They even beat us at home in 2013. Former 49ers LB Ricki Ellison is a friend of mine (met him thru the military, oddly enough, and his son Rhett plays TE for the G-men), texted me that year and said that championship teams don't lose in Dec....we lost that game and @ SF and still won SB48, so it didn't hold true that year!
Oh, definitely. It'll be a huge buzzkill to drop any of those 3 games. Hard to see it happening....SF has no QB, so we'll be able to load up on the run to hopefully address what has been a bit of a surprising weakness on defense; AZ has the 2nd worst point differential in the league, and we play them here. It's hard to blow teams out in the NFL, particularly when you have an offense that really isn't set up to do that to teams, but these should be 3 comfortable wins.
Yeah, it was an odd game. I really didn't expect the Saints to lose, but it was the manner in which they lost that was puzzling -- shut out in the first half and just an overall feeble offensive showing.
But it's still nice to know he won't be in KC's backfield when we play them in week 16. An improbable win for sure but Hunt's absence tilts the scale our way a little bit.
100%, that is a bonus for us. I thought the same thing almost immediately after heard the Chiefs dumped him.
He'll be on the commissioner's exempt list anyway, so I doubt any team picks him up before this whole thing is settled. Quite possibly may never play in the league again.
