Wins: Niners x2, Rams, Cards, Colts, Giants, Redskins, Texans, Eagles, Jags.
Losses: Rams, Cards, Packers, Cowboys, Titans, Falcons.
10-6, should be more than enough to win the division.

I just don't see this team as being "vastly" improved over the past two versions and definitely not on par with our two SB teams. Add to that the fact that we're playing on a first place schedule, drawing the Packers and Falcons instead of the Lions and Bucs, and I think we're looking at our third straight appearance in a wild card game.
But it's way, way too early to be putting any faith or doubt into anyone's predictions.

When you break more than 100 tackles, and the nearest is somewhere around 60, and this with Lacy playing in the NFL, I doubt he will have similar success.
Unless the OL can clear a path to the 2nd level to allow Lacy to get rolling. Lacy might have the power of Lynch, but doesn't have the quickness and subtle slipperiness needed to
augment the power for Beast Mode type runs.
He's going to need a better OL in front of him than Lynch had to come close to the production. Time will tell if they can do it.

He had (and maybe still has) the ability to move subtly, like a QB in the pocket, to avoid taking a solid tackle. It's part of his wide base running style and coupled with his power, it let him break tackles.
I don't see that quality in Lacy, but I do see the power and once he gets a head of steam he can do real damage. It's up to the OL to give him the room to get rolling.
