you are delusional

For comparison purposes, here is where the mediocre 1994 49ers were at the halfway point.

1. September 5 Los Angeles Raiders W 44–14
2. September 11 at Kansas City Chiefs L 17–24
3. September 18 at Los Angeles Rams W 34–19
4. September 25 New Orleans Saints W 24–13
5. October 2 Philadelphia Eagles L 8–40
6. October 9 at Detroit Lions W 27–21
7. October 16 at Atlanta Falcons W 42–3
8. October 23 Tampa Bay Buccaneers W 41–6

I can't imagine the WZ after that Philly game lol

Honestly, that 5 game stretch until we played Atlanta would've been brutal around here.

The loss to the Joe Montana led Chiefs would've sent this place into a meltdown. There would be talk about how OL wasn't addressed (we were hit really bad with OL injuries). The Rams and Saints wins would not have been impressive enough. The Eagles win would've exposed us as frauds and I remember we were not looking too hot for that Detroit game. The MNF game against the Raiders was the Jerry Rice party and that horrible Kaufman injury, but other than that, we didn't take off until that Falcons game. It's a nice little reminder that even great teams don't run over every team in every game.

Congrats on your 60th win, coach! It's nice to see the wins stack up cause we've stayed healthy and got awesome qb play! He deserves this kind of winning based on the hell he's been through here.

i know stats aren't everything in football, but selfishly, I like our 49ers to have sexy stats. I like it when Brock gets a passing touchdown more so than I like to see deebo got a rushing touchdown (although I'm happy we scored). I also like it when our head coach has a winning HC record.

Now kyles 60-49 WL, I hope he doesn't get his 50th loss this season.

If the two rebuilding years of 2017-2018 are set aside, that's a 50-27 record 2019-2023. And that's with the absurdly injured/covid influenced 2020 6-10 season. 44-17 in 2019, 2021-2023 is insanely good.

Verrett sign onto the practice squad please just in case we need you

What are you doing up so early Guap?

What's up Bill i've never really been able to fall asleep before two or 3 AM since college. You could say I have a plethora of energy

Yeah, that first year had a ton of extremely close games too. I think we lost like a record 6 straight by 2-3 points or less. Lol

kyles def a good head coach. I love him as our coach, especially the culture and respect he's cultivated with the players. He isn't perfect but no one is. I also love having a offensive savvy head coach, I personally am not fans of defensive minded head coaches cause they rely so much on their OC. Belichick was successful but his situation was unique.

I was at that Monday night game. It was crazy with Niner fans whooping it up for Jerry and a sizable number of Raider fans despondent over the Kaufman injury. There were a few fights after the game.

do we know what hat he will be wearing, for the big game?

Yeah, it says a lot about the coaching staff, the front office, and the locker room that we've been so successful once the "rebuild" was essentially complete.

Obviously, I'm a biased 49er fan, but I really want them to win the Super Bowl--- I feel like they've built this team the right way: Largely built through the draft, reward your cornerstone players with contract extensions, judicious free agent acquisitions, fleece other teams in trades (CMC, Trent Williams). No one player has to do the heavy lifting, very much a team game where it can be any guy on the offense and defense that can ball out.

They've got a scheme that everyone in the league is trying to copy. Well-coached. And at the same time, one of the most physical teams in football. They could play well in a dome, but arguably, they're built to win in January/February.

That's why it's odd when you have posters like NC who say they, Lynch/KS specifically, have been failures in their 7 years and have no shot to win it all this year

Yeah, I totally agree.

I've been around a long time, and felt that Harbaugh hit his "CEILING" way quicker than Kyle ever did.

Maybe Harbaugh never had a real QB in his stint, but he didn't seem so bent on tweaking his system to make it work or getting that QB.

Carroll didn't have a QB early on with Wilson, but did everything his power to make him serviceable. He didn't try to make him Drew Brees....in fact, it was Wilson himself who wanted that. Left up to Carroll, Wilson would still be playing like he used to and likely still on the team.

Anyway, with Kyle we've seen offense we hadn't seen since Mariucci days, and a defense that's on par with Harbaugh's. Yet the problem is that we need even more offense/QB play now than we did with Harbaugh. That's the only reason we haven't won the SB yet......when not factoring in bad injury luck.

Harbaugh could've won a Super Bowl with a Garoppolo (maybe not a rookie Jimmy G)...Kyle just couldn't do it with Jimmy, and he likely is/was the closest HC in the NFL who could've done it........

But no, go complain because he couldn't do the impossible.

And why is KC offense sucking all of a sudden?

Can't wait for the Niners to win it all, for us, and then FOR KYLE.

Kyle/Brock combo seem to be just scratching the surface.

Not only are they winning consistently but even through multiple changes at QB, having our coaching staff raided by the league, losing our best defensive players (Sherman and DeFo, Ward etc), losing our top RBs, massive injuries to major cap hits (Dee Ford anyone?) and even some major blunders of draft capital.

Belichick, Sean Payton, and McVay couldn't handle one or two those

Certainly do, and now I think we'll get to see Kyle drawing up new plays altogether specifically tailored to Brock's strengths.
