PFT has the Niners at 12

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/04/week-four-power-rankings-2/

Ross Tucker on his ESPN Football Today Podcast put the Niners at 20, citing that he still doesn't trust the QB or the O-Line and thinks the Niners are 3-1 due to smoke and mirrors and aren't as good as their record shows.

"Smoke and Mirrors"? That's an analyst just not doing his homework and going off preseason notes.... What a lazy turd.

This is from Brian Billick someone who is at least knowledgable about the game. I would like to see us a few spots higher, but I can't really argue with him.

Actually, you haven't done your research. Ross Tucker did the national radio for the Niners/Bengals game and he does a weekly segment on 95.7 The Game in the Bay Area to talk about the Niners and Raiders, so I am sure he has done some research. I don't agree with him 100%, but he is familiar with this team.

"Smoke and Mirrors" is a cliche, and just a way to say, "I don't like them, but I don't have a reason why". It doesn't point out anything - and, just an overused line. I didn't need to do any research to point out that this cliche is an appeal to ridicule and isn't respectable. Weather he did he homework or not is unknown, but he didn't apply it if he did... which makes him a lazy turd.

But I did find out that he is actually NOT a physical TURD. For that I am in the wrong.

We are always the lowest of the teams with the same record and always have a few teams with lesser records above us.

Heck, the Titans haven't really beaten anyone. Ya they beat the Ravens but that was on a horrible game by Flacco. They even lost to the Jags.

That's a diss. We're not ranked with the 3-1 teams. There are three 2-2 teams ranked higher than we are.

That's motivational material for Harbaugh and the gang. If we beat Tampa, we still won't get any respect.

But if we knock off the undefeated Lions in their house? Then the East Coast bias will finally begin to take notice...

Yeah, and we just beat a "bad 1-3 team."

Cincy was a terrible team when the 9ers beat them now they seem to have become decent in just a week.

Looks like everyone has us in the middle of the pack. Still flying under the radar a bit. Let's see if we can keep proving it.
