VaTerp 0 Posted September 21, 2006 The 49ers dont need to concern themselves with trivial things like winning games and trying to make the playoffs. They just need to make sure that Frank Gore is as healthy and productive as possible for the rest of the season. Where are your priorities man? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

football_scooter 0 Posted September 22, 2006 One game at a time. If the Niners upset the Eagles, they upset the Eagles and nothing more. They have a long way to go. I'm still hoping for 6 wins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Next Generation 10 Posted September 22, 2006 Puh-lease...did any of you actually watch the Eagles-Giants game. The Eagles were dominating one of the better teams in the league...dominating...until Reid called off the dogs and the Eagles started to relax. THEN, the Giants came to life and made them pay. Point being, if Reid and the Eagles don't relax it's lights-out G-Men. I think the Eagles learned a valuable lesson last week and will show the 9ers no mercy. The Rams are bad. The Eagles are good.

Granted the Niners are much improved over last year but a play off team - let me put this as simply as I can NOT! Hey! The Niners won 4 games last year!!! Don't try and cheat us out of those 2 games. One thing to remember, the beginning of the Dinesty years (1981) followed a year with only 5-6 wins, so previous year's wins not a big indicator. Still I'll take 8-9 wins this year and call it a good year. T. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TD Ryan2 315 Posted September 22, 2006 If the Niners upset the Eagles, they upset the Eagles and nothing more. SF is doing some nice things but we still really don't know how to gauge the Eagles, nevermind a banged up on-the road Eagles team. If SF went to PHI and beat up a healthy Eagles team... that'd be a statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, no upset in this game. Last I checked...NFL teams have to play a full 4 quarters and even more should their be a tie. Wins and loses, and thus team performances, are entirely based on the final result and not who one individual quarters. This is not a boxing match where rounds are judged individually. You are either knocked out or you are the one knocking out. Eagles lost to the better team that day. If they were able to "dominate", as you so put it, they would have a W. Instead they did not dominate...they lost. They got rope-a-doped, and guess who the dope was? And do not talk about relaxing. They did not relax. They could not run out the clock because they have no run game. All those passing yards mean nothing if you cannot hold on to your lead while killing time off the clock. I am also amazed on how Eagles fans all of a sudden give props to the Giants and call them "one of the better team in the league" after they lose to them. Before the game, the Giants sucked. any ways......GO NINERS!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What McNair has to do with the Eagles...I have no idea...but... It is not that the Eagles have gotten worse, they are a good team even without TO, but it is more that the rest of the NFC East has gotten significantly better then even two years ago. The competition stepped up. The Eagles will need WRs to catch all McNad's passes and, more importantly, they will have to learn to run the ball effectively to win games. They lack key players in the skill spots on offense and that will bite them in the end. A WR2 from NO will not be the answer and defenses will soon find out how to stop him. Now I do predict they will still be the bottom of the NFC Barrel but that is not as bad as, say, the NFC North Barrel. For the Niners to beat the Eagles this week, it will take a very significant increase in performance from last year. For the Eagles to lose, it will crush them, even if the Niners have indeed turned their team around. now...like I said before...GO NINERS!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

football_scooter 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Where are you now, bigshot? uh, not pointing & laughing? there's a reason it's called an upset. No one expected the niners to win, and in the "upset of the week" topic I was posting wishful thinking. Who knew Westbrook was not only not "50%" but more like 135% healthy? But whatever...I expect the Niners to win 6 games this year, and this was not one of them. Way to rub it in though, big shot. Like celebrating the hunter clubbing a harp seal on the ice.

Rather, trying to get people to realize that the Eagles are legit and aren't candidates for upsets from teams like the 49ers (who I believe are much improved and will be formidable very soon, their offense is formidable now, IMO).
