If we were in the AFC then things would be tougher, but the NFC feels a bit more open to a team playing over their heads and sneaking into the playoffs. I don't think we have a good chance to get in, but I do think we have a chance.
9ers are the class of our division due to that defense and run game. But after them Seattle I think can be had because they're not set up at QB. Geno is a bonehead. We're a good game from Stafford away each time we play them.
I think our run defense will keep us from being a threat to really do anything meaningful, but for me this season just getting into the playoffs or even playing for a wildcard in December with some hope would be good. Because with this roster it's gonna be tough. It is what it is. But all that aside I look forward to rooting for this year's team. This year feels a lot like 2017 to me in that way.
Agree with all of that. Niners D-line is going to maul our young, inexperienced O-line. Those games will be ugly, IMO. I think they'll handle us easily no matter which of their QBs plays. Seattle I think we will win at least one from them. Should take two from the Cards. So I see the ceiling as 9-8 and grabbing the final wildcard. An injury to Stafford, Kupp or Donald changes that, of course.
