... bet the majority would answer “NFC West.” Curious then, looking over the last 10 years of football, that the NFC West has sent more teams to the Super Bowl than any other division. Curious, indeed

It's hard to gauge how much of a threat the 49ers are to teams outside of the division. Sure they compete, they go out and play football like any other team, but I'm seriously doubting fans of any of the teams San Francisco plays next season are penciling in a big L next to their game with the 'Niners.

 

In fact, the only teams who ever seem to do this are teams within the division. I've known fans of the Rams, Seahawks, and the Cardinals, (yes, they do in fact have fans!) occasionally say a good word or two about their NFC West rivals, the 49ers.

 

So, rather than focus on the 49ers' ultimate win/loss ratio, I'd much rather focus on, oh, say six games, by taking a look at the upcoming divisional games this season.
