Yes, they beat us. We lost at home. They are 2-0 in the division... all facts.

So is the fact we were not ourselves. we did not play to our potential and 49ers did not have a lot to do with it.

I was so sick yesterday of hearing how bad the cards are and what a terrible year they are going to have. If listening to Jimmy Johnson's rage during pregame wasn't enough, I had to listen to Brian Billick (a former PR man for the 49er's I believe) doing the color commentating, tell us that the Niners with a 2-0 division record now have it sewed up. I can't believe the stuff I was hearing yesterday and it is only week 2!!!!

Oh well, I guess Pittsburg must be out of it now since they have the same record as the lowly Cards.

Whew what a day.

Agree az1965 we gave that game away with our sloppy play, they got a victory they did not EARN it imo!
Huh. That sounds like what fans of other teams said about us all last season.

I hope that we win the division and the 9ers and Hawks get the WC. Then everyone can **** about how weak our division is.

SanFrancisco beat us 20 -16. this is the NFL; It doesnt matter how the final score happened.. We beat Jacksonville 31-17 doesn't matter how we got there. We are now 1-1, 0-1 in division. Those are the facts uncolored.

You took out our best player on offense and we still beat you down in Arizona coming in as a 7 point underdogs. That says alot about the character of the 49ers. We came home and dominated a Seahawk team that shut out the Rams the week before. Keep talking about that trash but we know what kinda team we have.

By the way we don't need any respect from the Cardinals. You guys couldn't possibly give us any more than what we've given ourselves. All we care about is the W we got from your house week 1 and the rest if just spilled water.

You really consider that a "beat down?" My, how far the mighty 49er franchise has fallen.

LOL! Don't sprain your arm patting yourself on the back.

Yea it was a beat down because we came in as a 7 point underdog. Nobody on your team did anything except Hightower who was just a pawn in that chess game. The 49ers wanted him to catch all of those underneath passes and have Willis clean up the mess.

Your team is all talk. Wilson talked a bunch of mess before the game and he did NOTHING. Vernon caught first down passes while Wilson missed an assignment on covering Gore. LOL ALL TALK! Fitz got SHUT DOWN! Boldin got SHUT DOWN! Warner got SHUT DOWN! Ya'll did nothing!

Wait till you come to SF so we can walk the walk on you. As for right now that W is looking prettier and prettier since yall are a bunch of bitter fans.

Bitter fans? Gohard , you become more of a douche with each passing week. Your team won, so what? It is week freaking two FCOL! You sound like all the idiot pundits that are pinning for the niners supposeed return to glory already calling the division with fourteen games left.

Come here and talk crap when your team has actually accomplished something this season. Until then, crawl back to your hole, for you contribute nothing to this board but annoyance.

I've stopped listening to the national media this season. Waste of time for me. They have made some very wild, unsubstantiated predictions this season. My personal favorite was the Packers prediction that they would nearly run the table this season because they had a stellar preseason. Or the flip flop from the Pats running away with the AFC East to the Jets doing so. And finally, every pundit trying to find ways to make us 3rd in our division behind Seattle and SF. I'm glad Matt Millen of all people called SF a "pretender" to stop the man love for them after two games.

Speaking of SF fans, it is way too early to start thumping your chests. 2 games and the division is yours? Please. The only guarantee in the NFC West so far is that the Rams won't be relevant. Not saying SF is a bad team because the team looks solid thus far, just saying its too early to plant your flag anywhere.

We have been in the NFC west what 5 years now? I am finally developing a loathing for a certain team.

I'm not too worried. Their defense has looked good but the offense is not scaring me. Once Shaun Hill has to make a pass that isn't a check down to his RB or tight end or a 5 yarder to his WR to win they will be in trouble. Yeah, he had a bomb to a wide open Isaac Bruce in week 1 when McFadden got shook, but that's a throw any starting QB should make. If San Fran can come out of this patch of awesome with a winning record I'll be thoroughly impressed:

Week 3 - MN
Week 4 - STL (hope they can win that one)
Week 5 - Atlanta
Week 6 - Houston
Week 7 - Indy
Week 8 - Tennessee
Week 9 - Chicago
Week 10 - GB

Good luck.

Let's say we go 4-4 there. We still get to play the Seahawks, Rams, and Cards again. I see 2-1. Then we play the Lions. That's 9 wins already for us with 2 more to play. But frankly speaking, 9 wins will win the NFC West.

You won't go 4-4 during that stretch. Simple as that.


I wouldn't bank on 9 wins taking the division.

I'll tell you the same things I've been telling my fellow cards fans--the fact is the niners won by less than a TD. Don't make it out to be anything more than it is. (That's not a "beat down," it's a narrow win).

You can pump it up all you want in your own mind, but don't pollute our board with your incessant hate. I'm all for opponents' fans joining us here, but know where you are: you're a guest. Start acting like it.

:yeahthat:

It doesn't matter how SF beat us - they beat us, they got the win, we got the loss, and now we have to be ready for Indy.

I'll start worrying about the Whiners come December 7 2009. Until then, 1 week at a time.

As long as I don't disrespect anybody personally I don't see why I wouldn't be welcomed on here.
