After beating the Seahawks 40-21, they are now only 1 game behind the division leading Rams for a playoff berth.

All aboard!

I think you mistook your train wreck for a bandwagon.

It's called peaking at the right time buddy :mellow: Not really hoping or expecting the Niners to make the playoffs but if they do then good for them. We played the Saints, Eagles, and Falcons close in the beginning of the season so if we have to play one of them in the WC round I wouldn't be surprised if we actually won a game at Candlestick.

I like the way you think. Take a seat up front. :unsure:
 
If San Fran goes 3-0, then they only need Seattle to lose one game. St. Louis will be eliminated by default.

The Niners can even win the division by going 2-1 if both Seattle and Arizona go 1-2.

I think Arizona has officially been eliminated.

 
Do you accept refugee fans of 2-win teams that think SF might actually have a chance to do something still?

 
oh the homerism...shouldn't you save this stuff for the 49erswebzone where you can all debate how much alex smith is better than peyton manning

whoever wins this division is an embarrassment and for the 49ers why win...low talent team does not need a draft pick in the high twenties.

:confused: Good luck finding many homers on ANY of the message boards that are Alex Smith fans. He has some but they're few and far between. The general belief is that he seems to be a nice kid and we wish him well but we wish he goes elsewhere. But what should I do for the rest of this year? Root for us to tank? We're not getting Luck. So I'll cheer for our slim playoff hopes. Heck, I hope Alex Smith suddenly 'gets it' and becomes an all pro. But I'll take a team just squeaking into the playoffs. At times this year this team has looked very good. I hope they make the playoffs and it's that Niners team which shows up. Maybe they'll manage to pull off a fluke upset.This team actually has a fair amount of talent. Yes they have some holes (qb being the biggest) but their offensive weapons are good enough, their o-line is coming together, and they have enough players on defense to compete if they get one or two more pieces.Really we're one good draft away from being a very serious contender. I'm not sure if it will happen but this team isn't an aging wasteland of talent like the Redskins.
 
everybody in the nfc west loses this week.

49ers to SD

SEA to ATL

STL to KC

ARI could win but they almos tout

so if we beat STL and ARI we get in. i see a great chance of this scenario playing out

 
I dont get why everyone is so bitter about the 9ers. If they make the playoffs, its not the 9ers fault that everyone else in their division stinks as well. I didn't hear everyone else crying about it when the Cardinals made the superbowl a couple of years ago.

:lmao: Don't hate the playa, hate the game!

 
Here is how I see it from a fantasy football perspective (is there any other way?)

1- The 49er coaching staff thinks they have a very real chance of salvaging the season (and their jobs)with a Divisional Title. With Gore's injury, the skill players they have now would suggest going with an offense more geared towards passing than the old base offense they ran with Gore.

2- They admitted that Troy Smith doesnt know the offense well enough to run all the plays in the playbook to run a somewhat advanced complicated passing scheme. (300 different pass plays? Does that seem like a lot?)

3- Alex Smith, as big a disappointment he has been, does seem to do very well in the spread, shotgun & hurry-up offenses.

4- The new co-ordinator was said to have some experience in the spread formation, and was also reported to favor that offense for this team.

5- I think the switch to Smith may have some pleasant results for the fantasy playoffs for Smith, Davis, Westbrook, Crabtree and Morgan. Short passes with lots of YAC. In fact it already has - except for Crabtree.

Put me down for being onboard....I think they win the division and I think the offense does well.

I think STL will be, and should be, favored in STL against SF. I also think STL may very well beat KC this weekend if Cassell is out. I'd give the Niners a 15% chance or so to win the division, but I'm definitely on the bandwagon.People are bitter about SF because everyone had them as their breakout team in their preseason predictions and were burned. It's understandable.

Anyone think Crabtree is worth a start tonight?? :desperate:

If you're desperate sure. It's a spread formation which means they'll pass a lot more. But the Chargers have a good defense and it's Alex Smith throwing. Plus Crabtree seems to be a bit of a space cadet out there...so much talent but his route running needs work.

