This team WON'T make the playoffs. | Page 6

SanDiego49er · 2009-10-15T16:32:47-07:00

Although this team is improved in some categories it is still a rebuilding project in many and very overrated on the WZ IMO. Let's look at the games and schedule for starters. Then we will look at other issues effecting this team. The reasons why we aren't a playoff caliber team I state below at the bottom of the post. 1) Cardinals (WIN) - they were missing key players at the time they played us and will be tougher next time. 2) Seahawks (WIN) - A very poor team this year and some key injuries. 3) Vikings (LOSS) - An elite team and they beat us. Say what you want about playing almost good enough. They beat us. 4) Rams (WIN) - When and NFL team plays a college team you are supposed to win. 5) Falcons (BIG LOSS) - A very good team beat us soundly in every aspect of the game. 6) At Texans - (loss). 7) At Colts - (big loss). 8) Titans (win). 9) Bears (loss). Cutler vs. Hill... 10) At Packers (loss). 11) Jaguars (win). 12) At Seattle (loss). They will play better at home. 13) Cardinals (loss). Getting some key players back now. 14) At Eagles (big loss). 15) Lions (win). 16) At Rams (win). You are supposed to beat college teams. 7 - 9 is what we are looking at as a best case scenario. Also look at these things. ~ A playoff team doesn't have 4 / 5 Offensive linemen who can't block. Please show me the last playoff team that has this.... ~ Inconsistent pass rush. ~ Bottom ranked offense. Show me an offense ranked this low that makes the playoffs. There is no ability to pass or come from behind. Thus there is very little ability to win against good teams. ~ Lack of GAME BREAKING SPEED. Good teams have game breakers like the Vikings, Saints or Falcons for example in the NFC. They have guys who can take it to the endzone. We have guys who get caught from behind in the open field. ~ Very questionable game day decisions by the coach. Calling a timeout to give a pep rally at the NFL level. I mean come on.... That cost us when Delanies fumble that wasn't a fumble could have been overturned. That's not playoff worthy. Bill Walsh or Jimmy Johnson would never make a move like that. Singletary as a motivator 10/10 - no questions. Singletary's game day decisions 4/10. That doesn't get you deep in the playoffs. ~ A QB that throws a pass like a punt and can't come from behind. Can only "manage" the game to a win if you are up. But will lose if you are down. Another overrated year. 49ers fans are hungy for a winning program but these factors make us still a rebuilding team. Playoff teams don't have this many holes. Just watch the playoffs the last few years. They don't have this many problems. [ Edited by SanDiego49er on Oct 15, 2009 at 16:39:30 ]

Actually I think he is decent overall. A master motivator. His game day decisions concern me and sometimes his passion gets the best of him.

Motivator 10 / 10.

Game day decisions 4 / 10. A timeout to have a PEP RALLY that later costs you an important challenge... Amateur hour at best.

Yelling at opposing teams players instead of keeping your focus and compusure 2 / 10.

The Singletary passion and intensity is a mixed bad. That's all I'm saying.

And the personnel decisions leave something to be desired. Cut or kick returner? Chilo is still a starter?

Well his timeout worked against the Cards and Vikings and im sure if Coffee didn't make him burn a timeout, he wouldn't have done it. That didn't lose us the game though. Cutting Rossum, it was clear Rossum just didn't have it anymore and as far as benching Rachal earlier, it's not like we have great guys on the bench and Rachal is a young guy who played well late last year and im sure Sing thought he would get it together at some point and is at least making the change now. Nolan use to stick with guys no matter what.

We could do a lot worse than Mike Singletary as our HC!

They should keep playing but the O Line and Coach game day decisions don't look playoff caliber to me along with the WR's and QB.

This team is still a work in progress, and most likely will continue to improve under Singletary. I could be wrong, but if they do continue to improve, they have a good chance to win their division.

i was just kidding about firing the coach! i think our problem is really our QB... we need someone that can keep the offense on the field and convert those 3 down passes and keep our Defense fresh and we'll be okay. Hill can't scramble for jack when the pressure is applied. Smith can scramble but can't QB period...!i dunno... i just can't see our defense winning too many games for us... we played the lowly rams and what our D scored just as much as our offense? man that's speaks much for this offense!

Hey take the year off or maybe a couple of years untill the 9ers are a SB contender.

you can be a fan and still question the team and its ability. You think Browns fans sit around defending Mangini?

The NFC WEST is the most pathetic division in all of football. It gives us our only chance of making the playoffs IMO. In a real division there is no way this team makes the playoffs.

Can you imagine us in the NFC EAST?...

Obviously we wouldn't have a chance at the playoffs in a good division.

Now seriously, how much you putting on the line here?

Ok, that all comes with time.

Extra week of practice w/ the bye and a pissed off Singletary..sure RIGHT now, we're not playoff ready..but what teams are? Besides the elite teams of the NFL. Its a long season.

I think you also don't see the bright side of the picture that we went to the NFC Champions house and beat them in their home opener..won our home opener..should have beat that "elite" NFC team in the Vikings in their house if it wasn't for a bonehead play by Roman. Blew out the Rams, but that was expected. Got blown out by the Falcons based on Singletary not preparing the team properly. I think he/the team saw us beat the Rams 35-0 so maybe they took it a little light that week in practice..can't do that in the NFL.

We're getting Gore back and who knows how Crabtree will do..whos to say he won't hit the ground running? Adding him and Gore back to our offense will help A LOT.

I think you/a lot of 49er fans are still kinda down in the dumps over the ass beating we just got, but I fully believe this team is THE team to beat in the NFC West and we may not be the Vikings, Saints, Giants..etc..but I do expect us to make the playoffs.

QB is a huge problem. Hill is not a long term answer. Alex appears to be a bust at this point (that's really too bad). The WR's are so overrated. I hope Craptree turns into something like we thought. We need him to.
