Why are the nines trying to win?

[k13]

Get a first round bye from eagles/Dallas or go to go with a fired up Rodgers. Gb sucks too but....The tougher game and Rodgers will break his kryptonite sooner or later.

[broadway6]

good points, but GB is the only defense where niners put up 40 points a game on.. (past two)

[daneblazer]

Coaches suck at game theory

[lakerboy]

in theory niners should be more concerned about philly.

[ChiLLx]

Maybe they want to hope they don't play in SEA. 6th seed guarantees that.

[Vinnie Paz]

Because as a player and coach you play to win every game youre in . If you're scared or worried about a certain opponent you don't belong in at all.

[innovation]

I don't understand you have a 17 week season and you decide to only play some of them?

dont cheat yourself or your profession

They need saints to win for that to happen.

Saints are frauds but they could win in philly.

eagles are the biggest frauds in the nfc. saints are gonna pump there asses.

Is it too late to nominate this thread for dumbest of 2013?

#6's have gotten there before and Saints have a complete enough team to do it. But Saints on the road?! I dunno.

[slacker00]

Saints have the guns to do it, but they have done nothing on the road all year. Can you explain it?

they played 2 road games this year that were games they should ahve been up for. they got blown out in sea. other teams have been there. they won in ne( i know they didnt but we know they did) the eagles are not a good team. dallas moved the balla t will on them. the saints will do the same. look what witten did> you think jimmy graham wont?

I thought you didn't watch the games?

[lakerboy]

yesterday was the first time i watched an entire nfl game all year. i watched gb/bears and dal/eagles. i have some time off. i honestly dont watch much sports bro.

Not if they lose to the Packers.

Niners would put foles in the hospital.

[k13]

I don't think you want your mongrel qb in this situation.

[ChiLLx]

This is a fair question. Playing @ Chicago/GB much more difficult than @Phi/Dal (Dal basically a bye week).

Harbaugh doesn't know how to take foot off the gas pedal. Just not the way his teams play.

Most important thing going into playoffs is momentum

Between @GB or @PHI this week, I'd take @GB because their defense is so bad that the crowd noise won't help.

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

Regardless of who wins ...whoever comes to the clink next week....welcome....weve been expecting you.....it will be a Battle...the hits there gonna put on players....cant wait

Yeah but the NFL refs won't let niners touch Rodgers. Anything close it's a flag. Wait and see. The niners will be completely thrown off and won't be allowed to play their physical style.

[ramones951]

Let me get this straight..

You think Harbaugh would rather play a team who finished the season red hot winning 7 of their last 8 instead of a ravished defense and a QB who is 1 bad angle away from rebreaking his collarbone? And in order to "accomplish" this.. Lose their final game going into the postseason giving away their momentum? Look like a pussy to his players by saying "hey guys I know we're about to pull off a great road win against a hot division rival but let's go ahead and give the game away because I'm scared to play a certain team."

And on top of all that, guarantee a trip to Seattle if the make it to the divisional round?

Sports don't work like that.

You play to win the game.

Dumb thread.

Obviously more teams are going to lose than win. Last time I checked only 1 team can win the Super Bowl, Einstein. No denying the fact that most teams who go all the way are the ones who come in hot. Proof is in the pudding bud. Try again.

It hasn't seemed to bother them the last 3 times they saw Rodgers.

you just proved yourself as an idiot. sea came in on 5 straight wins? did they win the bowl?

[ChiLLx]

not playing the bears next week pal

Game is in Green Bay. You don't think Packers will get the calls?

they might but they dont win games at home anymore in the playoffs.

[ramones951]

Are you really trying to argue it's not beneficial to come into the playoffs with momentum? I don't even know why I'm bothering you

[lakerboy]

yes. it means nothing gueye.

balty was not playing well last year.

the giants were -6 in points the year before

its all about building momentum in the first game thats why so many wild cards win lately.


this year every team except sea is coming in with at least 2 wins on the trot. sf has 6 on the trot and they wont play more than 1 game

[k13]

Momentum is overrated.

Someone had a good article on this.
