I suspect that 9 game losing streak is associated with Bill Walsh, and his experience with the Bengals prior to then. If anyone had a leg up on beating us, it would be him. Since then our record is comparable to our success with the rest of the league overall. Despite our setback with injuries, this is still one of the best teams we've ever fielded. And the bulk of the current players have no 'hangover' from our early failings against the Niners. I look at today's game as a blank sheet of paper. Looking forward.
