So say we go 10-6, who do we lose to?

I am one of the biggest optimists on this board. But I am struggling to find 10 wins.

Best I can do is win Sunday, sweep ATL and TB, beat Jets and Miami, and steal one against either NO, NE, or SF.

Tall damn order. Damn you Buffalo!!!!

I know the premise of the post is we win 10 games, but I just don't see it.

 

I want to, really bad, but what have you seen in the Rivera era that would lead you to believe that we will only lose 3 more games while winning 8?

 

Having said that, I don't share the trepidation some of you have regarding the Saints. We always play them tough, no matter the record. So in their case, I expect a split at worst.

The key to the whole thing is winning this week and against Tampa.   Going 4-3 against Atlanta.  that would be 3 in a row.  If we could get on a roll and our confidence high we can beat anyone.  Let's not forget we played New Orleans well in 2011 (well 3 halves at least) when they had Peyton at the helm.   New England is beatable and if you cover Vernon Davis tightly Kaepernick is solvable.

I believe if we get on a winning streak that the skies the limit. Winning breeds confidence. Before the season started, I predicted we will go 10-6. I even made a bet with a friend that we will make the playoffs. All we need is to get hot at the right time and the momentum will carry us. These next two games are very important. I hope Rivera got the guys ready and they don't come out flat.

Why have we been looking forward to the Pats game since 03?  We played them the following year and kicked the crap out of them.  34-10 or something like that.  Morgan had a pick 6.  It was a sweet day.

Lose to 49ers, Fins, Patriots, and Saints twice.

8-8 possibly a falcon loss too going 7-8.

Rivera needs to go. I love how pleased everyone is we are the team we thought we were. We didn't lose every game in 11/12, these are the games we win vs. a winless team and one win team. The games I listed us to lose are the games that will matter, our scheduale is about to get real tough and it's hard seeing Rivera pulling them off. For me to believe, Rivera has to do something he has never done, beat good teams in crunch time when it matters, same with the players.

Twice to New Orleans, Once to ATL, Pats, 49ers, and probably Dolphins.

Don't see us winning those games.

Failcuns, Saints, and 49ers

10 wins was probably possible had we beaten the Bills and Cards. Now, I really, really can't imagine they'd pull it off. Let's just hope we can get a win against the Rams first. This team is like a box of chocolates...
