THENINES - Boy can I identify with Mike Mitchell. When you grow up watching the 49ers of the 80's & earlier 90's this current 49er team is hard to swallow. Obviously there are some good things about the team also. 99 & 00 were hard to take but I think we all realized we were paying our dues for overspending previously. 01 was a pleasant surprise and 02 has been very bittersweet, but at least we won our division and are in the playoffs, but I got to tell you I don't have the warm and fuzzies about it though because of way we haven't performed against better teams and barely squeak by the weaker teams. One good thing though, our defense seems to be coming around and if we can add Bronson, Winborn, Rahsheed back into the mix it should get even better.

Personally, I don't buy into Peter King's assessment of how the 49ers are doing and where they are headed. I also don't think it's fair to tell your fans I know this isn't what you're used to but find a way to like it.

I don't think Garcia is our answer, especially not for the long haul. Mariucci is tolerable if he has the personnel he needs. Mooch & Garcia together for any prolonged period isn't going to work, unless we get such a supporting cast it would be hard for them to screw things up. That's not the way you should build a team and a future by settling for someone that can barely get by, some of the time. Right or wrong the 49er fan base has been privileged and spoiled to have one of the most successful winning franchises and to settle for and shoot for anything less is not acceptable. So ya, if the 49ers owners and management stubbornly resist "change" for the better then you might see some fans "tune out". I love the 49ers but if I see the powers that be refuse to do what they can to make the 49ers the best they can be, I might get a little disinterested myself. I will always be a 49er fan but my passion is squelched when I see some of the ugly, pathetic football the 49ers seem to play to often.

I hope the NINERS can find a way to turn it up a notch for the playoffs. The way the NFL is today you just don't know or can't make any assumptions. In any given game any team has a chance.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
