First off I am a long suffering niner fan..This team has been god awful for 10 yrs now..Things have really changed really fast around here..Contrary to a lot of things I see written about this team on this forum I really think this team has a good chance to be good for a long time..First off have you ever seen a coach come in and do what Harbaugh has done?..I defy you to find one..He has taken a QB who nobody wanted here and has completely transformed him into a very serviceable QB...i.e..a 95.8 QB rating, 11 tds and only 3 ints but most importantly 8 wins in 9 games
I have been seeing people on this forum saying that this team has zero chance of beating Green Bay..only chicago, new orleans and even the giants have any shot..this is the nfl and anything can happen if you have watched any nfl games this year
The niners have given up the fewest points in the league, have the #1 rush defense(havent given up a TD on the ground so far this year and havent had a 100yd rusher in 30 games)..Patrick willis is an absolute stud but navarro bowman actually has been better than him at 2nd in the nfl in tackles with 92
Carlos Rogers is tied for 1st in INT's with 5 and they have a rookie in Aldon Smith who is 11th in the league with 6.5 sacks
they are #1with a +13 in the most important category, turnover ratio
Defensive lineman Justin Smith ran down speedster Jeremy Maclin to force a game clinching fumble against philly..he also batted down the last pass by eli manning to beat the giants just last week..thats heart and determination there
they are 4-0 on the road this year with games in philly, cincy, detroit and washington..very impressive to win 4 road games against anyone in this league as evident of some of the road losses we have seen this year
niners secondary gives up yards but its a bend dont break type secondary as evident in the fewest points allowed in the league
i would like all the people who dont believe in this team to tell me why and with good reason...
Thanks and have a nice day
