I've been watching since the late 80's and I can't remember us having a defense this dominate.
How many sacks has Aldon Smith had erased due to penalties? I can think of about 4 just off the top of my head.

This has to be one of the best defenses we have ever had.

Umm some of the early 80' s/late 80' s defenses and the 97 defense might rival this current defense.

I guess the offenses from those eras would overshadow any good defense we had then. This defense is just so dominate week in and week out. Its hard to think of any defense in years past being this good.

I'm usually not into "this is the BEST blah blah blah ever" talk because it's usually not true, and only based on people not remembering how good teams/players/achievements were in the past.
But the numbers don't lie.
When you're the first team in 90 years to not allow a rushing TD through 14 games, YOUR DEFENSE IS ONE OF THE BEST EVER.
No other team has allowed fewer than 6 this year. That's freaking awesome.
But the numbers don't lie.

Honestly, I'm the same way. I don't like "best ever" sayings but as I was watching this game and all year long really, I'm thinking about years past and how dominate this defense is against defenses of years past. I just can't remember seeing a 9er defense this awesome in my close to 20 years of watching 49er football.

This is one of the best defenses in NFL history.
