The Silver Lining Thread (positive people come on in!)

Im optimistic the offense will put together a solid all around game.

Their LBs are a definite weak spot in the run game..

Goodwin,Robinson and Juice finally show their worth this game

We got a defense worth talking about! And we can run the ball pretty good too!

So last week my gut tells me the cawks dont get more than 17... But took the safe 20 pts.

This week at home im feeling pretty good well hold them to 17, and we get a TO/PR/KR to help put up 20 pts on the board.

I think the 49ers will come out of this one with their first win of the season. I look for Hoyer to have a decent game with two td passes and around 250 yards. Just a good feeling.

If we FINALLY can get an early lead... The rushing game will be big again this week. 2 TDs and 200 yards passing is chill for me haha.

I really want Tartt and Kittle to stay healthy doe.. Trent Taylor might be a sleeper this week. Robinson might be the recipient of Garcon/Goodwin getting the attention.

Play action finally shows up this week

I want the 49ers to win every game...in my heart and mind.

Lose every game on the field to get a high draft pick.

I'm so conflicted

Two things that are great to have because they come through in away games and in stormy weather.

Lol. Kinda the same here. Well youre/were hoping for a W... But getting a loss especially knowing you had a shot vs your best division opponent could be good in the end when it comes to draft positioning

That's some serious optimism... that's the beauty of the NFL...you never know.

Not sure I care whether they win a game this year, other than for their mental health. Even if they win half their games, still possible though most unlikely, six picks in the top 100 goes a long way toward helping fix the team. That, along with huge cap space, makes the future bright. If Beathard proves to be a legitimate NFL QB then wow! a huge step.

I'd like to see them jell and begin playing smoothly in the second half of the year...nothing more, nothing less.

We have a legit shot at getting 3 day one starters within the first 2 rounds. Then we have two 3rds and a 4th which can be day one,okay maybe day two push-starters

Keep your eye on the prize. Senior Bowl practices start in 11 weeks!

Pittsburgh's 4th round pick may be mid round or later, but point made! Still...six picks in the top 120...great for trading up!

Holy crud, anybody know anything about the Ohio St. QB? I only saw him for a few minutes for the first time tonight. In those few minutes, he threw medium, threw short, in fact announcers said he completed 16 straight to end the game. In those few minutes he led Ohio St. down the field twice to beat their opponents by 1. He scored so fast on both drives that the opponents had a chance to win at the end and Ohio St.'s D had to man up. The opponent against which he completed 80+% of his passes for 330 yds. and 4 TDs? #2 Penn St.!!!

Go #1 overall draft pick! (Really I want to hear from guys who know something about him.)

Sounds like what the 49ers had with Coach Harbaugh.

Maybe, but Harbaugh was a f*****g psycho who probably would have stuck with Roman, who wasn't all that great a coordinator. It's not that I don't appreciate what he did for the franchise but I think Shanahan is probably a better long term option.
