Even with securing a playoff spot Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers players know they cannot go into cruise control in the final four games of the season.  The 49ers must win against the Cardinals, Steelers, Seahawks and Rams in order to lock up the number two seed and first round bye.  We all know the Packers are not going to lose anymore than one game in the final four games, so they are the number one seed in the NFC.  The Saints, who are one game behind the 49ers in the NFC, have two tough games but have a good chance of going undefeated down the stretch.  The 49ers at most can lose one game and hope they win the tiebreaker over the Saints.  The final four games for the 49ers are not only must wins but also present a great opportunity for the 49ers to fix holes on offense.
