Since Harbaugh came we've been sort of ignored. Last year it was the schedule which meant we had that great record, this year it's running with a second year QB who gives us something that Alex Smith doesn't (thereby partly addressing that criticism of Smith). I think we saw on Sunday night just how good this team can be. Okay, the Patriots came back and nearly won but that was at their own place with their conditions and them being the form team in the competition. With a bit more experience that game would've been closed off at half-time (we should have been 17pts up by end of first quarter alone). The only team to fear in the NFC, for us, are the Giants because of their Leeds Rhinos type postseason form. Outside of that, we've beaten everybody and with room to spare. That doesn't mean the others should be written off, including teams like Seattle.
Think the NFC is an up for grabs situation whereas the AFC comes down to Manning and Brady for me.
