Agree.The 49er's remaining schedule looks nearly as tough as Seattle's.
It's really too bad the Hawks couldn't pull out a win against either New Orleans or Atlanta. I have a feeling those losses are going to haunt this team.
Regardless though, this team has already exceeded expectations and (as you state later) seems to be moving in a forward trajectory.
True that one of those losses against ATL, LV, NO, or TB could keep us a away from the post season and a (more than likely) first round exit, but as it does, it also places our organic first round pick more squarely in the middle of the round before what tends to be a pretty big drop-off.
Not advocating a tank strategy at all, just content about the opportunities ahead, either on or off the field.
