NFC First Round Discussion Thread

Philly-3 all day, already bet this cause actually expected it to be higher. I don’t see this all that much different than Seattle whipping niners at Los on both sides. Pretty confident Philly defensive front can control gm and think even Philly offense be fine vs Niners awful d.

Kinda like packers but don’t love it. Little scared of the charmed life bears been living all year but let’s be real. Packers kinda dominated bears for large portions of both games before bears did their late game voodoo. The 2nd meeting packers were totally beat to shit, love left game, and they never punted! They simply couldn’t finish drives with pretty much all backups. Bears d can’t stop a nose bleed, the only hope this d has is the weather turns really bad really fast!

Yeah, this year wasn’t the year for the 9ers. A lot lines up for 2026 but this ain’t it. Playing injured on defense is an understatement. This is like playing with half your team as practice squad guys. And Trent and Ricky won’t be 100% but they’ll play. Philly sucks and the OL with Trent is one of the better units in football pass protection wise but who knows. Think Philly is the right side.
 
As a big fan of opening lines though I thought we’d see Philly -5.5 or higher. Line says 9ers a live dog.

When I saw Seattle open as a favorite I knew 9ers had no chance last night.

it remarkable they even got to this point, so many injuries all year. Ricky is never freaking healthy unfortunately, and trent just on his last legs I think, I kinda doubt either make it all gm playing philly. Throw on top they got physically mauled by Seattle playing to get that bye. I don’t particularly like Philly but think this about the best possible matchup for them and sets up really well.

Trent has been the best OL in football again once he got his legs under him. His grades last half of the season were remarkable. He pulled this hammy for the first time in his career running after a pick 6. A fluke thing.

Ricky, spot on. Dude is just always hurt. Every play I feel like he’s questionable. Sucks because him and Glock Purdy have a nice connection.

Defensively. Defensively only. Hurts is the best QB the 9ers could have hoped for. They just can’t stop accurate pocket passers right now. Hurts sometimes can’t pass against anyone so maybe the Saleh makes him pick apart a soft zone. Who knows.

Oh Trent is awesome. Just saying he been awesome for a long long time. Seriously doubt he gonna be recovering quick from a pulled hammy playing on that turf in the cold. He prob makes as big a difference outside qb to any offense in the league.

The problem is I think Niners will have to sell out to stop the run, if Seattle can push the d around at the Los I think Philly can also. Think it becomes a pick your poison situation where they can’t possible stop those 2 WRs and the run game but I suppose it true hurts could just be awful.

Also most important with this matchup isn’t Trent or Ricky.

But their LBs.

Bethune and Winters who are fringe roster guys are hurt.

Hendricks will have to play every snap. He hasn’t played football for more than a couple of weeks this year.
 
Forecast for Saturday's game in Chicago, is temps in the 30's, 70% chance of precip in the morning and then 20% for the game, with winds in the upper teens.

Kinda baffled bears taking the early money. Not sure how I can get the 1st 2 games out my head, packers were clearly the better team in both despite playing a ton of backups in the 2nd. Maybe packers 1st half to avoid bears lockbox 4th qrtrs? There just no way I could see myself betting Chicago. Maybe packers team total over? Bears d is so freaking bad.
 
I like Carolina getting 10 at home. This falls into my system play. But hey, Rams could win easy, and put up a ton of points...Which their D has been doing... Giving up points...OVER 46.5

Agree 100%. I felt dirty winning on the Bears in that second matchup. Only concerns here are Love’s health and Green Bay is not exactly peaking right now. Injuries derailed the Pack. I think a healthy Green Bay team would’ve made the SB.

I’m not sure I even care if it love or Willis. I’ve seen both them and a slew of backups move the ball easily on bears.
