NFL: 2011 Season News and Discussion Thread
#1641
The Giants are a passing team, well known at this point. They haven't had a running game all season. Nothing new there....
You can speculate left and right about what would have happened without those turnovers...but don't forget we shut down their offense almost completely. Aside from from a couple bomb passes to VD, they did nothing with the football besides mishandle it. They converted 1 3rd down all game.

I will say that the first fumble was luck and hustle, the second one was hustle and play, making it happen against someone who should have known better.

No speculation, you got the ball twice inside of the 35, once with time left on the clock to take the lead, only to it up to tie and go to overtime. The second was enough that the Giants could have kicked from there and finished the game with running any plays. No speculation there, but luck.

The off the knee fumble was a gift, but it was a punt. If they kept the ball there, could have went three and out and we could have got the ball back and drove down field. That's where the speculation comes into play.

SF's offense was inept. And the Giants deserve some credit for that.

The Giants were on a mission since week 16. I think they deserve to be in the SB again.

The way I see it,the Giants handled the ball better than the 49ers. It's a big part of the game and because of it, we are going to the Super Bowl and they aren't. Especially the OT fumble, that ball was hit out of his hands and recovered. That is not luck, that's good football.

Eli and Cruz are capable of exploding at any time and get the big play they need.

I'm like that when USC loses a game. My fiance always laughs at me so badly.

I don't know man...I just don't see this game that some of you saw where the Niner's were dominating the field and if not for the turnovers, the game was theirs. They couldn't move the ball at all on offense. I'm not even sure Smith hit 1 wide receiver in the second half. Without Gore, they had nothing.

I agree. That is how these really close games usually get decided. All in all the playoffs this year have been pretty exciting, except for the egg laid by the Bungles. The other three routs were entertaining because of who the victims were.

My coworkers were really bummed out today. Somber vibe. If Ginn were playing it would have made all the difference, he's saved our asses a few times this season already. A huge part of our excellent special teams this year (which is among the best this season as well).... replaced by a guy that's fielded five punts his entire NFL career it was a very close game.
I'm still so proud of the season the 49ers had. I expected 7-9 at best, but as I've mentioned before, I don't follow college football at all. I had no idea we'd even get this far... while I wish we went further, I feel this is finally the beginning to a new era.
Also unrelated, I have a friend named Andy Lee who doesn't follow sports at all. When he does post on FB about football, he gets comments about how great he did

There are no style point (yet) in Football. The best team 'out there' wins the game. Period.

We heard the same thing back in 2007, with many folks still claiming the The Patriots were the better team. Funny thing is, the Lombardi trophy for that year resides in Met Life Stadium.

Niners lose to the Giants AGAIN in the NFC Championship game on a GW FG after a fumble. First Roger Craig, now Kyle Williams.....:thumbsdow
#1664
They shouldn't even have a AFC VS NFC, they should just have the AFC VS Niners because all players on the Niners including Kyle Williams are the best.
Clearly the 49ers will go undefeated not just 2012-2013 or 2013-2014 or 2014-2015.... They will live on a legacy.

When the 49ers went a league worst 2-14 in 2004/2005, I was still a proud supporter of my team. Much like most other real 9er fans I cheered them on and hoped for a better future. I didn't go around bashing the all the Atlanta Falcons fans after their loss to the Eagles in the NFC Championship game - I was envious that they had the chance.
You really have to grow up.

BigPZ, why you mad? It was clearly a joke and you gave in. :shakehead
You still trippin off that game on Sunday, get over it bro. There is a block button on here use it if you don't want to see my post bruh. That goes for anyone in here
Ok kudos to you for being a person who supported your team when they sucked, you can't say that about most of the Niner fans, living in N. Cali that only come around when the team is winning.

O damn sorry Juip, I thought I quoted Big PZ post, that's why I said I edit because I didn't want to offend you.
If I offended anyway, not just 49er fans my bad. But I will never like the Niners and I'm going to continue to talk smack about them because that's what makes it fun.
