Feel the same way. Season isn't over yet. The 49ers could still tank. So could some other teams. The 49ers could still win the division. It would take a major collapse from the AZ Cardinals, but just look at what has happened to the Rams.

There is no dominant team this year. The team that gets hot at the end is going to take home a trophy. Let's just hope and pray it's our SF 49ers.

Get a shot at the champs.

JG vs TB

Sherm probably injured doing his Sherm face on the sideline when we win late.

This one has all the story lines.

Ha! Was just about to say this very thing. No way of rally knowing how strong the team is without playing the best.

baltimore, Buffalo, Tennessee and the chiefs all have terrible losses on their resumes in the afc

cards, greenbay, Dallas and Tampa do as well.

this years playoffs will be about momentum, not roster dominance.

Absolutely this, it's also as much of an indication of why we should be taken seriously, as it is an acknowledgement that it may still all go up the spout.

We don't stand a chance against Murray (mobile QB) and those receivers. Our best bet would be that someone else takes Zona out for us. I'd rather play TB or Dallas.

GB at Lambeau in January = automatic loss for us.

Yeah, I'd dread playing in Lambeau.

Just make the playoffs and then whomever we end up playing so be it. I don't see any easy matchup (though Tampa would probably be the most difficult).

Cowboys 1st preference, cards 2nd. After their mnf loss, we are currently slotted to play Arizona.

Go on a NYG-type, out-of-nowhere, wild card to SB 🏆run…

I tend to think GB would be most beatable. How we match up with Dallas worries me. Dak is in a rocky patch, and I don't trust their coaching, but Dak is, imo, a top QB in this league for years to come, and we don't have the secondary to match up with their weapons. Their DL, especially Parsons, should feast as well...imagine Parsons lined up against who ever we got at RT. Would take a monster game from Bosa to win me thinks.
