Do you realize that if Seattle (who is playing Seneca Wallace tonight) loses to a surging Oakland (yes, I know, unlikely) then we will have a good shot at the divisional lead. Check it out: Seattle is 4-3 and St. Louis is 4-4. Both teams are on a 2 and 3 game losing streak respectively. If the Hawks lose tonight then they are tied with the Rams at 4-4. Next week Seattle has to play the Rams in Seattle, who they should easily handle even if they start Seneca Wallace. That would put the Rams at 4-5. After we beat the Lions (not to overlook them, but it is a very winnable game for us) that will put us at 4-5, technically ahead of the Rams because we defeated them in week 2. Our very next game is in San Fran against Seattle and that would be for the division lead. Think about it.

i’ve been saying it all along that after we beat the vikes, and the rams lose to the chiefs, we’ll only be 1 game out of 1st place for our division, assuming oakland beats a struggling, QB/RB-less seahawks team
detroit is definitely winable for us, assuming our offense puts points on the board, because detroit can score big points and roy williams is having a career season. do i think 49ers will win the nfc west? well if they do, it just goes to show u how weak the nfc west really is. i can see the seahawks getting back on track once alexander and hasselbeck return, but until then, every win we can scrape up will go a long way.

easier said than done. i dont think the lions are an easy win at all. Not when we cant score TDs against a mediocre defense.

I’ll believe it if alex smith starts to make plays like montana and young! the niners have potential, but they definitely lack talent at this point in the game…so to me they would definitely need alex to play on a level noone has seen yet. I could see them really rallying around him if he brought some magic on the field. OK let me wake up

Minnesota is far from a mediocre defense considering they were the 2nd best defense against the run and our running offense is what opens things up for our passing game not the other way around.

I just dont think the niners have any business in the playoffs this year. I don’t think they’ll be ready even if they do somehow manage to get in. Do you guys want to watch another blowout? Their not ready.

Dude this can happen since oakland has a good defense, and seattle has a crappy offense, but then again so do the raiders
