Will Niners Rest Their Starters?

[Captain Americolt]

The niners won today. And have clinched a first-round bye, dont know which seed though. there is a chance they could play the last game if they dont already have the #1 seed. Do you think they will rest their starters against the rams? If the rams win we get the first pick, which alot of people on this forum want.

[Fx Stryker]

They clinched it? I thought the Saints have to lose?

I guess they did then. Well then Maybe midway though the 3rd quarter with a big lead they'll rest the starters. I don't think Jim would like to lose, even if it's meaningless. He is just that kind of guy.

[Andy]

They'll probably rest Willis, Gore and Justin Smith to start the game. Then at halftime Alex and Vernon may come out. The Rams have a very good chance, especially since the game is in St Louis.

[WSO]

They haven't clinched yet they need the Saints to lose

also if the packers lose their next 2 games (highly unlikely I know) and the Niners win next week the Niners get the #1 seed

They have already clinched a first-round bye. Not sure which seed though. First or second...

The Packers are going number 1, they're going to kill the Bears. I'm pretty sure they clinched it too. Anyways, it's a battle between NO and SF for #2 and if the Saints win tonight they get it.

The Niners win the tie-break over the Saints therefore, the Niners win a first round bye if the Saints lose to the Falcons on Monday.

If the Saints win Monday, both the Saints and Niners will be going all-out next week trying to get the bye.

[Malakai432]

We can just hope the Colts & Rams win. Wonder if Bradford will start next week guess only time will tell if the sprain will heal up?? With him & Jackson in the lineup @ home it wouldn't surprise me if they won. They are pretty terrible though.

If the Saints win Monday, I doubt the Niners will rest anyone and risk losing to the Rams and missing-out on a first round bye.

I said that assuming the Saints lose on Monday.

[doogansquest]

Wow...some people really want the Rams to win. I hope they get crushed, and we smoke the Jaguars, just to see how half of this board will react. I couldn't care either way, but I will be viewing for that, should it come to pass.

I just think you don't want to see us draft Luck...

Doogan, I have been siding with you alot but I dont think you should be saying the " I hope we beat jax, No Luck" stuff anymore. I still agree with you, but the posters get your point, and they seem to be getting ticked off at every post you make now.

Well then I don't know what Nfl.com is talking about then. It does say it on their website

And that is supposed to concern me?

Besides, that is the first time I said I hope we beat Jacksonville, and hope St. Louis loses. Go ahead, search my post history. That's the only time I've ever said it. I also haven't said, "No Luck." I just want to see how THE PEOPLE react if we end up drafting #2. It has nothing to do with Luck, just the people who think the Colts are doomed forever and ever, even with Peyton, if we don't draft him.

If you look again, they took that down. They did have it up as a headline earlier, but there was no article supporting the statement.

Here is their playoff scenario page:

If you click on the niners:

49ersNFC

CLINCHED: The 49ers clinched the NFC West. San Francisco clinches a first-round bye with a New Orleans loss.

REMAINING OPPONENTS: at Rams (2-13)

COMMENT: If both the 49ers and Saints win out, San Francisco would get the No. 2 seed.

[GoColts8818]

Somehow the Jim Harbaugh doesn't strike me as a rest them kinda guy even if the Saints lose.

Oh the irony here after two years of Colts fans complaining about us pulling our starters alot of us are now hoping the 49ers rest theres.

[Coltswarriors]

Even if the Niners do rest, I could see them still winning.

Rams are bad. Really bad.

[Captain Americolt]

Doogan, i didnt literally mean you said " i hope we beat jax, no luck".. I meant the whole losing the last game and securing the #1 pick or to beat jacksonville etc...

Its crazy to not want the first pick.

just crazy thinking.

Luck, Suck, or *... the value is in the first pick. 2nd pick is worth MUCH less.

I think he just likes to stir up trouble and hear himself speak.

niners are (12-3-0) , saints (11-3-0) if Saints win Mond & next week SainTs are 13 & 3

while if niners lose next week they are 12 & 4, so seems Saints would take it

Find one post of people saying we're doomed forever if we don't draft Luck.

We won't even get into you wanting to hurt the team to see people's reaction on the internet.

[Case]

I think rams win this game. Last home game of the season people fighting for jobs 49ers looked average against the Seahawks with all their starters. Rams win a close game.

Hope you are right but the Rams sure didn't look like much against Pittsburgh.

On another note, I predicted the Vikes would upset the Jeckyl & Hyde Skins though. Seen too much Redskins football to not see that one coming. lol

One #1 pick obstacle down...one more to worry about.

[Quantum88]

I think IU could beat the Rams, even in St. Louis. The 49nrs in a somewhat close game.

[chad72]

The only way the Rams beat the 49ers is if the 49ers rest their starters considerably after the Falcons beat the Saints on MNF. That would mean that the 49ers have clinched the bye and a #2 seed in the NFC.

I am sure a lot of us are going to be Falcons fans tonight .

Looks like the Niners will be "all-out" against he Rams next Sunday...crap!!!

I added him to my ignore list WEEKS ago. After I got booted for a "discussion" with him.

In his mind, his opinion is law. No one else's opinion matters.

Kinda like the old guy who yells at all the kids in the neighborhood for having fun. Unhappy, miserable person.

[chad72]

Yep, they did not have Patrick Willis for the Seahawks game. If they have the bye and Patrick Willis healthy, watch out, the 49ers' D is for real. The 49ers' issue is they cannot let the scoring get out of hand because Alex Smith cannot keep up. But they are the true team that is under the radar, not the Packers or Saints.

Im sorry Doogan, you seemed like a good poster, but this really changed my mind. Very immature post. I know you don't care and it's the internet, but come on.

[Dan]

I love how every time people start responding to that Doogan guy he runs away with his tail between his legs and refuses to try to make a comeback. I prefer it this way, it means I don't have to read more of his anti-Luck rubbish.
