Must put Justin Smith as a surprise this year. I know people have been saying he hustle and give all on every play. But this year, that dude was just another whole new animal all together. Not sure that he did anything different from other years that he was with us. Maybe it's because of the other talent around him or team play of the defense. But he seems to have more big plays and more critical game winning plays on defense for us this year.

Yup.
I didn't think coaching was that important at this level. Evidently, it is.

Biggest surprise was Alex's success in his 7th offense in as many seasons. If he can expound on what he did last year, we might just have ourselves a QB for a decade or so...

Aldon being a beast when everyone hated on the pick during the draft. i kinda figured Alex would be legit with an actual nfl coach

I think the biggest surprise was going 14-4 and hosting the NFC Championship even though our passing offense was ranked 29th in the league.

We very nearly reached the Superbowl despite a passing offense that was mediocre all season.
