49ers are scary good

I just remembered though; they're not called the Patriots so I guess their win streak against bad teams don't count. When the Pats beat the living hell out of crap teams, it's talked about non-stop as the only reason they're any good. People will beat that drum constantly blaming the AFC East on why they're good, even though New England is usually dominant and destroys those teams. Carolina didn't even look that good in most of those wins. They got 5 INTs on Winston and still let Tampa back into that game.

The only "decent" team they beat is Houston who are overrated every year. Even if the Texans do make the playoffs, they're a one and done team.

The Niners offense is definitely suspect. I second this, cause I'm not sold on Jimmy G who is just a mediocre game manager. Shanahan is also the genius who blew the 28-3 lead in the SB.

Even their defense was gashed today by McCaffrey.

I don't think the Panthers are all that good, no. Just ok.

I don't know why you brought up the Patriots in an unrelated topic. The Patriots have all of those Super wins and appearances, so they are, as much as I hate to say it, the gold standard. But their regular seasons ARE far less stressful than anyone else's, because they play in an absolutely historically bad division. That has nothing to do with anything, though.
