Welcome in everyone to the PFF NFL show.

0:27.6

I'm your host, Gordon McGuinness, joined as always by Dalton Wasserman.

0:32.3

And we have the unfortunate duty of breaking down a 12-6 tough, tough game to watch. Bad weather

0:41.9

contributed, but some bad football on display as well. A loss that puts the 49ers, relatively

0:50.1

speaking, I think you can pretty much stick a fork in them at this point. I don't think

0:53.5

they're going to be making the playoffs. I think 9 and 8 is too far. The ram's very much still in

0:57.8

contention. Getting a wild card in the NFC probably requires the commanders to fall off a little bit

1:51.1

And I think there's, I just feel like there's a fair amount of blame that you can actually

1:55.5

apportion to this loss to Campbell not going into this game.

1:59.6

So this grade on the season coming into this game was 58.3,

2:03.9

but he had earned PFF grades as 75.5 and 80.3 over the past two weeks.

He drops the bench in this one because Drey Greenlaw is back in the game.
