***Week 14 GameDay Thread - 49ers @ Bengals***

[Joelist]

Notice we already have people even on this forum who are starting the whole "this team is a year ahead of schedule" and "next year will be different" stuff - EXACTLY what the franchise wants to get fans to believe. The truth is the reverse - if they don't succeed THIS YEAR they won't do so in the future. Anything short of a playoff win is another disastrous lost season. Another season where they con their fans and give them nothing in return for their support - the NFL version of battered wife syndrome.
