NFL GDT: Week 17

[BMOK33]

They got a couple weeks to figure out what's up, but yeah. No decisive wins in a long while.

It seems unlikely at the moment that the SB is anything other than Seattle or NO vs Baltimore

Game about gave me a heart attack

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Refs gave the 49ers the game by not calling an obvious penalty.

After they about took it from them with that horrible personal foul that ended their last drive, I'll say they're even.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

The worst part of that for the Hawks was taking the penalty on the one. Crazy ending.

Seahawks will destroy Philly

 

[BMOK33]

Without looking I’m gonna guess lines are NE by 7.5, Houston by 2.5, Seattle by 5, and NO by 3

Lol, the Seahawks had like 6 or 7 chances to get the ball into the endzone and couldn't do it. Blaming the refs here is laughable. The penalty would have only taken the ball to the 1-yard line. They weren't gonna punch that in even if the ball got there.

 

[kovacro]

It’s been a season of poor officiating. Hoping against hope that players will decide the outcome of these playoffs and not the officials.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The Niners D went from knowing Seattle's every move to being completely in the dark here.

Seattle dinked them to death. They executed their gameplan well, which was take what the D gave them, which was nothing much beyond 5-7 yards. Would love to see Shanahan be more aggressive on offense if they meet up again since Seattle couldn't stop them over the last 45 minutes.

 

[GKJ]

Payback for 2013 when SF was screwed out of home field when Ahmed Brooks' clean, game-ending strip sack on Brees was called a penalty.

Think it’s time to let that one go

Never!

Seattle wasn't beating them on the ground, so no need for the safeties to step up.

Strange that both conferences are playing their games on the same day

This is the first time I can remember it being scheduled this way.

 

[kanuck87]

That was some awful play-calling at the end there. All pass, no runs. They had 1st and 10 on the 11-yard line with a minute left and two timeouts. You have to keep the defense honest with a run on either 1st or 2nd down. At the very least, you get some decent yardage to set yourself up for 3rd and 4th down. Nope. All drop-backs against a great pass-rush where Wilson had to get the ball out early every time. Very predictable guys.

Wonder if this is part of NBC’s make-good for not getting a week 17 game 2 years ago

 

[GKJ]

Also, a big advantage for the 49ers as their opponent is guaranteed a short week.

Wilson is such a smart decision maker.

 

[StreetHawk]

Wilson is such a smart decision maker.

Seattle's 1st half play calling was what fans feared without their RBs. Schottenheimmer would continue to pound the rock, rather than put the ball into Wilson's hands. Seattle, for some reason, needs to get some good positive run plays to get going. Not talking big 10 yard plus chunks, but solid 6/7 yard gains.

Can't start slow against good teams. Asking too much from D to hold in the 2nd half. Those 2 long scoring drives in the 3rd really helped the D and evened out the TOP for the game.

But, man. To not even be at the LOS when the play clock runs out is unforgiveable for a vet like Wilson and Carroll.

 

[Didalee Hed]

The world was robbed of seeing Lynch take the handoff at the 1 yard line with the game hanging in the balance.

Like you can’t even write that shit with a straight face, yet there we were.

That was something we saw a lot with Jim Harbaugh. After huge plays he couldn't get the next play in in time, regardless of if it was Smith or kap at qb. This play was different, though, since they spiked it and had time to regroup. I don't know if it took too long to get their personel out (iirc Lynch came out pretty late), but, yeah, inexcusable at that point. 1 momentary mental lapse was the difference last night.
