49ers offensive forecast: A major chance for an abundance of Frank Gore. So the 49ers are 0-3.  I had them at 11-5.  I’m not backing down.  The defense is still stingy despite what happened against Kansas City.  The offense has the playmakers, and they got the “rat” out.  Two defeats on the road against winnable [...]

Niners do nothing right in 31-10 loss to Chiefs

The 49ers may still be the best team in the NFC West – they are just not showing it. Sunday in Kansas City, the team took all the positive momentum from their three-point loss to the Saints Monday night and flushed it down the toilet as the team lost to the Chiefs 31-10. “I never [...]
