If anything needs to be revised, it's the Vikings. I can't believe I bought into them this year.

I wasn't surprised the 49ers handled the Vikes. West Coast team in the 9pm slot?
I also wasn't surprised that the 49ers D held up so well, if anything, slightly underwhelmed by the D-line which I expect to still be a top 5 d-line. LB corps still solid, Willis was a great player but he was surrounded by talent, Bowman looks like he's at 95%, which is better than all but 2-3 ILBs in the league. Pleased with the CBs, especially the new kid, Acker.
This is all part of Baalke's master plan. He stocked the roster up with injured players when the 49ers were too stacked to do much else, guys like Acker are finally showing up, hopefully Tank can chip in more.
I was also very impressed with the run blocking, I don't know who those two guys on the right of the line are, but hats off to them, good shite, Hyde had an 18 yard untouched TD run on that side. I still don't trust them and we'll see how they cope with the likes of the Steelers. I think Anthony Davis will prove to be the biggest single offseason casualty, last year was a clusterfrick when he wasn't in, rarely did anything work.
Overall though, plenty of reason to think the 49ers can just miss out on the playoffs and get a middling draft pick.

That style of offense that the niners play gives the Packers fits. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Pack lost.

I honestly think Minny was just that bad. They looked horrendous - that could have easily been the Jags or Browns the way they played last night.
They were bad from front to back, deeply unimpressed, gameplan was a head scratcher, defense looked woeful especially against the run. Although I never quite got the hype around them, they were behind at least 7 NFC teams - Seahawks, Packers, Cowboys, Eagles, Saints, Cards and Rams, probably the Lions too and now the Niners.

this team winning 6-8 games is a pretty great stepping stone for this teams first year under the direction of Tomsula after their talent was depleted.

I dunno, the Bills, Texans, Miami, and Jets are better hands down (assuming Shelton plays this year at some point).

It's my team, I don't want to live in the real world. (Also the Rams)
