I will say this right now, no homerism either. Just serious opinion based off of where the 49ers are at 5-1.
If the 49ers had to play a game this weekend at Candlestick, I don't think there is any club in the NFL that could beat them. Not even Rodgers or Brady.
On the road...it's still very close. At home though, I don't think it would be a problem.
Don't think it would be a problem? You mean like we'd blow them out?
The energy at Candlestick for that Buccaneers game was off the charts. Not since the second half of the Niners-Giants Wild Card game had I heard it that loud. If those are the kinds of crowds the 49ers can draw at home, especially come playoff time.....sky is the limit.
I'll give you that we can beat the Packers or Patriots at home, but I don't know about "it's no problem."
Well if they* win then it wasn't a problem, lol
One more note on that home field advantage....it's pretty clear this roster believes in Alex. They are probably pretty damn well aware of his accuracy issues but so far he has gotten the job done as a winner and a leader. I think at this juncture, they're looking past Alex's weaknesses and would play their hearts out for him when it meant the most.
A game against the hated Packers...against Aaron Rodgers...after this whole opera about who should have been picked #1....after watching Rodgers get his last season...after watching and hearing about Smith getting roasted in the media.
I think that would make for a very special game for this 49ers roster, who f**king believe in Alex more than anything else. These guys would play like possessed animals against Green Bay in a playoff game regardless of location. For Alex, for Jim, for each other.
