The Big Question. Can we win it all? | Page 10

SanDiego49er · 2011-10-18T16:55:43-07:00

These are the improved areas. ~ HC ~ Coordinators. ~ Aldon Smith pass rush. Include Justin Smith, Ray MacDonald, and Ahmad Brooks. ~ Alex making better decisions, being more accurate and not turning it over. ~ Special teams is truly special. Akers, Lee and Ginn are playing at Pro Bowl levels. We have an AWESOME special teams. An overlooked and undervalued category. They consistenty have put us in good positions. ~ Kendall Hunter is an awesome backup. ~ Gore back from injury better than exptected. ~ The secondary seems better when some of the guys got back from injuries and the lineup changes. Not getting burned as much. ~ Carlos Rogersis a huge upgrade. Never seen him play this well. ~ Braylon Edwards is still coming back. He adds another dimension. We have among the best coaching staffs in all of football. Yes I put them that high. Who could turn what we had for 10 years into this but Harbaugh and his staff? The defense is stingy. They special teams is awesome. The O Line is big and powerful run blockers. The RB's are very good and we have more than 1. Alex is making better decisions and not turning it over and when we get down he is capable if leading us back to victory on the road against a good team. When did you ever see that before? So can we beat the real top teams and make it to the top? Like New Orleans, Green Bay, Chargers, and Patriots?

Now, now, let's all play nice.

One other thing, I hope to god we win a Super Bowl! But how about we just enjoy the ride? There is an awful long season still ahead of us; and well, I want to enjoy the ride.

Indeed, if everything broke just right, just right mind you, we could do something special.

Hell, Sandiego is Happy! Well shucks, that right there is a Christmas Miracle.

That will be our true test for the season, methink.

Hoping they have as many losses as we do. Hard to win in lambaeu in winter.

For once we have a chance. Not saying we will...not even saying probably. For the first time in a decade, we have a chance.

The passing game at the NFL level is complicated. It takes time in a new system to build a decent passing attack. I am very confident that as the season progresses our passing attack will improve. It is a lengthy process.Unfortenately for Alex Smith haters this process will require a lot of patience. Somthing that they clearly do not posses.

A lot of commentators on ESPN and other networks start a 49ers topic with "The 49ers have an excellent front 7, improving DBs and a very good special teams unit. They run very well with Gore. BUT, with Alex Smith" It's the "BUT" syndrome with Alex Smith! Heck, even stupid Ricthie said the 49ers are capable of losing the next 10 games. We all know he's referring to Smith as the weak link. The 49ers win in spite of Smith, not because of.

So I guess for the 49ers to get the respect they deserve, have to win the Super Bowl.

Jesus Christ, coming into this game Smith had the 3rd best passer rating in the league, was down 2 of his top 3 receivers, throws the winning TD to beat an undefeated team with scariest D-line in the NFL right now in their house, for his 3rd 4th quarter comeback on the east coast this year, and you come in here and jump on some whiny soapbox trying to convince us how awful he is?

You sound like some crazy drugged up berkeley hippie trying to yell at people about how democracy and shaving is evil. No one's listening bro.

...As long as we stay healthy, I see no reason why we can't win it all. We have a talented team playing with confidence and the best coaching staff in football. It's the best. It has to be. What other coaching staff could do what this staff has done in the past, what, 3 months? They've completely erased 8 years of franchise-wide suckage with a limited offseason and in just 6 games.

Now, that doesn't mean we will win it all. The playoffs are a different beast, and if we make it we will have probably the least playoff experienced team there. It's a long season and a lot can happen. But, today, I don't see any reason why this team isn't championship caliber; when you play effective offense and have a stifling defense and control field position each and every game that is championship caliber.

but...one game at a time.

I think the Niners can win it all IF we stay healthy and get Braylon Edwards playing and making an impact. It is all about matchups in the playoffs---getting a bye would really help and having the NFC Title game at candlestick. Go Lions--beat those Packers twice! In the Super Bowl---I would really trust the Niners coaching staff with two weeks to prepare to have this team ready. Games like last week against the lions are stressful but good for the offense to have to make plays to win a game.. That know that you can do it because you've done it before always helps.

You gotta admit he is the weakest link on the team.

The QB ranking says he is top 10 and he has been as high as #3 on that list....

http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tabSeq=1&statisticPositionCategory=QUARTERBACK&season=2011&seasonType=REG

8 Alex Smith SF QB100 158 63.3 26.3 1,090 6.9 181.7 8 2 49 31.0 44 17 1 16 95.2

To say that Alex is the weakest link is really a stretch. He might not be our best player, but he has played pretty well the past 6 game. As long as he plays within himself and with confidence, he will lead this team to a winning season. If we get into the playoffs and have a first round bye will only increase our chances of winning it all. I could see this team being like the Giants team that beat the Patriots in the SB. No one expected the Giants to win and I know I am being a homer when I say this, but I think this team is much better than that Giants SB team. So yes I have no doubt this team is capable of winning it all!

Think about it this way. We dont get 400+ yards in a game cause special teams gives phenominal field position that we dont need 80 yards to go everytime so thats a stat that seems irrelevant

Yes i agree 100%
