Barring and catastrophic injuries I don't see how the Niners don't finally get over the hump and win it all this year.

It took Purdy getting knocked out of the game to prevent it from happening last year. I honestly think even with Darnold this Niners team could win it all.

That Defense is absolutely nasty. If you don't know who Drake Jackson is you will very soon. Hargrave, Bosa, Warner, Hufanga, Ward, wow. Best D in the league, and its not close.

All kinds of weapons on offense with Kyle at the controls. If he doesn't have a meltdown in a crucial moment in the playoffs they should cruise to a Super Bowl win.

That being said, this team is so good I don't think any of the playoff games will be super close. This team reminds me of the 94 Niners.

This roster is extremely deep, talented, and angry about coming so close so many times.

Its gonna happen this year folks. Book it right now because the line ain't goin nowhere but up from here.

Niners to win it all in 2024.

Totally agree! GO NINERS!

@JimmyGape

 They do not win it with Darnold,that is crazy talk.

Agree. The defense is too good. They have three all pro players (Bosa, Warner, and Hufanga). They have arguably the best D-line and Dre Greenlaw is an excellent compliment to Warner.

reminds me of the Ravens. Purdy basically has to be Trent Dilfer and just manage the game and not turn the ball over.

Purdy is miles far and way better than Dilfer. Purdy is the real deal, he will be top 3 in QB rating at the end of the year. Led the NFL last year. Guy is very accurate and makes great decisions and doesn't make mistakes. Perfect for Kyle's offense.

Reminds me a bit of Montana honestly. Its crazy.

I agree. AFC team hasn’t impressed me

best defense? dallas cowboys entered this chat

Jets ended this chat..  ....   49ers secondary  is noooooooooooooooo  where as good as jets..  Overall Jets IMO..

doubt they win it the for mula i use every year 100% in all superbowls would need qb darnold to start

my #1 to win it all is Bengals #2 Raiders other nfc could beat 49ers is Seattle

already 11 teams cannot win the sb giants go fed 40-0 bagle 6 teams playing london = 7 ---4 teams whose qb's wear cursed #1 Eagles -- Cards --Bears and Dolphins

thats 11 teams eliminated and add in any teams that start out 0-2

@JimmyGape

 MONTANA ????,GET A GRIP AFTER ! GAME FOOL 

Fact is SF is legit and has just as good a chance as anyone else to win it all. They're well balanced, talented, and Purdy has proven he's the real deal. Comparisons to Montana may be premature to say the least but I can see some resemblance in the way he plays. I like them, what's not to like. Only the Eagles stand in the way to the Super Bowl and should they play again in January, I know where my money is going.

@Buffalobob89074

 what? It was the Niners first drive of the game

whatever you're smoking ship some this way

It just feels like the 49ers are ALWAYS knocking on the door every year . But can never break through. I’m not talking historically but more so the past 12 years. LOVE the team but the NFC championship or Super Bowl tends to be the end of the road . Not a bad thing as most fan bases don’t have that luxury 

They used to be the best franchise in football and won all 5 of their SB appearances. Since then we are the Buffalo Bills.

That being said, there have been many incomprehensibly, horrific, gut wrenching defeats.

The NY Giants 2011 NFC Championship. Harbaughs 1st year. Niner fans know this as the Kyle Williams game. Lost in OT.

The Ravens Super Bowl. Crabtree was held in the end zone and the refs didnt call it.

The Kaepernick pass to Crabtree in the end zone that Sherman made a play on.

The Chiefs Super Bowl, Kyle and the refs all lose their minds and the Niners blow a late lead.

Last year Purdy getting injured.

This is an organization that a thing or two go historically slightly differently and they are 8-0 in Super Bowls.

Crabtree was held.

C

The Richard Sherman Play

Noone remembers this play. Refs cost Niners the NFC Championship, horrible call. 2011

And the grand finale right here. The big tamale.

Literal proof the Niners were absolutely robbed of a Super Bowl 54 win. This is an absolute must watch.

So yea. Its been a rough decade or so.

But they get over the hump this year and win it all.

Slam it hard. Its gonna happen.

NFC championship: 49ers vs Cowboys 

Saving this for later

This thread is such a waste of time and human energy, Mrusso. Has this guy ever watched football? Heck, did he watch what happened to the Jets? Did he watch what happened to the Niners last year. Barring injury?!! What an idiotic post after week one. Football is all about injuries. They don’t play these games on paper. The poster must be 12 years old. To misquote the ancient Greeks:

No team goes through the NFL season and reaches the end unharmed. Ay, trouble is now and trouble still to come.
