A little nervous... | Page 2 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Crazy49er1313 · 2011-11-01T11:20:48-07:00

Now, I've been one of the biggest braggers about this team (if proof wanted, come up to Seattle, where I'm the only person who's wearing 49er gear 5 out of 7 days a week, even before the season ), but I have a bad feeling about this month of November. Here's our schedule: Nov. 6 @Wash: Not as worried, but the signing of Tashard Choice does worry me. Wash's defense is good, but if they find a way to establish a run game it could be a little close for comfort for my liking. As long as we keep our composure I think we will be fine. Nov. 13 vs Giants: This is a tricky game in my mind. Sure, we're @ home and the Giants run offense is lacking, but their ability to spread the ball around makes me very nervous. With the emergence of Cruz and the improving health of Nicks/Manningham, our secondary will have it's hands full since their OL is pretty good. Also, their 8-man rotation @ DL is stronger than Detroits was, though our run game should be able to get through (if Reggie can get 100yds, what about our RBs?). It'll be hard-fought and can see either team winning. Nov. 20 vs Ari: can you say TRAP GAME?!?!?!?!?!...we have a huge game in Baltimore four days later and it'll be safe to assume the Cards will have been winless up to this point. With nothing to lose, our team better not be looking down the road as they would like nothing better than to beat us @ home. They have the ability to, but our talent stacks up well against their weaknesses. Will be a hard-fought 1st half, but our 2nd half will be dictated by how much we keep them in the game. Nov. 24 @ Balt: Emotions will be flying with the "Harbaugh Bowl", which if both teams records stay intact, will be more publicized than the Lions/Packers game. Not only bragging rights, but ability for each team to say they are contenders will be on the line as they face off. Will be a brutally fought game and will end on a costly turnover within the opponents redzone for a 4-point victory After that, just the game @ Seattle worries me (Steelers @ home Monday night for a short week to the loudest stadium in the league...yeah, don't see anything easy about that), but I know our team has the skill, will, and coaching to strive beyond all of this and succeed. So, I ask all of you, who's got it better than us? NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Ravens game kinda get me nervous when I think about it.

More importantly....I'm from just outside Pittsburgh so the Steeler game will have me generally on edge. Their fanbase hates & degrades everybody elses teams without any real point behind it. Which leaves them always talking crap on our Niners cause I'm sporting the gear often. So those both more than any will put me on edge, but both are winnalbe with this team.

Not scared, but nervous about the fact that Shanny with a decent RB could be a little thorn in our side. Our defense will hold them, but if they can run it, it'll be closer than what I'd like it to be.

Our LB's are faster than 90+% of the running backs in the league. This is why we shut down PHI running back.

Bowman says little running back go no where.

Choice sucks, and anyway they just signed him, so I doubt he gets a bunch of playing time right off the bat, plus their offense is garbage right now and if we can shut down one of the better running games in the league in Philly we won't have trouble shutting down the 'skins, especially if Choice plays.

it's just a different feeling this year. I feel confident that we will win the division and make the playoffs. JH won't let this team relax and even if there is a hiccup and we lose a couple of games, we WILL be prepared for the playoffs.

I don't know exactly where I read it, but apparently Harbaugh's system teaches the team (players and coaches) to treat each game like a Superbowl, meaning they're critical in all phases of preparation, every single week, dissect the opponent and exposes every weakness. It's amazing to me.

Never thought I'de hear the day where pundits are all saying the 49ers are "the best coached team in the NFL."

this..the whole reason the 'girls waived him is 'cos he was hurt...he probably won't even get much playing time coming off just signing w/ the skins and learning a new scheme and playbook PLUS the Niners have a rep already of putting a hurt on RBs and choice is gimpy to begin with

Correct me if i'm wrong... havent we already shut Choice down once this year?? I didn't see anything about choice in the Dallas game to make me nervous. I was more nervous about Benson, McCoy, Blount, and Best and we have seen how well they did...

Also, I don't think Harbaugh or the players themselves will allow a weaker team to be overlooked.
