How do you feel about the Niners annually highly touted vaunted defense though?Niners QB situation is not ideal, but I trust it more than the saints.
The 49ers are dealing with a lot of injuries in the secondary. A lot of their fans want them to resign Sherman. I think their defense is like the Bucs, if the pass rush is neutralized they can be exposed.How do you feel about the Niners annually highly touted vaunted defense though?
I'm not seeing it this year. Still fast but not as aggressive or physical IMO. That's a big reason why i left them (and Seattle) out of my top 5.
I haven't looked at any numbers, but i'm primarily talking about up front vs the run and as you mentioned the pass rush. Also tacking. They don't look the same to me. They're healthy relative to a year ago.The 49ers are dealing with a lot of injuries in the secondary. A lot of their fans want them to resign Sherman.

I agree with your post. I quoted you to add to your point.I haven't looked at any numbers, but i'm primarily talking about up front vs the run and as you mentioned the pass rush. Also tacking. They don't look the same to me. They're healthy relative to a year ago.
We lead the league in turnovers, which is probably the most important defensive stat. We are also missing several key players. Our defense isnt weak.Rams
Bucs
Packers
Cardinals
Vikings
Don't sleep on the Vikings. They would have beat the Cards if it wasn't for that missed FG. They can run and pass at a high level.
Cowboys - Dak is playing great be that defense is SO weak
49ers - Jimmy G is too inconsistent to but top 5 to me.
Panthers - I don't think they played anyone good except for the Saints. Winston relapsed and was throwing up anything in that game.
Saints - Same as 49ers. Winston is too inconsistent.
I'm Shocked at the amount of Cardinal votes. I think they are September sweethearts
