Seattle won the division. This, after so many here totally ripped them for "stealing" our dump off players/coaches/front office personnel.
Not that those people had a huge impact on why they won. (Which was inherently by default, SOMEONE had to win the division, and we blew it last week.)
But, for the record, they took our cast offs, and won the division.
At some point we need to recognize that having the right coaching/front office people makes a big difference. Our "castoffs" in the RIGHT roles, helped them succeed.
And with a bunch of the same or equally bad, players, the Seachickens won the division at 7-9.
And we couldn't even go .500 to beat that.
Just sayin'
Ya, Ya, Ya, the Hawks won the worst division in the league. They might be the worst playoff team EVER.
Congrats to the Hawks, they are now the answer to a trivia question. This season was garbage from the start. This failure is 100% Mike Singletary's fault. Not Jimmy Raye, Not Manusky, Not Alex Smith, Not Nate Clements, NOBODY else. This failure of a season rests solely on Sings shoulders. His "offensive vision" doomed this team from the very day Martz was fired.
AND GUESS WHAT? It will NOT get any better next season the way it's looking. The team has only 1 QB signed for next season, David (the sticks fav) Carr. The team will more than likely have a whole new system to learn on Offense and Defense AND a rookie QB!
This isn't going to be popular, but Alex should be resigned IF the Niners cannot find another vet QB. This includes the "other" Smith. The Niners are as good as done if they go into the season with a rookie and David mutha f**king Carr at QB.
And no, I didn't forget about Nate Davis, I just don't have ANY faith in him. Guess what? Judging by the way he sat on the practice squad all year, Nobody else in the league has any faith in him either.
