LoL that's some great logic there by the OP. Is he serious?
The team as it is is too good for tanking, whether intentional or just a weirdo fan strategy. Let's see how the SF game turns out. I really hope we can kick their butts this time. If they get beaten badly as in those two games before I'd say yes, once again a pretender instead of contender. But I'd never wish for us to lose against these pesky 49ers. I mean come on, it's the 49ers. They're as awesome as a porta potty being pushed over in the summer after the whole construction crew had chili.
