NFL 2014: Pack Your Bags, 49ers are Super Bowl Bound 2
It may be early, but one fan already believes he knows which NFC team will be playing in the Super Bowl.
NFL kickoff 2014 is nearly a month away, too far into the future to hear any predictions about who’s likely to reach the Super Bowl. Especially from a fan touting his own team.
But if my early prediction about the World Cup is any indicator, I deserve an exception.
The San Francisco 49ers are about to embark on a tremendous season.
The offseason has been tumultuous, to say the least. This may ultimately serve to provide the intrinsic motivation the team needs to push them forward for a great start to the season. They’ll need it, to be sure. Coach Jim Harbaugh and GM Trent Baalke have been embroiled in a power struggle that hasn’t yet been resolved. The season will need to be a rousing success in order to keep everyone happy.
On top of that, some players are unhappy about contracts, and defense is worrisome due to the ongoing threat of suspension of Aldon Smith due to off-field antics (if you can call a fake bomb threat to LAX ‘antics’). Chris Culliver and Adam Kilgore were arrested in the offseason, and even Colin Kaepernick had a run-in with the law (though was rightly exonerated of any wrongdoing).
So…what’s going right with the 49ers? Read the rest of this entry →
