The 49ers beat the packers every year in the playoffs how can they be rated ahead of them.

This article was put out months ago but seemed like an interesting off season topic .

Their top 5 are the Rams, Bengals , Bills, Chiefs and 49ers.

Interesting the Packers or Bucs aren’t in that group but would probably be in top 10. I’m not sure I’d put SF ahead of both .

Who do you see as top contenders for SB this year?

I'd flip Bucs and 49ers

Not sure about Bengals but I like them in general
Chargers could break through
I even think Denver could surprise....but man, that's a rough division.

If ANYONE would include a certain team in their guesstimate, no matter the reasoning, an avalanche of incredulous condemnation from that team’s fanbase would bury said person. The replies though—from 5 to 500 in no time!

That said…
Buffalo
KC
Tampa
L.A.
Green Bay

How LA is not #1 in everyone’s guess is beyond me. They only got stronger!

Yea, that might be expected on a Cowboys fan forum from hyped up homers. Lol

Thanks for your response . Looks like your top 5 is in line with most!

I don't see the 49ers as a top contender. Something tells me the Chiefs are not going to be there either. My dark horses are the Chargers and Eagles.
Yea, tough for me to put 49ers up there without seeing what Trey Lance can do.

One day Brady will fall of the cliff. Hopefully it will be opening night at Dallas.

Yes , it would be tough for us to finish 4th in AFC West.

I just happen to think that the teams are a lot closer than many think. Second place in the NFCN and SB champs—a handful of injuries or penalties can change things drastically in a league that changes every year.

There’s no reason to place us in Top 5 based on recent history or trends . If we were in some divisions might not even be a playoff team .

But if you are in the playoffs with a single elimination format the best team doesn’t always win which could provide a glimmer of hope.

Each season can provide surprises while some of the constants remain. Generally the top rated teams are based on recent history and trends.

I think if you’re looking for an upstart team to break thru it could be a team like Chargers , maybe the Broncos but such a brutal division .

Pats could be another team to watch. But everyone is picking Bills.

Cowboys will be picked to win our division again. But could be a tougher struggle this year. Tough to pick us over LA, SF, GB and Tampa but it’s why we play the games . So many tangible factors like injuries , etc.

I like our chances to be a playoff team again. I see no reason to expect more than that at this time . We’ll see come December and January as always.
