the way the Packers defense can create turnovers is pretty elite but they give up a ton of yards between the 20s Patriots D has also faced the shittiest QBs imaginable as well haha
Football outsiders DVOA, which adjusts for opponent has the 49ers pass D as the best in the nfl(sans tn which will drop them a bit) at -66%, Pat's 2nd at -58.4%, GB 8th at... -4.5%
if Gurley is healthy they are one of the best teams in the NFC. but yeah it'll be a fight between LA and SF for second place in the West - that week 15 (?) game will be huge. The Niners schedule gets considerable tougher starting next Monday and I'm excited to see how well they do - they have the Seahawks twice Packers Ravens Saints and Rams (with gimme wins against Atlanta and Arizona)
Yeah having the 49ers at second place in the NFC West is something I can’t get behind they’re gonna win that division
He said that about the Rams. Said the Niners would be second. But im sorry the 49ers are just a much more complete team than the Seahawks. Could I see the Seahawks beating them head to head, absolutely. They could outplay the hell out of Seattle and Russell Wilson could still throw bombs to Metcalf and win that way cause that’s what he fucking does. But the Niners are def gonna continue to do better around the league.
If you scroll up, he said 49ers in third but regardless, I agree with you that they’ll continue to be great this season. I see them winning the division and Seahawks being a wild card. Maybe we’ll get to play them again this season in the wild card round like last year and hopefully repeat it!
Seahawks have just as tough schedule down the stretch as the Niners do. Could easily see them losing quite a few games and having to fight for the Wild Card. The team relies so heavily on Wilson to win, they are nowhere as complete of a team as SF is.
