The 49ers win their first two games vs. the Cardinals (MNF) and @ the Rams.
We finish those games with a COMBINED 380 yards for a 2 game average of 190 yards/game. Alex Smith throws for a paltry 252 yards (with 0 TDs 0 INTs) COMBINED in both games for a 126 yards/game average. TERRIBLE. Worst offense in football, by far.
Everyone on the WZ rejoices at how awesome of a year it's going to be and how great a job Alex is doing.
Unfortunately, the seeds were being planted for a giant beatdown for the rest of the year.
I can't predict how bad/good we would have been if Rocky Bernard didn't destroy Alex Smith, but clearly our offense was a giant s**tshow that entire year and nobody can make an argument that Alex was going to do any better than Dilfer (and he sure as hell wasn't going to do better than Shaun Hill).
The point I'm making is this: this is fools gold. Our 2-1 record is not allowing us to see how terrible we actually are on offense right now. I can only hope that the coaches can see this.
If not, get ready for another losing season.
