Against the Raiders? Absolutely nothing.
Against everyone else? Realize that we could have been 3-1 after minimizing the turnovers.
But if Smith comes out throwing 350 yards for 40 points...then it means a s**tload about our new OC possible HC.

If the Niners blow out the Raiders then I will believe something special has happened.

All we need is one win to get going in the right direction. This team is talented and after we get our first win which should be on Sunday I think we will go on a nice winning streak.

It'd be pretty funny if Smith has like a 300 Yard, 4TD and 0INT performance. The confusion and arguments would be hilarious.
The problem with that is it'll be the first time in his entire career that he would have performed at that level, but certain people here will get that "I told you so" mentality as if it's a consistent thing with Smith. The only things consistent about Alex Smith are 1.) he's inconsistent and 2.) people make excuses for him whenever he does anything wrong. There would be a plethora of "where are the haters at now" threads, but when he reverts to himself next week, the threads and their original posters will be long gone until Smith does something just well enough to keep his job - again.

OR
if they make the mistakes and we capitalize and win by 2 or 3 points. then we'll know that the bad luck just got passed down to da raidaaahs. soon they'll be the ones getting screwed by dumb football or should i say, revert back to themselves while we move forward

And the wheels on Alex's bus go round and round, round and round, round and round....
Here's a thought for you, if you can wrap your narrow little mind around it...win as a team, lose as a team. You have no room to criticize anyone when you maintain the view that the QB is the only problem with this team, it just shows you as either ignorant of reality, stubborn to the point of ridicule, or just a plain old run of the mill troll.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: although QB is not the only issue with this team, it's the single most important. You can whine about the defense all you want, or blame Nate Clements or Frank Gore or Delanie Walker for fumbling, but despite all of those issues, a better QB would have won us 2-3 games so far this year. The two blowouts to Seattle and KC would probably still remain because those were truly out of hand, but better QB play wins at least 2, maybe all 3 of the remaining games. The sad part is most fans (including those of every other team) see this, there's just a bunch that refuse to remove their Homer goggles.

I would definitely take an ugly win. But a convincing blowout with offense/defense/st contributing would have me chugging the kool-aid again!

I would think that a win would help them relax a bit. U know at 0-5 that this team is PRESSING HARD & because of this, they are doing too much. Making mental errors that end up being costly. A could be just what we need to get back on track.

Keep in mind that our defense is allowing an average over 20pts per game. It is pretty hard for any NFL team to win when a defense is allowing the opposing offense to score at will. If it were not for the defense we would be 3-2

New England, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Indy's defenses are all allowing 20+ points per game. They sure arent having any trouble winning with their porous defenses.....

I don't know what it will do for the team, but the more important pressing need at this point is whether or not you got through to Coach Sing about your solution for turning the season around.
Eliminating turnovers, I can't BELIEVE no one had thought about that!
Seriously.
Seriously?
I was agreeing with you.
