Jim can only do that bc he knows that his defense makes teams go backwards...Niners...showing the Patriots that if they do manage to scrap through the playoffs for the title...theyll be waiting... They are scary scary good...HC with balls of steel...the DLine dominating the Pats OLine
The 49ers might be better than the Texans, but I don't think they're that much better. The 49ers couldn't beat the Giants, Vikings, or the Rams, so they aren't unbeatable. And they had two chances to beat the Rams! I do hope they beat the Patriots, and maybe they will play the Texans in the Superbowl and we can find out what team really is the best.
The Niners D when they are humming are the best D in the game...All 11 play big...the Texans D really is a one man show playing out of his mind...doing everything to make our D respectable...
You know, I thought the Texan's defense was as good as the 49's, and maybe before Cushing went out, it was, but isn't now. They (SF) are putting on defensive clinic tonight. Yeah, and I like the coaching philosophy a lot better.
That certainly is the truth lately. Before all the injuries I thought the Texans D was one of the best in the league. I hope the Texans can get their act together for the playoffs.
Another issue with the Texans D is the huge drop off in play/production by the LB core...of Cushing, Barwin, and Reed...Granted that 2 of them arent playing, but our primary issue is at the Level of the LB...Cushing was extremely smart ILB...James, Dobbins, and Sharpton are just too slow...Cant really cover a big TE like Hernandez with James or Sharpton... But as you have already seen...Willis and Bowman cover the TE extremely well...
KAEPERNICK!!! This is awesome. Oh, and the transitive property doesn't really apply in the NFL. Fairly confident the Texans would do a lot better than a loss and a tie in two games against the Rams. Any given Sunday. In this case, I'd point out that it's pretty tough to play two huge marquee games in six days - and the 49ers are definitely getting some benefit from getting New England in the second.
