Golden Nuggets: Nearing The End

Good morning folks, the final game of the season approaches. One thing I was wondering was who I preferred win the NFC West. I kind of want it to go to the Rams, but at the same time I don't want them too confident in their young quarterback. God forbid the kid plays above his talent level and becomes a super star. But then again, the Seahawks and their fans are ... less than accommodating over at Field Gulls, which is, I will admit, a very well-run blog. I think I'm still leaning towards the Rams, which is odd because I consider 49ers-Rams to be the only real rivalry in the NFC West. The other two teams really don't spark anything for me. I won't be watching the game, I'll be busy at Candlestick, obviously, but I will still silently root for the Rams. Either way, the 49ers are taking the West next year. ... I hate saying that. It doesn't even sound believable to me, anymore. Enjoy the links.
Patrick Willis will do everything he feasibly can do to keep Takeo Spikes in a 49ers uniform in 2011. It will honestly upset me if Spikes is gone, so maybe Willis can convince him in some way. Takeo is the effing man. (MercuryNews.com)
Sunday will show us a lot of things as 49ers fans. The team insists they are going for a win, but a loss would help their draft positioning by a couple of spots. (PressDemocrat.com)
Ted Sundquist is the latest known candidate to interview for the 49ers general manager position. Fooch took a look at his credentials, you can find it in the "49ers Head Coach/General Manager Search" section after the jump. This guy honestly does not impress me at all and I wouldn't be thrilled if he was brought in. (SacBee.com)
The 49ers are sticking with their starters for the final game of the season. No snaps to the young guys, no increased playing time for fringe players; everyone will be a starter. (49ers.com)
If it was really up to Patrick Willis, he would be out there playing on Sunday, battering people left and right with a cast on his hand. (CSNBayArea.com)
Players, free agents and contracted alike, are gearing up for an uncertain offseason. I really would hate to see Manny Lawson and Takeo Spikes go, I think that would be detrimental to the 49ers defense. I suppose it would be nice to keep either Goldson or Franklin, but that's not a definite need. (SacBee.com)

If we win and Seattle loses
then we end up 2nd in the division. That means we would play 2nd place teams from the NFC North (Green Bay) and NFC South (New Orleans or Atlanta).
If we lose it doesn’t matter but if we win we need to become Seahawk fans for he day.

Alex smith will shine
In a meaningless game against an inferior west team Alex will come out and light it up! It’s his last chance to confuse us into thinking what-if ? Plus it’s an audition for the cards or hawks since that’s where he’s most likely gonna end up anyway!
Smith
Back up in SD.
I hope he throws 5 interceptions and loses us the game right there in the first half so we can be done with him once and for all, and get a better draft spot.
GO ALEX! And don’t forget to close the door on your way out.
Alex will be gone even if he lights up the Cards
New coach will want to start over. I agree the Chargers will lasso him to back up Rivers – suspect Volek will be elsewhere next year.
Seattle
That way a 7and 9 team will win and the rest of the league will bitch about it for the rest of the year. GO NINERS
NO
People will be bitching about it for a lot longer than that if that happens. Trust me, we don’t want that.
Spikes should be our priority signing
The others are good, but Spikes is Pro Bowl material, and makes an impact on nearly every single play. He is consistent unlike the other players mentioned. I’d like to see Lawson, Franklin and Goldson back, but there may be even better things in the draft. We probably wouldn’t get an immediate impact ILB like Spikes however.

Rams
Only so they will be 8-8 and our division won’t gain the infamy of being the first to put a 7-9 team in the playoffs. That will be remembered for a LONG time if that happens.
