New 49ers thread for 2007 season

Yeah, it'll be difficult for the 49ers to truly exceed expectations this year. Winning 12 or 13 games is very difficult in the NFL. I would worry more about them only winning 7 or 8 and missing the playoffs. That would be a bit of a setback.

Good thing I don't think it will happen. :)

Ok, let's see if we can rationalize this. I think for the Niners to even think about winning the NFC West they have to go 4-2 in the division. So let's pretend they do.

That leaves 10 games to win at least 5 or 6.

Ravens, Bengals and Saints I don't really feel great about, but at least we play them at home. I'll be generous and say we upset one of them.

At Steelers, At Falcons, At Panthers and At Giants coming out of the bye all look like tough, but winnable road games. I say we split those.

That means it's going to come down to the last 3 of 4 games against the Vikings, Bucs and At Browns.

If we run the table on them, that would give us 10 wins and hopefully enough for the NFC west title.

Well it might be obvious that I'm a 9er fan by my little picture on the side there, but I love what the 49ers have done this offseason. They addressed all of their needs and for the most part did not reach too much to do so. Now on paper they have a pretty decent team, but that doesn't always mean wins. Now of course all the work has to be put in to make them a team. I haven't been this hopeful about the 49ers since Mooch was the coach.
