As I've been stating all over this thread that the 49ers are a terrible match-up for the remaining teams on our schedule, save for the Seaducks. And I seriously doubt the Seabuzzards go into Candlestick and beat the 49ers a 3rd straight time! Also, as the Sea-pigeons put more on film wins are progressively getting harder and harder for them. I honestly don't think people are paying any attention to this. The loss of the OT's don't explain how teams are now playing their defense. And losing both OT's has had an effect but how defenses are now scheming their offense is a different matter.

I had predicted us at 6-2 at the break and 11-5 when it's all said and done. Given we have the 9th toughest SOS the remainer of the year, that very well could happen even with all the reserves. BUT, it could also mean we're clicking the final 2-3 weeks of the season and rolling into the playoffs with momentum and we ALL know by now how that has worked out for a few teams who ended up winning the Superbowl! #6!
We would have to go through a tailspin to lose 3 of 8 remaining games. I don't see this happening. We should finish at no less than 12 wins but I strongly believe we can finish with 13 wins and if we run the table 14 wins. I had us at 13 wins coming into this season but then again I had SEA at 10 or 11 wins max so there goes that. I had no idea they would fare so well on the road and win the tight games they won. Credit to Russell and his desire to win at all costs sacrificing life and limb to do it
But in order to save themselves from disappointment many fans here are deliberately underestimating the 49ers (especially the guys on the pod cast of this site), and for me that's aggravating. People are not looking at the teams remaining on our schedule coupled with how the season has progressed. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that people are just coming up with these almost arbitrary record predictions with no analysis at all for pure emotional reasons.
I'm not saying that we will win-out, though I seriously think that's a strong possibility. But we certainly won't lose 3 more games.
