The San Francisco 49ers - Outlook for 2011

The 49ers had a tough year, just missing the playoffs, but we did recognize a lot of mistakes that they made throughout the season.

They had some big mistakes on the defense, they have some great defensive players but need a new atmosphere.  I think it was a great choice firing coach Mike Singeltary (they needed that). I think the new coach Jim Harbaugh will take them far but needs to shape them up a lot.

They need  to get pushed hard and battle hard. On the other hand they also definitely need a new Quarterback. Alex Smith went on 4 game losing streak. Alex Smith has a great arm good accuracy but he's missing something. He's missing the point  the Quarterback is supposed to take charge of the situation lead the team and help them when it's hard but he's not using that, so without that the Lombardi trophy with not be returned to San Francisco so they need someone soon.

I would recommend they should get a new Quarterback in the draft before even thinking about someone else! Meanwhile Troy Smith was also hard to predict, but he a good start wining the first game of the NFL of his career to the Broncos. They need to encourage him and help him because I personally think he could become one of the greats.

On their chance to the Superbowl - well that's a lot to think about. I'm sure they will make it to the playoffs but it will be tough to get through the playoffs. I think they have a good 40% percent chance of coming home with  Lombardi trophy next year!

Who's Better Walter Peyton Or Barry Sanders

As you may know,Walter Peyton and Barry Sanders or some of the best running backs or the best running backs ever.We will be comparing them and showing some differences and then at the end who's better!
Walter Peyton,in the Pro Bowl 9 times and has succeeded to get 1 Superbowl.He finished with a career high with 16,726 yards  and 110 touchdowns!He was recognized as one of the best running backs ever!
Now, Barry Sanders,10 time Pro Bowl and has  been named All Pro eight times.He played for a 10 year career and finished with no Superbowls but also a career high with 15,269 yards and 99 touchdowns!
I got to say that I think Barry Sanders has the edge! 

Who Do I Think Will Win Superbowl XLVI

I Think it won’t really be clear who will come home with the Lombardi trophy,but inside me it tells me that it will start like this.

The Wildcard: 49ers vs Bears, N.Y Giants vs Packers, Chargers vs Steelers,Jaguars vs Jets!

Then the next stage Bears vs Packers,Chargers vs Ravens,Jets vs Patriots,Falcons vs Eagles.

Then,

Packers vs Eagles 31-34,Patriots vs Chargers 10-21 .Oh my God,who will win the Superbowl!

The Patriots against the Eagles.This is the hard part but I will have to give the Lombardi trophy to the the the...Patriots!It’s coming home to New England!Lets say the score was 21-17 to make it close.eh!

So thats it the Patriots have won it!

Predictions of what place they will be in their Divisions:

NFC West	NFC North	NFC South	NFC East
1:49ers 10-6	1:Packers 11-5	1:Falcons 12-4	1:Eagles 13-3
2:Seahawks 8-8	2:Bears 11-5	2:Saints 9-7	2:N.Y Giants11-5

4: Raiders 5-11	4: Browns 4-12	Titans 7-9	Miami 6-10

  

The 49ers New Coach: Jim Harbaugh

Jim Harbaugh stands as new head coach of the 49ers. He got placed to this role by bringing a Stanford football team from 1-11 to 12-1 and also brought home the Orange Bowl.

He works with teams a lot and shows them how to work as a team.    He takes teams that our low and takes them to a higher level through a combination of strategy, teamwork, and self belief.

I think he will take the 49ers to first place in the Division, and more, and claim his position of  a great NFL head coach!

We think Harbaugh will be successful. Why?  Because he's shown that he takes everyone to a higher rank.  Alex Smith has a been a huge disappointment in San Francisco since he was drafted in 2005, but he certainly has talent. Good arm and successful accuracy and throw. He has underperformed because he has never been in a system where he could be successful.  Jim Harbaugh will put that system in place. Where everyone knows his roles. Where being average is not tolerated, where everyone is a team player or he's not on the team.

Instead of saying, OK, we're not great at passing, we're going to play "smashmouth football" and run over people.  The problem, with that approach is that all defenses knew Frank Gore was getting the ball,  and when they stopped him, Smith had to face blitz after blitz. This is not a way to make some one great! No, Jim Haubaugh would will be more intelligent, with a better idea of how to run an offense. He'll say, OK, i'm going to work with you on an offense that makes the Defense uncertain, that mixes passing plays and running plays, creates mismatches, and make the most out of talent you have.  They had Brian Westbrook last year, and managed almost to never get the ball! What a waste!  Harbaugh would have make sure he was a key, player, and that would have made Gore more successful, not less!

He will also inspire confidence in his players. He'll say "I'm going to work with you so you can  get far- so you can be a better quarterback than I was when I was in the NFL.  He will instill a belief in that he QB will always hit his target.

Sit back and watch, Jim Harbaugh will take the 49ers on a journey that they will never forget!

How The Green Bay Packers Got And Won The Superbowl!!!

The Green Bay Packers went through alot,they had a great end as you know. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led his team to be 10-6 and just make the playoffs!!!! They were good on the passing game, the rushing game and especially the great defense!!!! They got through the playoffs well, beating the Eagles, then, just destroyed the number 1 seed Falcons 44-28 and then beat the Chicago Bears 14-21!! Then the Superbowl they face the Steelers,they win!!31-25!!!!!!Aaron Rodgers is the MVP and the Lombardi trophy is coming home to Green Bay!!!!!If you want to read more we wrote all about the Superbowl in a previous post.

How Football Was Invented

American football was first introduced to North america in 1874 by the great harvard university as an improved version of rugby that was shown to america by the british army 1868. It then evolved over the next 3 decades because of the lack of pads and protections that had an enormous toll it had on the players. And football still remains quite brutal that Theodore Roosevelt threatened to close it down in the 1980's if the rules were not carried out more safely.  

Harvard university came to this fascinating invention because of a desire of a new game on the Havard campus.

The first couple of games were played between Harvard university and McGill. Even though they are the founding Universities they are not recognised as the founders by the football audience because of the rules they played with. For example it did not allow forward passes and there was no line of scrimmage. The modern rules we play with today were mostly developed during the 1880's and the 1990's. These rules were adopted after Roosevelt threatened to close it down. Which would be hard to imagine football without these rules today.    

Who's Better - Tony Gonzalez or Jason Wiitten?

Here are some other comparisons and differences on great NFL players tight ends.
Tony Gonzalez is a 12 time pro bowler who has been amazingly successful in the last few years. He hasn't won a Superbowl but has managed the playoffs many times. He is big and as fast as any other football player.He has a great catching skill and has caught so many touchdowns!

On the other hand, Jason Witten is a great player has been in the Pro Bowl 6 times and has been just great in all of them! He has a great catching skill and is fast and good at getting around people.
There both great tight ends,but I think Tony Gonzalez has the edge.
