Exactly! Just like when the packers beat the giants in NY this season, so there was no reason to think they wouldn't be able to beat them in Green Bay. Wait, what?![]()
Oh, yea and GO 49'ers!!!
Lets see if they can add another quarterback to their postseason run. They beat the Giants once at Candlestick this season already, no reason to think they can't do it again.

Lots of reasons to think it won't happen again. The Giants are playing better than when they played them before, Nicks is healty and in beast mode, E Manning is on top of his game and the defense is playing lights out.
The Niners D is going to be too nasty for the Giants to win. I predict that a couple of key players for New York will get knocked out of the game.
It's just not true. On the first two plays of the drive, the Saints played a zone and the Niners gained only 18 yards and wasted 50 seconds! Then the Saints blitz and played man and Davis got the huge play to set up the late score. If the Saints continue with a zone and allow 10 yard completions in the middle of the field, the Niners would have only had time for a really long FG or hail Mary. The Saints had no reason to be aggressive with 40 seconds left with the Niners on their on 33 yard line. It was dumb play-calling.
I don't think it was really that dumb. Smith tends to buckle under pressure. It just so happened that this time he didn't. I think the Saints wanted to make Smith uncomfortable and get in his head.
Overall this is what I am looking at.
Defense: 49'ers
Offense: Giants
ST: 49'ers
San Francisco's defense will force the Giants to be a 1 dimensional offensive team. Pass pass and more pass. The 49'ers will give up yardage I am sure, but that didn't help Brees and the Saints much.
Overall key to the game is whether or not the SF offensive line can handle the Giants pass rush. If they can, this game will go to the 49'ers. If not, the 49'ers will still win, just not by as many points.![]()
Most definitely will come down to whose D-line gets more sacks/tfls since both teams have superb D-Line play. Justin Smith and Aldon Smith vs. Osi, Tuck, and JPP will be dopeness. I think the Giants take it because they've got that huge helmet around Manning's head and the Giants defense is alot better than the Saints.
It was INSANELY DUMB. 40 secs left, on their own 32 yard line, 1 timeout. Only big plays can beat you at this point. Only rush 3 or 4 and make him complete 3 or 4 underneath passes to get into fg range. They blitzed and left a safety on an island with one of the best TE's in the game.
DUMB. If I were the HC and you were the DC who just called for that blitz, I'd make you pay for your own ticket home and fire your ass once you got there. Completely inexcusable.
Thank you. You basically described how most people from Louisiana to the Florida panhandle feel right now.
The fact is, Smith had already wasted 50 seconds on two short completions which gained them 18 yards before the big pass to Davis. 18 yards in 50 seconds!![]()
The Giants will win. They are a more complete team.
Go Eli. I have the most faith in him to stop the Choker.
Giants better win.
It's going to be interesting to see how the weather affects the game today.
NOW that's some playoff atmosphere
Patriots fans are way too quiet
