Happy to sail, unobserved, under their radar screen. I don't care about respect from the national media.
Agreed. They can mock us for our miscues all they want while we iron out all the wrinkles in the regular season. They will know who we are come playoff time.
49ers could win the Super Bowl and you will hear people hate. Cohn would complain they didn't win the SB by more points. Ryan Clark would call em fake champs. Adam Rank will say his prediction was a typo and meant 13-3. Deion will say the Cowboys and Falcons were robbed. Skip Bayless still thinks Micheal Irvin was better than Jerry Rice. Lol yeah yeah yeah. I think they are all drunk.
Even back in the 80's the Niners didn't get near the coverage of the Steelers of the 70's or the Patriots of today. It's mostly because 2/3 of the population lives in the eastern half of the country along with most of the high profile sports guys and writers. Many of them don't even watch the late games unless one of their teams is involved. No big deal. I'll be happy to stay under the radar and win.
