| 0:00.0 | Everything might not be perfect, but things are a heck of a lot better in 49er land than they were a week ago. |
| 0:06.1 | Every team in the NFC West is two and two, but the 49ers are atop the heap with a two andand-o record within the division. |
| 0:13.2 | The 49ers had those two victories over the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams. |
| 0:18.1 | But their two losses were to the lowly Chicago Bears in the Denver Broncos. Now it's back on the road to face one of the |
| 0:25.2 | worst teams in football, the Carolina Panthers. Hopes are high after the decisive win over the Rams. Now the 49ers can ill afford to give it back with another |
| 0:34.2 | sub-par performance against a bad team. I will discuss the 49ers after four games |
| 0:39.5 | with Jennifer Lee Chan and Greg Papa coming up right now on 49ers talk. |
| 0:45.0 | Welcome to another edition of 49ers talk on NBC Sports Bay Area. |
| 0:51.0 | Introducing your host, Matt Mayoko. |
| 0:55.0 | Yes, this is 49ers talk brought to you by Bigotires. I'm Matt Mayoko joined by Jennifer Lee Chan and Jennifer are you packed are you ready for this what is a 10 day road trip that we're about to experience? |
| 1:09.0 | Absolutely not I'm one of those wait till the very last minute pack right before I get on the airplane kind of persons. |
| 1:15.0 | I'm going to pack for three and a half days and then maybe do a load of laundry or maybe even two loads of laundry during the course of this trip. |
| 1:24.4 | So only one bag, I'm going to treat this like a three or four day trip. |
| 1:28.4 | And just put yourself on repeat? |
| 1:30.9 | Yes, absolutely. |
| 1:32.0 | So if you see me wearing the same clothes, don't go the other way. It'll, a decent chance that they'll be clean clothes. But no promises. |
| 1:41.0 | That's kind of questionable, but okay. Okay. Well, speaking of things that are questionable, hey the 49ers are back in at people writing them off, you know, we were bemoaning how horrible that offense looked and the team looked against the Denver |
| 1:56.7 | Broncos but it's funny how the LA Rams come to town 49ers play some very good football and now here they are 13 games left in the season every team in the |
| 2:06.4 | NFC West is on equal footing except for of course the 49ers have the two division wins no losses, which is more than those other three teams can say, and it's off on the road. I just think it's this a crucial stretch for the 49ers because when you look at it the two games and certainly the week |
| 2:26.4 | one game against Chicago they should win those games but they didn't and here's another game coming up against an opponent. They should beat, but in today's |
| 2:37.1 | NFL, you just can't take anything for granted. |
| 2:39.7 | You know, and you think it'd be more or less applicable in the NFL than it is in college. |
