The niners will be much improved next year. Make no mistake, they will get a couple of impact free agents on defense plus fill depth through free agency and the draft. Expect to see another receiver and OL help too...Kwame Harris, finally, will be gone (I hope)People forget that Alex Smith is still younger than any of the QB's taken in the 2006 draft and it was his third (junior) year in college before he "got it" and became a very good QB. Expect huge improvement from him next year.Donahue absolutely ruined this team with bad drafts, bad free agents and bad deals. That doesn't get repaired over night but Nolan and the personnel dept are dong a good job and have the team headed in the right direction.Pre free agency/draft period prediction for 2007 - 10 and 6, wild card team.

Damn was I prophetic back then or what????"impact free agents and fill depth through free agency and the draft" - Done many times over"Expect to see another receiver" - Done, three times! Ashley Lelie, Daryl Jackson, Jason Hill"and OL help too" - OT Joe Staley in the draft"Kwame Harris, finally, will be gone" - Still hoping but expect it to happen after June 1.Rated by most as the franchise with the best offseason in the league.Post free agency/draft period prediction for 2007 - 12 and 4, NFC West champs!!

HUH?...Hello 9-7

Unfortunately 9-7 will probably be good enough to win the NFC West this year. The 49ers only true competition is our beloved Seahawks and the non-conference schedule is rough this year.Seattle:Sun 9/9 Tampa Bay WSun 9/16 at Arizona ?Sun 9/23 Cincinnati ?Sun 9/30 at San Francisco LSun 10/7 at Pittsburgh ?Sun 10/14 New Orleans LSun 10/21 St. Louis W bye Sun 11/4 at Cleveland WMon 11/12 San Francisco WSun 11/18 Chicago ?Sun 11/25 at St. Louis ?Sun 12/2 at Philadelphia LSun 12/9 Arizona WSun 12/16 at Carolina LSun 12/23 Baltimore LSun 12/30 at Atlanta ?Seahawks record 5-5 (+ ? = 6). If they go half and half on the ? games, the Seahawks would be 8-8 again.Chances are the Seahawks will be back to 2005 form if everyone stays healthy this year. But, Alexander's foot looks like it is still broken and may become an issue. Hasselbeck and the receivers will be top notch, so the offense will probably be good this year provided the running game doesn't get stuffed like 2006. But our main issue was inconsistency on defense. We couldn't stop the run, especially Gore. Plus home field was tarnished last year and games against New Orleans, Baltimore, Cincinatti and Chicago are going to test that again. It's going to be a fun year. It won't be a cakewalk like it has for the last three years. It will be more exciting than the Super Bowl run in my opinion provided the refs don't get in the way. The NFC West will have a lot of parity this year and be similar to the NFC East in toughness of schedule. I'll never say Arizona is going to be strong until they actually prove it, but there is a lot of potential there. And you can't write off St. Louis either.Final standingsSeattle 9-7 (4-2 div)San Fran. 9-7 (4-2 div)St. Louis 8-8 (2-4 div)Arizona 7-9 (2-4 div)

49ERS BABY WEEEEEEEEEE bump

[jcashx36x]

Ashley Lelie, will have his best season in his 1st yr with the 49ers!

[Tiltinagain]

So now that we're half way through the preseason what is everyone thinking now?My takes....Alex Smith looks like a completely different QB. Even the East Coast biased media types are expecting him to have a big year this year.Patrick Willis is a beast....looks like a veteran out there and will have 125+ tackles this year now that he's starting.Darryl Jackson can def. still play. Even Ashley Lelie looked good. It's hard to believe that the niners will actually have some depth at WR this year.I'm really excited to see what our DB's do but I think they could turn around from 26th in pass def. last year to top 10 or 15 this year.I am sticking by my 10-6 prediction for now. I don't think the Seahawks are going to be as good as some think. The Cardinals are never as good as some think and the Rams well....they're the Rams.NFC West champs is a distinct possibility.Crazy part....They're going to be straight scary good next year.GO NINERS!!

I do not like him at all....I'm hoping Jason Hill takes over as the #2 WR by the end of the year...he's the best WR on the team now, but probably won't play a whole lot.

2 Game lead in the Wild CardOnly 1 Game behind the Angel's with a HUGE 3 game set coming up next week.WHAT?!?!?! Yes, I'm responding to a post made well over two months ago.

Am I the only person who have the Rams as a potential sleeper team. I really like what they did in the offseason and definitely think they can challenge for the division. The NFC West is WIDE open. I will enjoy watching that division.I like the Rams to win the division in a shocker. Seahawks potentially for the wild card.

I don't see the Rams winning the division as a shocker at all. I could also see the Seahawks missing out on the playoffs. I think the Rams may barely miss the playoffs or barely make it in (by not winning the division)...I don't think a wild card will come from this division, but you never know. I think it will be close between the 9ers, Rams and Seashawks for the division with the Rams or 9ers taking it.

BUMP for a new season of niners football! We're down 10-7 right now to the Cards after that stupid penalty of running into the kicker...

Bahhaaahhaahhaahhaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! How ya feeling now?? I don't know about anyone else but, even though our offense was putrid for all but 3 minutes of the game, I was stoked the whole game by how our defense was shutting down the AZ receivers. I must admit to still having that "Is this the play where they throw a 60 yard bomb and the DB's totally blow the coverage resulting in a TD" feeling for most of the game but if our defense continues to play like they did I like our chances. Why is Lelie not getting on the field when he had a decent preseason?? Better than Taylor Jacobs but he still can't get on the field. Though Nolan keeps sounding like that may change saying Jacobs is the #3 "for now".I'm really liking our chances agains St Louis tomorrow, especially with all of their offensive line injuries. And one of their starting CB's, Hill I think, is out with an injury.

Yeah, hope that's not all cause of Turner being gone and Smith can get better quick.2-0 in the division so far is awesome though...can make it 3-0 in week 4 vs. Sea and the division is looking very good.
