Going into this season, the 49ers are one of the most overhyped teams I can think of when it comes to hype... at least since the 2011 Eagles, and I would argue these '9ers are even more overhyped simply because the extreme pedestal that Jimmy G is sitting on that fans have placed the feller... is based on... five... games. Five regular season games towards the end of the season last year. I'm just not buying it. Am I in denial? Perhaps, in a way, with the combination of being a Rams fan and wielding a natural disdain for the '9ers, and I accept that they have improved as a team, but I don't buy into them being a veritable threat until at least next year.
