We'd be first in the division and would have just won 2 east coast (ok, cincy isn't exactly on the coast...) road games. And one of those road games will have been against one of the top teams in our conference.
So yes, we would be contenders if we win that game. And in the NFL, once you get into the playoffs anything can happen. But I still don't think we'd be likely candidates to win the super bowl.

Well we should be 3-0.. Without Vick if we get a win, I'll take it but no not contenders.

We would be 3-1 and have taken another step toward winning our division. When we win our division then we can worry about being a contender. Right now we are just learning how to play the game on a consistent basis. But I will definitely take a win next week and I don't care of Philadelphia is dinged up. A win is a win. They wouldn't be unhappy to beat us, no matter what shape were are in. So a win would be wonderful for the Niners.

If we beat Philly, no matter how beat up they are. It will bode well for this teams morale. We seem to do a little better against them each year. Not to mention being 3-1 for the first time in how long. I expect pay back for that loss against Tampa last year. We were completely out coached in that one.

No. But our defense may be legit.

Morale and Confidence would be very high. I expect us to go 3-3 in to the bye. 4-2 would be a dream come true. I think we will drastically improve during the bye week too. Especially getting someone like Braylon Edwards back

It's "how" we win. If we win by outscoring them, outplaying them and not on a fluke play - then Yeah!

It should. All of the doubt was erased when Romo beat the niners. Cinci was who we should have beat and they were

I won't consider us contenders until we go with this alignmen EVERY SINGLE PLAYt:
Offensive Line ...........TE TE C TE TE
Smith.......10 yards back shotgun
We have no offensive line....at all.
So we need to just stop pretending we have one and push the envelope of legal alignment and pass every play with 8 receivers out of the shotgun.
Smith is running for his life anyway.

Banged up or not, it's not easy to win in Philly. I would cautiously say yes.
