...at least in some circles, will be that the 49ers either aren't as good as had been thought or just laid an egg yesterday.

 

If you hear or read that, don't bother getting too pissed off.  I understand the feeling, but it's kind of pointless.

 

The Patriots game now becomes the next "measuring stick", and I'll be anxious to see how we do there.  Of course, there are also the two games yet to come against the Saints.

 

Celebrate yesterday to the fullest, but there's plenty of season yet to go.

Not that I am not worried about the Pats but I saw the 49ers as a far better team talent wise. The Pats have Brady but that's it and we ripped one of the best olines in football apart, just imagine what a imoble Brady will have to deal with.

At this point we are 6-3 and  guaranteed no better than 6-10 unless we keep winning.  In order to stay in the divisional hunt we need to keep winning.  NE is the next one up. We need to do what good teams do.  Win at home and steal a few on the road. So far we have gone 3-2 on the road and 3-1 at home.  If we can keep winning at home and steal another one  or two on the road we will be fine.  Can't be content yet. We are just coming into our own.

This team is built to beat the Patriots just the same as the Giants did - with a ferocious pass rush.  I don't care what QB you have, if you've got pressure in your face, you won't play well.  Carolina is ready to lay Brady on his ass.  It will be a good game.

I would consider the 49ers O-line the best in football. They don't really have a weakness at any position. Carolina just pooed all over that and pooed on Kaepernicks head in the process (pie to anyone who could photoshop or .gif Kaepernick getting shat on). I would tell Mr. Brady to have the best anal lube he can find available.

bingo. that is the ONLY way you beat the Pats. relentless pressure up the middle, collapse the pocket or don't allow Tommy to get comfortable.

 

Gronk is the only guy I worry about and we kinda took care of Vernon Davis yest.

It's pretty obvious they aren't high on their offensive coordinator or Kaepernick.  I was browsing some 49er forums before and after the game and there's even some fans wishing they had Alex Smith back.  49ers will make the playoffs because they have a top notch defense and solid running game.  Not every team can shut down their offense like Carolina, so that'll win them 10 games.

i think we match up especially well with the Pats, don't think they can compete with our physicality. Our front 7 just SHUT DOWN the best rushing attack in the league and sacked one of the most mobile QB's behind the best OL in the league 6 times. 

 

See you soon Brady... prepare yourself.

I'd be lying if I said there aren't some games I take more pleasure in winning than others.

 

Smacking down Brady would be rainbows and unicorns :D

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
