The 49ers were a much worse matchup for us than people think, but the Giants won't be easy. In fact they're capable of blowing us out if we don't show up. Not saying they will, but they could.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. Their pass rush is slightly better than Baltimore's, but it isn't at the level it was in 2007. The LB's are horrible, with exception to Boley, and the secondary is decent but can definitely be exploited.
I saw a lot of holes in that defense that the Packers and 49ers were unable to take advantage of with bad throws and drops. That won't happen in the SB.
Not saying we'll score 30 points. I just like the matchup better than the 49ers.
True. But the Ravens make every team look bad.
Ravens Defense > 49ers Defense
Flacco > TJ Yates > Tebow > Alex Smith
Not really the 49ers were a much better match up, for one big reason, Alex freaking Smith doesn't have a horeshoe up his arse like Manning does.
Can someone look back and see how many back-to-back bad games Brady has had in his career?
In my head it seems that he never has them but my memory isn't very reliable at this point.
Add a strip sack early in the game where SF should have recovered.
Just wanted to point this out since the media keeps talking about the Giants being "red hot".
Yes, theyre a great team. Battle tested. Gritty. But still terribly inconsistent. Perhaps it was because the ball was wet and the field was slippery. I don't know. But as someone who doesn't watch a whole lot of Giants games, I was not at all impressed last night.
Eli threw 2 surefire picks yesterday. Both were botched by the same 49ers player (Dashon Goldson) being overly aggressive and running into his own team mate.
Alex Smith was easily the worst QB in the entire playoffs. Tebow is more of a threat. There was one 3 and out at the end of regulation where he missed all 3 of his targets by huge margins. He looked like a high school QB to be honest.
49ers kick returner makes a bone headed play. He had no business being near that ball when it was bouncing around.
And with all that, the Giants were still taken to overtime by the 49ers.
Then that same kick returner fumbles the ball and gives the Giants an easy FG.
Sure they beat the Packers. But last night they could barely beat Alex Smith on a bad day. Our offense will have a better game against the Giants defense than we would've against the 49ers defense.
49ers are one of the few teams that might be able to cover our dual TE's. Pat Willis is the fastest LB in the league and could run step for step with Gronk AND is athletic enough to knock away passes. They also have a good pass rush with Aldon Smith and Justin Smith. The Giants also have good pass rush but nobody to line up with Gronk and Hernandez.
Nothing else to say.... I can't wait for the Superbowl.
And I can flip that and say that Cundiff had no business missing a 30 yard fg and Lee Evans had no business dropping that TD
They are a 9-7 team that got hot at the right time. They have 2 weeks to cool off and get ***** slapped.
