Are regular season (blowout) wins more important than a SB appearance? The Niners made it to the big game just this past season. And just a game away in 2011/12. As everyone knows, it sucks fat dong when your team gets spanked. But honestly, I'll take that ass whoopin and another if it meant getting to the final game, and so would any other fan of any other team (including you). So yes, the "5 rings" talk is a bit (lot) stale. No, they were not victorious in the SB last year, but they still made it there. Has to hold a bit of significance. Btw, the OPs creative collage includes a pc of Vernon crying.....after his spectacular catch in the middle of the field, with dbl coverage to seal a playoff victory. Not sure what Sherman is doing, other than just posing for a picture. Just saying it's more or less a compliment to the Niners rather than a jab.imo anyways
