When you look at the Niners schedule from Dec/Jan - it looks like this:

26-0 Win vs. Rams. Defense looks good there.

21-19 loss to Cardinals not really impressed here

20-3 Win vs Pitt. garbage for the Defense vs. a very gimpy Rothlesberger

19-17 vs. Seattle they got run on a little here 124 yards. and BARELY got out of Seattle with this win

and finally

34-27 win against a horrible St. Louis team with nothing to play for and a head coach in his last days.

Please spare me about how this is the second coming of the '85 Bears. Good, yes. Great? Maybe but they'll have to still prove this to be remembered in the same breath as those Bears or the early 2000's Bucs and Ravens teams.

I haven't even gone into the fact that they were holding the Saints off for the #2 seed or that these teams all have losing records.

I'm not impressed.
Rickh, you are on the mark. There are a number of teams in the NFL with good stats and records against average to poor competition. The win over PIT is questionable on two fronts. First, as you said, Rothlisberger was a crip. Second, I think the Steelers are showing their age. When Denver put up 29 on your D, you have a problem.

Performance wise th 9ers were trending down late in the season and the Saints were on fire.
