Agreed on SEA. I can't remember the last time we got to play them first at home. The series always starts away.

2019:

1st meeting @ 49ers (MNF) that frustrating OT lost by a replacement kicker

2nd meeting @ Seattle (flexed into SNF) Niners won for the first time since 2011 in CLink, clinched the NFCW and #1 seed

That's right! Didn't even have to go way back haha!

shouldve swept that year.

Easy ass schedule. 12 home games and games against the sorry ass falcons, cowboys, panthers, lions. The only road teams are worth a damn are the raiders and broncos.

Thursday night game in TEN isn't great since most TNF games have the two teams located close geographically.

Damn that suxxs because its sandwiched between home games. Thought they could stay in Ohio like they usally would do on back to backs in the east coast. They might do that on there first 2 games though

Damn, I can't wait!!

Last place schedule+playing in the worst division in the league(though should be improved) is a recipe for an easy schedule. Refering to the Eagles ofcourse.

It's not that much different than when Jim Harbaugh had to take the team to Baltimore on Thanksgiving night. One interesting thing I got from Maaioco is he tried to say there's some kind of NFC West gauntlet near the end of the season but then he predicted 12-5 which is what I predicted as well. We play Seattle the Cardinals and the Rams once I believe all within a 5-week period. But I don't really see it that way because what if two of those teams are scrapping just to get in the playoffs right then and we're not. Last year there was only one team with a bye so I guess anything can happen.

I might be at the home opener if all goes well, fans are back full capacity, gonna be great if so, can't wait.

I will be there too! Looking forward to seeing the webzone crew again.

Nice, as long as they do let fans in, and my friend who has season tickets is able to get them, and they don't have a lottery, and things go well here, I'll be down there from the 24th-27th, head home on the 28th.

Bleacher Report predicting 8-9

come on.

In 2019, the San Francisco 49ers were NFC champions. In 2020, they finished 6-10 and felt the need to trade up to the third overall pick in this year's draft for a new franchise quarterback to replace Jimmy Garoppolo.

2020 was a dramatic drop that didn't have much to do with an actual drop in talent, but was more a result of a rash of injuries. The Niners had to survive injuries to Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Nick Bosa, Solomon Thomas, Richard Sherman, Jaquiski Tartt and K'Waun Williams.

Given the role each of those players had on the roster, no team would have had a winning season losing that many players for extended periods of time.

Penciling in the team to return to their Super Bowl contending status would be a bit hasty, though. Garoppolo has been injury-prone his entire career, and Trey Lance might not be ready to take over after playing one game in 2020 at North Dakota State.

Free agency wasn't kind to them either. Richard Sherman has yet to sign for a team, Thomas, Ahkello Witherspoon and Kerry Hyder are gone as well. They signed Samson Ebukam to reinforce the pass rush, but the defense got worse through free agency.

The draft was mostly focused on the offense. Third-round pick Ambry Thomas wasn't on our big board and opted out of the 2020 season, so it might be a while before he makes an impact.

Playing in the NFC West will slow the rebound as well.

Prediction: 8-9

Lol, BR is such a joke, "Thomas not on their big board" so what, jesus these pundits think they know everything, and they're right, teams are wrong. Acting like Thomas & Spoon are huge losses is comical, same for Hyder. I don't even bother reading BR anymore.

Lol the defense got worst cause it lost Ahkello and Thomas. Lol I need this laugh

same - i am here for this.

I was reading this until that point, and was like… wait! is this satire?!

I know Buff, has to be satire right? Doubt it though, BR is garbage, never been a fan of them.

easy ass schedule

should get 13 wins minimum

Damn 11 games in a row. How are there not two bye weeks ? brutal imo.

Jacksonville looking like one and Bengals too. Don't mind a let down against a non-playoff team. Don't think we are going 17-0 but I could see us lose a couple easy games but win a couple tough matchups

Yeah, I'm thinking more of health factor. With 17 games just add a second bye week. That's another weekend of football for the money hungry and players get an extra week to rest their bodies.

They really should bring that 2nd seed playoff bye back

Yup that too. Imo the game was great as is and they keep messing with it.
I remember the second bye week I think early 90's? and players loved it. I'm surprised cause it's easy money (another weekend of football on tv etc).
