Jimmy sucks against the blitz. What do the Ravens love to do? Blitz. That is the game in a nutshell.
If the 49ers want to win, they have to limit Jimmy to under 20 throws and pound the hell out of the rock.
A silver lining is the Ravens are going to be on short rest, and they had to fly across the country, and then back. That is 6,000+ miles of jet lag. vs. the Niners 3,000+ miles of jet lag, and an extra day of rest.
In the end though, I don't think the Niners can stop the Ravens rushing attack and Jimmy is going to be forced to throw to try and keep pace, and he will turn it over too much.
Ravens win.
Seahawks win over the Vikings, vaulting them to the #2 Seed. If the Saints some how find a way to lose to the Falcons on Thur. Seattle jumps all the way up to the #1 seed.
Jimmy sucks against the blitz? Where does that take come from?
If he's getting a ton of pressure with just 4 guys coming after him and his WRs are not lighting it up, he's gonna "suck" just like most QBs (how did Rodgers look this past weekend?). The 49er OL gave up uncharacteristic pressure against Seattle (is Clowney really better than all of the other DEs faced this season like Myles Garrett, Chandler Jones, TJ Watt, Barrett, Panthers DL, Packers DL? Be honest). Lots of drops in that game. If the game ended after Q1, it was 10-0 SF....
And yeah, that was in SF. The rematch will be in Seattle but even Goff had time to throw in that one...
Cards blitzed Jimmy a lot and he's got 800 yards and 7 TDs against them over the course of two weeks. One pick was not under blitz, and the other was aided by a blitz but wasn't a bad read just a throw that went off a TE's hands slightly and Cards were able to make a great diving pick. Kinda reminds me of that pick at the end of Cards/Seahawks in 2013 where the INT was made by a diving Card defender....blitz too?
You seem to be pretty fair with your analysis, but don't think you got this one right.
If Jimmy G is top 3 in converting on 3rd down by the percentages, you'd imagine he'd have his fair share of blitzes thrown in.
