I'm not convinced we're a good team.

Have said it a couple of times: We're good enough to beat bad teams, but I question whether we can do more than that.

I think they are good against certain kinds of teams. They match up favorably against some personnel and schemes, and unfavorably v others.

I was thinking the same thing, but you can literally drive yourself crazy with thinking like this.

There are many different ways you can drive yourself crazy cheering for this team.

That's not a profile that says 'playoffs" to me

Ron. Just go. Just go.

I always felt like Fox's teams played to the level of their competition, for better or worse.  Rivera is just massively disappointing every once in a while... heh.

I think the notion that Rivera may not be all that well equipped to win in today's NFL might actually have some merit.

They are certainly good enough to make a run at a WC but getting into the tournament is a tough one this year. 

There was no reason to lose 51-13. That was just poor planning and poor effort. Kyle played like crap, and so did most everybody else. He’s a quarterback who made his 6th career start and got absolutely no help from his defense or his offensive line. 

And those losses have happened a little too often for my appetite w this regime. Remember, Carolina was suffocated by New Orleans twice in 2017. Last year, Pittsburgh. 2016, Seattle. 2014, Green Bay and Philadelphia.

Cam Newton was active for all of those losses. He wasn’t THE reason they lost, but he was in those games. Point is: it’s never one person’s fault. It takes a village to get your ass kicked by that many points.

There's a quotable line (that I just quoted).

I've said before that I think our current leadership has enough to make us good, but not great. Folks take the times that we look good as encouragement that we can be better, but I'm still waiting for that to actually happen.

...after 9 years, what you see is what you get. Rivera hasn’t win a big game against better teams in some time now 

that showing after the bye week, inexcusable

Dude if a halfway decent defensive mind makes an even half assed effort to stop this bullshit dump off poo the Niners offense does, they’ll get destroyed. I’ve seen Jimmy G pass further than 5 yards like four times total in every single Niner game I’ve watched. It’s just awful.

Matt Breida is liquid fire. He has to be the fastest guy in the NFL right now.

NFC is stacked this year.  I don't think we're a wild card team, quite frankly.

This.

If they played the Bills, McDermott would eat that poo alive.

Our inability to adjust and fix that poo fast is inexcusable.

Yeah, like I said. It’s going to be really tough.

They should keep doing it until it stops working. The point is to win not do difficult things.
