OT - 49ers to be the second team to go 0-16?
For 2015 what are the chances of the 49ers going 0-16? They have lost a ton of players, their core coaching staff and may have some chemistry issues within the team.
Also some intangibles:
-Jed York being a meddlesome joke of an owner this has got to factor in
-Since 0-16 is a once in a lifetime thing and we've just seen the Lions do it a few years back...it is more likely to happen again! It's weird but freaky statistical things happen like that in close proximity
-Spent a fortune on a new stadium which seems to dictate a horrible season if karma has it's way
-Lost more players in 1 year than pretty much...anybody? I think I read a stat that said these guys had nearly 40% of the 49er playtime
So yeah they picked up some good guys but can a position coach yes man (Tomsula) that nobody wanted win in the NFL?
I'm seriously thinking of betting on lightning hitting twice @ 0-16 for the 49ers this year.

You forgot to mention that he should stop drinking and go to bed.
... to no man.
RCMB if this happens: "Hairball left that program on bad terms and in shambles! What a joke! When he pisses everyone off up at scUM and he gets fired, then the same thing is gonna happen their! 0-12 in 2018 lolllllll"
Props for the intentionally incorrect grammar
Why don't you take the next few plays off, bud.
29 more days, 29 more days...
Yeah the lions were terrible for a decade before hand, the 49ers have been part of the NFC elite for the last couple of seasons. They have significantly more talent to start with than the lions had that season even with the loss they experienced. The lions still almost managed to win a few of their games despite the talent gap. You need to have everything go wrong to go 0-16.
You do realize that the 49ers are favorites in week one of the NFL season right?
Uh, right. Because we all know that the favorite ALWAYS wins...
The personnel losses plus Tomsula are significant, but I the Vikes are trending upwards. I see them supplanting the Lions this year. A year under Bridgewater, AD coming back, and that nasty defense is going to make things rough for the Niners.(and many other teams)
They proceeded to go 4-12 and 7-9.
The defense should still be one of the best in the NFL. Going from Suh to Ngata isn't much of a downgrade

This isn't going to happen. They'll have a chance to beat the Vikings...in the first game.
But SF is projected to have one of the toughest schedules in the NFL this year. Part of this is that their division is one of the best in the NFL, but they also drew the AFC North and NFC North this year which were both pretty good last year in the NFL.
Would you actually make a bet on something because, "Spent a fortune on a new stadium which seems to dictate a horrible season if karma has it's way"?
this thread sucks
I don't wish a losing season on any fanbase. Even OSU. I would rather OSU come to us undefeated every year as we mop the turf with their sorry @$$! Watching a team lose such a hopefull season to your favorite team is much more gratifying....
The NFL has been pretty good about structuring itself to promote a certain level of parity between all its teams. The Lions were a special kind of bad to go winless in that environment.
There isn't a chance the 49ers go 0-16. They underachieved last year at 7-9 and while Kap had a down year last year he alone is worth 3 wins. The Lions 0-16 season was mostly dictated by awful, horrendous, unforgivable Quarterback play.
Yeah you're right, always remembered the season as 7-9 because I expected them to lose week 17 against Arizona.

I would say there a few teams that are quite a bit worse than the niners right now . Although they could be up for the fictional award of "worst offseason of all time"
Since 0-16 is a once in a lifetime thing and we've just seen the Lions do it a few years back...it is more likely to happen again! It's weird but freaky statistical things happen like that in close proximity
Talent and coaching come into play here, and the Lions were a special kind of awful during that, oh, shall we say "perfect season that no one wants" indeed. Despite the numerous ominous changes in the 49ers roster, staff and so forth, I can't foresee them being quite that terrible. "Not good" seems likely perhaps, but even most such teams normally manage to fight a few out and end up on top.
No one gives a shit about the 49ers (unless you happen to be a 49ers fan). The 49ers' situation has nothing to do with Michigan. They are not a rival of Michigan, so let's not conjure up a rivalry just because they happen to be the former employer of our current coach.
Let it go.
I go to bed every night and thank 8lb. 6oz. baby Jesus for Jed York. If I knew his home address I would send him a nice fruit basket.
Jesus, I mean. Not Jed York.
