49ers starting OG Josh Garnett and LB Malcolm Smith out indefinitely

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.

    • Nah you are just haven't watched all of the playoffs....   And im referring the playoffs were hes currently sitting at .895 % and over 3 gaa    But again gotta beat the best.   Those of you who are gonna act like chicken littles before a matchup is even decided lol
    • No, I don't root for drops to be what loses a game, especially from a player who has/had drop issues, as that's not showing improvement. And no, I don't resent it if they win, just as I don't "celebrate" if we lose either.  But I don't get upset if we lose because I know it's for the best for our future, just like I don't go running through the streets celebrating a meaningless December win that doesn't do anything other than hurt our draft stock in a lost season. In a year like last year and this next year, where we've put considerable assets into the offense at the expense of our defense to be fixed later, something both fans and the team themselves know, as you can only add so many players in any given offseason.  Then I'm looking for us to click offensively, have everyone looking better than the year before and show growth.   But then the side of our team we know is a weakness, to be the reason we lose in a high scoring game.  Give me Bryce going down and taking a 2 point lead with 2-3 minutes left in the game, but then our defense almost holding the other team from getting into scoring position and they end up needing a 55 yard FG to win the game and beat us. That can happen while our young defensive players show tons of promise, but still have one or two too many holes and/or just inexperience that it costs us games in the end, but it's still a successful season of growth and improvement. Or even better, just look great on both sides in a close game and end up getting totally screwed by the refs with a bad late call that hands them the game. And again, those are the kinds of things I'm wanting to see happen once it's already a lost season.   And I'm only saying I'd rather not make the playoffs when the alternate scenario is making but losing in the first round. Because those are the scenarios where we improve as a team, get better draft picks, and an easier schedule the next year.  You then use the cap space and higher draft picks to fill the remaining defensive holes with impact players and you're then cooking with gas in that next season and have real potential.
