Crimson Warrior
Dangerous Murray Zealot
I don't believe in this stuff. In fact, I think it really is more often the opposite. I remember when we choked away that game to the unbeaten Bears on Monday night. And, next game, it was all this kind of talk about how we will slaughter a bad Raiders team. Instead, we actually played totally horribly and lifeless. Losing a game like that in that spectacular of an eff up leads to doubt and even anger in the lockerroom. I don't believe Eberflus is a dynamic type of a coach who can turn that into a positive.
If losing is so motivating in firing guys up to play better, then why is the Super Bowl Loser curse a thing? Which, once again looking at the Niners have done so far this year, it is holding true again.
I don't know if we will win, because I wonder how we will come out of the gate. After a similar win against SF, we were horrible in GB. We had a similar win against the Chargers, and didn't show up in the first quarter yesterday. We just didn't get buried quite as bad as Green Bay buried us.
Maybe.
I'd be more likely to agree with you if that stinging, heartbreaking loss torpedoed their season.
But at 4-3 they still have everything to play for, and they really need this game to keep pace in the wildcard race. It's unlikely they'll win their division.
I wish I was wrong, but I think they'll be flying around pretty good on Sunday. We'll see.
