While those are good points, they just are NOT overrated. They have one of the best front 7s in football. That just cannot be denied in my opinion.

Our offense is pretty good too.

Anyway, I'll believe the 9ers when I see it.

I think 49ers get 8-10 wins this year, which is good. I don't think they're a Super Bowl contender like the Packers and Giants.

Well, I hope I'm wrong. I'd love to see the Niners fold this year as frankly, Niner fans have been more annoying than even Cow fans recently. And you all know how much I hate Cow fans.

Willis may be the best MLB in the NFL. Bowman and Smith were also both All Pros, and they had 2 guys who also added 6 INTs each.

Now, their weakness - Alex Smith isn't that good. He got sacked 44 times (as opposed to the Niners sacking opponents 42 times) and it's not just because their OL isn't good. It's because Smith over thinks and has a slow release. IF our D can generate pressure, we'll topple the Niners badly.

The other thing, the Niners can be torched by solid 3rd and 4th WRs. This is why I think 🇲🇲 will call a lot of 4 WR sets. It's possible to hit Jones and Driver for first downs all day long.

Note that 🇲🇲 was stressing fast releases and had that clock that forced our QBs to get rid of the ball faster. I'm guessing that that was specifically for teams like the Niners and the Giants, both of whom we may face in the Playoffs.

I would love to see a Packers blowout. I know there are a few more people on this board who live in the SF area. I'm sure they can attest to how annoying Niner fans have become. I'd love to make them 😠 Sunday night at the bars.

I, too, think the 49'er's are a bit over rated. That's not to say they aren't good, but just as was the case with the Packer's last season, the record makes them look better than they really were. The addition of Moss doesn't change anything for me. If he was capable of making a substantial impact, he wouldn't have been out of work to begin with. Their defense is legit, which is why I say they are good. However, their offense doesn't scare me and I think teams such as the Saints, Patriots, Giants, Steeler's, Ravens, Packers, Texans, and possibly even the Falcons, Panthers, Bears, and MAYBE the Lions are better. I expect the Seahawks to push them hard this season as well, but that depends on them getting QB play at least to the level of Alex Smith.

As I said, I think they are good, not great. To be fair, though, they should have won the NFC Championship game. I'm still not a believer in Alex Smith, Crabtree, Moss, and approaching the same for Gore, at this point. The guy has been ran into the ground and if they stray from the run first approach even a little, I think it will hurt them overall. Manningham is an OK 3rd receiver, but nothing amazing. As others have said, 10 wins sounds reasonable, especially considering the borderline pathetic division they are in. But I do not expect them to be competing for a Super Bowl. They were over achievers last season, and I expect them to come back down to earth this season. At this point, I stand by my opinion, even if they beat the Packer's week one. All I'm worried about is the Packer's getting hot at the right time and making the playoffs. Honestly, I'm not so sure I care if they even have home field advantage throughout. Going to a dome might very well benefit the Packer's offense in several ways, although perhaps I'm very wrong.
