You can't lose to a back up QB like Mullins if you are a legitimate playoff team IMO. 

Exactly.  The funniest thing is Mullens looked better as a rookie than right now.  
 

it’s a game on a neutral site. The 49ers are very well coached (Shanahan is one of the few nepotism coaches who is really good) and scrappy but this needs to be an easy win.

You think we'll play Mullens like we played Mahomes? That's an interesting take.

No but the Niners will try to control the clock and run the ball on us. They game plan will be to not rely on Mullens by dominating the line of scrimmage and running it down our throats. Not saying that I think they will be successful but those betting on SF are thinking that.

Ok...but the Niners usually work the edges w the run game and look for the corner.

 

Plus, no one has beaten us like that this year w a bad QB or the pass game clicking. Pats nearly did, but this was a bad weather game. 

 

The chiefs have so much talent, Kelce and Mahomes runs on 3rd down killed us. Still had to honor it and could not stack the box. Titans games Tannyhill runs on 3rd down killed us. Cards same. 

 

Look up how many rushing yards Mullens has.

I agree. Look at games when we gave up a lot of rushing on the stat sheet - Chiefs, Cards, Pats, Rams. Maybe not the Rams, but other three have a QB that can run. That said the Bills have been shaky at times stopping anything on the ground. Much better as of late but there were times when you knew teams were running and they still were going for 7-8 yards at will. 

I dont know if the Niners will be successful. I can see how some may think they match up well with the Bills. They likely do put up 20+ points on us mostly from the running attack, but we can easily put up 30+ on them. I am tempted to open up a draftkings or similar account so I can put some $ down on this one. Bills to win and maybe also take the over.

Bills will probably be pressing the line of scrimmage hard this game.

Mullens only has 1 scramble and has the highest pressured rate in the NFL at 30% and has been hit 36 times, which is 5 more times than Allen in like half the number of games played.

 

The Bills should be coming after them all day and just paying attention to screens to the backs.

We are going to come at him early and often.  I think they will be lucky to score 10 if I'm honest. 

The lowest they've scored this year is 13 against the Saints.  It's a difficult game to predict because I've seen the 49ers blow out the Pats and then get blown out at home against the Packers.  I'd pry put it in the 20 to 27 range in points scored for both teams.

Honestly, this should be an easy win. I salute SF for even being 5-6 at this point but they are a shell of themselves.  I hate betting the Bills but I am seriously considering it.  You can’t lose to Nick Mullens and a team without their best 2 players on offense and defense. 

This won’t be an easy win IMO.

 

I ultimately think the bills win, but I think it’s going to be very close.

 

Monday night on the road against a team who can run the ball very well, coupled with a good defence. It’s not going to be easy.

I was thinking of throwing down on this one too. It was a good line, and some ignorant betting has moved it. I dont think you can win consistantly w just being a good running team, again look at the top ten rushing teams. A few .sub 500 teams in there, also a few teams that scare no one. These offenses are just too good. I feel the Bills are a top 5 offense, despite the stats having us at 11. To quote Tasker yesterday,  we are very, very good.

 

Can 49ers shut down the Bills? Maybe...but I think too much has to line up for the niners to prevail.

The 49ers are hobbled with injuries on both sides of the ball.  Josh shows up to play under the bright lights. If not for the Zona Hail Mary, Josh and the Bills would be coming into town riding a five game win streak.  The Bills' defense is going to be run blitzing and daring Mullins to make them pay with his arm.  Mullins can't push the ball down the field.  Listened to one of the San Fran beat reporters this week saying that the San Fran offense is essentially an "18 yard bubble" with Mullens under center because he doesn't have the arm strength anymore to effectively throw the ball down the field further than that.  That will allow Poyer and Hyde to cheat up on the line to help in run support.

 

I think the Bills win by two scores.
