It's worse than usual, even by NFC West standards. Yet one of the reasons I have so little respect for the '49ers teams of the '80s is that they faced one less team than anyone but the AFC Central (which was always a dog fight because there were so few divisional games for multiple contenders to prove themselves the best) and the other three were so awful it virtually guaranteed SF an unopposed Division Title. They suck a little more this year, but that's about it.
