Green Bay last year after Rodgers went down is a good example of that sort of thing. Stuff like that happens to at least one powerhouse team every year, but experts and fans like to sweep those sorts of variables out of sight because it messes with this false sense of equilibrium they develop before the season starts. And if the 49ers are really good, and you have a tight wild card race, then Seattle could easily be the odd man out. That applies to every other team in the league as well.
"If their starting QB and three key defensive players get injured, they will have a hard time making playoffs"

-statements that could be made for literally any season of any NFL team in any era in any city of all time ever
