DATELINE: Rock bottom. Getting thumped by a pretty decent AFC team is one thing. Becoming the punch line in 49ers fans' jokes is something else.
I say it's time for the "Humiliation Nation" to strike back. I hereby suggest a new battle cry for 2006: "At Least We're Better Than The 49ers."
In the wake of Week 1, I'm not sure what's more prideless: 49ers faithful upbeat about a seven-point loss to Arizona, or these same bozos celebrating the Raiders' shellacking at the hands of the Chargers.
It was proven in a preseason game last month in Oakland, and it will be reiterated next month in San Francisco: The Raiders are a better team than the 49ers. Nothing that happened in the past four days has changed that.
The 49ers moved the ball well against a team that was last seen surrendering 30 points to the Texans late last season. They also got manhandled by a bad Arizona offensive line, allowing a substandard Cardinals running game to short-circuit San Francisco's desperation comeback bid.
Bottom line: You lost by a significant margin to a team that's going 5-11 this season even in the weakest division in football. If you're standing up and applauding that, you really need to find a Sunday hobby.
