As I watched the 49ers rout their opponent for the second week in a row, a particular quote popped into my head. The late great Dennis Green once famously said, “THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE.” And while the context wasn’t identical, I feel like the same can be said about a 49ers offense that has scored 30 or more in back-to-back weeks after a turbulent start to the season.
The potential has been there all year, but as a unit, the offense is finally starting to fire on all cylinders, avoiding the costly penalties and turnovers that have plagued them for the majority of this season.
