Go 49ers

Only because the Giants are the other option. And I need at least 1 right pick this week.

-1

why have another team with six blings not named the Cowboys?

Well, my original plan was to root for the Ravens in the SB.

But someone decided to go and shank those plans to the left.

Yup. That's what I try to tell people here, but the majority don't agree.

Apparently!

But really: who cares? The Cowboys next opportunities to “win” are in free agency and the draft. At least they’ll pick higher than these inveterate NFC foes.

Giants are more rivals to us.

Go Meteor.

Wonder what they would do

if both teams slid into the ocean along with half of California? There must be a rule…

I can go for Stadium fail delay.

It is Candlestick.

Bangladesh has better fields

what an embarrassment.

im pretty sure the rule book states the following

“If the stadium that is hosting the NFC Championship Game is destroyed in any way at all then the NFC Super Bowl team bid will automatically go to the team that finished in 3rd place in the NFC East.”

Yep, thats it. Its pretty much official.

Who would throw the flag, with everyone in the ocean?
Going for 6-0 in playoff picks.
Who'd you pick

for this game?

Rena!

is that ice cream cake ready yet?

Yup, but I used to many ice cream sandwiches and had to run to the store for more for the 2nd one.

Took over 2 big boxes per. Plus all the coolwhip, chocolate sauce, caramel and butterscotch. Topped with sliced almonds.

What is this that you speak of? And why isn't it in a bowl, in my lap?
LOL, I told them on the last game thread, after it was over that I had to go make a couple of ice cream cakes to take to work in the am.
this is me right now

I could use a assistant to open ice cream sandwiches for me. Feel free to eat the leftoveres.
Stella!

Is that Rice a Roni ready yet?

Eli Loves wet balls!
Sadly

he loves Alan Ball even more….

Not as much as Reeves
Wet balls and duck butter
Draft Konz at 14
I hate 49er fans.

So i’m rooting for the Giants to get whooped in the SB.

too risky

Go Niners

At this point Ill take the Giants over SF or Brady winning another Superbowl
Hate to see eli get two and tony have 0
oh well, I'd hate Brady to be overrated even more as best ever with 4 Superbowls.

Or Niners to get 6.

Atleast the Giants make the division look better.

RIP Joe Paterno
+1 Happy Valley story...sad ending
There it is, tech difficulties.

Thank you, Candlestick.

Sigh

Can’t stand the Pats, and it would just feel foreign to root for the Giants, so I guess I have to go for the niner’s to win it all I guess.

I just threw up in my mouth a little…

x

Now that made me laugh
December 21 2012

Romo Goes Undefeated in December.

I got 49ers 17-14
Just noticed.......you and TheCowboyWay are twins

I want their line!!

i'll take their o-line,d-line, and secondary
oh yeah,and linebackers
mikellie

u r too funny! my eyes were watering so much i missed the ko

Theres the real Alex Smith

I’m really starting to dislike Cruz……

he should get rocked
one hit wonder.
Not that this changes anything

But he grew up as an apparently still is a huge Cowboys fan.

If Eli gets all day, this game won't be close.
Man

look at the time they are giving Eli. Wow

Eli looks like he should ride the short bus
Who was higher rated coming out Lee or Bowman?
Dallas had em rated equally
The Cowboys scouting department is pretty good...the GM just needs to stick to the board...like in the last 2 drafts.
Dallas gave em both first Rd grades
I think they had Lee rated @ 15

think Bowman was somewhere around 20

Either way they were both rated as 1st rounders.

In the AFC Championship game...the Ravens changed up their run blocking schemes in the 2nd half because they weren't effective...

…I never saw Houck change our O Line blocking schemes with adjustments…here’s hoping that will change with Callahan.

Cowboys and Chargers two of the worst teams at making second half adjustments
I don't understand how all these elete QBs are coughing up the ball today.
and last week.

Any given sunday. Wish the Cowboys would of got in.

I think back to the first NYG game. One completion away from getting in.
or pats game or jets or lions or cards... sigh.
Yup. It actually shows that we are not that far away.

