They kicked off the season vs an NFC Super Bowl favorite, in their house, and in spite of 2 INTs earlier in the game to include a pick six were positioned to possibly tie the game when Garoppolo threw that third INT. Their defense played well, and their offense opened some big holes in the run game.

9ers are a challenge for us. No doubt about it to my eye. The Seahawks are probably another matter.

One thing I don't happen to have as a Rams fan is 9er hatred. I just skipped class that day. I don't love them but they don't automatically bring out animosity in me. I can show them grudging respect.

The only team I ever hated really was the Staubach Cowboys.

I saw only parts of the Vikes/9ers game yesterday but I agree, that's a competitive team. A lot of it is coaching. Shanahan is the real deal. When that team develops they will be real division rivals, and will be a challenge this year.
