Wow, did not see that coming.  I still think Seattle is #1 and should be considered the favorites with their having the games at home.  I am fine with us being anywhere 2-4 along with SF and Denver.  I think you can put those three in any order.

 

Even so, it sure as hell does feel good to see.

Rewind your mind back to a few moths ago.  We were 1-3 and bandwagon fans were leaving in droves like rats jumping from a sinking ship.  Even the diehards questioned the future of this team.

 

Fast forward to today.  A much maligned media outlet, and probably a few more to come, have us at numero uno.  They all have us close to the top, yet we still have so much room to grow.   

 

Who knew this storm of a team was brewing?  The vast majority had given up hope.  I ask you again, who knew?  I'll tell you who.  Fifty-six men on the field and their coaches.  They believed, and so should you.

 

You know the two words that come next, but I don't feel worthy of uttering them because I too had doubted this team, so I'll just say Merry Christmas instead.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
