What I remember is Eli Manning beating Alex Smith and then going on to win a superbowl.
In the playoffs, when you actually need a QB who can convert 3rd downs, Alex Smith eventually lost.
Keep being stuck in the 80s when running and defense won and you didn't need a franchise QB
It's not like the NFL has changed since Jim McMahon won a superbowl

The facts are funny??? The Niners came within one play of beating the Giants twice in 2011.....right?
The only fact is that the 49ers lost to a better team despite having HFA.
I'm sorry you can't accept this.
Giants won the Superbowl.
The 49ers beat the would be SB champs in the regular season. If Ted Ginn doesn't get hurt (why Williams was in there to things up) they probably would have beaten them in the Championship game.
For any team to do what the Niners did to the would be Champs tells us what?
The best team doesn't always win.
great argumentative strategy
Isn't that what happened, you saw something different? If so...what?
I saw the Giants win the NFCCG, what did you see?
You honestly think the Giants win that game if Williams doesn't keep fumbling the ball back to them? Be honest.
@ the Ted Ginn argument
The Giants had plenty of injuries as well. Injuries are part of the game.
I think that's irrelevant since Williams DID keep fumbling the ball back to them.
I also think San Fran mighta won the game if they had a QB who didn't go 1 for 13 on third down.
Absolutely. Going 1/13 on 3rd down (w/ that one being a gimme against prevent defense) at home is beyond pathetic. Giving up a TD on 3rd and 15 is pathetic.
Giants were the better team. Giants won. Accept it and move on.
Let's be honest....ok? No silly games.
Niners beat the Giants regular season. In the Championship game a kick returner totally blew it. If he doesn't blow it the Niners probably would have won that game...you disagree?
Why were the Niners favored in that game?
In the regular season the Packers also beat the Giants. Why does any of that matter?
Kyle Williams has been muffing punts his entire career. It's Harbaugh's fault for having him in that position.
And to answer your question, no, I don't think San Fran wins the game. I think Eli Manning woulda ultimately pulled through at the end while Alex Smith couldn't convert a 3rd down to save his life.
Didn't the Rams beat the Saints? The Chiefs beat the Packers? How long you been watching the NFL? How many times have we seen turnovers cost the better team a win....TONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
This hypothetical is re ed.
"If they don't turn the ball over at all, they win!"
Might as well say, "If they scored more points than the other team, they win!"
Yeah, the Saints were the better team but 5 or so turnovers did them in
The Giants outgained the niners, won the TO battle, and held the ball for 11 more minutes than the niners
backfire
The Niners were favored for a reason. The game was close (obviously) take away the fumbles I give the Niners another win over the Giants. Depite Alex Smith. The Niners had the better regular season. No reason at all to think the Giants were the better team. They were .."in"...Frisco for a reason.
The Bay Area sure has devolved...once known for great music, now SF is known for deviant sexuality, rice-a-roni, and stupid fans
The Giants going on the beat the Packers, 49ers, Patriots and Falcons, all teams that had "better regular seasons" than they did gives any semi-intelligent being a reason to think that using the regular season to evaluate how good NY was is extremely re ed.
I don't think you know much about the Nfl.
You're a ing idiot.
To ignore reality is retarted. The Niners gave the game away...reality.
Hey, what's up man!
Remember when Jim McMahon and Doug Williams won a superbowl with a great defense and running game in the 80s? That totally means the 49ers can do the same thing 30 years later with Alex Smith!
Good to hear from you man!
Yeah, something great teams don't do.
