week 1 -- ---- ---week 19 big difference in how we are playing. No team recently has shut down our pass game, the only one to shut it down is MM when we go into conservative sleep mode. Even is the loss to Minn a couple weeks ago, Arod threw for 365 yds and 3 TD's....IN A LOSS.....
We are a different team for the better ------- SF is a different team for the worse (slightly).
No matter what their fans say, they only have 2 really legit wins over good teams this season ( packers in week 1, and New england week 15) Other than that they have beaten teams like: Lions, Buffalo, Jets, Miami, arizona twice, Bears(2nd half season bears that is). And for a team like the Rams to be able to tie them once and beat them once and for the sea cawks to utterly b*tch slap them, the Giants slapped them silly at home and Minn beat them......Im not scared of this 49ers team.
These kinds of posts always crack me up. You see them every single year.
"That team really sucks because they didn't beat anyone and the only reason they won the few good team is because X".
Its all BS.
First off, they did lose to Seattle....but they also BEAT Seattle. Divisional Rival (They play twice). Peeps LOVE to bring up the Rams games. LOL. Its a game of matchups people. The Rams are CONSTRUCTED to win in the NFC West. The Seahawks were 1 and 1 against them as well. What do the Rams do to win against SF? Good Defense. Strong Pass rush. Big, Bruising RB who gets ALOT of his yards after contact (see also Peterson, Adrian and Lynch, Marshawn).
I'm sure I could "break down" the Packers schedule and find out what I wanted to find out...the Packers really suck because they didn't beat anyone!!". I'm not gonna do that because it's equally ludicrous.
The only think I agree with is that these teams are FAR different than they were in week 1. Only you guys can tell me if the Packers are different for the better. I would submit tho that the Niners have ALSO improved. What specifically? Colin Kaepernick.
He is the one element this team was missing to being strong in almost every category (until Akers forgot how to kick straight). The only thing they couldn't do was creat chunk yards on offense. The deep game was missing. Not so much anymore with Kaep. Not only does he throw deep, he's the second best player in the league at throwing deep accordinf to PFF (Pro Football Focus).
I'm not gonna sit here and guarantee a win or anything, but seeing a fan of another team break down an opponent always kinda makes me laugh.
