i agree with some of the things u said^^ but...
yea, we are talking about the same team that beat HOUSTON (2-14 last year) 24-10, and then LOST to the ny giants by giving up 24 points in the 4th quarter and a TD in overtime, and then beat the NINERS who were what? 4-12 last year? (no hate intended, i will admit the niners have VASTLY improved their team, and looking good thus far) Just because a team has high numbers, doesnt mean they are "elite" in the league, that statement is laughable. i will admit they are a good team, and we will see later on in the season when they face teams like Dallas, Indy, Atlanta, and Carolina....they've been downhill since losing in the superbowl, and it does look like they are coming back.....i would consider calling them "elite" if they had won AT LEAST 1 superbowl.....
