Packers game demonstrates that the Niners must be pretty damned awesome

Packers game demonstrates that the Niners must be pretty damned awesome

The Packers defense looked every bit as intimidating as they were during the last year and a half when they assembled their 21-1 streak. They stomped the Bears. Not only did they hold the Bears to a mere 168 yards of offense, but they also added four interceptions and seven sacks. The Bears were scoreless for the game's first 38 minutes.

The real meaning of that requires a reference to last week's games. If the Packers are good enough to completely maul the team rated #8 in the power rankings, the 49ers really seem to be this year's team to watch.
