If we're healthy on defense, we were the better of the two teams. If we don't make all the boneheaded mistakes on offense, we could have won anyway. But with DJ out, we needed the offense to carry the team, and they didn't.

I hear you, but QB is too important in today's NFL to consider any team with Alex Smith an "excellent" team. I'll go back to my 3-legged dog analogy. Alex Smith is a 3-legged dog. He's loyal, he tried hard, but he's never going to win you any races. He's not capable. He doesn't have it in him. I have no problem with Alex as a human being, but I can't stand him as a QB. He's a SLIGHTLY better version of Matt Cassel, but that difference is so small, that except for a few good scrambles here and there, they might as well be the exact same guy. He's horseshit as an NFL QB, and until he no longer starts for us, we'll never have a legit chance to win a championship.
