Week 11 - The Niners Are For Real!

Since moving up Highway 101 from Palo Alto to Candlestick, San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has brought back the glory days of the 80's to the bay area. The team returned to it's winning ways, stating the season at 8-1, and it's going to be interesting come playoff time. Two wins is all they need, and they'll probably host a playoff game. Looking at the team last week, their biggest strength is creating turnovers. Still the biggest question mark is quarterback Alex Smith. For eight years, the former #1 overall pick has toiled in mediocrity. It helps to have a former QB as your coach. Look for the Packers to get a challenge in the playoffs from the retro-Niners.

Horrible! Just plain horrible last week. Too many upsets doomed us! Let's just hope we don't have a repeat performance!
