Do you see this team winning in the playoffs? To me, if you can’t win against a 4 win team, and your other four losses are all but one against losing teams as well, it does bode concern. Teams will watch the Jets tape, the Cards tape and this game. Maybe the rams too but to me that loss was all special teams 


The positive side may be that for whatever reason, this team just can’t win on the West Coast. And they wouldn’t be the only team with that bug biting them. Maybe this can be chalked up to that. 

I don’t know. I see a top defense. A quarterback who clearly has potential to play well. Two good lines. Those are usually recipes for success. I would like to know what others think. And no screeching. Try to be rational (yes I know that’s asking a lot).

I see this team winning at least the first play-off game in a few weeks. That 49ERS team isn't the same team that started earlier on. They've had a reversal of fortunes ever since the Jimmy G. trade and they were already on a three game winning streak. The fact that this team lost in ARZ barely and then rallied in SF only to fall short with under 2:00 minutes left IMHO is a sign that they've started to mature a bit more as far as trying to win out there on the West Coast. 

I still think this defense is a force to be reckoned with. And I think the first home play-off game will draw a tremendous turnout from the fans and the crowd will be feeding them all the energy they can consume. My only concern is the WR position and OL positions. We really could use Hurns and Lee back out there in the line up to give Bortles more options. Cole and Westbrook can offer even more than they've already done this year as rookies with the spot light and focus not on them scheming wise. 

The offensive line just has to keep holding up the best they can.