Also desperate here and I can't decide. Other options are Earl Bennett, Brandon Gibson, Ben Obomanu, Rob Gronkowski, Maurice Morris. Really struggling with this one. Everything I read says bench him but I'm not thrilled with my other options.

Remaining scenarios to win the division:1. St. Louis goes 1-2 or 0-3 (losing to Seattle in Week 17) while Seattle goes 1-2 (losing in Weeks 15 & 16)2. St. Louis goes 1-2 (beating Seattle in Week 17) while Seattle goes 1-2 or 0-3Either Seattle or St. Louis MUST lose this week.(Of course, this all assumes that San Francisco will go 2-0, beating St. Louis and Arizona).
 
So far, so good. San Francisco just needs the following to happen:

1. go 2-0 (beating St. Louis and Arizona)

2. Seattle loses at least once (to either Tampa Bay OR St. Louis)

We're inching closer and closer to having the first 7-9 playoff team in NFL history. :excited: :goodposting:

and to that fantastic spot of having a crappy team with very little talent and having a terrible season and still picking in the latter end of the draft...fantastic!
 
My fantasy team has been eliminated but SF is very much in the thick of things. The Rams and Seahawks both lost.

HERE COME THE NINERS!!

This is good stuff. And they'll get a home game to boot. Love to see them knock one of the big boys off in the playoffs. Give something new for BSPN to piss and moan about over the summer. :lol:

Early in the season. As those teams have gotten better the 49ers have gotten way worse. The D can't stop anyone, the O can't even decide on a qb mostly because neither of them can throw a football. Early season games are much different than late...

SEA plays @ TB, they're horrible on the road. STL is the toughest part of this road to the playoffs. I like our chances :thumbup:

This ram homer guarantees that the Rams will win
 
This Niners team has zero chance of making a deep playoff run... so I'd rather they didn't make the playoffs because all playoff teams pick after all non-playoff teams...

 
Another week gone by, another step closer to the Post Season! Smith is going to take us to the promised land! SING COACH SING!

All aboard!!!! CHOOOOO-CHOOOOOOO!!!

 
ya unfortunately i'm torn on making the playoffs or making sure A.Smith and Singletary dont return. playoff atmosphere would be so sweet to taste though.

Singletary engaging in psychological warfare with Rams

The man who once firmly stated that his 49ers would win by imposing their will on the opposition has turned to mind games on the eve of the team's most critical game of the season. Mike Singletary said he's decided who will start at quarterback for Sunday's game in St. Louis and that he's informed his quarterbacks of the decision. He's just not telling the media or the Rams.

In fact, when asked if both Alex Smith and Troy Smith could see time in the Edward Jones Dome, Singletary said, "It's possible." Both players, he said, would get practice repetitions this week. The 49ers are practicing today - usually a day off - giving them an extra session in the run up to the Rams.

I asked Singletary if staying mum on the subject was a bit of gamesmanship to make the Rams defense prepare for two very different quarterbacks. He dismissed that. "The only real advantage that we could have is to go there and play well," he said. "All that other stuff is cat and mouse stuff." So why not announce the starter? "Because it's something that I don't really want to announce right now."

During last week's loss to the Chargers, Singletary contemplated pulling Alex Smith and inserting Troy Smith. But he couldn't, he said, because Troy Smith didn't get any practice snaps during the abbreviated work week and because he didn't have the benefit of learning the full offense during training camp.

That won't be the case this week, Singletary said. "I'm not really going to split the reps. I'm going to make sure each guy gets the appropriate reps." That statement could be an indication that Alex Smith is starting the game. Why? Because Troy Smith would need practice repetitions if he were called upon to fill in for a struggling Alex Smith but Alex Smith wouldn't necessarily need those reps if he was called upon to replace Troy Smith. Furthermore, if Troy Smith were starting, he likely would require all of the practice repetitions because, once again, he has a limited command of the offense.

Troy Smith has looked better in 5 games than Alex Smith has in 5 years. This isn't that hard, Mike.

But I'm all for any means that brings us a win.

Here comes the postseason!
