They just lost to the Eagles. And who have the played?
I think they are on the rise. I think the Eagles are better than advertised, too. They do play in a division where they get 4 extra bye weeks (MIA and NY), but they almost beat NE, and a few plays go a different way, they win. Itās definitely TBD, but I think theyāre a team on the rise.
I still donāt think they are great, maybe in 2 years.

Yup - theyāre still building it, just like us. We need our DL healthy, so we can see what we have. We need help at OL, RB, and probably DL (to me, they are inconclusive, until we see them all healthy). Hand looked solid, in his first return to action. Hoping Snacks injury isnāt season long nagging thing. Hoping Bryant and Daniels can get back and make a difference.

Yep, 49ers have had a super easy schedule up to this point.
Plus they played the Rams without Gurley, the Steelers without Rothlesberger, and the Panthers without Cam.
Cake walk for them so far.

One small note. The Panthers have been better without Cam.

Erin Rodgers and the Packers and Refs. 
As much as I hate to admit it. The Packers just may be able to give them a run. Otherwise Iām rooting for the Saints, Lions and 49ers in the NFC.

Iāve got the Saints coming out of the NFC. They feel like a team of destiny, this year.
I think the Vikes may be right behind them. I strongly feel that the Vikings are a better team than the Packers, even with the officials.

Yeah the Vikings could be real good too. So many good teams in the NFC. Itās hard to say who will come out on top.
We could be in the mix too. Iām curious to if we add anyone who could take us over the top at the trade deadline.

Teams can stop both. Dallas, GB, Seattle, New Orleans I would all take in a playoff game vs SF.
I also believe the Colts are built to take out the Pats. The days of the Pats lining up 6 lineman and running the ball down the Colts throats is gone. A massive coaching mismatch is gone now that Frank Reich is at the helm for the Colts.

Sure the Refs and Green Bay

I agree - I know GB beat them early but now that the offense is clicking they are good all around. Not really a weakness on that team.
We beat Philly - GB lost to them
We both played KC really tough.
We beat GB in head to head. Iām standing behind that statement.
Iām not scared of GB. While I know we werenāt healthy, and we missed some huge tackles against MN, they beat us pretty soundly in our own building. That didnāt feel like a fluke at all.
I am with you - Vikings game is the only game this year I felt we were outmatched. We won the GB game despite the w/l column. GB is improving game to game though. It will be a different team come the end of the season.

I just have to say on Minnyā¦ Yes, Detroit was handled, butā¦
If Melvin plays even āaverageā for a starting CB, the Lions going into halftime with a lead.

From what we have seen of him so far, average may be his ceiling. I am thankful that we have him, instead of last yearās Lawson, but I see the DL handling their business as our most likely scenario that Melvin no longer gets beaten consistently. Dude doesnāt even look for the ball, even when he is in position.
In all honesty, Iād rather have Lawson. He could at least keep up with guys, even if he couldnāt turn and locate a ball to save his life.
The offense was clicking when they played the Packers the first time. The Vikes put up 28 points the week before playing Green Bay and 34 the week after.

We may need to agree to disagree here. Points donāt tell the whole story. Cousins and the passing game were struggling early on. Now the entire offense is doing well. They can run it down your throats or beat you up with the passing game. You have to pick your poison. I donāt feel that was the case early.
