Need to come out fired up out the gate, can’t fall behind with this team. Their OL is not that good, our D can put some pressure but will need to be disciplined. Wilson is probably the best at making big plays when scrambling or a play breaks, their WR are dangerous and their D strength is their LB’s and CB’s.

They are the 32nd ranked pass defense. Not sure that ties with CB's being their strength?

edit: on the rankings chart posted in the SF postgame thread, it has Seattle's LB's as #1, but their CB's and Safeties ranked 21 and 23 respectively. That is not good for Logan Thomas, but I hope TM and other WR's can find space. We just need Alex as qb to get it to them. (and Sims Jr not to drop the ball)

Exactly, Wilson couldn't get out of the pocket vs the Giants. Their DL played disciplined containment all game long and collapsed the pocket quickly. We need the same.

One thing this defense seems to be is VERY disciplined. The front 4 especially seem to trust each other to do their jobs (CY said that was a key to his fumble recovery) and not overplay their position. I think between SF tape against Seattle and NYG's game 2 weeks ago, our defense ought to have a very good game plan to limit Seahawks offense.

Does anyone know if Gibson is practicing today? I can't find any updates on his status.

Jp:

Winter weather expected in DC tomorrow - that means don’t expect media at practice. Which means no in person Alex Smith or Antonio Gibson updates.


My personal opinion based on my Warpath Doctorate Degree (still more of a dr than Jill)...I’d be shocked if Gibson plays this week. Bad Turf toe is a multi week injury

I wouldn't expect to see Gibson this week, and I hope they wait until he is 100% before putting him out there. I think they can get to the playoffs without him, but he will be crucial to any success once in.

Lololololol...my Doctorate is in bullshit

If we lose this game I fully expect to finish 8-8 still so I will not get all down and out Sunday

I see this game as a prelude to the playoffs with specific potential outcomes:

1) we lose and our offense is inept = no hope in playoffs
2) we lose or win a close game, but our whole team fights = sets up intriguing rematch in 1st round
3) we win going away on both sides - hope beyond the first round

Agree Cred

Also FWIW the Football Doc says he doubts Smith plays this week
