These conditions eh. Reminds me of rugby at school on the pitch affectionately known as the paddy field.
Wish the two televised ,matches were the other way round!
That wasn’t the best spectacle
The Bucs game weren’t happy with the conservative approach! It was never going to be end to end in those conditions
Niners look odd in that uniform.
Do teams often do uniform changes right at the end of the season? Just one more way to cash in?
Anyway nice goal line stand
Seahawks have taken 3 points in that position all season, no idea why they didn’t take a FG there,
If Seahawks can establish a running game it could be a long night for the Niners, especially as the Hawks defense is easily one of the best in the league,
Yeah Seahawks were moving it well
Niners really missing Warner and Bosa

Seahawks are 7 pts light on the return they should have had for their play in the 1st Half.
Niners will get their moment in the sun, CMC and Kittle will get some yards and points, not sure Seahawks have enough to weather the storm.
Low scoring but comprehensive win for the Seahawks.
A game too far for a beat up Niners team.
I bailed after the first quarter, just caught up.
The defence of the Seahawks is great, but only to score 13 points against about a quarter of the Niners defence is poor. They really don’t look much good for a 14-3 team.
Yet they keep winning.
Bye week and home advantage is huge.
The 49ers had averaged 373.2 yards and 35.7 points per game in Brock Purdy’s six starts since returning from a toe injury in Week 11. But the Seahawks limited them to 173 yards and 3 points.
CMC and Kittle were nullified, although the 49ers certainly missed Pearsall and the whole Aiyuk saga has not helped.
Just caught up on the Ravens @ Steelers.
Really thought the Ravens were going to take that one.
Instead we have a play off swan song for Rodgers
It always seems that being a kicker is absolutely money for old rope until you see games like that.
The Steelers guy missing an extra point, giving the Ravens a kick for a win. How must he have felt to have ended their entire season with fucking up the most basic thing he can do?
Then for the Ravens guy to miss such a short field goal. Jesus.
You know that every player will tell him that it’s fine, things happen in sport, blah blah, but they have pushed their bodies to extremes, had all sorts of injuries. All the kicker had to do was come on a few times and kick a ball through the posts, and he couldn’t even do that.
Psychologically it must be incredibly tough. Of course being paid millions must be lovely, but blimey.
Tyler Loop is on a rookie contract worth about $1m a year.
He replaced probably the most reliable kicker in the NFL, Justin Tucker, who was on a four year $24m contract (highest ever in the NFL) until he was suspended by the NFL for allegations of sexual misconduct and subsequently released by the Ravens.
So Loop was under huge pressure on that kick.
That’s the new “Rivalries” series of uniforms. 8 teams got them this season, and you only get to wear them for one game against a divisional rival. All of them look terrible.
I do like the Throwback uniforms, and the all white strips some teams wear as a third look really good.

Has cost John Harbaugh his job as head coach after 18 seasons.
Barring a Super Bowl win, I think Harbaugh was going to lose his job anyhow. Ravens have had high hopes the last few seasons, but disappointing results
Regular season summary:
We all got 1 division winner (Eagles - NFC East)
Four of us got 78 points: Armitage_Shanks, crimsondonkey, ijrussell, and Professor_Chaos. Kevin finished on 69 because he chose the Cardinals!
