2011 Schedule Analysis and Predictions

San Francisco 49ers 2011 Schedule

1 Sun, Sept. 11 vs. Seattle Seahawks - WIN - We seem to do well in first games for new HC's. This'll be at home, and I can't see us losing this.
2 Sun, Sept. 18 vs. Dallas Cowboys - LOSS - Toss-up. Dallas is a tough opponent, but we always play them well at Candlestick. We have the talent to win, and their secondary is poor (I see a big day for Braylon).
3 Sun, Sept. 25 at Cincinnati Bengals - WIN - Very bad, although very young, rebuilding team. We do our jobs, we walk out with an easy win.
4 Sun, Oct. 2 at Philadelphia Eagles - LOSS - Way too talented for us right now. Barring any injury to Vick, we will lose this game.
5 Sun, Oct. 9 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - LOSS - Freeman is only going to be better this year, as well Blount, Mike Williams, and the young Tampa D.
6 Sun, Oct. 16 at Detroit Lions - LOSS - We have had ownage on Detroit in recent years, but I think their defense will harass us and they will wind up winning a close one at home.
7 Bye
8 Sun, Oct. 30 vs. Cleveland Browns - WIN - Another rebuilding team we face who is installing a new defense. We're at home too and we're a better team.
9 Sun, Nov. 6 at Washington Redskins - WIN - Washington is just a very average team. We are more talented, and should win this game.
10 Sun, Nov. 13 vs. New York Giants - LOSS - Unless we can solve the Giants pass rush, this will probably be a blowout loss.
11 Sun, Nov. 20 vs. Arizona Cardinals - WIN - I still don't think Arizona can stop our run game.
12 Thu, Nov. 24 at Baltimore Ravens - LOSS - As much as I want this to be a win.. I don't think we'll stop Boldin, Evans, Torrey Smith, and Ray Rice in Baltimore.
13 Sun, Dec. 4 vs. St. Louis Rams - WIN - We'll beat the Rams at our house.
14 Sun, Dec. 11 at Arizona Cardinals - WIN - See week 11 comments.
15 Mon, Dec. 19 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers - LOSS - It's the 2010 AFC Champs...
16 Sat, Dec. 24 at Seattle Seahawks - LOSS - We might struggle with the Seattle crowd.
17 Sun, Jan. 1 at St. Louis Rams - WIN - We play well in season finales and I think we will steal this one for an upset.

Final Record 8-8.

I don't think we'll be worse than 7-9, based on our schedule, but I don't think we'll be better than 9-7. Here's to seeing whether or not the 49ers meet.. or EXCEED expectations this year.

I can see that happening but I'm still saying 6-7 wins this year

despite a number of pretty tough games and a brutal road schedule, I don't think our schedule is extremely tough, and the way it shakes out pre- and post-bye week is really in our favor. I pretty much agree with your assessment: think we'll struggle a bit early and then pick up a string of wins in the second half of the year against our division.

we'll have a pretty average record, but I think we'll be a lot more fun to watch.

Seahawks-W Revenge for last year
Cowboys- W Dont think they be as good as in years past
Bengals-W We beat 49ers east
Eagles-L tough matchup for us
Bucs-W revenge for last year
Lions-W Drew Stanton will be QBing this game
Browns-W Hillis gets smashed by Patrick Willis
Redskins-W lulz at Rex Grossman
Giants-L They will kill our Oline
Cards-W Kolb sucks
Ravens-W The game Ray Lewis officially passes the torch to Patrick WIllis
Rams-W Sam Bradford is a b***h
Cards W Kolb still sucks
Steelers- L Ben Rapes us
Seahawks-W I hate Seattle
Rams- L. we rest our starters






12-4 NFC WEST CHAMPS
PATRICK WILLIS IS ON A MISSION, HE IS TIRED OF LOSING
QUARTERBACKS WILL PAY AND THEY WILL BLEED THEIR OWN BLOOD



KILL THEM MOTHERf**kERS, PATRICK WILLIS

I agree with a lot of your picks but I don't see how we lose to the Lions or that last game in Seattle.

I say we go 9-7 or possibly 10-6.

on second thought, OTC is wrong, valrod is right.

Then, in the playoffs:

Wildcard round: #2 seed, b***hes. we rest
Divisional: ATL-W--revenge for the last two years
NFC Championship: GB--W--Alex Smith pees on Rodgers face

Super Bowl: PITT--W--Big Ben rapes a girl before the game, is suspended, and then Willis rapes Charlie Batch.

I'll give you 5 to 1 odds that this exact scenario plays out

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

A lot may depend on Edwards suspension! I dont see losing to the lions, and the hawks truly may not get a win this year, I say 9-7

I understand we've won 12 of the last 13 against Detroit, but this is a different team. The last time we played them was in 2009 and 2nd-year player Drew Stanton was making his first career start, and he threw three interceptions. Their starting RB was on IR, they had no one worth noting along their DL or in their secondary aside from rookie Louis Delmas, and their OL was poor as well as receiving corps outside of Calvin Johnson. Their TEs were crap. That game was also in San Francisco.

This is their 2009 roster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Detroit_Lions_season#Final_roster

We have a chance to win if Stafford isn't playing. But even then, we still might lose. We're playing in Detroit, and this is what their roster looks like THIS year:

Offense:
QB: Stafford
RB: Best, LeShoure (IR), Mike Bell, Aaron Brown, Jerome Harrison
WR: Calvin Johnson, Nate Burleson, Titus Young, Derrick Williams, Rashied Davis, Stefan Logan ...
TE: Scheffler, Pettigrew


Defense:
DE - Avril, Vanden Bosch, Lawrence Jackson, Willie Young
DT - Suh, Corey Williams, Fairley, Sammie Hill, Andre Fluellen, Quinn Pitcock
LB - Tulloch, Justin Durant, Bobby Carpenter, DeAndre Levy, Doug Hogue, Ashlee Palmer
CB - Eric Wright, Chris Houston, Alphonso Smith, Nathan Vasher, McDonald, Berry
S - Delmas, Wendling, Erik Coleman, Amari Spievey, Michael Johnson, Randy Phillips

LIONS PRO BOWL PLAYERS: Calvin Johnson, Suh, Stefan Logan (ST), Wendling, Delmas.

We have a really good shot @ 9-7.

I have a hard time seeing us win 4 road games, going 4-4 on the road. I'm saying 6-10, if we are lucky.

6-10 if we're lucky? Dude, we went 6-10 LAST YEAR with all the dysfunction, lack of coaching, injuries, inconsistency, and...well..SING AND RAYE...AND a tougher schedule.

Now we have at least the same (or arguably slightly better) talent, WAY better coaching, everyone is on the same page, our QB(s) are playing decent, and we have a easiER schedule in the beginning...and you think we'll do the same or worse?
