San Francisco vs Seattle

I was going over the matchups for next weekends game, and I kept coming back to think that San Fran and Seattle's personnel are very similar.

QB-Both uber athletic, strong armed, good runners
RB-Both tandems are similar
WR-No big time receivers on either side, but all are reliable
TE-Davis is a better option, but Miller is a good pass catching threat
OL-San Fran has the more compete line, but Seattle has a great left side(including C)

Defensively-both are top 3 units. The 49ers have a better pash rush, but Smith not being 100% could be a factor. Seattle does have the better secondary, but the Niners arent too shabby either.

No matter the players, we will have to play 60 minutes to win this game, unlike taking a whole half off against Seattle. However, I do wonder that if playing another team that is similar to the one we just faced, could be blessing.

The 9ers D will not Matt Ryan march down the field like he did to set up the field goal, and it will punish Matt Ryan all game long. It is more disciplined than the Seahawks D.

Their O-Line is also better.

Please beat the 9ers Sad

A Healthy John Abraham and a rotation at DE that includes sidbury could help

Feel like a lot of the same match-ups we had against Seattle are prevalent here vs San Fran. Kaepernick is a more dangerous running option, although I think Russell Wilson is a better thrower. Our WRs should have a little easier time getting open against their secondary though, as long as we maintain protection in the pocket for Matty Ice.

I would agree but their Receiving corps. is more dangerous and Kaepernick seems to be faster, although not necessarily as improvisational as Wilson

San Fran has a better offensive line, better linebackers, more punishing safeties, better WR (with Crabtree being unreal over the last month and a half), better defensive line (run stuffing & pass rushing) and let's not underestimate that they have a much better Head Coach.

But they also have worse running backs, cornerbacks, a TE who disappears and a spotty kicker as of late. Also, the 49ers haven't been able to win several games in a row this year. They could be due for a clunker... especially coming to the East Coast.

I think we need to abandon the stretch plays to Turner because they are going to be 3 yard losses. We need to use the pass to set up the run instead of the opposite last week. We'll need to bomb the Niners over the top of their slower safeties and convert several long passes. Abraham has to stay on the field and apply some pressure. We need a viable QB spy because I feel Kaep will run more than Wilson did. And it seems simple to say but we just need everyone to step up and play the game of the year.