Not that we don’t need an upgrade to the OL, DL, and DBs. But sometimes one or two players can make all the difference.

If I am SF's DC I will be chewing ass on the sidelines

Great job stripping the ball but it is still live and I see players already signaling 1st down. Fly to the ball until the whistle blows. That showed a lack of situational awareness.

Fly to the ball til the Ref has it in his hand!

Whistle or no Whistle. Replay changes it all .

VERNON F’N DAVIS!!!

And the Smith-Romo debate just gone in Alex’s favor……

Dear God

I hope this is a joke.

I’m not kidding, there are Niner fans who keep telling me this.

and they are idiots and you shouldn't talk to them.
Are you seriously suggesting

That you believe Alex Smith is a better quarterback than Tony Romo – because Niner fans told you so?

HELL NO!!!
Just making sure.

That would seem very inconsistent with what I’ve seen from you before. Forgive the insinuation, my bad.

And besides that – it just isn’t true.

those db's quit fast
that's 15 dumbass
After picking in the top 10 (hell, the top 5) the better part of the decade, the Niners should be pretty good.
Same route that Delanie Walker beat Spencer on

NO. FUN. LEAGUE.

C'mon...if you get to the end zone...act like you've been there before.
that was a bs penalty, c'mon!

those rules are so unnecessary

play by the rules
The 49ers have one legit recieving threat which is Vernon Davis. Should probably cover him.
Michael Crabtree, and Delanie Walker are under rated
What about Crabtree.
Bust? or "Bust-like"?
crabtree is great

not a lot of passing in SF the last few years.He also battled a foot injury throughout his career

You didn't see all his drops last week?
I did and saw him throughout his collegiate career

one bad game and his qb is alex smith

I see.

You make good points.

I am also a texas tech homer
that wasn't the only game in his career that Crabtree had a case of the dropsies.

i don’t care who your qb is, if he gets you the ball, it hits you in the hands, and you don’t catch it – it’s still your fault.

go 9ers

Even though I dislike Harbaugh. I like (cough) Coughlin though.

The difference between Alex Smith and Tony Romo

49ers have a substantially better defense

Wow. He clearly stepped out of bounds.
Ed Herculeus and his long winded explanations. Anything for more camera time.
Vernon Davis.

I want one of those.

Jason. Witten.

and he's smarter
You got a better one of those...his name is Witten...
I care so little about any of the teams left in the playoffs...indifference sucks...
I root for enviromental hazards

why is that a penalty on davis but its not when the packers jump into the stands after every play?

Exactly.

If the leap is allowed, everything’s fair game. Just don’t let them score.

There it is.

The leap is Grandfather exemption’d

thats a bunch of crap. grandfathering in a celebration…im really about to stop caring about the nfl

Just don’t let them score, if they burn you, it’s fair game.

what are you even talking about

Celebrations

You want to stop them from doing that, DO. NOT. LET. THEM. SCORE.

Sorry guy, im not playing in the nfl. Not anything i can do about it. i personally dont like the celebration but as far as making them penaltys i dont know if i even agree with that. HOWEVER if you do have a penalty in, enforce it for everybody.

So I ended up Betting against the 9ers ......
WHAT??

Who told you to do that???

Prepare to cash in.
Alex Smith can't score with the Giants...the key is the Giant's defense...
So far this post-season has taught me

Dallas needs to draft:
1) Guard
2) NT
3) OLB
4) DBs
5) TE to make defenses pay for taking away Wittenberg
6) Center

Damn IPAD it's Witten

i like wittenberg.

like an iceberg, slow but consistant

He looks like a Wittenberg
Improve both lines for the Cowboys and you'll see marked improvement...

And a not dead Romo.

Romo had a 102+ QB rating with a sh*tty line...what could he do with a competent one?

…also a consistent pass rush would do wonders for the secondary…

I was thinking about that earlier today.
The thing about the Niners is that they play good fundamental football...
Yup

Run the ball .. check
Play great defense .. check
Beef up front .. check

Protect the football...check; force turnovers...check
They don't necessarily play great...they just don't play badly...they let other teams make the mistakes...

