You see it all of the time in sports where the favored, more talented team that "should" win performs poorly and just barely escapes an upset in a big game. More often than not, that poor performance is followed up by a loss.
To be an armchair sports psychologist, I'd say the 49ers are coming off two of those types of games. They just haven't looked good in the playoffs.
They're walking into a buzzsaw if they continue playing as they did against the Packers and Lions.
