is that SF does NOT provide the best competition against the AFC. Or at least was of that frame of mind until the GB... now, I still think them the least competent foe for the AFC but I'm certainly no where as sure of that as I was pre-GB game.
I don't know if it's reasonable but I don't give SF as much credit for that GB win for some reason. It was not a surprise at all. The weather played right into their strengths and against GB's strengths. Combine that with Rodgers' apparent willingness to get his post GB life started and it was just a perfect storm of elements working in SF favor.
It's the opposite for the NFCCG. The Rams have all the motivation and confidence going into this game. They're still going to have to deal with taking SF's best shot, but if they can weather that, they should have a convincing win.
