Nope
Harbaugh did lose one last year with Stanford. CLE isn't a terrible team...they just haven't figured it out yet, similar to us a couple of years ago. They could be 0.500 when we play them.
There is no way Colt Mccoy will beat a well rested, extra prepared, 49ers defense in Candlestick. I just don't see it happening.
They've lost to TEN, CIN, and OAK...3 solid teams. They nearly came back AT OAK. CLE is the type of team that knows they probably won't win, but they may have a chance if they keep it basic and not turn the ball over. These types of teams are hard to pull away from.

for every "Broncos 6-0" start, there are more great starts that have resulted in playoff births. you need to stop thinking negatively and think realistically

Just stay focus and win a game you are supposed to win the way you are supposed to win it. Also it occurs to me that Braylon may force himself on the field for this one. There really should be no need for that. If he ain't 100% healthy he should sit out. If he isn't 100% in tune with the game plan then we just focus on getting himi in mismatches but don't gameplan around him.
If we are a truly good team we should close this out by the 3rd 1/4 adn get Kaep some work.

Yeah, wasn't that the 1st time in history a team started 6-0 and ended up missing the playoffs?

There is also no team like the Chargers chasing them.

If the rest of the division gets swept we could win without even playing . . .

Don't the Browns always try weird plays in the game, as in half-back passes and fake punts and such?
I remember they beat the Patriots because they went very exotic and had NE scrambling to stop them but Cleveland was a step ahead with mis direction plays.
I don't think we get burned but I hope we check that film, because they can't beat us sticking to the basics

49ers are 2nd in the league, only behind Baltimore, in points allowed per game. With the 49ers playing at home against a young and talented, but still developing Browns team, it should be a big win for us.
49ers 34
Browns 16
I don't think Hillis will be able to run on us, and McCoy just doesn't have enough top-notch developed receiving weapons yet. This is what I want to see:
- Above all, a win.
- Alex throws for 200+ and at least 2 TDs, no picks.
- Edwards and Crabtree each get TDs and 75+ yards.
- If Alex throws three TDs, I want Vernon to get that 3rd one.
- Gore has a solid day.
- Defense creates turnovers.
We are 2nd in the league with one more game played than Baltimore, we could end up #1 depending on how much they give up next game.

They didn't have Fangio's defense nor our running game, and they were not in the NFC west.

we really should dominate this game, but we're going to have to learn to play with a target on our backs. I trust Harbaugh & Co. to have this team ready but you never know. Can't take anyone lightly.
