49ers 2010 Predictions: Matthew Berry Is The Smartest Man Alive!

PrintThanks to LondonNiner for posting this in another thread. ESPN has posted their 2010 NFL predictions and I think it's safe to say Matt Berry is clearly a smart man who knows exactly what he's talking about! It's safe to say Berry has gone out on a bit of a limb as he is predicting a Super Bowl featuring the Baltimore Ravens and your San Francisco 49ers. He has Mike Singletary winning NFL Coach of the Year and Patrick Willis winning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
While Berry is the only one to pick the 49ers to win get to the Super Bowl, he's not the only one to predict Patrick Willis as Defensive Player of the year or Mike Singletary as Coach of the year. Six people predicted the Willis honor and two people predicted the Singletary honor. It'll be interesting to look back at these predictions in five months. While I don't expect a ton of accuracy, the love is certainly nice.

Smartest man alive? How about the most prophetic man alive?! Except we will win the Super Bowl.

I said this in another post
aren’t the 49ers and ravens eerily similar? They probably have a better offense but that may be only on paper.

I think it is a similar philosophy that you might be hitting on.
Both teams have a strong “D” that is centered on a great inside LB core.
I would say that the Ravens have a better offense on paper simply because the Niner’s offense is, thus far, relatively unproven. I wouldn’t be surprised either way to see one team with a better offense than the other at season’s end—be it Niners or Ravens.
Eh. maybe their offensive line is better, as of now at least....
but I will take the Niners RBs, WRs, TEs over the Ravens any day….and Flacco is a little overrated

maybe
but would you take Alex Smith over Flacco at this point in their careers? I think not.

Flacco would be the one quarterback in the league...
…factoring in age, who I would want right now if I could pick one. Flacco, I think, is fantastic.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

What I like the most is how the 49ers are predicted to win the west in all of the predictions.

After our preseason showing and the Leinart-Anderson debacle, I think there is little doubt.

Errr, not sure if you meant to put this
While Berry is the only one to pick the 49ers to win the Super Bowl
He predicted us to lose.
He’s a complete moron if he thinks we’re going to tarnish our 5-0 record. He knows nothing.
Seriously.
We only go, if we will win.

perfect superbowl record
Should we forfeit the superbowl if we doubt a victory?

If we make it, we will win.

First i made this name up 2 months ago i use 2 be called ''jaydubb415''so
its not like im jumping on that vernon davis,crabtree BS i did think of crabtree when i made up that name but not vernon.That prediction 49ers Vs Ravens in the SB is not a far off prediction.If the rest of sports media could take a break n pull their head out of ‘’the Ny jets ass’‘there would be more predictions like that.I don’t undestand a team thathe t went 9-7 on the season a QB who threw 20+interceptions get rid of their all-pro RB n still be a lock 2 make it 2 the SB.Alex smith half of year is better than sanchez ‘’Full-Year’‘am i lieng?Why can’t the niners be in the SB we have some of the same parts the jets have n better.

2 let go can’t believe i forgot his name lol whats his name played with chad in cincy?

Their fastest reciever is ''derrick mason''lol theres no way they beat us
espcially if they don’t have their all-world safety ed reed now with ed reed it will be a good game i just think were faster,younger,and more play-makers than baltimore but it would be one hell of a SB 2 watch.

Niners do have a punchers chance to win it all
Dallas Cowboys Greenbay Packers are 2 very talented football teams, as well as the 49er’s, and as you know , it will come down to how well your QB plays, and the defense, and i believe that the 49ers defense will and must step up, for this team to be successfull
Romo is a choker
And only team I’d worry about is Packers. COME BACK TO THE STICK FOR THE CATCH III, CRABTREE STYLE!
by mr. instigator on Sep 2, 2010 3:40 PM PDT up reply actions
This is true
Everyone gets so high on the Cowboys every. Single. Year. And I’ve never bought it. They may be glamorous, they may be “America’s Team” (whatever that means), and they may win a lot of games… but unless they learn to lean on that offensive line (which I don’t see any signs of happening), they’ll continue to let Romo throw away their chances when it counts.
And hell yeah, we need The Catch III. In the playoffs. Against either the Packers or Cowboys, of course.
Whoa… is it the 90’s again? Could we seriously have Boys/Pack/Niners in the playoffs again?
I'm ready as hell.
I’ve been dreaming of those days for 8 years now.
by mr. instigator on Sep 2, 2010 4:15 PM PDT up reply actions
Seriously.
I think I just psyched myself up way too much, haha. I feel an aneurysm coming…
You know what else? I want payback on Favre. Bigtime.
Is the crabtree style
Where Davis drops it and crabtree sneaks in and catches it?

Honestly
I’ve been trying to manage my expectations, but I fully think we’ll make the playoffs and then once we’re there anything can happen and I could easily see us making and winning the Super Bowl.
However, we’re gonna need everyone to click and probably gonna need our fair share of luck.

