"That's why they play the games" - has never been more appropriate to describe the Raiders racking up 500 yards and 34 points on the supposedly #1 Defense in the NFL.

I'm now more than a little concerned about the pas defense. Great to be #1 against the run, and Jacobs - the NFL's leading rusher - held to a long carry of just 9 yards and 69 total and an average 4.1 YPC, but you win in modern football by Pass Efficiency Defense more than Run Defense. The Niners pass defense is really leaving a lot to be desired. They miss Emanuel Moseley something terrible. 

They continue to blow coverages and allow way too many deep ball completions, though the 45 yard gain by Adams that set up the tying TD, was absolutely not a catch. Just a terrible job by the replay review.

It was good for Purdy to lead the team to a second half comeback. That was the one really important box he had not yet checked, and he absolutely did check it in Vegas. 

The Vikings are the worst 12 win team in NFL history.

Niners are at or near top in passing defense.  You don’t have the top NFL defense and not defend the pass well.  They anticipated run heavy Raider offense.  Got hurt by play action.  Lenoir had a terrible game.  Adams  is the best receiver in NFL (along with Jefferson) and played like it.  The pass rush was not as good as usual.  That’s due in part, I suspect to keying on Jacobs.  Also in part to being a little flat.

Can’t have the gaping holes for QB runs. He had three big scrambles.  

Purdy had nice second half.  Showed he could lead team back and executed a nice 2 minute drill.  We did see his limited arm strength on a couple throws. But thats a relatively minor issue.  Just don’t hang an out. (Niners don’t run out routes much anyway)

Hopefully Greenlaw and Banks are ok.  Get through Arizona. Hopefully get a lead and get guys out.  

Philly-NYG could be interesting.  Especially if Hurts doesn’t play.

Number 2 seed should get to pick opponent from the 3 WC’s. Then 3 seed picks.  I sure don’t like thought of playing a surging Packer team.
