It was a sunny afternoon when the young man got home, with his mouth drooling for the taste of some cubed steaks! So he pulled the first package out of the freezer that looked like steak! After much seasoning and flowering the man was in a hurry to fry them into a golden brown color sort of like his skin and eat them without hesitation. As he finished his endeavor the smell of his meal made him think that this is chefs type of cooking. As he hurried to take the first bite of pleasure he quickly and profoundly found out that it was cubed chicken that he had cooked instead of cubed steaks! Yikes he said I'm just to tired to cook the steaks so the chicken will have to do. Is this the state of the 49ers settling for the chicken instead of throwing it away, and going after the steaks?
Most teams can still make the playoffs with cubed chicken. We can't keep getting out of our own way at times. It's like we are trying to cook the cubed chicken in the sun on the street when we have a nice BBQ right next to us.
The 49ers are not like most teams! We were the first team to win 5 superbowl so just getting to the playoffs with cubed chicken is not enough. We need premium cubed steaks to bring home what is rightfully ours!
I want the 49ers to do well as much as anybody but why exactly should Super Bowl titles be considered "rightfully" the 49ers. The Packers, Cowboys and Steelers all won multiple SB titles before the 49ers won one. They all then went into long periods of not winning titles, not making the playoffs, not winning playoff games when they did make it, etc. Even before the 49ers started their run in the 1981 season, they went 2-14, 2-14 and 6-10 (including the last 2 of those years under Walsh).
The 49ers had an unprecedented run of success from 1981 to 1998, including setting the record for consecutive seasons of at least 10 wins. Not coincidentally, the run was led by the 49ers having HOF QB play from Montana to Young for almost the entirety of that time period.
One could argue that the 49ers (and their fans) ate steak for 18 years, became complacent and are now being reminded how difficult it really is to win consistently in the NFL. I'm not saying the fans should not hold the team and ownership responsible for its problems but lets keep it in perspective. Every NFL "dynasty" has gone through the same types of problems the 49ers are experiencing now and we were all spoiled by the quality and length of the run through the 80's and 90's.
Now I see why we go 7-9 and 8-8 with this kind of thinking!
Why is that?
This is a ridiculous thread, I thought you were trying to get a laugh..if not, then you are really out of touch with reality.
Listen I know there is an up time and down time but to stay down and not be productive at all is not my vision of the forty-niners! Now we've been down to long now. Practicly the whole decade! Enough is enough!
