Way to go Niners in epic fashion clinching the west with a shutout at home!! :tup:

 

I'm lovin it right now it's been a while since I had the feeling of a season with a good team to root for!! Welcome back Niners!! :lol:

 

Let's Go Niners!! :wacko:

 

Congrats, it gives some hope to fans of teams that have sucked for many years.

 

Clinching the divison this early is due to the rest of the teams sucking, but this isn't the Seahawks winning as an 8-8 team, the 49ers are a very good team and could challenge the other top teams in the NFC. If they played in the AFC they'd be the best team in the conference and a clear front runner for the SB.

I was at the game. As a Rams fan, I'm sad. It was pretty bad. The Rams had less than 150 yards total offense, I believe ?

 

That being said, despite despising the Niners, I'm happy for 'em this year. I hope they do the NFC West proud.

The Rams could be a similar suprprise story next year. Folks may expect nothing out of them but they will have an infusion of talent through drafting high and through a return of injured players. I do wonder, however, if Steven Jackson is completely used up. that would be a bit of a set back. Maybe they can get Forte, who knows.

This depends entirely on Stan Kroenke, the owner. If he allows the current regime to remain in place, then it won't matter how many draft picks we get or how high they are, they WILL be wasted, just as nearly all of our high picks have on their watch. Aside from Bradford (who has regressed this year and may not be the guy we thought he was) their draft choices over the past 5-7 years have been abysmal. Bust after bust after bust.

 

The difference with the Niners was that they were poorly coached but had good young talent. The Rams are old and almost devoid of NFL-caliber talent. This will not turn around quickly.

 

And Steven Jackson should sue the Rams for wasting his potential Hall-of-Fame type skills for nearly a decade.

 

Time to step up, Stan.

Who Steelers both time they played them, what's your point?

 

My point is right now there is no clear cut top team in the AFC.

 

Patriots - plenty of O but no D

Texans - doing well but have a major hole at QB, and now AJ is banged up again

Ravens - beat Steelers twice, but follow that with bad losses

Steelers - lose twice to Ravens, but look good otherwise

AFC West - nobody there is going anywhere

Stan probably has plans to install a wonderful regime... once the team moves to LA or London. :wacko:

Someone implied that the Niners would be the odds on favorite if they were in the AFC. I don't see any evidence of that. The only time they played an elite AFC team, they were beat pretty handily. The score was 16-6, but, they never came close to winning that game. The Niners are a good team with a phenomenal defense, but, the Patriots, Texans, Ravens & Steelers are all capable of playing very good football. It's not like the NFC is much better than the AFC, they just happen to have one team that is better than everyone right now.

Fixed. In my opinion, they have yet to beat an elite team. What is the best team they've beaten? Detroit? NYG? Cincy? The Bengals are the only ones that would even make the playoffs today.

Yeah that someone was me, and you responded to me.

 

Packers are way better than anybody else right now. And I feel the Saints are better than any of the AFC teams. My point was really that nobody is a clear front runner in the AFC, they're all tripping over each other.

 

Sorry, I'm a Browns fan so almost any statement you make will get a knee jerk negative reaction from me. Although the Cowboyz1 simulated post on the Cowboys loss was pretty damn funny.

No problem. I would agree that no one has stepped up as the clear favorite in the AFC. Right now, I think the 4 most capable of winning it, in no particular order are Ravens, Pats, Steelers & Texans (although, that would be quite a story with what they've had to overcome) However, if recent history has taught us anything, don't count out anyone that gets into the show. If you make the playoffs and get hot, you can end up holding the Lombardi trophy.
