There are a multitude of different scenarios that could play out in Week 18 the affect the 49ers in the playoffs. The most important of those, of course, is getting the number one seed in the NFC and the all-important first round bye. During his press conference yesterday, Kyle Shanahan addressed whether he’d adjust his management of players based on the scores around the league.
“I think about a lot of that stuff. I don’t talk about it all. We’ll see how it plays out and we’ll see what the situation is and I know one thing we would love to be the one seed, but right now we got the two seed and we want to make sure we at least stay the two seed.
