I think there's less of that.

What do you got?

My headline here, restless in Seattle.

And everyone's talking about the rest edge in this game.

And the Niners actually have a very... Under Kyle Shanahan, a very good against the spread record when they're coming in on short rest.

But there's this extension of Seattle's coming off the first round bye.

They're at home.

San Francisco just went on the road and played like their Super Bowl against the Eagles on... I think it was Sunday last week.

So now they're going Sunday to Saturday.

Even less rest.

They have as banged up as an injury report, if not more so than the Buffalo Bills.

And I think...

watching back that Philadelphia Eagles game last week with the Niners, it was very clear that they threw out all the stops to try and win this game.

The Jawan Jennings touchdown to Christian McCaffrey, like a lot of this stuff I felt like against a very good Eagles defense was stuff that it's going to be hard to recreate again against arguably an as good defense with the Seattle Seahawks.

And we saw this game, what, two, three weeks ago, whenever it was in week 18.

And even though that game was a little bit close for a while, it really did feel like the Seahawks offensively and defensively shut down the San Francisco 49ers, kind of suffocated them in that game.

For Seattle, if you had to write out what's the biggest weakness of the Seattle team, I think the easy answer, and probably everyone's answer is like, oh, Sam Darnold, you never know.

In these big spots, does he throw picks?

Does he go into bozo mode?

When you watch back that Niners game, that Niners-Seattle game from a few weeks ago, Week 18, they were able to run the ball so successfully with Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet that they never really asked Sam Darnold to kind of put the game on his back.
