Are the San Francisco 49ers overrated?

[Jeremy Igo]

I've seen this brought up here and there. Are they as good as their 5-0 record shows?

[ickmule]

Every season a team starts off hot and crumbles. I think it’s these 49ers this season.  I could be wrong, but........ 

[WarPanthers89]

Yes they are, and we will prove that in 9 days with a dominate win.

 

[Moo Daeng]

No

Just look at their schedule. Bengals, Browns, Bucs, Steelers, Rams.

They have beaten two teams that have beaten us.

I'l say their pass rush is no joke.  They are deep at RB and George Kittle is one of the best athletes at the TE position and a BIG play machine.  We're going to have to score some points against them, like 30+ because they can score on us in an instant.  Our D is going to have just as tough of a job as our OL.

They are beatable, but who really knows how "good" they really are.  I HOPE that Ron and Co actually come out of a bye ready to go.  Would be a pleasant change!

But we all know why we lost those two games. Cams game against the Bucs was about as bad as it could get, other than memories of Jimmy the Pickle and Jakes playoff game against the Cardinals.

They are a good team, and they are undefeated so you have to give them credit

 

 

 

But they are a little overrated

Their opponents have a combined record of 9-21

Their 3 road games have been Tampa week 1, Rams (same place Tampa put up 50+ points), Cincinnati 

 

Theyve had some big key injuries the last few weeks that will be out.

Both OTs are out, the probowl FB out

Also probowl TE Kittle has missed practice this week with a Groin (Same thing that has held Donte Jackson the last few weeks)

When we were playing with an injured QB

Yet somehow I feel in a rematch we would win those games today.

Their DL isn’t overrated...and they are 5-0 in a tough division 

They've played one division game

The NFC as a whole seems to lack a juggernaut. Every team that's in the mix seems mortal. Look at last week: Seattle was down most of the week against the Browns before coming back in the final minutes and have squeaked out wins against mediocre competition all year (including Cincy and a mostly Roethlisberger-less Pitt). Green Bay was just gifted another win at home against Detroit and their offense has seemed pedestrian even with Rodgers. New Orleans seems to be a consensus top 2 team but that offense isn't scaring you with Bridgewater, flanking their TB win with 2 wins scoring a combined 25 points against average defenses. If Brees comes back 100%, that team will be scary though.

At least with San Francisco, they have handily beaten every team on their schedule, including demolishing the Browns and Rams, 2 teams with high expectations and a lot of talent, the past 2 weeks. Their only close win was against Pittsburgh where they were -3 in turnover differential and had 5 turnovers in all, 3 of them in the redzone.

I wouldn't say San Francisco is overrated unless you consider them to be an unstoppable force, which I don't think is a prevailing opinion. They are appropriately viewed as a surprising elite team that can be beaten on any given week, hopefully starting with week 8.

theyre legit. i think Jimmy G is overrated though. Same QB as Goff basically, needs a good supporting cast and a QB whisperer like Shanahan/McVay
