1st off, you all got lucky. Lucky the refs bailed you out at the end, because the Seahawks got robbed on that no-call pass interference in the end zone.
Lucky to get the #1 seed in the playoffs.
Lucky you didn't face Seattle instead of a hapless Green Bay team.
San Francisco is just lucky to have made it this far.

Seattle was in tatters as well.
For all the talk about the vaunted NFC, I didn't see much in the way of greatness there. The Packers were the weirdest, softest 13-3 team I've seen since...well the Chiefs 13-3 team in 2003. Brees was so clearly on fumes down the stretch (same as last year) that the Saints simply weren't as good as their record. The Seahawks had been
decimated by injury and damn near lost to a 40 year old man playing on a torn hamstring. The Vikings had Kurt Cousins - the same guy that lost to Matt Moore.
I just don't understand this belief that the NFC was some savage hell-conference.
