Don’t laugh: 49ers in race in NFC West

Although the San Francisco 49ers are less than spectacular this year, there is still a chance that they can win the NFC West.  The 49ers, who are currently on a six-game losing streak, have recently held a press conference in which Head Coach Mike Nolan has discussed the possibility of winning the West.  Despite an offense that has displayed remarkably little scoring punch, the 49ers go into tonight’s game in Seattle just two games behind the Seahawks, who lead the division with a .500 record (4-4). 

Due to the inconsistency of the division and the conference as a whole, I would say that if they can get it together for a couple of weeks and compile a 8-8 record, they can win the West.  The four NFC West teams have combined for 11 wins - six against division opponents."We’ll see how it plays out over the rest of the season, but at the halfway point, you look at the record, and it’s going to be graded as a weaker division," 49ers linebacker Derek Smith   Certainly they have a chance, especially tonight with a weakened Seahawks team- if there was a time for the Niners to wake up and play better, now would be perfect.
