2019 49ers Season Starts 5-0!!

October 13, 2019 by kmabarrett

EVERY year I say the same thing in August: “There are only two valid tests for a successful San Francisco Forty-Niner season – Did we win the Super Bowl or did we beat the Rams twice?“

You see I grew up watching the Niners win one(1!!!) game against the Los Angeles Rams in ten years. In the 1980s-90s, when we went on to win five Super Bowls in fourteen years, I still had the same question? I don’t care about anything else if we don’t win the Super Bowl that year except: “Did we beat the Rams twice?” If the answer to either question is “yes”, then we had a good year. Otherwise, I don’t want to hear about appearing in the Super Bowl, winning the NFC, winning the Western Division, having a winning record – or ANYTHING else. Win the Super Bowl or beat the Rams twice…

Of course, anybody will tell you it’s also nice to beat the Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders in the same season as either of the two above, but they are DISTANT seconds to the two defining conditions mentioned above.

Anyway, my point is we (the Forty-Niners) are halfway there… Today, we went down to LA and put a whipping on the Rams (27-7). We are now halfway to a successful season without even having to play in the Super Bowl. Traditionally, NFL teams which finish with 10 wins in a season, make the playoffs. We now have 5 wins with 11 games to go. In theory, we only have to play .500 ball to make the playoffs. Bottom Line: our next game against the Rams is on 22 December. Go Niners!!!

Go Niners! My Chiefs have now lost the last two games and with their horrible defense, I’m not sure they can make the playoffs.

  LoL! Having been born in KC, the Chiefs have long been one of the AFL / AFC teams I support(ed). Of course, I switched my loyalties to New England when Tom Brady beat the Raiders and the Rams on the way to and then in their first Super Bowl win. I still like Andy Reid and I was happy to see Alex Smith do well there – even though they never got over the hump to win a SB. This is going back aways, but I was also happy to see Joe Montana take the Chiefs to the playoffs. The Chiefs don’t look to good right now (for the playoffs anyway), but you never can tell… The season is barely through the first quarter. They just need to get people (back) healthy. 🙂
