[QUOTE="Texas9erFan, post: 399271, member: 5576"] [B]Good thread, great read![/B] It's just the kind of talk I've been looking for around the NFL's message boards. This is my second post here. Check the "Introductions" forum for my hello. I was kinda suprised who Packer fans considered to be their toughest playoff competition... The Eagles! [I]Really?![/I] They've played one good game living up to their "dream team" potential... so far. I want to see more from them before I start "fearing" them. The ONLY team I have any fear of is the Packers. I'd like to make a case for my Niners being the REAL contender in the NFL besides the Pack. And respond to some of your posts at the same time. I'm a huge believer in the way the Niners are playing as a TEAM this year. The defense and special teams are playing exceptional. And the D & ST are what I would say will give us a winning edge against all the high powered passing teams like GB, NO, NY plus NE and PITT in the AFC. Our offense does depend heavily on the run and play action. It's not a pretty style of ball but it is extremely [B]efficient[/B] and effective. [I]I would compare the Niner offense to a baseball team that bunts and steals bases to get the win rather than depend on the long ball to drive in runs.[/I] Did you know that Jim Harbaugh's favorite hobby is [B][I]walking on water???[/I][/B] :laugh: But seriously, defense wins championships. Although the Niners don't have the kind of offense to blow out opponents (though we did manage a big win against the Bucs!) It's the defense that keeps the team in the game by keeping our opponents score low. The special teams have been phenominal at giving the offense a short field. And it's the Niners offensive short game that chews up the clock giving the other offense less time to score. Actually, up to this point in the season, the Niners have had the toughest schedule of any team with less than 2 losses. The Packers have actually had one of the easiest. The remainder of our season however is easier. We've got 5 more games within our division that we [B][I]should[/I][/B] win. The rest are @'Skins, Giants, @Ravens and Steelers. If we drop any more than 3 games, It'll be extremely disappointing. Maybe, maybe, MAYBE they drop two more. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that home field will not be an advantage in a game between the Pack and Niners. If the game is at Lambeau, in the snow, the Niners will have an advantage with their running and short pass game. If the game is at the 'Stick, the Packers will have the advantage as a long passing game is easier in a warmer climate. Of course that's just a theory I have so... ??? Clinching too early is something I never thought about! I figure that'll happen in either week 11 or 12. Here's where I have to be delicate. I don't want to talk smack here.

Their special teams is among the best in the league... if not the best, and their offense, while not flashy, has proven itself the [B]most efficient[/B] offense in the league. [/QUOTE]
