Kaepernick is not getting better. He's the same disjointed, uncomfortable0looking athlete posing as a QB that he's always been, only now defenses have wised up and his athleticism has largely been negated. I mean really, though- your defense gives you FIVE TURNOVERS against a 3-6 team and you score 16 points? And we're supposed to think this is a good team? No, no sir. This was a joke of a game against a crap opponent and they barely scraped out a win. Anyone who thought the Saints win was a major milestone should go ahead and check out the Saints' performance today. Let's just say they are not the 2009 version.
The good news? The Cardinals are a smokescreen and the Seahawks are imminently beatable, as is pretty much every other team in the NFC. The 49ers own and will always own the Packers, the South sucks, and the east is LOL.
Just kidding, the good news is actually the defense because GOOD GOD THAT DEFENSE YOU GUYS. It's the kind of defense that can get 5 turnovers, and then when the offense refuses to do anything with them because the offense is incompetent, they just go ahead and win the game themselves. I love how the front office is just like "yeah, we'll take this fifth round white guy and replace PATRICK WILLIS with him, and there will be next to no drop off." "Oh yeah, and that guy we're paying $7 million a year to rush the passer? We have a rookie making nothing who's actually better than him". It looks like Aldon Smith really is a magic talisman of some sort. The defense was RIDICULOUS. I know it's Eli, but the defense ain't looked that good against nobody this year. That was some old school Jim Harbaugh goodness.
Still pretty sure this team is not going to win a Super Bowl, but equally sure the Cardinals will not win the division. The 49ers have 5 very likely wins in their last 6 games, the Cardinals have 5 very likely losses in their next 6. I look forward to them going a very uninspiring 10-6 and missing the playoffs. Again. Because that is their fate and what they deserve as a franchise because screw the Cardinals.
