I didn't like the 3rd down play call, but the thought was they probably get like 5 yards and make it a manageable 4th down. The 2nd down play, Williams had a lot of space. That could have been a TD if he breaks one tackle.
Stafford holds the single-season record for TDs in a season with 41. Goff now has 36. He may need to break Stafford's record in order to win this game and the Vikings game.
So the 49ers get the ball before the end of the half and will have an extra possession in the 1st half. Deferring did not gain them an extra possession.
Stop engaging with him. He ruins every game thread. I don't know why he insists on trying to make the rest of us miserable. I wish he would go somewhere else and be miserable.
So the Lions only have two more IR activations left and Anzalone will get one of them. I'm not sure if they reset for the playoffs, but if they don't, they would only be able to return one player, possibly Hutchinson or Davis. It probably explains why Montgomery wasn't placed on IR.
The Bears are like the Millen Lions. I remember we had to get weapons for Harrington so we draft a bunch of receivers. The Bears go out and draft Odunze and trade for Allen and sign Swift, but don't put much resources into the offensive line. They do spent a lot of money on linebackers. Even Bob Quinn knew you had to spend resources on the line.
I don't know how bad the OL is and how much it is on Williams. There are numerous times receivers flash open, and he holds the ball. Even the best lines can only block for so long.