Oh NOW Nicks goes down……

We have no hard hitters. We're a softy Neiman Marcus bunch
Look at the way 25 makes a legitimate tackling attempt at Hynoski...
I chuckled when I read Roger Craig predicted a Niners dynasty...
defensively, they look really good

I think we will see their offense is a fluke. on the other hand, they have tons of young OL talent that may pan out soon.

Exactly...as much as Alex Smith is getting his @ss kissed...he's JAG...and their receiving corp is just OK...
we could of had Hynoski, but NOOOOOOOOOOO
Hynoski hasn't been anything special
better than the jag we drafted
We signed Fiametta
because our draft pick couldn't cut it, Hynoski is starting his rookie year as an UFA
JACOBS MISSED
tackled just short
The Giant's running game is in transition...
From good to crap
except against the Boys
I hate the 49ers

But I also looooove watching Brandon “Little Softie” Jacobs fail.

Haha

Stop tryna get cute 9ers.

Dear Tebow that throw was UGLY!!

Why

Didn’t we sign dashon goldson? We’ve needed a s for years and we settle for Elam and sensabaugh? Wow…

I think Goodson is a fa this yr
Damn IPAD it's Goldson
playing in a swamp
Think about it...has Romo ever had a good O Line?

Last one I can remember is 07. F*ckin Eli…..

2007
Until the second Eagles game
Was the line good...or was it all Romo? I'm thinking Romo.

At least that line gave Romo a chance to be Romo.

No, Romo took a lot of risky throws that paid off to make the line look good.

This year, he finally admitted what he has been doing that all along…trying to make up for the short comings of others…and compounding the problems…how good would Romo be if he was allowed to play within himself?

Oh that’s easy, He’ll be what they called an “Elite QB”.

Guard and Center...

Wait, I’m confused now.

No confusion...improve the interior of the Dallas O Line...i.e. no more in your face pressure on Romo...

…and the Dallas O will be impossible to stop…

Improve Spencer’s position…and the D will look much better…

So basically, the answer to your question is still Epic Romo.

Epic Romo?

If you’re referring to the fact that Romo is still the best chance to go to the Superbowl? Then, yes. The strength of the Cowboys is their Offense…and the reason their O has been so good in the past 5-6 years is Romo.

Yes he’s still our best chance.

Wait he admitted that. Wow, I knew he was doing that. That's a Ballsy thing to do.

Captain Cajones…..

Balls are jealous of his Balls
Mine are jealous of his

Yes, Alan Ball is one of those jealous ones.

And even then they collapsed in the playoff game.
never

that’s the reason statue bledsoe was benched in the first place

Who was the poor bastard that backed him up again?

Carly the accountant from these visa SB commercials is HOT!!
This game needs Madden and Summeral

Do you know what this game need? Brett Favre.

I really am starting to dislike Cruz….

one hit wonder.
I just don't thing Alex Smith has another Saints game in him...
Doesn't have to.

He’ll just have to Dilfer it.

True, but are you saying the Niners D is as good as the Raven's 2000 D?

I’m saying that the Defense is the reason they’ll win this.

So if Eli and co scores just like that, they’ll probably win.

Well, if they win it will be beacause of the Defense...I just think the Giants Offense is playing at a higher level...

…I hate to write this…but Eli has been playing at a much higher level…

He had that big TD pass to davis
Jesus how many Giants fans made the trip?
Niner fans aren't good bout filling up their

Stadium with their own fans.

it's a rough game foe the people in SF
This Giants offense has to be the most successful run and shoot offense Gilbride has had

Aside from the Warren Moon Oilers

screw the Egg McMuffin. This site is the Sausage McMuffin of Sports Blogs
The McGriddle is the greatest achievment since landing on the moon!!!
Nah that's the Big Bufford from Rally's/Checkers
I'll have to try one.
Egg McMuffin > McGriddle
you my friend

are out of your mind.

breakfast sucks

I’d rather eat lunch!

lmao! won't argue with you there. but I do prefer a McMuffin...
I agree Jake, I can't stand McGriddles, love a Egg McMuffin.
stick to your ice creame cake lady!
LOL
I want some cake
Have 2 of them, just waiting for someone to dig in.
I don't like my ice cream getting into my cake.