I know
So let’s see. We are expected to make playoffs. That means we have a 1/6 chance of making it to SB. Then a 1/2 chance of winning it, BUT we CAN’T lose a SB. So, it comes down to losing to the Chargers tonight to guarantee our destiny.
by mr. instigator on Sep 2, 2010 3:42 PM PDT up reply actions
Well...
Obviously, the smartest man alive would have the 49ers WINNING the Superbowl. ;) The 49ers simply don’t go to Superbowls to lose them. Am I right or am I right? Or am I right? Or am I right?
Seriously though… I never want to see the 49ers lose the Superbowl (I’d rather see an NFC Championship loss). I am very, very attached to that undefeated Superbowl record. We need to catch back up and pass the Steelers, dammit!
You know, considering all the competition in the other divisions, it isn’t blasphemous to think the 49ers actually have an outside chance at a bye week in the playoffs. I don’t necessarily predict that, but it’s certainly possible this year.
Either way, as we’ve seen in recent years.. if you get ni the playoffs, you can be the Superbowl Champions. This 49ers team really should be thinking Lombardi Trophy. Aim high (no, not you, Alex Smith, lmao. On target will do fine from you).
Smith can aim high now....
they have Ziggy to haul those passes in lol
by sanfranfanmdk on Sep 2, 2010 4:14 PM PDT up reply actions
Left is not an option!
At least it’s not if you ask Alex Smith…
OHHHH BURN GET IT CUZ HE ONLY RUNS RIGHT LOL
… Why am I burning one of my favorite players? lmao
If it was Baltimore Vs San Fran, it would definitely be a defensive battle....
But with as little as homerism as possible, I think our Offense has a better chance against their D than their Offense has against our D
Oh that would be a good game of two
hard nosed hard hitting teams. And that is one of those games where Coach Sing’s philosophy of physical and mental toughness will go a long way. That would be my call also cuz i hate pretty much all the other teams in the AFC and have a lil respect for the Ravens cuz theyre not arrogant.
But i LOVE my Niners!!!
"We are not a charity, we cannot GIVE them the game." -Mike Singletary
If you think about it, since 2005
and the advent of the Nolan and then Singletary eras, the 49ers have modeled their team in the image of the Ravens. Their are many similarites in philisophies that the 49ers have implemented, not suprising since both Singletary and Nolan were transplants from the Ravens organization.
Heck if the Ravens could win the Super Bowl 10 years ago with TRENT DILFER @ QB, why can’t the 49ers do the same with Alex Smith?
by John Edward ''Jed'' York on Sep 2, 2010 5:59 PM PDT up reply actions
Thinking hurts the brain, especially since 2005
Good observations, and that’s very true. After all, both Nolan and Sing came from the Ravens coaching staff. And even though Nolan wasn’t a good “head coach,” he certainly has high football intelligence and helped establish a good foundation for winning football. Or at least… a much better foundation than the moron Erickson left behind…
BEST CASE SCENARIO:
1) 49ers win the NFC West running away with 10+ wins, secure #1 or 2 seed + 1st round BYE and/or homefield advantage
2) NFC Divisional – 49ers defeat Greean Bay @ home, Patrick Willis does a Leonard Marshall on Aaron Rodgers & knocks him out of the NFL for 2 years (he gets released in 2013 and signs as a FA, returning to the Bay Area hint).
3) NFC Championship – 49ers shock the rest of America by beating Dallas in Dallas. Romo pulls a Favre & throws a boneheaded INT giving the 49ers the ball and a chance to win, down 6. “The Catch” Pt. III occurs— Smith to Davis post route, with VD dragging 4 Dallas defenders the final 5 yds for the winning TD with 5 seconds left. 49ers win 28-27 and the WHOLE TEAM celebrates on the Dallas star.
4) Super Bowl XLV – Ravens vs 49ers. In the most DEFENSIVE struggle in Super Bowl history, these two teams slug it out in an epic for the ages in which it seems all the scoring is with FGs. Down 12-9 with less that 3 mins, Alex Smith leads a drive and seems certain to lead the 49ers to a Montana-esque winning TD. But Ray Lewis knocks him out of the game with a sack inside the Ravens 20. With time expiring, Joe Nedney kicks a 38 yd FG, thus sending it into the first Super Bowl to go to overtime. With their QB out, and morale down the 49ers seem to have lost momentum, and the defense allows the Raven to kick a FG for the LEAD, 15-12. BUT WAIT— the NEW OVERTIME RULES went into effect during the 2010 playoffs, including the Super Bowl so the Ravens CAN’T win with just a FG, they have to lead by 4 pts or more. The 49er have ONE LAST CHANCE on offense— and it seems 2nd sting QB Nate Davis will have to lead the drive to either tie or win it with a TD. No need to worry………….THE 49ERS WIN THEIR 6TH SUPER BOWL ON A MEMORABLE KICKOFF RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN BY TED GINN!!!!!!!!!! The crowd goes wild and after Nedney kicks the crucial extra point for the win, the Niners rush onto the field and then lift Coach Singletary as they once again celebrate at midfield on the logo of “America’s Team”. Commisioner Goodell and host-owner Jerry Jones grudgingly hands the Lombardy triphy to Singletary and 49ers owners.
THE END.

alternate ending
Michael Robinson got stung by a bee the day before and is put on IR. Kory sheets come back from the grave and signs with the team moments before the game. Singletary knows that KSIOF and puts him in. On a fake punt, Andy Lee throws a last second TD to Kory Sheets, and once again, the Kory Sheets bandwagon is reborn. While celebrating, Andy Lee punts the football and hits the giant screen, and it breaks. All the little animals that are in the screen are free.
Go 49ers
that gave me a boner
