This is the year for niners, right?
Stop trying to jinx it, please.
If it makes you feel any better the NFC is looking way tougher than the AFC this season, but on the bright side if the 49ers can make it to the SB I would put them as the clear favorites to win it regardless of which team got to win the AFC championship.
I would not make that assumption. That is very much similar to what I assumed with the Bills for 2 straight years and I also had Josh Allen as the MVP during those years hehe. The 49ers might have gotten their revenge against the Eagles, however, this might only be showing the Eagles weaknesses than the 49ers strengths. Yes I might be wrong. Howeve, I do not trust Brock Purdy yet in a big game against someone like Patrick Mahomes.
To each their own so I have no problem if your opinion differs, however my assumption is not only based on the performance on the field, which at least to my eyes seems to be way better for the NFC teams this year, this is also about the overall health of the teams, on the AFC 4 out of the 7 teams currently on the playoffs are playing with their backup QB, and the Browns are playing with their 4th QB, while on the NFC only the Vikings are playing with a backup QB.
When it comes to Josh Allen there is no doubt he is extremely talented, but when I see him playing he seems like a more gifted but more erratic Brett Favre, he has a better arm, legs and can do some extraordinary things on the field, but he makes too many boneheaded mistakes that make you wonder, what was Allen thinking when making that throw?
Finally I would give Purdy some slack, when compared to Mahomes every QB currently playing comes up short, but Mahomes does not really have the weapons he needs to compete, although not as bad this reminds me of the last season of Brady with NE, cannot believe he won 12 games with that team, and while he is doing his best, KC WRs are dropping the ball the most on the entire NFL and I can only assume this trend will get worse on the playoffs when facing better teams, worst weather and the stakes are as high as they can be.
