Well we blew a overtime chance to beat New Orleans but I goota say I'm not suprised. I'm just suprised that we even had the oppurtunity to get the game into overtime. Not sure how this is gonna play out playoff wise cause if the Giants lose today and we beat Washington next week we will have split games with Washington on the year. Then if the Giants win next week it would be a 3 way tie because we split with them also on the year. Two loses would terminate the Giants playoff hope but still leaves the Washington debacle.

Since nobody wants to say who they think will win tonights real NFC showdown. I'll go out on a limb here and say the Seahawks prevail. Of course I've been wrong before.

Nothing good about that game. Blooz, you have a a whole week of me eating a bit of crow. Kaep played like an inexperienced scared little boy tonight.

I will say however that Kaep does not play defense and that Russell Wilson is incredible.

Its all good man, I was disappointed in them myself. I just had a feeling that coming off that win against New England they might soften a lil. Gore never really got going, and Seattle struck first. Hard to play from behind against that D in that stadium, and yes, Russel Wilson may be very under rated. Hard to say out of the three rooks this year who deserves Rookie of the year. I also think as much as I like Harbaugh that Carols game planning was just a lil better than his, and the execution was spot on. They didn't let Gore beat them with that lil mis direction/draw that got'em the last time. When you can slow him down, and get on the scoreboard early the odds are in your favor cause San Frans just not built to play from behind. Sucks they lost Davis and Manningham too. This game also made me realise something else...that my Dallas Cowboys if they do make it to the playoffs isn't a good enough team to compete with either of these teams I dont think.

I believe my niners just lost Justin Smith for the playoffs. The defense is not the same without him.

The Seahawks look like the real deal too.

Thats about as Big a loss as a defense could ever absorb. Dudes the reason they invented the term Beast. He was even in some pundits short list of DPOY.

Justin Smith just creates hella pressure, maybe more than anyone else. Tough to replace someone like him. I'd also like to note that the Patriots comeback (most of it at least if my memory isn't shot) was after Smith left the game, and of course they just got whooped at Seattle.

Also, if we beat Houston, I think that we'll take the Packers at home.. What's ****ed is that we could pull it off and still not make the POs since there are a few teams that hold tiebreakers over us.

Dude, Packers are gonna slaughter the Vikings on Sunday, and I highly doubt Clay, AJ, Sam Shields, Raji, Casey, or any of my homies on the DL are gonna let Adrian get that record in Lambeau

Just spreading some green bay gospel for y'all. Any other packers fans around? Since the regular season ends in like 3 days, I can't be bothered to read all 149 pages of this thread!! ^^;
