The niners have had the complete opposite:

49ers opponent's win/loss record (away) - 53-24
49ers opponent's win/loss record (home) - 30-47

The Cardinals have had an easy time on the road, and have had their more difficult opponents at home (Colts, Vikings) while the 49ers have had to go on the road to play their more difficult opponents (Colts, Vikings, Packers)

I smell conspiracy!

That is some bulls**t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting Statistic...

49ers formula for winning: SF is 5-0 this season when Frank Gore gets more than 15 carries and 0-6 when he doesn't (DNP in 2 games).

A lot of schedules are determined based on a rotating division schedule. Meaning that 14 of your 16 games are against your own division and then another division that rotates every 6 years or something like that. Only two games are determined based on record. And again, those are based on LAST YEAR. Teams get better (or worse) from year to year.

No, you play each team in your division twice a year, once at home, once on the road.
You play each division in your conference every fourth year. You than play each non conference division every fifth year. The other two games are determined by rank from the previous season. Theses two other teams are from the divisions in which you don't play that season. For an example the niners have played atlanta and will play philly this season. All teams were ranked second in their respective divisions last year.
What the schedule doesn't explain is how they determine the home and away games of non divisional opponents and the order in which you play each team. And that my friend can be a factor in who misses the palyoffs, who gets in through a wild card spot and who wins there division.

lmfao

the NFL is on the last year of the 2002-2009 schedule rotation they put into effect back with the realignment of the divisions

it's not like the brain trust of the NFL is sitting in a room filling out schedules and says hey lets give the Cards an easy home schedule this year ha ha

if you've played a team in your rotation at home the next time you play them will be away

Maybe the conspiracy is to at least give us some home games we can win.

It rotates, we play the Raiders once every 4 years. So if we got home last game they get home next matchup. Same with all the games. Its just the way they do it.

It's a conspiracy the NFL would mush rather have a team with no history that nobody cares about in the playoffs over a legendary franchise with a much bigger national fanbase. I say we boycott the establishment.

Its a league based on today's action. They would rather have Fitz, Warner n co. be in the playoffs rather then A Smith, Crabtree n co.

The nation is familiar with Fitz, he's on Madden. And Warner, everyone know that grocer's story.

Smith is known as a recuperating bust and Crabs is known as a holdout diva.

I guess that's why we didn't get any calls last week against Seattle...CONSPIRACY!!!

Who said the NBA was the only sport that was fixed.
