Predictions for the rest of the year

9ers win the NFC West with a 10-6 record
9ers D ranks in the top 7 in the NFL
Crabtree becomes a force by week 12
Lawson takes off as a passrusher with multi sack game week 7
The following players make the pro bowl:
Willis
J.Smith
F.Gore
V.Davis
E.Heitman
A.Lee

Offseason:
we sign Willis/Gore/V.Davis to long term extensions
a major OL is signed in FA
a major defender is signed in FA (either passrusher or safety)
OT taken with Carolinas pick (will be much higher pick than ours)
passrusher or safety is taken with our 1st round pick (whichever is signed in FA)

we contend for the superbowl next season.

The 49ers will win the NFC West this year with a 9-7 record and then lose by 40 points in their first playoff game.

They are two drafts and six players away from being a legit contender

1) Right Tackle
2) Left Guard
3) Right Guard
4) Safety
5) Quarterback
6) Pass Rusher

I hate to anticipate the offseason before the regular season is done, but Willis and Davis have no reason to sign extensions. This isn't because they think the Niners won't go anywhere, but its because of the fact that they'll make oodles more during the uncapped year.

Championship.

I agree but I firmly believe that Willis is the ultimate team guy, if offered a nice size fair contract I believe we could get it done. Vernon Davis is so behind Singletary I would have Mike himself talk to him about signing.

We were 5th in the NFL in sacks and got good consistent pressure save today's game. Give Lawson/Haralson a full year before we say that we have to get another pass rusher. I also believe we need to give Chilo a chance to develope before declaring him a bust. IMO we need a RT, LG, S for sure maybe a QB, passrusher.

Insert football cliche here:

"You can never have too many pass rushers".

And I would love to have D.Ware or J.Peppers next year!

I'm not sure if we can win the west with anything less than a 10-6 record.

D. Ware won't go anywhere and Peppers is too inconsistent, pushing 30 years old, and has never played in the 3-4.

Oh there's no way in hell we can't win the division, I'm not worried about that, even given the way we play, our schedule is looking like a blessing week after week in terms of scoring a winning record (with 3 division wins already taken care of).

we take 5 or 6 of the division games easy. plus we play the lions, titans who suck and the texans who aren't that much better. 10 wins easy.

Nothing in the NFL is easy. We could easily be 4-2 in the division. As for those 3 teams you just mentioned, yes we should beat them,but supposedly we were even talent wise with Atlanta and it should have been close. Would anyone have anticipated us coming out this flat today? No, just goes to show you that anything can happen.
