I just got done reading Matt Maiocco's article on the 49ers and Cards.... And basically it's not looking to good for us. The Cards schedule is very favorable compared to ours.. I can see us going 9-7, but the Cards can win 10 or 11 games.. CARDINALS (4-2) REMAINING SCHEDULE CAROLINA (2-4) At Chicago (3-3) SEATTLE (2-4) At St. Louis (0-7) At Tennessee (0-6) MINNESOTA (6-1) At 49ers (3-3) At Detroit (1-5) ST. LOUIS (0-7) GREEN BAY (4-2 49ERS (3-3) REMAINING SCHEDULE At Indianapolis (6-0) TENNESSEE (0-6) CHICAGO (3-3) At Green Bay (4-2) JACKSONVILLE (3-3) At Seattle (2-4) ARIZONA (4-2) At Philadelphia (4-2) DETROIT (1-5) At St. Louis (0-7) * * * So if we split Cards series and win out in the division do we win the West???

I predicted a record of 10-6. I figured we would beat either Houston or Atlanta to be 4-2 at this point in the season.

So in order to get to 10-6, we will have to go 7-3 through the remaining schedule. I see that as doable, but there is little margin for error.. We will have win every game we are favorded or pick em'd in and steal one along the way.

The Niners' year is in 2010.

Looking at the schedule I have to agree, but it could still be a special season.

I still hope this year we can, but we'll need help.

I'll believe we can if we beat the Colts. That means we have a passing game good enough to drive us down the field and keeping our time of possession up, and also a defense good enough to at least help our offense out-score Peyton Manning.

That'll be what really shows me.

Indy only beat Jacksonville by 2. And they only beat Seattle by 14. Seattle beat Jacksonville 41-0. Can we be the ones to edge Indy? Hope so.

I think even if we lose Sunday we still have a pretty decent shot. Our division is still weak, and our schedule becomes cake after this Sunday. I can see it happening.

CHICAGO (3-3)
At Green Bay (4-2)
At Seattle (2-4)
ARIZONA (4-2)
At Philadelphia (4-2)

What kind of cake are you thinking of??

Yes, the card's are still one injury away from losing every remaining game.

Who on their team would have that much impact?? Warner? Fitzgerald?

I'm not so sure about that... I agree that there would probably be a couple games drop off with Leinart at the helm, but they have a stellar defense and their offense could float by and do just enough to win. Especially with their schedule. I was impressed with his play during the pre-season (and yes I know it was only pre-season!). They have a very good chance of winning 10-11 games this year, so losing a couple would still leave them ahead of us IMO.

Their pass defense is awful, their rush defense is great...I hope when we play them next time we learned and pass a lot because lets face it we will not be able to run effectively against them.
