Joe and Syber both have a point. I don't think it's the fact that we lost -- it's how we lost. We were thoroughly outclassed and whooped by what we all thought was an inferior team run by a successful college coach who could never succeed in the NFL.
The Jets -- on the other hand -- lost 10-9. The Chargers lost by a TD -- but nearly tied it up at the end (they were one play away).
I don't think you'd see the hand-wringing angst you see now had we lost 24-17 or even 10-9.
I think most fans are upset because -- not only did we lose -- we got our keesters whipped. That's what is the most troubling.

Here are some facts about the NFL through week one:
AFC East/ NFC East

Colts 0-1/ Falcons 0-1
AFC West/ NFC West
Chargers 0-1/ 49ers 0-1
AFC North/ NFC North
Bengals 0-1/ Vikings 0-1
Do you see a trend?
Besides the Falcons (behind the Saints) and the Bengals (behind the Ravens...even though they won the AFC North last year) all these teams were mostly favored to win their divisions...and they ALL LOST. It was an UPSET WEEKEND. There were major disappointments across the board in NFL week one.
I mean I go to the Webzone and it's a huge Pity Party and damn near the end of the world for some of ya'll. It's a joke. Week 1 is done...there are 15 more weeks of some good football left. No A. Smith is not the "Answer" but it is very possible he can turn it around. Ohh yeah... Crabtree has not forgoten to play football...He's f'in rusty...so what...he has mad talent he will get his.
Now if we go 0-4 we are talking a whole different post....but until then....
NINERS!!
Remember if we beat the Saints on Monday night this whole week is irrelevant. We love being the underdogs anyways. F*ck the 'aints.
49ERS 4 LIFE.
Not one of those teams looked as bad as us and none of them lost against a team as poor as the Seahawks.

None of those teams were blown out by a team that was 5-11 last year. This post is as relevant as the 94 team losing 40-8 to the Eagles.

True. The (allegedly) Super Bowl contending Chargers lost to a Chiefs team that went 4-12 last year.

Not liking things so far.
Probably gonna be 0-2 after New Orleans come to town.
Then we gotta go to an improved KC, with their loud ass stadium (who just beat San Diego), then after that, another road trip to Atlanta! Think it gets easier? We got Philly coming to town, and Andy Reid has completely owned us what seems like forever.

Difference is San Diego lost by 7, whereas we got humiliated and lost by 25.

Stop getting too caught up in comparing other teams losses. They are completely irrelevant to the problems that ails the Niners.
