49ers fans are a confident bunch these days. Why shouldn’t they be? The team has scored 30 points in three consecutive weeks with a feeling of still not fully firing on all cylinders. The concerns about Brock Purdy’s elbow have faded with his performance to open the season. The defense looks every bit like the defense from last season. Lastly, the regime of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch are here to stay for the foreseeable future.
As confident as the fans are, realistically, the team isn’t going to go undefeated. We asked the readers what week they believed the 49ers would drop their first game, and we presented six options: Week 5 against Dallas, Week 6 against Cleveland, Week 7 against Minnesota, Week 8 against Cincinnati, Weeks 9-13, or Week 13 against Philadelphia.
