Double K's Take:What is going on in the Bay Area??, There must be something in the water…..



                                                                                                                                            Well I don’t really need to tell you about the misery that is going on in Santa Clara this season, right now the 49ers sit at 0-6 after another tough loss in the nation’s capitol; it was a history making loss. In the fact that it was the 49ers 5th loss in a row by less than 3 points, that is 6 heartbreaking losses, losses in which they truly had a chance to win. Mistakes have been the key with this very young team, penalty at the wrong time, dropped passes when they should be caught and it has resulted in the 49ers being the owners of a dubious record. Now let’s take a look at the positives, this team will get better and I don’t think we are that far away from seeing this competitive team turn the corner to being a surprise team that possibly makes the playoffs next season. They have youth and experience  on both sides of the ball and they may have found their future at QB this year as the Shanahan golden boy Bethard performed well in leading the team to all 24 points the team had this week. So have they been as good as advertised?? Nope but that’s because they have been better because they weren’t supposed to be as good as they are. Look or late in the season before they start putting together some wins….

                                                                                                                                             Now you would think with everything as it was to start the season, the Raiders should be on top of their division looking down on the other lowly teams in the AFC West as they walk their way to the AFC Championship game. It looks like that will not be the case as we sit 6 weeks into the season the Raiders are 2-4 and tied with the Chargers (2-4), and looking up at the Cheifs (5-1) and Broncos (3-2). This came because of an injury to Carr and the Carr insurance struggling in his time in on the field, which has lead to 4 straight losses. The good news for Raider Nation is that the Raiders will figure this out, just in time to try to lock down a wild card spot and still do some damage in the playoffs. They can only afford to lose 2 or 3 more games before they are out of playoff contention, and that would mean disaster for this season. So keep your heads high because they will be back they just have to figure out that they are a Super Bowl contender again and play like it. Till then this has just been hard to watch and both have left me saying What the hell is going on in the Bay Area??? There must be something in the water…
