Will we make the playoffs next year?

Road games against Packers, Saints, Patriots, will be very tough. I think we still make the playoffs but duplicating this year's record will be real tough. And I believe the competition in our division gets tougher. Next year every team we face will know they need to bring their A-game to have a chance to beat us. We will be marked.

Think the same. The schedule is just too tough and the division will be stronger next season.

We keep this defense together, it doesn't matter where we play. We can win any where with this championship caliber defense. Get more WRs for the offense. Unstoppable.

it will be a tougher road though. Az and Sea improved over the season. Rams will be interesting.

Yes, but I'm not sure how much to put into that. I can remember a few years where we picked up a few games at the end of the year after the division race was already wraped up, only to have an average record at best the following year.

If we stay healthy we will go far , were only getting better !

With an improved O, not of those games will scare me in the least, we'll compete in every last one of them with our D

You better believe it pal

For those that say "the schedule is tough". No one knows how tough that schedule is until at LEAST midway through the season itself.

The Pats had a ridiculously easy schedule this past year thanks to teams not living up to preseason expectations.

I can't believe some of you are doubting our ability to make it back to the playoffs.

Great point about predicting strengths of schedules. You never know how good a team will be. Just look at our own Niners. Who thought we would make it the NFC championship? Not me.

YES. The Niners will be back in the playoffs. The defense is phenomenal. The offensive line is good and getting better with experience. We have a good group of running backs. Those are the building blocks for a winning football team.

The team needs depth at WR. To heck with depth. They need a WR. Morgan, Ginn, and Crabtree ain't a bad bunch, but they are a mediocre bunch. Someone needs to step up.

Alex Smith needs to improve his deep ball.

Looking at this I'm gonna say we go undefeated at home next year.
