I did a little research.....and correct me if I am wrong. The Rams went 4-12 the year before they named Martz the offensive coordinator, which was in 98'? Then in 99' they made a huge leap to 13-3? WTF, this can't be right. I'm not sure about when he was hired, but the records came straight from nfl.com. Did he really make the greatest show on turf overnight?

If so, I hope Martz can produce the same magical turn around this year for the Niners. 

Now that we are well into the off-season, I want to know if everyone is just as hyped about this season as I am. I want you to respond by giving your predictions about the 49ers upcoming season schedule. I want to know which games you think we can win, can't win, post-season predictions, possible pro-bowl selections, etc.....etc....etc....

Week 1.  (Home opener vs. the Cards) Does everyone remember when last year were the 49ers were the "sexy pick" to have a breakout season? Now the 49ers are nowhere to be found on sportscenter....and the Cards, or the Seacocks are who they are predicting to win the NFC West. When will they ever learn not to pick the Cardinals, they fail year after year. The niners take this game in a hard fought defensive battle.( I have a feeling Martz' offense takes at least 3-5 weeks to really start clicking.) W-1 L-0

Week 2.  (@ Seattle) We've proven that we can beat the Seacocks even with a mediocre team. The Patrick Willis lead defense continues to gell and wins this game for us. But, just barely, as our offense is effective, but only in glimpses. W-2 L-0

Week 3.  ( vs. Detroit ) Martz' old team, therefore he can point out their flaws on defense, and exploit them. I think this will be a moderately fast-paced game with a fairly high score, as the etroit Lions have no D....Ha ha! Get it? etroit, no D.... Nevermind.  49ers stay undefeated. W-3 L-0

Week 4. ( @ New Orleans) I think this may be our first loss....I went to the Saints game at home last season and our D seemed to struggle against them. Too many big plays!! W-3 L-1

Week 5. ( vs. The Patriots ) I don't think the Pats will be nearly as good as they were last year, but I can't realistically see the Niners taking this one. We lose our first home game. W-3 L-2

Week 6. ( vs. The Eagles ) I plan on attending this game as my good friend is an Eagles fan(he's also goin')....so we better kick there asses for bragging rights sake. W-4 L-2

Week 7. (@ Giants ) Defending champs, outstanding pass-rush. I think it's a slow defensive, run-first game. Won by the Giants. W-4 L-3

Week 8. ( vs. Seattle ) Close game as always, but I say the Niners pull out another victory vs. Seattle to sweep the series. W-5 L-3

Week 9.  Bye

Week 10. ( @ Arizona ) Arizona takes it's revenge....still another close game. W-5 L-4

Week 11.  ( vs. St. Louis ) A really late first meeting with this division rival. I foresee the Rams continuing to struggle. We've always matched up well with them. Patrick Willis will put a ball-and-chain on Steven Jackson. Our offense really gets going too! W-6 L-4

Week 12. ( @ Dallas ) I'm soooooo excited to watch this game.....I realize the rivalry isn't necessarily what it once was, as all the players are all gone. But it's still in the heart of the fans!! I hate the Cowboys! Therefore the Niners take this one on the road and break the hearts of Dallas fans all over the globe!! W-7 L-4 

Week 13. ( @ Buffalo ) No doubt a nearly sure-fire bet. Frisco takes it on the road. W-8 L-4

Week 14. ( vs. The Jets ) The Jets? In San Fran? Another victory! Possibly locking down a spot in the playoffs. W-9 L-4

Week 15. ( vs. The Fins ) Did anybody catch Miami's record last year? The team was acting like they won the Super Bowl when they won their first game late in the season. Win! Win! Win! W-10 L-4

Week 16. ( Final divisional match-up @ St. Louis ) I think the Rams actually might take this one. Another game won out of shear revenge. W-10 L-5

Week 17. ( Last game of the regular season vs. Washington ) The Niners take this one at home, gain momentum into the playoffs. W-11 L-5

Niners Pro-Bowl selections:

Frank Gore, Patrick Willis, Andy Lee, Nate Clements

Post-season predictions:

I love being an irrational fan....and love to think the Niners can win the Super Bowl every year.....if I didn't, I wouldn't be a true fan. Go Niners!!!
