    Well, the Niners ahve got some playoff hopes maybe...Their schedule to end the season is a very tough one and it is rare that such a young team can sustain success for a long period of time...We have gone on a three-game win streak with wins over the Vikings and 'Hawks at home...Along with a victory over the Lions in Detroit...Now, they must travel to the Rams house.The Rams have been slipping but they are definately a good team and very hungry.The Niners have won the previous three meetings and this one is definately going to be tough...The Niners are a game back of Seattle with one head-to-head meeting left on the schedule.They need to be nearly perfect for the rest of the season to make the playoffs but it is just nice to actually have hopes.

    Hopefully, Frank Gore can continue his tear..The line is finally nearly full strength and they have been getting a great push..

    It is pretty incredible to see the 49ers at .500 this late into the season.

    i can see it happening

    The Eagles will go downhill losing McNabb, Falcons have sucked as of late, and the 49ers are in a crappy division.

    NINER'S REMAINING SCHEDULE:
    Nov 26 @St. Louis (Continued domination of Ram's continues....?)
    Dec 3 @New Orleans (Tough game..Definite underdogs)
    Dec 10 Green Bay (Should be a great game...Bragging rights on NFL-FORUMS at stake..But, We should be able to easily win at Home against the Pack..)
    Dec 14 @Seattle (Another tough game and likely would be a must-win situation again)
    Dec 24 Arizona (Lost earlier this year in first game after many missed oppurtunites..We should be able to win this game..)
    Dec 31 @Denver (Should be a loss but you never know...We may have a shot oif we force turnovers and junk..)

    bold=A Likely Win
    italic=Up In The Air

    I think we should finish at the least 8-8...Still a successful season and a big improvement from our last two years..I hold high hopes for the future and a hope that we can make the playoffs but it is definately going to be a challenge.

    If Favre plays and finishes the game, it should be no trouble for the Pack to win...

    After having watched the 9ers play. I must say, they have no shot. They looked like absolute crap. They are BAD on the road, and that will be thier downfall

    Linebacker-less? You watched the Pack? A.J. Hawk is a nominee for defensive rookie of the year. He's been great. Nick Barnett is having a very good year too. If anything, LB is one of the strengths of their defense along with DE. DT and the secondary is where GB could use some help.

    Also, with a healthy Hasselbeck and Alexander, Seattle will still win that division by at least 2 games.

    I think Barnett is crappy and Hawk is overrated on defense...I'll put a bet on Frank Gore knifing through that defense for at least 125 yards?

    but that 125 doesn't mean u will win.. Alex Smith is very very much improved but still makes mistakes.. that 49er defense will have to step it up and force teams into mistakes.. I think the 49ers have a shot at the playoff cause the division they are in BLOWS.. the seahawks are the only real challenge in that division.. and the next meeting you get seattles best not some second teir QB..

    And to prove that frank going for 125 doesn't mean shit.. how many yards did frank gain on the Bears??? what 115??? or more it was over 100 and you guys got pounded how bad????? the 49ers have a shot.. which is better then i put them at seasons start

    Hawk has been nothing but a BEAST for the Packers. The fact that you say he's been overrated is a testament you've watch nothing but highlights of the Pack. The guy is all over the field. He's been well worth the 5th overall pick and is probably the leading canidate for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

    Nick Barnett is far from crappy. I will say he's an overachiever and inconsistent at times but when he's playing at his highest level he's a Pro Bowl caliber MLB. Far from crappy.

    Frank Gore is great but the one strong point for GB on D has been their run defense. If the 49ers are smart which I think they are, Alex Smith will have his moment to shine and they will run the ball in the 4th if Smith does suceed.

    How are your WRs lately? I heard Antonio Bryant was arrested for DUI and Arnaz Battle went down with an injury. Gilmore to start??? And Frank Gore is a pretty damn good running back despite the fumbles, but that's something you can fix over time though. And ever since the beating they took from the Bears, they allowed less points on defense now.

    Our wideouts have been solid all year.Bryant got arrested for DUI,resisting srrest, and speeding...I have no clue if he will be back...Arnaz Battle has been great for us and I'm not sure what injury you're reffering to...Gilmore has actually been very solid for us utilizing his speed with the end-arounds and kick return..We may need him to expand his role to being a legitimate second reciever if we don't get Bryant back in time.We have also gotten Vernon Davis back form injury and he could be used in the slot a lot like Antonio Gates or Dallas Clark....We should be okay.

    Damn, that sucks...Do you know how long he will be out and if he is gonna be able to play this week?That would be a huge loss for us..He is very underrated and without Bryant and him, we'd be screwed over..

    I have no idea. He was playing with the broken hand throughout the game and it didn't seem like it was affecting his gameplay.

    Your wideouts have been average. I don't know why you keep arguing how great they have been. Battle has only 3 games with 40 or more yards and he's been great? I guess you have a lower standard of greatness in San Fran. Bryant topped 100 yards receiving the 1st two games of the season and hasn't been close to the century mark since. Everyone complains about TO, but Bryant has been a headcase off and on the field throughout his career and he could only dream of the production that TO can amount. Your WRs aren't anywhere near as good as you think they are.

    Do you even watch our games?It isn't always about the stats..Maybe someone will teach you that soem day so you learn to respect the game of football and actually watch it..I'm guessing you haven't watched a single Niners game..Am I right?Please be honest and if you haven't then can you not comment on things you read out of newspaper cut-outs?K, thx sport.

    Plainly, I will comment on whatever the hell I desire to comment about. I have watched Niners games. Not all of them...maybe a couple have been on TV here. But in this scenario, the stats tell plenty. How bout this? Battle averages 38.8 yards a game and has a whole 3 TDs on the year and he's great? I'm sorry. This time...the stats do tell a hell of a whole lot. Bryant has 54 yards a game and 2 TDs and he's great? Give me a break. He's not producing. Frank Gore is the only true weapon you have on offense and he hardly scores too. Your offense averages 18 points a game and that's an improvement. Your receivers are average at best. Battle would be a 3rd or even 4th WR on most teams in the NFL. Bryant is a 2nd WR on most teams. They're complimentary players, not marquee players. Neither of them is great and now you'll be without both of them. Oooohhh scary receivers now. I mean Bryan Gilmore he has all of what? 7 catches? Your receivers are not great as you called them. They're average and that's when they're playing their best. Tell me how the stats are lying about their production. "Oh well Bryant averages 17 yards a catch!" Yeah and he catches two or three passes a game and he's not worth the headaches he gives you off the field and in the lockerroom. His prior two employers were happy to see him leave. "Battle catches big 3rd down passes and gets us 1st downs!" Again, he catches 2 or 3 balls a game. I'll reiterate...they are not great. Claim that stats aren't everything all you want, but these stats don't lie. There are 3rd WRs on other teams outperforming Battle and 2nd WRs on several teams outperforming Bryant. I'll reiterate...they are not great. Hmmmm one more time so you get the point...they are not great!!
