Picture this: Jed wakes up to an alarm clock Monday morning. His National League Football team lost its fifth-straight game to open the season. What to do?
Well 49ers owner Jed York apparently decided to text someone associated with ESPN with a message – his team would win the NFC West title. This year. It would be the first time a team went from 0-5 to postseason.
Perhaps the two almost-win games against the Saints and the Falcons got him thinking that could happen. Both New Orleans and Atlanta are 3-1 against all teams but each other. In the head-to-head matchup, Atlanta beat New Orleans on an overtime field goal.
But with the Niners winless and under new control on offense, York has got to get real. I mean, work on what you can and shoot for next year. No reason to blurt early-morning messages through his cell phone. The division is weak – though perhaps not as weak as would be necessary for an epic San Fran comeback.
