This past week, everyone seems to have a deflated view of the 49ers. But really did we expect them to only lose one game this season? The team is doing an excellent job, really, even after losing a game that they had a crushing lead in. Should we be a little irked? Of course, but really, are the 49ers not meeting your expectations this season.

It’s time to re-inflate the balloon. All this negative talk is sure to get to the 49ers heads, even though they’ll all claim not to read the paper. This team is young and progressing, and will get better. Right now they are learning how to deal with winning, and really it’s harder to deal with than losing.

This team needs our support. And really they haven’t done anything to prompt us turning our backs on them. The best teams in the league benefit from playing with a good home crowds, it’s the twelfth man on the field concept, and it’s our support that can make a difference.

Our receivers will drop passes, our quarterbacks throw interceptions, our running backs fumble, and our offensive line will miss blocks. Our defensive line will be held sackless at times, our linebackers will miss tackles and our defensive backs may pass interfere… but it’s all part of the game, and we should appreciate how far this team has come.
