So the 49ers improved their offense only slightly the last two years...basically Alex was good for another FG a game...but their defense improved greatly...which is why they won.

Wrong. Everything improved. First, and the most important thing that improved, was field position. We also with having a top ranked defense, had a top ranked special teams and led the league in field goal position, which also while helping the defense, hurt the offense. THey had a shorter field to go.
Yes, the offense was the achilles heel to the 49ers, like the defense was to the packers, saints, and pats. All of the TALENT on the 49ers, is on the defensive side of the ball.
Try it this way.
Justin Smith, Top 3 De, NaVarro Bowman, Top 3 ilb, patrick willis, top inside backer, aldon smith, top 5 rusher, both safeties made the pro bowl.
the only thing that compares to that on the offense side is they had a top 10 tight end, a top 10 running back, and a top 5 oline. THe majority of the talent, is ON THE DEFENSE. Especially in 2011.......
