Anyone else excited for Sunday? I can honestly say this is probably the most excited that I've been all year for a game. Why? I want to see what Barkley has to offer and if he has a legitimate shot of coming in next year and competing for a chance to be our QB. I want to see how Cameron Meredith responds after a tough game last week. I've been a huge Meredith supporter since about halfway through last season and last week was really the first bad game he's had. I want to see how many yards Jordan Howard can rack up against a weak run D. I fully expect SF to stack the box and force Barkley to bear them. If they do how will his affect Howard? I f they do how much command of he Offense does Barkley have and can he take advantage? I want to see Floyd back on the field and putting Caperdick on his ass. I want to see how Bush does in his 3rd start because his first two were vey rough as he was very late reacting to plays and often out of position. But most of all I want to see how this team comes together and plays with pride after a tough game last week. I have a feeling they are going to put the pedal to the medal and pull off a convincing win.

I was pretty damn excited last week too. Any week Jay Cutler isn't playing quarterback, I'm excited about watching dabears. When Cutler's in, it's just a reminder of (hopefully) bygone days. Barkley will probably suck, but at least we're not tied to his car for the next 5 years while it tears down that old gravel road.
I have a different perspective than the both of you, so I am more anxious than excited. I would like to see a loss this weekend, but a win is definitely a possibility..... maybe even a probability so I am anxious about the game and like I've said before.... I am really tired of being in this position.
I love the team and want to root for them to win, not to lose, but the real prize is the SB and to do that, you need to get better. Losing will help us do that. And so the conflicted feelings. Just want the team to be competitive so that everyone on this site is on the same page and wanting wins.

I am excited about watching individual young players these last 5 games. No question. But the season is dead. The team is going nowhere in the post-season this year. Again. Just another crapfest year. But truthfully, I am very excited to see the foundation players of our future successful seasons, play this year. I'll be watching them tomorrow. I'm looking forward to that (I love to watch Whitehair play this year in particular... love watching the big uglies play).
Our last 3 first round picks will most likely be out. Meaning no real development from them. Goldman may do good. We have nobodies playing ILB again, Barkley is our QB, missing Long with a chance of Sitton being out, bad half time adjustments.
The only thing worth being excited about is Howard imo but I have a feeling we'll abandon the run early again.
I just hope we lose this game. This is the game we must lose to get that #2 pick.
Anyone know if Floyd will play? I wanna see more of that guy, he needs to put more consistent pressure on the QB
Floyd has come on nicely. Great to see what Vic has been able to do with a raw guy with talent. Imagine what he could be like with more bulk so that opponents don;t keep breaking him.
