I strongly believe that the 49ers are the only team that can beat the patriots.
if you don't think we'll make it to the sb then how are we the best team?
As it stands, and as the record shows, the 49ers are a top five team...HOWEVER, they still have much to prove.
The missed field goals and botched scoring opportunities due to offensive red zone turnovers (or by way of failing to capitalize on points after a defensive turnover creates great field position) HAVE to improve.
You can hit on every opportunity but the Niners have squandered several in these first five games. Luckily they haven't cost them a game but they definitely will against the likes of a Drew Brees-led Saints team, the Pats, hell, even a team like Carolina.
The beauty of it is...is that we haven't even seen them play their best most complete football and here they are. But they'll need to do better in those areas if they're going to keep it going and make a meaningful run.
Just my two cents.
