wvParticipantDecember 30, 2025 at 8:49 am in reply to: Atlanta game — tweets, plays, highlights, commentary #160642wvParticipantwvParticipantGoddammitt.
They are not peaking.
Robinson had almost 200 yards. Panthers put up 31 on the Rams. Lions 34. Seahawks 38.
In 1969 the Rams also had a good team. Won the first 11. Lost the last 3. I would like to NOT go into the playoffs with 3 straight losses.
w
vwvParticipantPop Quiz:
1) Was Trent Green’s winning percentage above or below .500 ?
2) What do Jeff Garcia, Jim Plunkett, and Eli Manning have in common?
3 Who has a higher winning percentage: Matthew Stafford, Andy Dalton or Dan Fouts ?
wvParticipantThey could pass the 9ers and go to Carolina or Tampa which would be better than Chicago or Philly.
Ok, so have i got this right — If the Seahawks beat SF, and the Rams win out, then the Rams go to Tampa-lina, and SF goes to Philly? Is that it?
But what if SF beats Seattle and the Rams win out? What then? Can the Rams pass Seattle?
w
vwvParticipantBtw, I see Trent Williams pulled a hamstring last night on Purdy’s pick-six. The 49ers need that bye.
I think I prefer Seattle to win. The 9ers winning anything feels like kissing a sister. And I think Darnold is easier to disrupt than Purdy. And… Shanahan is just so damn prepared.
Imagine if the Cardinals ever got their shit together. Also, imagine there’s no heaven.

vwvParticipantFor some reason I am reminded of this poem by Robert Creeley
…—John, I
sd, which was not his
name, the darkness sur-
rounds us, whatcan we do against
it, or else, shall we &
why not, buy a goddamn big car,drive, he sd, for
christ’s sake, look
out where yr going.Drive, he said.
Well, I am reminded of the fact the Falcons have a goddamn-big-car named Bijan. 1250 yards. 5.0 yards per attempt.
(BUT…3 fumbles. Kyron only has 2. So far. )
I am ALSO worried about James Pearse, Junior. I foresee Raheemm Morris scheming up the defense so Pearse gets 22 sacks tonight.
Darkness surrounds us.
w
vwvParticipantNow that the 49ers and Seahawks have won, I’m wondering — at this point does it even matter what the Rams do the last 2 weeks. Can they just rest their starters? Take one or both weeks as a bye? I mean they cant get the no.1 seed now, and i dont see how they could move down a seed either. Is there any advantage to winning any more games?
As of 12/28:
NFC
1. Seahawks Bye2 Chicago 11-5 vs 7 Packers 9-6-1
3 Eagles 11-5 vs 6 Rams 11-4
4 49ers 12-4 vs 5 Panthers 8-8AFC
1 Denver bye
2 Pats host 7 Bills
3 Jags host 6 Chargers
4 Pitt hosts 5 TexanswvParticipantI’m worried that the Rams are actually a 4-win team, the practices are too damn long, players are about to mutiny, and Isaac Bruce is a malingerer.
OT final:
Atlanta 30
Rams 30w
vwvParticipanti think drake maye wins mvp. he’s now ahead of stafford in qb rating. just slightly. stafford is gonna have to play lights out with a less than healthy oline.
and if rams can win out. and niners beat seahawks. maybe he’s got an outside chance.
Well Stafford has 40 TDs. Maye has 30. Thats big. The QB rating is almost identical. 120.1 to 120.9. And Drake played cupcake after cupcake, while Stafford went up against the Eagles and Texans, etc.
I think Stafford wins it, IF he has a good game and the Rams beat the Falcons. But only if he has a good game and they win. If Stafford is mediocre tonight and the Rams lose, i think its up in the air.
I also think some voters have a ‘sentimental’ aspect to their voting. Its a small factor, but its there. We saw it when Josh Allen won over Lamar last year. Lamar had way better numbers. But Lamar had already won two times.
I think voters feel Drake has a lot more years to win it.Btw, I see Trent Williams pulled a hamstring last night on Purdy’s pick-six. The 49ers need that bye.
w
vwvParticipant49ers won, i see. 49ers 12-4. Bears 11-5. Eagles 11-5. Seahawks 13-3.
w
vwvParticipant0 TD passes, sacked 5 times, 2 fumbles w/ 1 lost, qb rating of 88. Upside: 2 TDs rushing.
Plus, he missed a wide open receiver on the last play of the game.
Hurtz had ZERO yards passing in the second half. I think it was 4 straight 3 and outs, or something like that.
17 total yards in the second half.
Eagles again, win a game on a blocked kick.
Eagles talking-heads are flipping out. Acting like it was a loss.
w
vwvParticipantSince when does Brandon Cooks make clutch contested catches?
(at the 13 min mark)I was hoping Josh Allen would not look like an MVP in this game. He came close. I dunno.
wvParticipantwvParticipantSeattle 3
Carolina 3 Halftime.Inter esting.
IF the 49ers get the one-seed, I am going to gag. They are behind the Rams, Eagles, Seahawks, and Bears in wv-hierarchy.
w
vwvParticipantRams are 7.5 point favorites over the Falcons.
49ers are 3 pt favorites over Bears (Bears have 4 players in the secondary either out or questionable)
Seahawks 7.5 favorites over Panthers
wvParticipantRavens just mauled the Packers on the ground. D Henry had over 200 yards. Packers the 7th seed now and would play at Chicago. (Rams #6, at Philly).
I dont know who the heck Malik Willis is, but he looked like Lamar Jackson last night for the Packers. They might have another franchise QB on their team. He’s only 6’1″ though.

