So is it better to play GB in CHI on short rest (with GB coming off a bye) or SEA/SF with equal rest?

Next will be interesting to see what Ben Johnson does. He does not seem like the type of coach that will rest people and concede anything, especially against DET. A win in Week 18, the Bears would be locked into the #2 Seed with a game against GB. A loss is basically a game against the loser of SEA@SF. So instead of GB coming back to CHI, you get either SF or SEA. SF is 7-2 on the road, SEA is 7-1 (would be 7-2 with loss to SF) while GB is 4-3-1 on the road. So do you rest players all but guaranteeing a game against SEA or SF, or do you play everyone and go into a game with no rest while your opponent got a week off resting their players in Week 18 (GB resting players against MIN because they can't change their seeding)?

Out of the entire game, I thought Johnson handled the timeouts pretty well, but I thought he was too worried about leaving too much time on the clock at the end, leaving very little room for error. Having to spike the ball wasted a play when you had over 2 mins and 3 timeouts to start with. A learning point for him, but tough to watch it play out.

Yeah, it was bad. Burden got facemasked coming across the middle, no call. Jarrett has his face mask pushed up, no call, then the next play Dexter does the same thing (both penalties), but that one was called.

It was the difference in the game. It would've been tied and Santos would've been kicking the GW FG from 29 yards out.

Yeah both him and Monangai did that, cut back inside right towards defender.

Not that is matters, but Caleb threw for 330, now 270 from 4K and only 109 to break Kramer's team record.

SF had the officials advantage all game, that was the difference. One play away.

Damn what a game.

Walk off TD, can't tie now.

Play before Dexter's hands to the face call, Jarrett had the OLine do it to him but not called. Ffs these rest man.

Damn would've like to have seen some more runs there. The 3rd down play 4 routes all in the end zone, nothing open.

If you listen to the broadcast, apparently SF is up by 30.

Zone coverage and no holding calls, SF may score 60.

Defense needs to take away McCaffrey make them beat you with someone else.

Great opening drive to start the 2nd half.

49ers holding a lot. They refuse to call it.

Special Teams not doing the team any favors. Lost over 30 yards of field position on kickoffs already.

Freaking refs, wtf was that bs call. Took an INT off the board, the fix is in.

First to 50 wins I guess.

Holy shit offense woke up.

I swear he calls a ton on the Bears in previous games.

Defense playing zone and just letting McCaffrey run all over them. Embarrassing, you know what they are going to do but can't stop it.

2nd flag they have thrown and picked up, clear holding on SF but they don't call it, such BS.

Finally some offense, nice pass and catch to Burden for 6. Burden needs more targets, no one can cover him on SF.
