Our only loss during 15-1 was to a pretty bad Atlanta team

Not even close.  A .500 Falcons team in a house of horrors for Panthers fans that thank goodness no longer exists.  This 49ers team is many notches lower than the 2015 Falcons.

plenty of teams have had more talented rosters and still lost handily to Billecheck and Brady 

Not as many as you think.  Cam and RR are 1-0.

We'll see. That's the funny thing about the NFL, things can change very, very quickly. Sure, I expect the 49ers to he one of the worst teams in the league but we'll see what happens.

How in the hell is a Gooby thread still going?

 

Damn, I posted in it too.  fml

Their is no way we lose to the 9ers, unless Cam gets knocked out of the game and DA stinks it up. I have no worries with this game. I expect to be 3-1 after the 1st qtr of the season. I also think we can beat New England, we always play them tough.

Shanahan is familiar with the the Panther's defense, but the Panther's should also be familiar with his offense. Brian Hoyer is a decent starting QB, Carlos Hyde is reportedly improved. They have a good receiver in Garcon, but not much across from him. 

It's a long trip for the Panthers, in the stadium of the Super Bowl loss, but going west is easier than going east. 

Brian Hoyers arm is so week it makes Chad Pennington look like Brett Favre...

Its kind of hard to get it up for a team you beat 38-0 two weeks prior..... not to mention Chosen was born the night before and Jstew didn't play.

Ahmad Brooks was indeed just released.  Not that it matters that much, but still.

Excuses. The point is that unexpected results happen every week in the NFL.

But also true.  Also following the OBJ/JNo incidents/roller roaster win in New Jersey. Perfect storm.  

Week 1 should be nothing but pure ass kicking.

What excuse are gonna be used if we lose to SF?

 

All I know if we lose to a talentless team like SF you better brace yourself, this is the easiest game we have all year

The Pats have a 40 year old statue at QB.  A GOAT 40 year old statue, but still.  We will have a more talented 53 man roster.  

Yea but they will be ready to play. NE is never unprepared.

Of course they will.  Vegas, and most of the experts will pick them.  And they may win.  I wouldn't bet on it either way in October but I like our chances.  I would love our chances even more in the Minnesota Dome in February after the 40 year old statue takes another year of wear/tear.
