The strength of the 9ers to my eye is their head coach. Shanahan is an elite coordinator and he has the ability to maximize his QB value through a very potent running attack. Re: the front office they're gonna win some lose some like all of them do. Nobody bats a thousand. Looking at their personnel moves they have made some dumb ones so I am not any more interested in patting them on the back and acting like they're geniuses than I am interested in disregarding them.

But if some around here want to take victory laps when they're right about an opponent having a good season, that's their thing. I definitely wouldn't be taking victory laps over an opponent's success, to me that is a poster who wants to be right more than everything else and actually goes to the trouble of bumping the posts in order to get recognition.
