The 49ers Seem like Legit Super Bowl Contenders After Week 1

After watching the Niners just handle the Rams and then watching all the other games, all these other teams that were supposed to be good kind of fall on their face or disappoint. I said 10 and 7 for the Niners. I was really down on them. Do we feel like this is a team that, I mean, obviously staying healthy, but is this potentially a Super Bowl team? Yes. Yeah. I think they stay healthy. Yeah. And not a 10 win team. This could be a 13, maybe a 13 win team, Iggy. I agree. I was golfing with Kevin this morning. He was like, dude, I think this is a 13 win team. I'm going to be betting on the Niners every week. Yeah. Hi, Kevin. Thank you. Yeah. I think it's a 13 win team. I do. I want to tell you something. I was watching the game. You were in Australia, becoming a superstar in Australia. And I was homesick, you know, lying in bed, watching, coughing. And I thought, God, I'd love to cover this team. Yeah. It would be a pleasure. It would be a pleasure to cover this team. And you know, all this stuff, Kyle's car accident, Jed with the sting. That's all in the past. It's football now, Iggy. Yeah. You know, even the extension, as horseshit as it is, it's in the past. Now it's football. And this is a great football. I would love to cover them. And I'm envious that you're getting to cover them. Yeah. What a start to the season in Australia. The way I was thinking about it, too, is like, there's a lot of things about this particular team that makes me feel like things could be different this year. Like for example, Jed's gone, Parag's gone. In a lot of ways, they've kind of been the albatross, to use a terrible cliche. But to me, they've been the ones dragging them down. Those guys. And now, oh, it's a theory of mine. Now they're gone. Maybe that's good. And another thing, man, this is kind of weird, but like someone said, Kyle got in that freaky car accident, had like a near-death experience. He seems locked the **** in ever since that. He is on top of it right now. He seems as focused as I've ever seen him. And when he's locked in, he really is as good as anyone. Yeah. And I understand a near-death experience can lock you in. Yeah. It sobers you up, you know, metaphorically, like all of a sudden it's like, oh my God. And I think we're seeing the best of Kyle right now. It sobers you to life. Yes, absolutely. It sobers you to life. I totally get what you're saying. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yes. So there's that. I mean, the fact that the quarterback looks excellent. The fact that they have a running game. The fact that the defensive coordinator looks really good. And then on top of that, who looked so good yesterday, week one? Which team looked just, you know, the Rams? I mean, the Seahawks looked really good, but they got an issue with quarterback. The Cowboys looked ridiculous. They're always ridiculous. The Eagles don't seem that good. Iggy, the Cowboys, you know how I said the Rams are overrated? Triple that for the Cowboys. For the same reason. I don't even like Dick quarterback. I really don't. I don't think he's a winner. Yeah. He's going to make a couple of plays in the game you're like, there was a play last night where he was, he scrambled, he dropped, gave ground, he tried to throw the ball away, didn't get it out of bounds, got intercepted. You got intercepted trying to throw the ball away. How? Dak? I've never seen Brock do something like that. Intercepted trying to throw the ball away. Trying to throw the ball away. Okay. Can't take you seriously. I mean, the Giants looked solid, but not as good as the Niners. It's one game. And hey, maybe the Jets. The Jets won. They beat Salah. But I can't say I believe in the Jets. It makes me not believe in Salah. Let's head over to PrizePix and make some official projections for the 49ers stars. Brock Purdy, 27.5 passing touchdowns more or less. I'm going to say more. Debo Samuel, 724.5 receiving yards. I'm going to say less. Mike Evans, 6.5 receiving touchdowns. I'm going to say more. Uh, yeah. Let me just go through the Niners schedule real quick and we can just, I mean, we do this every week, but, uh, the Dolphins, that's a win. The Cardinals could be interesting, but they should win. The Broncos, tough. Seahawks tough. Commanders, a joke. Falcons a joke. Raiders a joke. Cowboys a joke. Vikings. I mean, they had an impressive win yesterday, but Carson Wentz, are you scared of Carson Wentz? Seahawks? Giants? Tough. Rams? I don't know. Chargers? They looked awful. Chiefs? Fading. Eagles? Fading. Cardinals? I don't know. I don't know, man. They could absolutely win 13 games. This is a 13-win team, as currently constructed. Yes, it's a 13-win team. Even if, even if Brock misses four games, I think they could win 13 games. Yeah, because the other guy's good. Yep. Even if Christian McCaffrey misses four games, I think they could win. I mean, they dominated the Rams without Christian George Kittle really being a contributor. And it's not George's fault. He's coming off. He might be back next week, but he's coming back ahead of schedule. Yeah. He did well, and he will improve. He won't get worse. He will improve. Absolutely. Yeah. I got to tell you, I was very impressed with Trent Williams, but it turns out the other guy he was blocking had a broken leg or something. You know, the Rams were so full of ---- that, you know, Aaron Donald, but he didn't come. And this guy was there, but he didn't come. You know what? They should have phoned. Seriously? They should have phoned it in. Yeah. They should have said, look, we're not coming. We lose. We'll just forfeit. It's like a walk in baseball. You just have to pinch the ball. That happened. Right. They would have been better off. Yeah. Can you imagine flying that far to just hop in, get your ass kicked and fly right back? God, that must be awful. You're spending a lot of time on a plane. What a way to start your season. It's like, I hate everyone I see around me. I hate this whole team. We said, you know what? You know, and they're thinking, what was the coach thinking? What was the man like? What? Yeah. Like, he's not stupid. So what made him make a terrible decision? What the hell is going on? Yeah. This was a bad decision. It was a really bad decision. Yeah. Niners made the right decision. Kyle Shanahan didn't even want to go and made the right decision. After the game, all the Australian reporters were like, so we know you were kind of down on this whole thing beforehand, but you won. Like, do you want to come back? And he's like, I was on vacation. Sure. But not during the season. Are you kidding? This was, this was so stressful.
