The 49ers are very annoying. Like they could win the SB with a rookie Mr. Irrelevant. And they're not so different than us.

They have a more elite pass rusher in Bosa, but like our defense when it doesn't decide to be pussies in the 4th quarter is on oar with them.

On offense they've got an OL, they've got the running back, the TE just like us. But then they have 2 good WRs to compliment.

It's like wtf. The Ravens should be the 49ers with Lamar Jackson, but we'll never get anywhere close to them

Is Roquan just annoying af? Lolol. Every single guy in all the pressers have made it a point to mention that he's unapologetically himself, a big talker, and a brutally honest guy.

I'd go Dobbins due to the fact that the Redskins have WRs and the Ratbirds do not. With Huntley back there, they'll run all day long. I could honestly see them both have similar success. Can't you start one at flex?
I have a fantasy question. Currently I sit in first place at 12-2 with a 2 game lead and 11 game winning streak heading into the playoffs. There is no bye week, so I will be playing this week.

Stevenson isn't playing this week so I have a need to fill my RB2 spot (Ekeler is my RB1).

I have the option of playing Dobbins vs the Browns or Brian Robinson vs the Giants. I'm thinking of playing Robinson due to the amount of touches he has been getting, but I'd like to know what everyone else is thinking before I commit.

Thoughts?
Robinson for me and its not particularly close. Getting way more volume than Dobbins.

That kid went in there and after 2 games it's looking like they found a QB for the future.


Credit goes to where credit is due....Kyle S has always been solid at calling plays. Hell of a play caller. Gets cute and conservative when up by a lead at times but man does he know how to draw up plays

Football teams, and pro sports teams in general, are not the sum of their parts so it’s impossible to compare position by position and expect similar performance. So many variables…..injuries, team chemistry, coaching, etc., etc., all play a part.

I mean yeah that's obviously true. Not really the point I'm making. It's that generally a team that's built very very similarly to us with a significantly worse QB is in a better position.

Means what we were trying to build was worthwhile but it's not materializing.

I don’t think it means anything until the tournament is over. Regular season success is all about seeding and entertainment, post season wins are what is most meaningful. And I don’t think you can say “worse QB” yet, dude looks pretty darn good so far.

Yeah I'm making a huge assumption they'll go further than us. We'll see once all is said and done

Orlovski is out here bashing Roman for minutes on live television. Saying the passing game from an X and O standpoint is fundamentally flawed

Orlovsky has been tired of seeing Roman's route concepts damn near all season long. I know that he showed a couple of examples on NFL Live earlier on this week regarding this past Sunday's game.

Just realized something. If we win, we're guaranteed to have a better record than the Steelers, Raiders, and Jags. This leaves us with the Jets, Chargers, and Patriots. Let's say we're 10-4 by this weekend. Next weekend, we either got to win or the Pats gotta lose to the Bengals and we clinch (hopefully).

Obviously it's only one week and the game is not over, but I've been telling y'all since the beginning that the Vikings are just not a good team at all. Like neither on offense or especially defense. Kirk is garbage and Jefferson being an animal is the sole reason for any of the success they've had.

Want a cookie for being right?
