OFFICIAL Bye Week State of the Franchise Thread | Page 4

SonocoNinerFan · 2011-10-16T19:09:58-07:00

I think it's safe to say that our current state has exceeded the dreams of even the biggest homers. I mean think about this; all we need to do is play .500 ball the rest of way just to get to 10-6. Now with a week of rest and Braylon Edwards coming back we couldn't be positioned better IMO. The defense and special teams are two of the best units in the league and the offense has improved game by game, quarter by quarter. If Crabtree and Edwards can get their timing with Smith dialed in then I think any . . . I repeat ANY game is winnable. Barring catostrophic injury and allowing for the sometimes fluky NFL, I think we lose no more than three more games and end up with no worse than a #2 seed and a bye. In just six weeks we've come a long way from Suck for Luck . . . Is this fun again or what?

As a player you like the bye week as a fan the bye week sucks for me anyways. there's no football this weekend witch means I have to wait 2 weeks for football. It sucks seeing football for me & know I can't see my team play. Being 5-1 & winning da game b4 da bye makes it easier til deal with doe. Go niners!

It feels great going into the bye at 5 and 1 but a bye week means that I will spend the weekend catching up on projects around the house and probably won't be watching any football

. It's cool though, it's only one weekend.

As good as we've been, we're getting Edwards back

Another big target for alex, almost like having two Vernon Davis' on the field.

The browns aren't going to know what hit them.

Morgan's absence was very apparent. We need Braylon back ASAP.

This, crabtree made some grabs, but dude is so slow. Everytime he tried to make a move, he got swarmed. Morgan never looks that slow, and makes his moves on moves, instead of coming to a complete stop.

Where was kyle williams?

The fact that we went 5-1 into the bye; beating the Lions (on the road) before getting Edwards back shows just how far this team has come along, and how versatile this team is in the face of having people step up and perform when needed.

Feels like a playoff team right now.

This will be the self scouting week and we should start seeing the rotations be more consistent after this week. I wouldn't be surprised if Aldon and Culliver get bumped up on the depth chart.
