I think you left out a few players that are better than ours. Besides Cutler and Marshall, I would trade our entire offense for theirs. The only way you could take lach over willis is systematically. Urlacher is one of the best to ever play the game,hands down, but to say you would take him over willis today is just homer talk. Willis is younger,stronger and faster.DaDitka wrote:Funkster wrote: Like I said,people are taking them to lightly.

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.
You say loosing to the gaints as though they are chumps, they are defending superbowl champs. They are not playing good ball right now, true. But they play their best ball late in the season. They will be in the hunt and they are clutch come post season.
The niners already beat seattle and will beat them again. I live in Seattle and watch every game. Seattle has a lot of holes that need to be filled and can only win at home.
The way I see it, the niners are what the bears could look like if we had a system on offense. They utilize their players to their strengths. They have no problem dink and dunking their way down the field.They don't have to pick up 18 yards per play or nothing. They take what they defense gives them. They use Gore the way we should use Forte. Maybe we can learn something from them?
