NFL may rank us at #2, but ESPN for sure will rank us at #3 or #4

Every single person who has clicked and commented on this thread cares about the power rankings...a lot. Don't be a hipster.

Merrell Hodge just said we look good because we are in the NFC West and we are a quarter short of beating elite teams. Antonio Pierce was quick to point out we have only played one divisional team. People should look at our schedule before calling our 6-1 record a product of the NFC West division.

Dude needs to look at the schedule, but I always thought Hodge the so called "factor back" was a stooge.

ESPN's Merril Hoge rolled his eyes when Antonio Pierce suggested the 49ers would finish 12-4 and earn the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Hoge said he thought the 49ers would come up short against elite teams, including the Saints. He pointed to the weak NFC West. "I'm sorry, Merril," Pierce said. "I'm going to have to cut you off. They have only beaten one team in their division. The other five wins, outside their division. Tampa Bay, Detroit. They've played some good teams and put a smacking on them." I'm inclined to rank the 49ers second behind Green Bay this week. Would they beat the Steelers the way Ben Roethlisberger is playing right now? Would they have beaten New England, as the Steelers did Sunday? I'm not sure, but they're 6-1 overall, 3-0 on the road and own multiple victories over winning teams, including Detroit, Tampa Bay and Cincinnati.

Hoge is another idiot talking head who stats his opinion like its fact and doesn't even bother to do the research to back up what he says.

he's a douche. He and Keyshawn got into it on sunday morning over needing a breather after a long play. According to him, he never needed a breather and anyone that ever taps their helmet, is a puss.

Did Hoge ever have a long play? I honestly do not remember him playing at all.

I'm getting sick of these blowhards pointing to the NFC West when it comes to our record. Hello, hello, anyone home? Think, McFly, think! We've only played one NFC West team, and that was the first game of the season! The fact is, we've beaten every hyped up power house that's come our way.

Finally a writer at ESPN gets it. We have earned that number 2 ranking and been more consistent than the high powered teams.

It's like the Alex Smith thread I want to avoid it, but if that's all everyone else is talking about

If you genuinely don't care, it really shouldn't be that hard. It's quite simple.

The Patriots defense has been horrible this year. I don't think that team deserves to be in the top 5.
