I think that's valid. They've been in a losing position in the playoffs and know how to come from behind. Teams like the Ravens don't know how because they've never experienced it.
I'd say their Achilles Heel is Purdy vs. Top Defenses. He's just never performed well against them, despite all his weapons. And generally just coaching. Andy just dicks all over Shanahan every time they play.
But if we're to rank them, maybe you put these 2023 Niners above the 2019 Niners. I dont think you put them above the Eagles. That team was ridiculously good.
