"everyone is in love with this team"

Who exactly is everyone?

"Guess what folks? They are only 7_6.."

Keen observation.

overrated: To overestimate the merits of; rate too highly.

The 49ers have benefitted from playing 1 of the easiest schedules, it's ranked 30th out of 32 teams. Not to mention, they play in the NFC West.

The bottom line is Smith has completed 87 of 140 passes (62.1%) for 177.4ypg, 6.33ypa, 4 TD's, 4 INT's, and a 78.3 Passer Rating in the 5 games vs Cincinnati, Dallas, NY Giants, Detroit, and Baltimore. Against teams over .500.

All below his season numbers of 61.7%, 197ypg, 7.17ypa, 15 TD's, 5 INT's, and a 91.7 PR. Smith has not stepped up when it counts and that will come back and haunt them in the playoffs.

San Francisco reminds me a lot of last years Falcons team that posted a gaudy 13-3 record and was destroyed in their first playoff game, 48-21. Those Falcons were definitely overrated.

"San fran have an awesome defence..
49ers remind me of the ravens and bucs that won the SB couple years back.."

A couple? Baltimore won it in 2001 and Tampa won it in 2003.

The Raven defense was a lot better than SF's defense.

The 49ers have an excellent run defense (1st in the NFL) and a below average pass defense (19th). They are 1st in ppg allowed, but is that really any surprise?

Seattle (25th)
Cincinnati (18th)
Tampa (26th)
Cleveland (30th)
Washington (27th)
Cardinals 2x (24th)
Rams (32nd)

Those are some pathetic offensive teams right there.
Tony Romo and Jon Kitna combined to throw for 427 yards against them.

Satfford threw for 293 yards against them.

Eli threw for 311 yards against them.

A QB like Aaron Rodgers would carve them up like a turkey on Thanksgiving.

"7. Dallas, best of the bad teams.. No way can they be considered an elite team.."

Why? Dallas already beat them once in San Francisco.

To be overrated, people have to think highly of you.

They have faced 5 teams over .500, compared to 9 for the Cowboys.

I don't think Dallas can be overrated. Nobody is expecting them to do much at all really. They are 7-6, but they have had an absolutely beastly schedule this season.

I am not saying the 49ers are a bad team, there is a difference. But, I don't think they are as good as their indicates if I haven't made that clear enough by now. They just don't have a good enough QB to make plays when they need to.

I made the comparison to last years Falcons team for a reason. They also had a game manager at QB, but Ryan is capable of making more plays than Smith is. Simply, because he had a better WR in Roddy White.

I think the Steelers win, 21-13.

Next time, HCF. You have to bring it more than you did in this TD. Not much left to say, but the ever popular....

Cake and boobies

ala mode!!!!!
