@Giants (Kittle & Ford Return): WIN

Dolphins (Sherman Return): WIN
Rams: WIN (Jimmy G, Mostert Return)
@Patriots: LOSS
@Seahawks: LOSS (WZ starts calling for Mullens again)
Packers: WIN
@Saints: LOSS
@Rams: LOSS (WZ starts calling for Mullens again)
Bills: WIN
Football Team: WIN
@Cowboys: WIN
@Cardinals: WIN
Seahawks: LOSS

10-6

Lol. You have the niners beating packers, bills, cowboys and rams? They have no pass rush. Theyve lost buckner and bosa. This isnt the same team as last year.

Unfortunately with the way things are going for us with injuries and how good everyone else looks in this division. I think we finish 4th this season.

Back to the drawing board.

Too early to tell but it will be tough. One thing is certain, this year is crazy and I think it will continue to be.

we will see how good of a coach kyle is as he has to play with alot of moving parts. and yes. see how other guys step up in place of the guys who are hurt. i trust nick short term. but i am sad to think he is one hit away from bringing in cj

We will see I guess. I agree that we could lose any one of those, but I think we will address the pass rush with a team addition and maybe with Ford back in there will be some good chemistry. Who knows?

Yes, I still have hope. This is still a young team with a lot of young stars. The 49ers drafted well two seasons ago. We have to hold out hope that last year's draft will have the same impact.

There is no answer for replacing the game wrecker that Bosa was. So let's hope the push can come from other areas.

Lets everyone think about this for a second. After week 5, the 49ers play a playoff team every week (except for the Redskins. Yes I said Redskins)

That extra wild card spot (which annoyed me before) may be the thing that gets the Niners in the playoffs.

Hopefully Mullens can hold down the fort and they squeak their way to 9-10 wins.

I don't recall ever being so down after a dominating win. When you lose a player like Bosa, it's almost like losing your QB. I guess the Giants feel the same way after losing Barkley. Denver lost their best pass rusher before the season started. Carolina may be without McCaffery for some time. These aren't just injuries. They're season changers.
