I'm really not seeing it.

In fact, I'll take the opposite point of view. I don't think the Packers or Saints are built to beat a team like the 49ers in the playoffs.

In January, throwing the ball 50 times with a sieve of a defense will not win you games. Controlling the trenches on both sides of the ball and winning the turnover battle is what wins games.

The Packers and Saints will be fighting an upfield battle should they visit San Francisco in January.

1 word: domes. (at least guaranteed for the super bowl)

I think he does that just to get certain players recognition... likewise I can't see how Kam Chancellor is on that list over Ed Reed or even Earl Thomas.

Who is saying that? The Niners are probably the team best built with the way they are playing now for the playoffs.

Dips**ts like Rodney Harris and the rest of the NFL Network. Apparently, the Packers and Saints will score everytime they touch the ball.

1. There is NO way the Patriots make the Superbowl let alone WIN the Superbowl with that defense.
2. The Saints have been AWFUL on the road the last couple seasons, NO way they beat us in SF in December.
3. To be honest with you, we might have the DEEPEST team in the NFC, yupp the Packers will score, but our defense and run game is MUCH better right now.
4. Aldon Smith will get more recognition throughout the year for DROY, seems like every game he is getting more and more p.t..

People will recognize him after he registers a couple of sacks this week and wins rookie of the week again, he will own Ben Hamburger on MNF in front of America!!!!

That's just stupid right there, anybody who watches niner games knows that Willis has been covering TEs much more this year then previous seasons. His coverages have shut down opposing TEs.

I like Bowman but he's not at Willis level just yet.

This, Bowman is playing out of his mind but he is running free cause of Willis, and even then i still think Willis is making more plays then Bowman is, he doesn't see that cause he doesn't watch us, just like the rest of the Football world.

I don't think anybody, including Peter King, is admitting that. They, like most, don't look at tape. They see the stats. And Bowman is among the NFC leaders in tackles.

Plus he is giving national cred to a guy who will need it to earn his first Pro Bowl.

He's not even close...this is a situation somewhat similar to VD under Nolan...because we are asking Willis to cover TEs his stats are suffering. When have you ever seen Bowman in coverage this year?

Bowman gets free reigns while Willis does the stuff that won't show up in the stat sheet.

I love Bowman and he's playing phenomenal football but he's no Patrick Willis.

People here are getting a little too cocky. No problem with being optimistic but saying there is no way that the Saints can beat us is ignorant.

You know you are talking about 2 teams who HAVE won in jan and Feb? I would agree with you if you are talking about them facing SF during these months.
