Why wouldn't we be able to do something similar?

I agree with you 100%! I'm tired of watching other teams miraculously transform into football beasts. Where's our turn!?

Unfortunately this kind of thinking is like thinking with your dick.

It's premature to have any expectations. Our fate will completely lie on what QB is chosen.

We're gonna be the 2009 New York Jets (surprise team). We're gonna go 9-7, win the division, and lose to the Packers/Falcons in the NFC Championship.

if a new cba is agreed on in time and we have full ota's and tc then i expect playoffs, if no cba is agreed on and the majority of tc is gone and the season will be forced to start right away i expect struggles but a team that plays smart, well coached and in games against the good teams in the league and possibly win those

If the offense starts off fine, I'd like to see some tangible progress in the offense by the end of the season.

Not sure how people can expect anything higher than 8-8. Odds are this team isn't going to shift from 3-yard and a cloud of dust, to complicated West Coast offense just like that.

You always surprise me with your eloquent and insightful critiques. Bottling up all of that into a smiley is impressive.

This team is in far too much flux to be able to seriously predict anything more than 8-8. There's 1-2 serviceable QB's we have a chance of landing in the FA/Trade.

Stuff that I'm reading got me pretty hyped up.

At the very least, I fully expect this team to be smarter, and extremely competitive on a consistent basis in 2011. We'll finally have a cohesive staff that's smart, strategic, and more importantly in unison.

In Jim I trust.

Jim is better than Pete.

"What's your deal?"

Championship.

Even with the CBA cloud hanging over us, we can't start any worse than last year. We're still in a weak division, I'm gonna say 8-8 if Gore comes back 100%.

Once again there will be a lot of change and a lot of learning of new systems. Plus they don't even have qb. I would go 8-8 at best 6-10 at worst.

I agree. This next season will be rough, but I'm very happy that it's a fresh start. I'm tired of going through every game & being able to predict what will happen. Plus, all the steps seem to point to the right direction.

My expectations for 2011? They are meeting them right now. I wanted the culture to change. I wanted the vision to change. I wanted them to embrace our identity.

They've ticked all these boxes in the first week.

Beyond that I await the choice of QB before I draft new expectations.

Norcal, our opponents combined record this year was 119-137. I looked at your list of our 2011 opponents, and their W/L record (this years) is 119-137 - the same.

It'll depend on if a new CBA is agreed on in time. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to compete in most games this next season & we'll be a playoff contender by 2012 season.
