We have better special teams, better defense, and both offenses are not even worth talking about....so the only reason this contest should be close is because Frisco is at home IMO.
Like I said,people are taking them to lightly.
Bears --------
Niners
Offense 27th - 11th
Defense 10th - 5th
Kicking 3rd - 31st
Kick return 32nd - 10th
Punting 24th - 22nd
Punt return 13th - 5th
FG 7th - 17th
Oh, I know what the numbers are, but so much of stats are are skewed buy game situations and opponents (garbage time production, level of opponent, weather)
I noticed you didn't include scoring differental, turnover differential....etc. You can always finds stats to make any point you want to (I know I'm the king of it)
But the eye test tells me we are a superior team to the Niners. I didn't feel that way last week against to Texans, but against the Niners I do. I watched their entire game last week and other then Alden Smith, Vernon Davis, and 4 of their 5 O-line man I don't think any of their 'started' would start over ours..( I know many/most would say Willis over Urlacher...but I refuse to).
I'm not going to argue with those that feel the Niners are a better team, I just don't see it that way.
I think Seattle is better then them in their own division and think think the Bears, Packers, and Falcons are all far superior in the NFC, they have already lost to the Giants.. so at the very least I see 5 superior teams in the NFC alone. Yet I feel many act like they are one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the league and I really don't see it that way.
