And once again, after a long time, the 49ers are the darlings of the NFL. They get the NFL maximum of 5 primetime games. This will be a big test for the team. They took the league by surprise last year, as NO ONE expected great things from this team. Even while it was happening. No one short of Skeebs, that is. But that was wishful thinking anyway. Anyhow, Harbaugh in his short time as head coach has rubbed a LOT of people the wrong way. he and Pistol Pete Carroll have a history that goes back to their college days. Jim Scwartz had his infamous Shakegate deal with Harbaugh last season, after the Niners last-second win over them. Speaking of Detroit, they come to the Stick for the home opener after our 3rd trip in 4 years to GB. At least it’s not the deal of winter.

The Niners have a pretty tough a start as they have the Lions, Giants, and Packers in their first 6 games, and play Minn in Minn. Again, though, I think this team has been stocked with talent for a few years, and is now finally coming to live up to the expectations of us fans. Super Bowl? Maybe, maybe not. They made a gigantic leap last year, and living up to that will be a tough tough task. That being said, teams like the Giants and Saints have gotten weaker, while only GB looks to be what they were last year. They’ll need some luck to overcome their huge turnover ratio last year. That kind of shit is hard to sustain. Although you have to think Aldon Smith gets better, and the D in general stays rock solid at creating havoc.
Offense? Well, the Niners finally have at least a decent cast of WRs. Moss notwithstanding. It’s a curiosity at this point, but he WILL draw attention. I’m sure we’ll see a couple new faces in the draft as there are a ton of WRs that look good at every spot in the draft. If the passing game improves (say top 15), and the turnovers stay down, that is the recipe for success. No one in the AFC looks very scary at this point, so the door is open for the 49ers.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
I’m out til maybe Sunday. Have fun . . .
11-5 this year up from my original 10-6 called in January
Hope they spend a week in Youngstown again, that worked out pretty good
BLEEP IT!
Bleep the Vikes, week in Youngstown THEN Bleep the Jets.
That IS the post of the day
Hello ……and how are you? You’re looking fine. How’s the kids. My how they have grown!
BLEEP!
Double BLEEP!
It’s just the calm before the storm of the draft which is before the calm after the draft.
BTW fellow wabbit hunters WHAT comes afta da draft?
Afta da Dwaft I mean.
Kids are fine just fine thanks
Alright time to start looking at mock drafts, Fox Sports guy has the Niners taking
Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech
Well, phil ,if tjhey don’t think they
‘ve solidified certain spots thru the draft (O line, say) then they’ll keep looking for FA guys out there. They’ve been saying all along that they can stillgo with one of Kilgore, Person, or even Boone at RG.
Boone would be awful light at 305, but that’s what the fronmt office is saying.
I certainly don’t think they stand pat. They’ll draft for RG and sign someone.
Yahoo. Sports has Mario Williams, OLB/DE
Baalke apparently has his sights set on someone, but he’s not saying. I’ve heard WR, OL, RB as the top wants. And BPA at what is left there when they draft. Poe is even a dark horse.
I’m sure we’ll all be wrong.
New post!
