I can see that....I think both divisional games in the AFC will be close. IF we beat the Bills, I would rather play the Bengals in KC, than Titans in Nashville.

I'm not even going to try and guess. Every match-up this weekend looks like it could be an upset, and since there were so few upsets this past weekend, maybe we're due for several now...?

I do like this current format a bit better than the past when the No. 2 seeds also skipped a round, which resulted in the Divisional rounds being nothing but blowouts with rested 1 and 2 seeds destroying the road teams.

49ers doing a heck of a job hiding Jimmy G's injuries.

Really? His thumb injury was well known before the Dallas game and his shoulder sprain is one of the main topics heading into the GB game.

I follow Niner beat writers, don't see anything super top secret going on. He was limited in practice yesterday. Practice just started about 10 minutes ago so we won't know anything solid for a little while. But so far there has been absolutely no mention of him not playing Sunday

Edit - Jimmy and Warner both participating in practice. Bosa only participating in walk through.

Derrick Henry practiced with contact today, looking like he will play on Sunday

Bruce Arians fined $50k for hitting his own player in the helmet, trying to pull him off a pile during last Sundays win vs PHI

I mean on the field. They asking as little as possible from him.

Yup, it's clear they're going to go as far as they can letting Jimmy G drive the bus.

This has been clear going all the way back to their 5 game losing streak (wk 9). A lot of fans wanted the switch to Lance (admittedly myself included), but the 49ers stuck with Jimmy and now they’re playing for a shot at the NFC championship game.

he wasn't asked to do much against DAL because the rushing attack was so effective. this has been, for better or worse, the overarching theme with Shanahan. Rushing attack, sets up play action and at that point you get good Jimmy (week 17 vs Rams) or bad Jimmy. I am sure the gameplan will be similar this Saturday in order to keep the ball out of Rodgers hands as much as possible.

I stand corrected, it was a 4 game losing streak (5 out of 6 after starting 2 and 0).

You can sleep?

I'm already nervous. Our office is closed due to covid, so I'm the only one in each day. I have my favorite sport talk playing while I work. Consuming whatever I can talking about the Chiefs. Hopefully, Arrowhead pride and Mahomes Magic come out on top.

If not, then I'll cheer on the Bill's Mafia for a Super Bowl (run) Victory.
