NFL.com news: Week 10: Ravens, 49ers locked in tie for No. 2 behind Packers

Now being tied for 2nd is BULL IMO but looking at that ranking, I have to say this...

Our San Francisco 49ers have/will play:
2a - Ravens
4 - Giants
5 - Steelers
7 - Lions
8 - Bengals(leads the afc!)
and at one pt, TB was viewed as a top 10 team along with the dream team....

WOW, we had a real schedule this year... there are/were no easy ones...

 

[Mozart'sGhost]

Well, we did play the patsies from Seattle, Cleveland and Washington and we still get 5 more games against the three weakest teams in the conference. We got our share of scrubs but we have also played very well against some of the best teams in the conference and still have to play the Giants, Ravens and Steelers. That is definitely not a cupcake schedule. The Niners have been impressive

We also beat the Eagles in Philly and that's not easy to do.

We gotta win 2 out of 3 against the Giants (tie breaker implications) Ravens and Steelers. This week is a huge game. I hope we aren't "due" for a bad game. We haven't played one yet, aside from the first half vs Philly and the end vs Dallas.

If you include all of our season's opponents with today's records, the 49ers have the second easiest SOS in the league. Obviously this is where playing in such a week division hurts.

Except this year. They're 1-3 at home after last night.

Granted. But our schedule to date has been quite tough, especially with the four east coast early starts. We end on a fairly easy note, though we can't underestimate the other NFC West teams too much.

You think so? I'd say if we win one of those games (especially if it is the Giants game) and 4 of 5 against the scrubs in the division we get the # 2 seed and a first round bye.

Agreed. Especially since we've had the toughest travel schedule of all the teams. I do hope though that the teams in our division win a bunch of irrelevant games. That will strengthen our SOS and lower their draft picks.

How so? For power rankings? Who gives a damn about power rankings. Give me a weak schedule any day and a clear path to the playoffs where anything can happen.

I just mean for the team in general. It would be a statement that we can beat the top teams on a consistent basis. And for me in general... I am still waiting to wake up and we are 2-5. (still contending for the division sadly enough)

No, for SOS. SOS plays a role in home field advantage if we have the same record as the Packers later on.

I don't give a shit about power rankings.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

JLC is a ****..... Sorry but he really is biased against SF....(watch if the Niners lose another gm down the stretch, he'll bolt them out of the top 10)

Considering we'll have the 3 of the top 5 per Power Rankings left to play... winning all 3(yea my expectations are rising) would shatter the media perception of us!

Well, he's also got the Giants ranked lower than anyone else. Brooks has the 9ers at #2 and NYG @ #3.
I'd just as soon La Cankersora and the rest of them ranked us #22. Last I heard, they don't give out the Lombardi Trophy on the basis of power rankings. So fvck all of that.

Seems like he is just ranking them low because of his Twitter fight with that 49ers fan. I laugh when I see him on NFL Network now, all chubby and talking from behind his open laptop... I can't help but wonder who he's fighting with on the internet now.

Interesting. Good info. I wonder what is the farthest down the list they've ever had to go to determine playof seeding.
