With the 49ers winning against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, we are officially past the season’s halfway point. Unrelated note: I miss the days when you could break the season into two evenly divided eight-game halves, but now it’s a much uglier number nine to get to the halfway point.
If I had written this after eight games, it would have a different tone, but things feel less gray after the 31-7 win at EverBank Stadium (Levi’s Southeast?). I even think there’s an argument to be made that the 49ers are on a two-game winning streak as re-claiming the NFC West while on bye week should count as a win.
