49ers are getting too much love (including me) based on 6 quarters of good play. Up until the second half of the Eagles game the 49ers hadn't looked very good. We'll find out if the last 6 quarters mean the o-line is finally jelling this week.

When will the Lions make the Super Bowl?

Fairley Suh'n.

The 49ers ain't gonna find any jelly in the jar this week.

I don't know for sure, but if I had to Pickett, I'd pick GB to Wynn! (not nearly as good, but can I get an A for effort?)

You must have been in the silverdome for the game, Ford field whatever, a team that's lost like crazy for over a decade isn't suddenly going to make the superbowl. It will take a few years, nothing will be suh'n. There's not vet base there. Everyone is young or new to the team. I'm happy that downtrodden fan base gets to feel good, but this is a one and done playoff team at best. Stop believing the ESPN garbage hype. This team is good, but comes back to earth once they play someone who doesnt suck. Gb and nola crush them in the regular season, and they get punched out in the wildcard round at best. Stop jocking them, they haven't played a good team yet...

1) I'll "jock" my team whenever the hell I want to. I ain't taking that criticism from you, bro.
2) Read what I posted and realize that I WAS MAKING A JOKE.

Don't be that guy, mike.

[tubbs1518]

Mike seems to be that guy a lot. And how long did NE lose before Brady came in? NO before Brees got here? Just curious.

[GoBigOrGoHome]

To be fair, the Pats made it to the Super Bowl in each of the last three decades (lost to the '85 Bears, lost to Reggie White's '96 Packers, then came Belichick & Brady). So to classify them as a perennial doormat is a tad misleading. The Saints had a few years in to early '90s where they had the Dome Patrol defense and a decent offense. But at the time, they had the 49ers w/ Montana and/or Young as well as the Jim Everett Rams in their division and never really could overcome. But, man, if you were a fan of defense, the Saints were real fun to watch in those days.

Dont you mean Brett Favre's Packers, Biggie?

[msclemons]

Looking at those rankings again I'm surprised how much the "professionals" covering the league stick to their pre-season views. I expect the average fan to still think the Bengals suck and the Jets are good. If you don't really look at the games and just watch ESPN that's what you are being fed.

I would think guys who cover the league for a living would notice that this year the Jets suck and the Bengals are pretty good. There's quite a few other examples of this in the rankings as well.
