DVOA Preview: 49ers vs. Seahawks
The Seahawks offense is hurting since Week 10, but the 49ers team is literally hurting everywhere, down so many good players.

I think Warner's going to start. It's just practice footage, and that can be misleading, but he does not look like someone who needs an extra week right now.

So, we had the full gamut so far.
A quick-strike Shanahan drive, a pressure-filled Fangio stop, a "49ers can't tackle" score, and a Patullo, Resident Genius stop.

The busiest playoff day of the year is here! Bills-Jaguars! 49ers-Eagles! Chargers-Patriots!
I'm kinda feeling the home team in all three of them, to various degrees of certainty.
If today's half as good as yesterday, it'll be great, and the DVOA Discord will be rocking.
