They are talented and will make the playoffs, but none of it will matter if they get bounced in the wild-card or divisional which is a real possibility depending on who they play... Like it or not, they have feasted on the luck of their schedule so far - yes, opponents winning % means something. If they were in the AFC East, they likely have a couple more losses already. AFC is where its at...... Eagles are a good team, but Hurts has to prove he's ready for the Playoffs after last year. Honestly I'd love the 49ers to get the Eagles in the divisional....good team for them in the Playoffs, and the Bucs would be in their heads already. Eagles have the onus to prove they're actually a contender vs playoff fodder. They are not the 2017 Eagles. Hurts has improved, but I dont think they're making the jump. Despite the final,, they had trouble with the Texans. I haven't watched all the Eagles games, but that's the sense I get. See how they play against the Giants, and Titans and to a lesser extent Packers- notice I dont include the Cowboys who are middling looking and certainly not going anywhere.

Jets and Patriots are similar to 49ers - very good defenses and average offenses. Very vanilla play-calling by Jets O-Coordinator. Jets register 6 sacks on Patsies.
I wish the Raiders would hurry up and give Josh back. Mac has completely regressed.

Chargers defense forgot just how dangerous Patrick is with the ball. That game winning drive looked way too easy.

The team has had a tendency to be that way in recent memory. I'm liking where we're sitting, though, at 7-3, but worry about the team's ability to come through past week 18. Should be 8-2, but we can leave that for another discussion.
.....Hate Kelce, hate Mahomey......teams need to blueprint off Bengals last year - need a fast linebacker spying Mahomes so he doesn't munch 30 yard runs, and double Kelce. Eveyone else single coverage. - cover 1. Chargers would've had a fighting chance with Mike Williams and jumpballs but injured.
They didn't watch Bengals game from last season....they lost the game earlier, by not critical points in the 3rd. Always cumulative.
I dont like or dislike the Cowboys - used to hate em during the 90s.

Considering they're coached by an ex-defensive coordinator, the Chargers are startlingly ill-prepared on defense seemingly 75% of the time.

Against the powerhouse Cardinals......that aside, Shanahan should've put in Purdy earlier when the 49ers hit 31.
