Just like the 2001 Rams the 49ers are now favorites for the SB after their game against us. I just can't remember though if we finished as the 3rd or 4th seed that year ! So yes i feel good after this game , and really hope we play them in the SB. Just wanted to know how many of you feel this good feeling even though we just couldn't win the game. Cheers.

We were the 2nd seed that year...Pittsburgh was #1. In 2001 it was the old 3 division line up. The top two division winners got he bye (same as today). Oakland was the only division winner that played in the wild card round with the three wild cards.
When Oakland beat the Jets in Oakland, they earned the right to come to Foxboro for the famous Snow Bowl. Our victory there led us to beat the Steelers at Heinz in the AFC Championship (nice time to remind any steeler fan that with your two superbowl wins last decade, you never beat us in the playoffs). Of course it was then the one short week to New Orleans to get that first one by beating the "greatest show on turf"
As soon as I read your caption, I just knew you were going to be talking about the ram game and you do make a very good point - if anyone felt going into the game that NE could not beat SF has to feel otherwise today.
