After week 1, maybe. The niners still need to prove they can beat a legit playoff team this season. Seattle DL and OL were unstoppable. Our DL and OL were getting pushed back most of the day. If Kaep wasn't mobile, he would have been sacked more often than none. As far as offense is concerned GB has a better offense than Dallas and Seattle pretty much shut them down. The next couple of games will tell, at least in my opinion.
What exactly do you need to be "told?" That the 49ers are the best team in football? Right now they are just trying to get by without two all pros on defense and will be getting back two pro bowlers on offense next week. This team will look much different in week 16 than in week 1,2,3 or 4.
Seattle is completely healthy, which is good for them, but again they won't have the same roster week 16. Hell, they probably look much different on thanksgiving.
Point being, comparing SF to Seattle right now isn't really valid. You just have to look at individual performances early on and make sure people improve from one week to the next.
