We have the same helmets, but the 49er tradition left with Eddie D & Bill Walsh!

Exactly!!! For some reason people think that this team was ordained by God to be good when we sucked for a long time before the 80's and we suck now. I guess maybe b/c I'm a younger fan but I don't buy into all this "this is a special, regal, winning" franchise bulls**t. All I've seen this team do is lose except for 3 maybe 4 years.

Maybe the fact that we were good for that stretch was the aberration instead of the fact that we suck? After all, we did have two hall of fame qbs, the greatest receiver of all time and a HC that revolutionized the game. Do you really expect that to happen again? Answer: HELL NO!!!

I believe everything we are walked out the door with Eddie D, and sure Walsh was able to hold it together for a few years after but once Walsh left we were like an expansion team.

We need to go back to our roots! We have enough film and WCO instruction tapes of BW installing his system to take us right back to our Glorydayz! We just need to tap into the past (coaches) and put it all together!

Yep all the team need to do is watch a bit of film. Sorted!

Wait a minute!
