Radiostationrep.. How you gonna drop a post full of IFs in response to a post full of FACTS? If, if, if..
IF I choose the right numbers, I can win the lottery. IF I make the right moves after that, I can become richer than Bill Gates. IF after that I associate with the right people, I can meet Alicia Keys and IF I say the right things I can tap that ass.

That's assuming we lose to the Titans AND Bears, plus you guys win your next game. You're overlooking the fact that it's unlikely we'll lose to the Titans and it's unlikely your team will be able to beat anybody unless their next opponent is either STL or Detroit, and even then I'm not too sure the raiders would be favored. And that's not me hatin or talking shit, we both know this is true shit.
well our next game is against KC
that's a game we SHOULD win... we're coming off a bye, we're at home, we have a few injured players coming back... then again... it's the Raiders... we usually don't win when we're expected to... we'll probably win some random ass game later in the season vs. a half decent team... then get killed the next week... that's how we do it
I don't think the niners will lose against tennessee and chicago... but there is a decent chance they will lose one of those games IMO... likely to the Bears
(and that's not hating either)

The Crabtree Curse haunts San Fran

"Beware the Crabtree Curse! San Francisco opened the season 3-1, with its sole loss to powerhouse Minnesota on the game's final snap. Since signing Michael Crabtree, San Francisco has lost four straight -- the Niners just rolled over at home against the Titans, who came into the contest 1-6. Coach Mike Singletary had San Francisco's players buying into the notion that no one's bigger than the team. Then, suddenly, you can jerk San Francisco around all you want and get $17 million guaranteed as your reward. San Francisco management's cave-in to the me-first Crabtree triggered an instant losing streak, by communicating to other 49ers the message that the team-first stuff was always just empty talk. Caving in to Crabtree may cost the Niners their season.
Squared Sevens apologists have put word on the grapevine that team management should be praised because the contract Crabtree signed in early October was the same one offered before his nutty holdout began -- no added sweeteners were offered. So Crabtree shafts his team, and the team responds by not upping its offer -- talk about profiles in courage! Once training camp broke, San Francisco should have reduced its offer to Crabtree, since he was worth less at that point. A rookie who holds out is worth less every week; by season's start he is worth substantially less, since he becomes less likely to succeed as a pro, while projecting waves of negativity onto the team.

• "Monday Night Football" analysis
• Wildcat update
• Cheerleaders, wear high heels!
• The problem with concussions
• A cosmic thought

• Obscure college scores of week
Yet Crabtree was allowed to take training camp and the first month of the season off, sitting on his couch -- and then he was given just as much money as he would have received had he reported on time and put in the work like everyone else. To boot, when he finally bothered to show up, Crabtree was treated by the Niners as a conquering hero. The result is four straight defeats for a team that previously looked primed for a playoff run. And don't tell me the Niners have offensive line injuries -- it's the NFL, everybody has injuries. Owing to a featherbed schedule -- only two of San Francisco's remaining eight opponents have a winning record -- this team still might stumble to a decent finish. But before Crabtree, Singletary did not tolerate excuses -- but suddenly the San Francisco franchise is all about excuses. Beware the Crabtree Curse!"
