Are the San Francisco 49ers overrated?

I'l say their pass rush is no joke.  They are deep at RB and George Kittle is one of the best athletes at the TE position and a BIG play machine.  We're going to have to score some points against them, like 30+ because they can score on us in an instant.  Our D is going to have just as tough of a job as our OL.

They are beatable, but who really knows how "good" they really are.  I HOPE that Ron and Co actually come out of a bye ready to go.  Would be a pleasant change!

They are a good team, and they are undefeated so you have to give them credit

 

 

 

But they are a little overrated

Their opponents have a combined record of 9-21

Their 3 road games have been Tampa week 1, Rams (same place Tampa put up 50+ points), Cincinnati 

 

Theyve had some big key injuries the last few weeks that will be out.

Both OTs are out, the probowl FB out

Also probowl TE Kittle has missed practice this week with a Groin (Same thing that has held Donte Jackson the last few weeks)

The NFC as a whole seems to lack a juggernaut. Every team that's in the mix seems mortal. Look at last week: Seattle was down most of the week against the Browns before coming back in the final minutes and have squeaked out wins against mediocre competition all year (including Cincy and a mostly Roethlisberger-less Pitt). Green Bay was just gifted another win at home against Detroit and their offense has seemed pedestrian even with Rodgers. New Orleans seems to be a consensus top 2 team but that offense isn't scaring you with Bridgewater, flanking their TB win with 2 wins scoring a combined 25 points against average defenses. If Brees comes back 100%, that team will be scary though.

At least with San Francisco, they have handily beaten every team on their schedule, including demolishing the Browns and Rams, 2 teams with high expectations and a lot of talent, the past 2 weeks. Their only close win was against Pittsburgh where they were -3 in turnover differential and had 5 turnovers in all, 3 of them in the redzone.

I wouldn't say San Francisco is overrated unless you consider them to be an unstoppable force, which I don't think is a prevailing opinion. They are appropriately viewed as a surprising elite team that can be beaten on any given week, hopefully starting with week 8.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
