How Do We Feel Going Into This Season?

I have little faith in the offensive line and believe that will hold us back. (Assuming a healthy year all around)

I'm right there with you.

And then once again we will say CMC has lost a step. But, if Robert Jones can look like he did with the Dolphins then I think the 9ers will be in better shape. I also have a feeling we'll be seeing someone else takeover at Center during the season.

Agreed. If healthy, this 49ers team can beat anyone. IF HEALTHY.

Just need to beat KC/Mahomes and get that monkey off their backs.

They get to have chance at it in the regular season.

We could be the best team in the NFL next season and we'll probably lose that game by 4 TDs. Every time we play there seemingly it's a nightmare.

Two years in a row of IR injuries, something has got to give

Exactly the same as last year. Playoffs but a first or second round exit.

I see them getting to the playoffs to the divisional round and then exiting. I suspect the defense, ie safty and cb positions and I am not sold on the DL. We'll see on that. I think they are still another DE away there. Offense, the receiver core is better than it has been for some time so if Purdy can get rid of the ball quickly that should open stuff up. I don't trust the OL to protect Purdy so quick stuff. Niners need the protection to stretch the field and open up opposing defenses. Hope I'm wrong and they dominate. I think they are 3-4 players away on D and 2 players away on offense especially on the OL. Hope I'm wrong.

1. 11 or 12 wins. They talent level is upgraded. But I am concerned about our top guys, save for Brock Purdy. Can Evans, Kittle, and Warner bounce back?

2. Chicken and egg argument- pass protection and run blocking verses receivers that can separate. The team went hard on the latter. On paper it's the best receiver room we have had under Kyle. We will also see if the receivers can give CMC more room to run with their route running and run blocking. I think Kyle chose right but fear we will be bitten in the end by a superior pass rush.

3. The secondary should be better simply because they get to play with actual pass rushers.

I think we make the divisional round with a slight chance of making the NFCCG. If some new playmakers emerge on both sides of the ball abd special teams improves, we have an outside shot.

I have to see what happens in TC and preseason games. If the DL can create some pressure the DB's should have more TO's. They sure can't be worse than last year The offense should be better with the upgraded receivers and the OL getting a few more bodies. Every year is different and we all know that we're due for a healthier season lol. Can't wait for the team to get together and see what happens. Let's go Niners !!! Buy the way has anybody heard anything about…….. um.. oh yeah that receiver BA

I'm seeing a very mid tier team this up coming season. 10 to 11 wins. Good but not great which puts us in no man's land basically.

i see elite all over;

elite HC and QB with stud weapons, top LT, 2 DPOY types in the front seven, with year 2 mykel, collins, west, greenlaw back, elite secondary it's the best secondary we've had in a long time; probably the best team shanny has had yet; my one fixation is we aren't the same team without cmc on the field and we have no proven RB depth, aside from that achilles heel, and since when has an achilles heel brought anyone down
