Looks like it's time for you to be a Faithful again.

in 2011,, i had to get to the lions game before i really really started to think things would be different. i get how some got to that point after philly. takes me a bit longer. i am really interested to see how the team comes out sunday vs a team who has thier second string qb playing and everything to lose sunday. the mental part of the game always fascinates me. it may not be fan friendly to people who do not care about that stuff but how the team comes out. if they are focused is a huge little thing. and the little things make up the big things

you missed the staff meeting. that is wet blanket thinking and has no place here today!

To be fair . About Seahawks we got slaughtered in Seattle last year but two weeks later at home won a great game where Seattle really needed to win. So add in another year of the team learning the offense, Jimmy g, a dependable defense and we should definitely be able to split the series with them. Also looked way better vs bengals than they did, and that game was even at Seattle.

Rams are a whole other beast. Goff isn't exactly lighting the world on fire this year though.

we didnt have JG for either of those Hawk games too lol

Will be at home though and their QB is making his first nfl start. We are currently a 7 point favorite. For sure a tough matchup but odds are against them.

True but the other 21 have experience in winning. I may be an ugly game or ugly win.

you realize 0-2 doesn't exactly show that they know how to win, right? lol

Looks like it's time for you to let go of the past man, this is an entirely different team, enjoy it and have faith in it!

I see 9 maybe 10 wins on our schedule. I think we can split the series with the rams and Seahawks. I see a loss between the Steelers and browns. I see a loss between the falcons and saints. I see two losses to the rams, and a loss between the packers and the ravens.

I think that's worst case scenario.

Best case If we play our best the whole season I think we beat everyone except the ravens and a split series with the rams, and two additional losses somewhere in the teams I just mentioned.

All the sudden juju gets all the attention from the top DBs and he don't look elite.

James Conner stepped in nicely for bell but he's hurt. So now they got TE/RB jaylen samuels . Lol nobody should be overlooked but this ain't the same Steelers

I'm with CC on this one. We're 2-0. It's nice. But it doesn't mean JACK SQUAT in the big picture. The Rams are 2-0 and so are the SeaHags. I'm not ready to proclaim anything.

Don't get me wrong. Like the rest of 49er Fandom, I am cautiously optimistic. The team has started out well. They have looked good. Other than Staley, we have avoided serious injuries to key players. This is all good.

But it doesn't spell championship yet. It doesn't spell NFC West Title. It doesn't even spell playoffs. If we win, the only thing it spells is 3-0.

Which I will gladly take. Should we win this game? On paper, yes, we should. But, don't go counting those chickens just yet.

The mere fact that we're beating teams that we should be beating, is enough to convince me that this is not the same team as last year.

We're are showing the killer instinct through 2 weeks.

Am I saying that this is the Superbowl team??? No. But I will say that this team is heading in the right direction.

Week 2 win showed me a complete team win. Offense was good, defense stifled their offense.

This team will get better. I look forward to that.

Therefore I predict a minimum of 10 wins.

You think we're are going 6-8 the rest of the way?

This is a 12-4 team. 💯

I have a bet with a co-worker that the Niners will have a better record than the Cowgirls. The Cowgirls are projected to be 12-4 so anything less for the Niners will mean I have to paint my nails blue and silver. Here's to hoping we have a 14-2 record.
