The #49ers are the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive road games (including playoffs) against 12-plus win teams, per @EliasSports. A win Sunday against the Rams would make it four straight.

This is what happens when suddenly about half way thru season, it becomes apparent that we have not 4 just starters on DL but 8, maybe 9. Several may be rotational DLs but they stlll are starters, and as we saw when Nick was out for last half of one game with concussion, the remaining guys just kept bringing the heat.

It isn't just the best DL in the league, it's the deepest. And when you see fresh guys in there, by halftime the opposing OLs start slowing down, running out of gas. Our DL looks like it is still first qtr.,,and THAT is a massive advantage. Yes, with Arik moving inside , Ebuk's speed on the outside, Key's brute strength up the middle, DJJones essential all pro season, Omenihu coming thru, Givens, Street, Hurst….and on top of that , Nick…it should be no surprise that our DL is best in the league.

kudos to Coach K and of course , Demeco, also…because our guys are incredibly well coached. This is exactly why Kyle/JL have been drafting DLs high most every yr….and Kinlaw isn't even on the field. Rams, DAL, and GB all have found out what a world class DL means at playoff time.

Top that off with Fred, Dre, and Azeez, and you have the best front 7 anywhere, hands down.

STs, a problem a good part of the yr, suddenly win the game for us in Tundra land GB , where our D kept AR to 1 completion in 2nd half. Our QB's torn thumb ligament + chip bone fracture + sprained shoulder has hurt our O, but Deebo, Elijah, Kittle, au Jus, Aiyuk, Jauan, and #71 have made up for JG's injuries.

As we saw in GB we have 22 guys working as a unit, O, D, and STs, are all working together….as 1 unit…and that is how for the first time ever, we won 3 consecutive road games against 12-5 teams in end of season//playoffs

Personally, I think the 49ers are peaking at the right time. Now spécial teams are moving up too. I think there is still room for improvement. Huf, Lenoir, Ambry, Michell, are still rookies and the extra games serve as next season of improvement if you pretend the playoff games are like next years games.

I think the DLine can get better. I think Aiyuk and Jennings can get better. The rest of the veterans are a bit banged up, but relatively healthy. I think Trent Williams is the only real concern. I haven't heard of Jimmy's thumb getting worse. Also as Trey gets more and more practice reps, he'll also get better should he need to step in either in this game or the next.

Kyle has never taken a snap in the NFL either…

I still like Mina Kimes regardless if she's right or wrong on this take...it's a hot take show and it's always suppose to be edgy. For the most part Mina has been super pro 49ers this yr, even as a Seattle fan.

The whole never taken a snap thing is a bit childish too. We've listen to a TON of stupid takes from former players all the same.

Most of us haven't thrown a TD pass or taken a snap. Certainly not in the NFL. We still give our opinions. For most of us, our football careers probably never went beyond high school. Maybe a few made it to college. Even fewer played QB.

I don't watch hot garbage take shows. Who the hell is Mina Kimes? There is plenty of great 49er content by everyday folks on youtube. Hell, we have a great one right here on these boards. Why would a fan need anything else?

Me personally decided what position I wanted to play once I saw the playbook for offense compared to defense. Defense > Offense
