lol, your funny

Can you just imagine this team popping open some bottles, jumping, cheering, and celebrating like it was such a glorified path to the playoffs?

I don't think there will be champagne, but they will feel good...

They shouldn't. That is why I have liked Sing's demeanor the past 3 weeks. Win or lose, he's finally been a level personality appearing to be very focused.

Either that or he knows he's a dead man walking.

So you would rather go 10-6 and not make the playoffs, "momentum for next year" saying is a Joke cause anything can happen.

The goal for evey year is make the playoffs, even if it's ugly

Huh? I WANT them to make the playoffs.

I just hope they don't jump up for joy about it and stay focused as a me against the world mentality. My post was mainly about making a point that wouldn't it be awkward seeing them celebrate if they make it.

Takeo, Willis and V Davis can celebrate because they will deserve it. The crap they have to put up with week in and week out and they still make the playoffs?

For this team, with Jed's prediction: I can.

We do the unthinkable.

~ Dingletary back for 2011...
~ Alex Smith plus Troy Smith back for 2011.
~ No GM for 2011. Who needs one? Current system is working fine...

You forgot one, National media circus over "the worst team in history to make the play-offs". Imagine EVERY national sport talk show, examining the issue, "Should the NFL change the play off seeding, to prevent teams like the 49ers from going to the post season?"
Then in the ultimate insult the NFL passes.... "the Niner Rule"...gulp forever enshrined as a bellwether for failure!

What a potential media circus with us as the ass clowns!

I for one will always root for my team, I bleed red and gold!

No doubt there will be a media circus, but the rules won't change for something that happened once in 40 plus years

Pissing off all those teams fans who have a better record but didn't make it would be nice. We would be the most hated team by other fans. That's good for business.

Sadly I can see this happening.

all these reasons--I don't want to make the playoffs---especially losing that draft position--in EVERY round.

If we make the playoffs...it's a clean slate. Everyone is 0-0 in the play offs. Stats don't matter. Regular season doesn't matter. Records don't matter. It's all going to come down to execution and game planning. Obviously, on any given Sunday, we are either awesome or absolutely atrocious at both.

I have a feeling we will put up a decent fight in the play offs. I don't think we get past round one but I expect a 27-23 or 20-16 type loss.

can warner come out of retirement?

I live in Portland, and we pretty much only have national sports shows on the radio, and I have been hearing for the last couple of weeks rumblings that IF the 49ers make the play offs, the commissioner should step in and not allow us to play! Imagine a 9-10 win NY Giants or Green Bay not in the play offs and 7-9 49ers in!

Commissioner isn't going to s**t if the Niners make it. That must be settled in the CBA. That is completely false. He may as well extend the season 2 more games this year if he can do that.

5 Long-term consequences of winning the division this season:

1. #21+ draft slotting.

2. Mike Singletary & Co. possibly/likely sticking around.

3. Winner of the NFC West will automatically face the NFC North, South, & East division winners on their 2011 season schedule (Bears, Falcons, & Eagles).

4. First playoff team in history with a 7-9 record. -This could prompt the entire league to change the playoff system during the next CBA meetings/resolutions (and ruin the game even more). Not to mention it'll assign us an embarrassing title, the '7 & 9ers'. -It will become a forever slang/stain for this era of 49er football; something adjacent to the 'Bungles'.

5. We'll be missing out on 5-star coaching FAs/prospects (once again).

Everybody wants to win in the 'now', but winning in the now could set this team back 3 more years within the actual 'future' spectrum of time.
