I know that Farmer's Branch are long suffering supporters. This is the first game of the season, so I think it can be won...and solidly if it is won.

You are being held forcibly, right? Nod if you are, mein buddy. We will send a team of Forum special ops to rescue you. Don't lose hope. Do as your captors say for now. When you hear the door being broke down we will be there. . . .

Depends on how much the defense has improved. If we play defense like we did last season, the game will be over with by half time.

Win or lose, I'll be watching from section 219 with my brother and best friend, who's a 49er fan (the bastid, lol). If my wife will make up her mind whether she wants to go to the Saints game, I'll find out how much THOSE tickets are being outrageously re-sold for.

I understand the idea, but I don't think they're untouchable.

Really, they haven't had to face many top 10 QBs since they became the team they are in 2011. The exception is GB, but they just seem to have GB's number. That said, those are still competitive games.

I wouldn't be surprised if they face a team with a strong OL, top 10 QB with top 10 skill position players they might have to play catch-up.

Don't forget that 2 of their best defenders will be out

I think it's a must win game if they are going to have a good season. Teams with good records at the end have to win a few games like this. It's at home... no excuse not to be competitive.

The team has opened up fairly well lately.
With game being in Dallas, I'd think we'd have a punchers chance.

I think we have a good chance, too. We're at home, we'll have a good crowd, and as much as anything I feel like SF is due for a down year. It's very difficult to win as much as they have the last three years and keep it all rolling.

- Aldon Smith and Bowman will be out. Our offense at home will be able to shine. We will be pumped at home, have home field advantage and let us not forget that Kaep is a very overrated passer...

If we lose to SF it is because we don't stop frank gore. I have faith that during the offseason, we will be able to keep him in check for around 100 yards. Just saying.

We always put up a good fight against the niners. I could see this being our only upset win of the season

Exactly...
And don't forget their secondary has lost Carlos Rodgers, Tarell Brown and Donte Whitner. Their receivers which include a has been and a never gonna be don't exactly strike fear in the heart of defenses either.

They should be more worried about who will be covering our offensive weapons, than we should be about theirs. Romo will pick them apart if our line holds. It should hold, because without Aldon they don't generate much of a pass rush imo.

I don't know guys I think dallas comes out and makes a statement. They did it last year when they did we couldn't be Giants in Dallas. I take our offense over SF any day, Rod has showed that we get turnovers.

Remember Packers and Saints Superbowl win? Both defenses was garbage the year each team won but they was able to create turnovers and won on offense.

I say we win by 17

Lets break it down:
ST=us
QB=them
OL=us
DL=them
WR=us
RB=tie(if we make it to the first game healthy)
TE=us
LB=them
S =them
CB=us
coaching=them(at this point)
There you have it, it's a tie.;)

Did you know that dandelions can be used as a rubber substitute or even a coffee substitute. Or, they come in very handy in survival.

How about them Cowboys!

Oh, and the burn barrel bunch might appreciate knowing that it makes a palatable wine as well.

I think we beat them the last time we played them. Romo and broken ribs and all. He still threw for 345 yrds and 2 TD's.

Yes, how soon they forget. I think Jason was coaching that game ... I may be wrong, but probably not;)