w
vwvParticipantYou know, of all those, my bet right now is they only keep Lake.
Well, I’m not sure anyone is gonna offer Havenstein a lot of money at his age, so maybe he resigns for one year?
Higbee is a tough one. McV has always loved him, but he might be costly. Then again, he’s injured a lot, so i dunno if a lot of teams are gonna offer him much.
After next season: Puka, Avila, B.Young, etc…. Best win another Ring next year.
w
vwvParticipantLot of reasonable choices this year. My vote would go to Shannahan, i think.
w
vwvParticipantLooks interesting. Gael GarcĂa Bernal often chooses anti-imperialist projects.

The Rockefeller Christmas Tree Belongs to the Working ClassConstruction workers pooled their wages to erect the first Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in 1931, bringing holiday cheer to themselves on the job site. Their billionaire bosses co-opted the gesture, transforming it into today’s consumer spectacle….

vwvParticipantSaw a stat. 9 NFL teams are 11-4 or better. Thats the most since the league went to sixteen games in 1978.
w
vwvParticipantThere’s an article in the Baltimore Sun by Mike Preston, apparently, purty critical of Lamar Jackson.
“The breakdown of an NFL player’s body is natural, but Jackson could help himself,” Preston wrote in a column on Christmas Eve. “He doesn’t need to be up late at night playing video games or falling asleep in team meetings. He needs to train more around The Castle instead of only attending mandatory minicamps, where he disappears after one day.”
…
“A major problem, a lot of it on the Ravens, is that there are team rules and then there are rules for Jackson,” Preston writes. “That’s why Baltimore practices in the heat of the afternoon instead of in the morning.”
…“Once the Ravens become critical of Jackson, he becomes more withdrawn,” Preston writes. “It’s a shame because Jackson isn’t a mean-spirited person, just an overgrown kid in an adult’s body.”

wvParticipant“…That’s why, when Young goes shopping now, he doesn’t worry about standing in a long line. He spots the stressed-out kid behind the counter running the store by himself and wonders if he, too, ever dreams about becoming someone else someday.” Nate Atkins
I wonder if Nate Atkins realizes how fucked up these rags-to-riches capitalism stories really are?
w
vwvParticipantExciting times.
Yeah, this is a good season.The storylines across the league have been good. Very competitive. Lots of lousy teams making a case for actually being good. Young QBs starting to click. Both NY teams still suck out loud, of course. New England is a story. Denver. Chicago. Jacksonville.
Daniel Jones resurgence. Mac Jones resurgence. The 49ers not only staying competitive, but actually threatening to take the #1 seed in the NFC in spite of their injuries. Sam Darnold’s comeback tour continues. The collapse of Philly and Kansas City. It’s been a good year.
The NFL has just got the perfect sports model. It really does.
One advantage it has over other sports is the number of regular season games. Every game matters more. Another advantage it has is that any single play can be a game-changer. No other sport offers that intensity.
Yup.
I think the NBA would be a lot better if they cut the season down to about 50 games.
w
vwvParticipantThe chance of the 9ers losing to the Bears and then beating Seattle is not zero. The 9ers will face Chicago on a short week with both Kittle and Pearsall banged up, and McCaffrey coming off a game with 27 touches.
I could easily see each of those teams losing one of the next two.
Exciting times.
The biggest hurdle might just be Atlanta vs Rams. The Falcons are a weird team.

==========================
How the Rams can earn the No. 1 seedRams: Win out (at Falcons, vs. Cardinals)
49ers: Lose 1 of 2 games (vs. Bears, vs. Seahawks)
Seahawks: Lose 1 of 2 games (at Panthers, at 49ers)
Bears: Lose 1 of 2 games (at 49ers, vs. Lions)wvParticipantin case anyone was wondering what happened with that draft pick the rams gave to the falcons….
I would be two dozen doughnuts that Raheem Morris is scheming up some special blitzes for that dude in this game.
w
vwvParticipant49ers win on MNF.
Rams are now the 6th seed and would go to Philadelphia instead of Carolina.
49ers finally start playing good teams now, though. Next for them is Chicago, then Seattle.
w
vwvParticipantI have tried to find out whether a 49er win over the Colts would move them above the Rams in seeding but i cant find a single site that addresses that particular issue.
But, leaving that aside, as of now :
NFC
1 seed. Seahawks (bye, homefield)
2 Bears host Packers 7
3 Eagles host 49ers 6
4 Panthers host 5 RamsBucs still in the hunt.
—AFC
1 Denver (bye)
2 Pats host Texans 7
3 Jags host Bills 6
4 Steelers host Chargers 5—
Rams have 10th pick as of today
