Uphill climb to make the playoffs

[Mr. Scot]

I don't know if I'd pick us to win against the Colts right now.

Lot of football to be played between now and then though...

If our defense keeps playing lights out we can beat any of these teams, it will not be a cakewalk for any of them.

The texans who our defense shutdown, just beat the chiefs who many considered to be the second best team in the league.

Any given sunday.....

Chiefs also have a banged up Mahomes and a bad defense.

Looking at the remainder of the schedule, I think it’s going to be really tough. Assuming we can sweep the Falcons and win most of our remaining home games, our most optimistic  expectations are to finish 10 - 6, but I am afraid 9 -7 is more likely which won’t be good enough in  the NFC.  We will need to upset some strong teams to solidify our position.

Sorry bra, the panthers will win at SF. For the past 10 years, every away game I attend we win. I will be at the san fran game. Panthers win!

I don't think the 49ers are as good as the record suggests.  Kinda put them and Patriots in the same tier.   Good but not as good as their undefeated record suggests.  Both the undefeated teams have played a lot of dysfunctional bad/teams to built their records.   And if not for a hurt QB we probably would be 6-0 too. 

I agree, I don't trust that offense and Jimmy G.  But the defense is legit.  Gonna be tough as hell.

I'd take those odds.

How many people had the game at Houston as a win with Kyle Allen in his 3rd career start and Donte Jackson out against Houston's potent receiving corps? I'm not preemptively calling any one of these games a loss. And if Cam comes back at even 90% of his preinjury form, it's going to be every one of those mf'ing teams that are going to chalk in the Panthers match up as a surefire L.

While I understand that a team can only beat the teams you play, that 49ers record may be a bit of a mirage. I will say that their defense appears to be for real albeit against subpar teams. However, the team's that the 49ers have beaten are the Bucs, Bengals, Steelers (with Rudolph at QB), Browns, and Rams. Between the 5 teams, they have 7 wins. On top of that, they play a 1 win Redskins team next week. We will have two week to prepare for our match-up with them.

I have seen GB play twice and while their defense seems greatly improved, their offense was not impressive in either game I watched. Hopefully, the weather cooperates for us.

Panthers are at least guaranteed to be 4-12 which is what I thought they’d finish after the Week 2 game

Honestly. are are where I thought we would be before the season (and that was assuming a healthy Cam to start the season). I had the Rams and Texans as losses. So we took a different route to 4-2.

With this defense, we can beat anybody on any given Sunday. I honestly think we beat GB in their stadium and beat the Seahawks at home. But I also think Falcons steal one from us and we split with Saints.

I don't like West Coast games.  The 9ers will be a rough one.  Titans are weirdos, Packers are schizo, Falcons are dildo, Saints can still go, Redskins are trash tho, Seahawks are gaybo, and the Colts are really-o.

Assuming they sneak in with a wild card spot, god you're praying you get to play the NFC east first round.

Going to either Green Bay, San Fran, or Seattle would suck ass.

This is the first post I’ve ever felt tempted to put a beat box behind.

Wurd.

We just need to sweep the Saints and that’s doable.
