If you want to compete in this league, you'd better learn how to beat the very good teams REGARDLESS who they have on the field. That way, there are NO EXCUSES!
I would be less inclined to brag about beating for example the Patriots without Brady or the Colts without Manning, or the Saints without Drew Brees. BFD! would be the collective response! What good is that? and what have you proven?
i definitely agree but this isn't the Pats or Colts or Saints. These are the Bucs. I think they're a good team on the rise, but I'm not going to be beating my chest about winning this game either way. I just want a win and I don't care how we get it.
Hmmm, when was the last time the 49er's beat a team with a WINNING record? Don't say the Raiders, because when the 49er's faced them, they had a losing record.
Beating the Bucs will indeed be a MAJOR accomplishment based on what the 49er's have done in the past couple of years.
it'll be good, but it won't be in the same category as a win against NO would have. Or to have beaten the Colts of Vikes last year. Etc. TB is a great test for us, to be sure, but they are still an enigma; they haven't beaten anybody either. And we're at home. So i don't think it'll be a major accomplishment.
The last time we beat a team with a winning record was ARI last year.
