San Francisco 49ers Hot Start

By Dan Saganik

With the hiring of head coach Mike Singletary a new attitude has come to the San Francisco 49ers. He's the type of coach that's going to make things happen.

The 49ers gave the Minnesota Vikings all they could take - it took a Favre miracle pass for the Vikings to win. RB Frank Gore has the potential for another 1,600 yard season and QB Shaun Hill is getting better by the game.

The 49ers are in the same division as the Arizona Cardinals - the reigning NFC West champs. The Cardinals haven't played like Super Bowl NFC representatives as of yet.

The 49ers have a good chance to win the NFC West because they are so well coached and overall - the NFC West is rather weak. Whether it's a weak division or not, the 49ers should compete for the division crown which will get them in the playoffs.

The glory days of the 49ers might be gone but they are in the process of rebuilding another Super Bowl type team. This year might not be their Super Bowl season, in a couple years the 49ers could raise the Vince Lombardi trophy for their 6th time and the teams first since'95.

Coach Singletary is the perfect man for the job to make this happen, the 49ers are a young team and need a "general" like coach to keep them on the straight and narrow.

Coach Singletary was a great defensive player in his day for the Chicago Bears or "Monsters of the Midway". If he can instill the knowledge to his defense and create and terrifying defense that resembles the great Chicago Bears defenses of the'80s - the 49ers will be a contender for years.

For this to happen, additional playmakers on the offense might be needed, but what team in the NFL can't use more offensive weapons? At least they have Crabtree in the works. He can be the big time player they need out wide. - 31493
