Win 2 in a row and ....

...you can call it a streak. Going into Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions the Niner's were looking to put together back to back wins.

The 49'ers came out with the new retrofitted offense cranking out points on all cylinders. Martz for now has the Niner's looking like the Niner's of old. I am not ready to crown JT the next Montana or Young but with the support of Gore and Bruce he looks like he is at best, like Jeff Garcia, the last QB to lead San Fran to the playoffs.

Last year was all about field goals. Ask Joe Nedney. It seems like he was on auto dial as a first option inside the red zone instead of the last option. In fact Martz made it clear that if the Niner's make it to the one and can't punch it in the end zone in 3 tries then the fourth one is for the offense not the special teams.

Martz who has been criticized in the past for being one dimensional mixed up the offense making it look as though Detroit's defense was grasping for straws.

Frank Gore had a terrific game running for 130 yards and a TD. JT O'Sullivan had another solid game completing 70% of his passes and throwing two TDs. Most of this work was put in during the first two quarters. By the end of the first half the Niner's built up a 21-3 lead.

The defense showed up this week. They limited Detroit to 240 total yards and intercepted Detroit on two different occasions. The defense only gave up 13 points but most of those points came late in the game. This was a far cry from the 30 points San Fran gave up to Seattle.

All in all this was a dominant performance by the Niner's. It seems as though they had the winner swagger, the dominant attitude that those winning teams have when they are in the midst of dare we say a winning season?

Now the bad news. The Niners are about to embark on the tough part of the schedule. In the next four weeks the Niners face New Orleans there, New England and Philly at home and then the NY Giants at home. These teams are arguably four of the top ten teams in the league. If the Niners win all four then I will guarantee a playoff spot but the reality is that they have a chance to win 2 out of the 4. If that does happen then I would still say the Niners have a chance for the playoffs but more importantly a chance at a winning season.
