Sorry, but week 1 worries me. West coast against a largely unknown team. 

 

I won't be counting it as a guaranteed win anytime soon. 

Then we'd be frauds.  No excuse not to beat those guys playing with a full deck.

Slow starts, west coast, it's just Week 1, etc...

 

But still, if we don't come out with a win in Week 1?  I'm worried about how good this team can be.  There is NO reason talent wise the 49ers should be able to compete with us. Not saying I expect a blowout, but anything less than a win in SF and my hopes for this team take a hit.

niners have won their last 6 or 7 week one games

and even though they've been trash the past two seasons, they've inexplicably been dominant in week one

carolina needs to do their homework for this one

Big deal.  New coach, no QB, conference opponent, inferior team in EVERY way, this is a borderline "win or you're out" game for RR.

Shanahan's leading that team. His work made the Falcons offense near unstoppable with how he could get any player wide open for an easy pass by Ryan.

Would not be surprised in the lightest to see an unexpectedly close game.

That or we'll blow them out. Especially if it takes a while for the 49ers offense to get used to the playbook much like the Falcons struggled with.

Matthew is a putz but let's get real, Brian Hoyer?!

ANY west coast game is cause for concern. Coast-to-coast games are always tough.

For the west coast team going east or after a late Sunday or Monday night game, maybe.  But for a healthy bunch of finely tuned pro athletes making a middle of the day first class 5-6 hour flight for the first game of the year-should have NO effect.  NO EXCUSES in this one!!

I agree with the NO EXCUSES part of your post. However, I have very little confidence in a week one Ron Rivera led team. Not to mention it will most likely be the first time our QBs surgically repaired rotator cuff gets a full game worth of throws in.

Even a bad DA and his $2.2 mil cap hit should in theory be plenty enough in this one.

How are they largely unknown? They have no QB, OL, defense, or WRs. Shanahan may be able to make something of their run game but it'll take time for them to rebuild.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
