Not sure what you mean more bullish on Purdy than me? We have a solid line up but its our depth a long with our major injuries year in and year out that makes me feel un confident going into the season even if its an easy schedule

It's amazing to me how much social media wants to see Purdy crash and burn.
Our society simply hates the idea of a feel good story.
You want fans of other teams to be happy for him or us or something? Lol. Every non niner can get f**ked to me, and I expect non niners fans to feel the same about us
Lately, our team is Built to lose when behind late in games.
Conventional wisdom has you getting points and the lead out of the passing game, and then running the ball to keep the clock running and close the game out.
In that situation, defensively, we've been near the bottom of the league stopping the run.
Offensively, we must rely on a balanced run and pass game to check the pass rush. When we're forced to throw, and the opponent is forced to pressure, our weak line will cost Brock time.
I know there are a ton of variables that go into a healthy season, especially health, but I think it's very reasonable to say we will win 12-13 games. Lose 5 of those games? That isn't far fetched.
I believe in being optimistic until proven otherwise, unless I think the roster is complete crap. lol I love the new mentality of our ST and Saleh. Very excited about that.

Eh I made a mistake meant 9-8 what you think we go 13-4? I don't think we'll be a dumpster fire but I don't see us being the sane juggernaut
I think 9-8 is a reasonable prediction.
Vegas has the over/under at 10.5. I take the over.
