It's a long season, I don't think either of those teams will be in that game.
Who do you think will be then?
Vikings of course =) I think Rams, Bucs and Packers will eventually get it going, Philly has the benefit of a ridiculously easy schedule, 49ers not so much and could lose the next 3.

I agree about Rams and Packers - they're out there in the weeds...
I do think the Bucs are done and Brady is too.
Dallas has to be part of this discussion and that will be a tough out for the Vikings (even @ home)

Agreed. The Chiefs are obviously a very good team but they've lost 2 games already and trounced the McCaffery led Niners yesterday. So many fans ready to crown them (49ers). They're 3-4. The Eagles look amazing but it just takes one poor game in the playoffs. Jimmy G is a caretaker type QB so you'll get what you get with his game.
Panthers didn't seem to miss McCaffery yesterday in blowing out Tampa. Its just a RB, guys......dime a dozen in the modern NFL. Not saying both of those teams aren't good nor can't play extremely well at times, no doubt about it. And there are no juggernauts in the NFC, but the Eagles are the creme. Lots of football to be played and its totally up for grabs.
Good assessment of the 49ers currently:
What to know: Much was made of the 49ers' addition of running back Christian McCaffrey, but general manager John Lynch warned last week that McCaffrey isn't a magic cure for what ails the Niners. That was readily apparent Sunday, as the defense got torched by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the offense failed to keep up, settling for field goals when touchdowns were needed. McCaffrey can and will help, but at 3-4, the Niners are going to need plenty of improvement elsewhere.
What's wrong with the 49ers' defense? The Niners' defense has come crashing back to Earth. That was to be expected as the opponents got better and injuries piled up, but Sunday was a rude awakening. The Niners had Kansas City in third-and-20 and third-and-12 in the second half with a chance to get off the field. They gave up a combined 91 yards on those two plays. Injuries aside, there's enough talent here to prevent those types of things from happening. -- Nick Wagoner

Not sure how legit this is, but I heard that the reason the niners were willing to give up so much is they are expecting to get 5 or 6 3td round compensatory picks next year for losing players to FA this year as well as minority coaches. Again not sure if true, but if that is the case...thats ridiculous .
teams can only get up to 4 comp picks

We'll see if the Eagles remain the cream at the end of the year. I think I'd still take the 49ers. As a Viking fan, that's the team I'd least like to face anyway. But who knows what these teams will look like late in the year.

GB has Buffalo, Tennessee, Dallas, Philly and the Lions the next 5
They will be lucky to be 2-3 over the next stretch. The division is ours for the taking

speaking of rough schedules to finish out the season, check out the lions remaining games and then tell me if Dan Campbell should be worried.
