Next Year's Record | Page 4 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Every year I look at the schedule and try to predict what the team's record will eventually end up being in best and worst-case scenarios. Although the NFC West appears to be San Francisco's for the taking, I think it's still going to be tough to improve the overall record from a year ago. Home: L - Saints - Tough to predict a victory over the reigning champs. W - Buccaneers - They will still suck. W - Raiders - Should be a sh!tkicking W - Broncos - I think this team is in worse shape than last years record would indicate L - Eagles - With McNabb gone, I feel a lot better about beating Philly but this is a prideful, veteran team and I dont see them dropping off as much as they probably could. W - Rams - I'm not convinced Bradford is going to be anything in the NFL W - Cardinals - Losing Warner, Boldin, and Dansby is too much. W - Seahawks - If Hasslebeck is ok you could convince me they'll threaten. Away: (This is where things get rough) W - Chiefs - Still rebuilding W - Rams - The same W/L - Seahawks - Could go either way being a divisional game W/L - Cards - Same as the Hawks L - Falcons - Put a whipping on SF at home last year, had a tough late season stretch in 09, but still dangerous. L - Carolina - Finished scary strong in 09, tough road environment L - Chargers - Still very talented (regular season only) L - Packers - I guess if it's early in the year (ie. not cold) it's possible but I've been waiting for a win at Lambeau for most of my adult life. Not holding my breath for it now. So, I think a best case scenario is 10-6 and more likely 9-7 or 8-8. Assuming the Rams and Seahawks will still largely suck, I'm not worried about them. The Cardinals could suck bad too and should have a tougher schedule having to play the other division champs from last year. Still, just looking at this, will another 8-8 year be good enough? I have a hard time imagining that record getting them into the playoffs, but I suppose stranger things have happened.

This has been the consensus for 3 years straight......

This year's record is in the tiny hands of Alex Smith: If we get the A. Smith of the Seattle and Jacksonville games, niners go 10-6. If we get the A. Smith of the Titans and Philadelphia games (please lord no) we go 7-9 don't win the division.

Anything less than 10-6 (or 9-7 at absolute WORST), barring any severe injuries to key players, would be a HUGE dissapointment IMO.

Gore is in his prime.
Crabtree should do really well.
Morgan is solid.
O line SHOULD be more talented.
Davis IS a pro bowler.
Smiths improved every year and he finally got some continuity. So no excuses.

I mean honestly, we have the potential to sweep the division. There is no excuse for the team this year to not at the very least, go 9-7.

If they really play to their level and play smart coupled with good playcalling/coaching...11-5 is a possibility.

For now, I'll say 9-7 to be a conservative douche.

Quit hating on your own team.

The ownership and senior management fully expect 14-2 if not 15-1. Anything less would be disappointing.

If we go worse than 10-6, barring major injuries.. Alex smith, and Jimmy raye should be publicly embarrassed.

I remember those days.. every season was 14-2 or 13-3, just to get our teeth kicked in by the cowboys or packers.
