Will the 49ers Make the Playoffs?

Okay, so obviously the 49ers had an impressive victory against the Cardinals on Monday night (24-9), in a game where Arizona was hoping to clinch the NFC West (not so fast AZ!). The Niners were playing like they want to (and intend to) stay in the playoff race, as they forced seven turnovers (whoa!), while quarterback, Alex Smith, was able to connect with Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree in the end zone area. Let’s not forget to mention they beat an incredible team—a team who handed the Vikings (who have clinched the playoffs) their second loss of the season last week.

Yeah, yeah, they beat the Cardinals, but what about the playoffs? While a trip to the playoffs is not impossible, it’s going to be a treacherous journey for the Niners, and they’ll have to weather a few storms to get to their desired destination (the first storm being the Eagles on Sunday). On the flip side, they have to hope certain other teams get blown away (like the Cardinals)!

If you thought the Niners would definitively get shunned from the playoffs…think again! They are still fishing in the playoff pond, and are hoping to catch a big one on Sunday!
