I bet we crush them. Still have a ton of talent, it's our home opener, players hungry to prove people wrong, and the new coaching staff will implement some things that teams haven't seen from us on film before.
That's usuall the nature of a new regime, new 49ers coaches haven't lost their 1st game since Mooch in '97...
2003 (Erickson): Niners 49 - Bears 7
2005 (Nolan): 49ers 29 - Rams 25
2009 (Singletary): 49ers 20 - Cardinals 16 (Sing lost his first game as interim coach the year before vs Seattle though)
2010 (Tomsula): 49ers 38 - Cardinals 7 (Tomsula was interim coach)
2011 (Harbaugh): 49ers 33 - Seahawks 17
