in some ways, yes, because no one expected us to be this good this soon this season.

but we have a very talented team. talent hasn't been the problem on this team for a couple of years now.

Our talent? We've always had as much talent as all the "elite" teams. We just never put it together.

This is an elite roster. There are 4-5 Pro Bowl players on each side of the ball.

Maybe by a game. Footballoutsiders says that we should have 6.8 wins based on our performance and our opposition's performance. Most teams are pretty close to their estimated wins.

New England and the New York Jets have 1 less win than projected, but FO may change their formula for 2012 because they keep ranking the Jets at the top of the league.

The only teams underperforming at a statistically meaningful level are Philly, Miami, Minnesota, and Carolina:

- Miami should have 2.9 more wins than they do
- Philly should have 2.3 more wins than they do
- Minnesota should have 2.2 more wins than they do
- Carolina should have 2 more wins than they do

After today's blowout of the Bills, Miami should be 6-4 instead of 3-7. They look like a 6-4 team if you ask me. It's also interesting to note that the Rams are as bad as their record.

This team will get better each and every year.
We are becoming a deadly team to face for years to come
Slowly but surely

I disagree with this statement. We have good players but 4-5 probowlers on each side of the ball is a bit overreaching imo.

I dont think so, we have tons of talent.

Pro Bowl like players include.

Gore
Vernon
Iupati
Goodwin
J.Smith
McDonald
Willis
Bowman
Brooks
Aldon
Rogers
Goldson
Whitner
Jennings
Lee
Akers
Ginn (as a Returner)

Plus others playing at high levels


Delanie
Miller
Hunter
A.Davis
Culliver
Sopoaga
Crabtree
Costanzo

I literally believe we have 46 players who suit up each week, and all play besides Kaepernick, and we are a complete team, Offense, Defense and Special Teams.

Can't help but think you're missing a name or 2.

No. We are underachieving. We should have 3 TDs in todays game. We leave points out there every week. We need to step up.
Nov 20, 2011 at 2:45 PM
just looking at todays game


yes

Good teams should have a sufficient lead right now over these cards. We come out and do that this 2nd half, it will be a step forward
