Tough schedule. I thought they needed 4-1 in first 5 to get to 12-5.
They are going to have to win a lot of games against tough teams.
Maybe tougher than expected, since they already lost to the Rams and the other two division rivals might be good.

Might have to take my criticism of Hargrave back. He tore his tricep, likely on that play. Out for the season. The hits just keep coming. So far this season is reminding me an awful lot of the 2020 season where they were coming off the Super Bowl loss and half the team got hurt and they went 6-10. I don't think they will be that bad but division is definitely in play with Seahawks 3-0 and the 49ers reeling and decimated with injuries.

It's reasonable that a team would struggle when the best Tackle, RB, and TE in the league are all on the bench. At least you still have the best LB in the league on the field.
reply
Yeah but the Rams were missing even more guys than the 49ers. If they lost to a full strength Rams team it would be understandable.
reply
Sure, but they only might have been missing the best WR in the league (I'm not sure whether that's Puka or Kupp, though).
Aside: My dad was joking that teams should just give their starters the week off when they play the Raiders, since we're so reliably terrible against backups. The Rams, especially w/ Jimmy G, would have eaten us alive.
