NFL  > San Francisco 49ers  > Not again...

Six games into the season and I am forced to ask myself one question: what do we have here? The Niners came out on fire, tearing through their first three opponents. They had us all thinking that there was something different about this team. Even taking into consideration that those first three opponents were divisional foes, the Niners still gave me reason to have hope. Alas, a trip to the Metrodome sent those hopes back down to Earth in a dizzying tailspin. I was thinking that maybe that dagger from Brett Favre took the team???s heart but I can???t be certain. One thing I do know is, by midseason, the misery of having no team to root for and just rooting against the teams that I hate is getting to be too much for me.

I know what you mean, Keep. We had three consecutive 5-11 seasons, and still have 13 years and counting of no playoff wins. All we as fans can do is hope for improvement, because no team is guaranteed anything. The 07 year we were 13-3, and you'd think we could have at least won a playoff game.

What I do is continue watching and hoping, never giving up, but also being realistic and keeping things in perspective. I also watch other teams play and enjoy the game for what it is. I don't hate any team either. But, that's just me. Hope this helps.

Good luck with the 49'ers.

Thats the bad thing about the NFL...its anyones game at any given time. Im disappointed with a lot of teams this season. Lot of blow outs I think are just pathetic. Teams are giving up it seems.

October 28, 2009  02:26 PM ET

Im in the same boat as you. Its hard watching those late season games when we are usually done half way through the year!!!

October 28, 2009  03:24 PM ET

Yeah, the ATL game took all the air from my balloon. Then to come out with a 0-21 start the very next game had me saying F. U. C. K. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAME OLE F. U. C. K. I. N. G. NINERS!. That being said, the season is not over and I really don't see us sinking like we did last year, though I have a feeling it may seem that way after the Colts game hopefully not. But we cannot afford to lose many more games after this week (assuming we lose) but I definitely agree that it is heartbreaking to watch games in Dec hell even mid Nov when my team isn't relevant.

Take solace, Vernon Davis has become a beast.

Bull, I'm trying to not hate teams. I made special effort to be complimentary of the Cowboys performance against Atlanta. It's like rewriting my dna though. I was an Oilers fan when I was a little snot-nose in the 70's because of Earl Campbell. I transitioned to the 49ers early in the '81 season as a result, Dallas has always had a target on that star emblem for me. I'm trying though...I'm trying.

I tell you what, Keep.........*grins*....

If you have to hate the Cowboys, then do so. It's okay with me. Sometimes I can't stand them either, and I'm grown up enough to understand where you and Duke are coming from when it concerns the Cowboys. You won't have any problems with me.

I can't speak for Mr Phallus (or others like him) tho. He did leave a message but he's not being ignorant today. #2 comment above.

Bull, I hope I inspired him. If a convicted idiot like me can show some signs of having one or two firing synapses, maybe he'll take it easy on us.

Inspired Mr Phallus? How did you do that?

If the man would quit with his name calling and be somewhat civil, I'd chat football or whatever, with him, as will others. This is one of the few times I've seen him act like a civilized adult. I know he can, because he admitted to me in a reply that he loves what he does and that I should see his hate mail....

I did change one basher....(another Cowboy fan, too)..............or maybe stop would be a better word...... once several months ago, but he disappeared. He even issued a board apologizing to the Steeler Nation for his constant barrage of insults. So, Mr Phallus can be changed too, but he'd have to want to.

We're all adults here right? Why did somebody go and get me kicked off? Now people are going to look at my post count and call me a newbie. Geesh, of all the people I have encountered I have never tried to get anyone kicked off. I guess I am going to have to stop using bad language because obviously somebody is sensetive. It was you narrator wasn't it?

October 29, 2009  03:18 AM ET

Nope. First of all I don't know how to do something like that. Secondly that's not my kind of thing to do, I'm all for freedom of speech.

I'm like narrator in that I have no idea how to do that to someone, and I'm all for the freedom of speech, even Mr Phallus's and Lumber's.

It's probably a moderator, or whatever they are called. Likely some or all of your comments will be disappearing soon as well, and all of the dead boards will be rising out of their graves.

Maybe you can contact one of them and see?

I've made some pretty damned good comments! You're telling me that my unique and completely intelligent way of presenting myself is going to be tarnished by liberal moderates?
