If you think they hate the niners now, wait until we have been regularly taking their goodies. Then, the hatred will turn to fear.
I remember opposing teams doing dumb stuff in the last minutes of a game because they knew Walsh and Montana were coming, and there was nothing they could do to stop them.
We will see those days again. Those days are now.

Goes back to the way the team played last year on offense. Like it or not the media would rather talk about good offensive production. All the fans want to see good offensive football too, including myself. So they ain't buying into us being on top again this year with that in mind. Maybe good for 13-3 record but not good enough to be talked about extensively on media shows.
Unless we can do better offensively this year.

most of the "hate" is because nobody really respects our QB and think he is average. Teams that have super star QBs usually get all the love.
No I like the uderdog role the media gives us. I also think JH prefers it that way.

Couple of reasons for media hate:
1. Niners dominated for so many years. Media members get jealous.
2. Harbaugh is universally dispised (well outside of SF atleast). When I mean dispised I mean DISPISED. People don't want to give him any credit and frankly hope he burns in hell.
3. East coast bias. This will never go away.
4. Teams with a defensive strength are deemed boring.
5. Alex Smith is a popular fall guy.

Lol, and after week 1 when the niners stomp the buttpackers it will all be about how GB has regressed and not that the niners are legit.

All you people enjoying "flying under the radar" Obviously forgot or never knew how it feels to be "above the radar" and teams "fearing" seeing your team on the schedule.

I'd rather be hated for being good, than laughed at for being sh*tty.

Unless inept (or unstable) coaching was suppressing the teams average performance. In one breath everyone says that Mike Singletary was a terrible coach and not ready (national media), but then shocked to see the 49ers have a good season with much better coaching top to bottom. The team may regress, but not that much given the coaching staff. The difference between the 49ers and let's say the Falcons was that no one thinks they have an inept coaching staff. Their fall back to earth is with THE SAME staff that was there during their rise. I see apples and oranges here.