Cake = warm moist
Ice = cold, um not moist?

Bear Pascoe is a former 49er
Eli singing " tiiiime is on my side...

yes it is… and my front and my other side

Dumb Face had forever to throw. C'mon Niners, it's making me sick to root for you.

At least make it worth it.

I love the fact you call Eli dumb face. You despise him as much as I despise Joe Flacid.
I can't stand him.
Keep in mind I hate every NFC East QB not named Romo.
You know, Eli actually looks a lot like Payton thru the face.
Except Peyton looks like someone is home.
Because Payton keeps his mouth closed.
Eli is the Gump of the family
I don't think he's stupid. He just looks it.
He talks like a Gump
They killing 49ers on 3rd

How the hell does Eli keep getting those conversions…

Luck

He’s talking to the wrong Manning.

I've never seen anything like it.
3rd Down Conversion Rate that is significantly out of proportion

With 1st and 2nd down conversion rate is luck.

I invented

A drinking game out of it

When big brother has all the time to watch and evaluate your tape

And basically act as your QB coach you will get pretty good

That would help.
Look what big brother has done for Andrew Luck's college career.

He has attended and worked at Payton’s QB camp since high school every year.

I didn't know that.
Yes, Peyton runs a QB camp for high school and college QB's every summer

Luck has attended and been a counselor for the last 7 or 8 years.

Heard about the camp, never really looked into it or who was attending.
Romo does one in Wisconsin every year also
Anyone we know from cfb attend?
Mostly high school players attend.
Now that I hadn't heard.
Its funny that you say that about him helping Eli this year

I 100% believe that. I was telling a friend of mine that and he told me i was just being an Eli hater. I really wasn’t. It just makes too much sense. I’m sure they were watching film together, going over game plans, etc….

Yup and mechanics too
I knew that about Luck
Ive been saying that for a while. No one believed me!

Thanks BD, I knew it was true!

One of the worst kept secrets in the NFL

But to Peyton’s credit, he is one hell of a coach. I have gone out for 2 camps to learn training routines and drills. The guy is amaizing.

That has got to be interesting to watch.
He's got an awesome fake mustache in his commercials.
Yeah, the left side isn't stuck down.
Oh I bet.

Ill fight tough and nail forever that is he better than Brady and the best EVER. Sad to see his carerer coming down to this though.

He will have first dibs to any coaching job he wanted I am sure. ESPN/FOX/CBS would kill each other to get him on their side.

I hope he does SNL more haha.

That United Way Peyton Manning SNL skit was hilarious
He has to do more SNL!

Him and JT work great togther too.

Has Peyton Manning ever made a bad commercial? SNL was pretty good too...
With his contract why even do them?
Because it is never enough with those greedy bastards.
If his playing career is over...he's gotta make money elsewhere...guy is a great pitchman...
The cash he has pulled in the last 15 years he doesn't need to ever work again, or his kids.

Hopefully he works in the booth not named ESPN.

His Sony one where he was dressed in aluminum foil

was pretty bad.

the best ever one was sprint

Laser Rocket Arm

i have to go with

“CUT THAT MEAT! CUT THAT MEAT! CUT THAT MEAT!”

How many Giants did he just bull over and carry?

The whole line.

that was just dumb
Ok, that was pretty stupid by the niners WR.
Davis is hurting his team
30 yards cost by davis

gotta be smarter than that

Vernon davis is soo stupid

he hurts his team almost as much as he helps them

I'd rather have him than Marty B
rather have tebow than marty b at te
I'd rather have myself on the team than Marty b or tebow
Me too. F**k Tebow.
Vernon Davis

73 yards receiving
30 yards in penalties

Came off the bench, should've been ejected
I didn't realize he came off the bench. Thought he had been on the field playing.
I tell you what. Folks think it's D that has separated the teams the last couple

of weeks. It’s been O lines, too. The O lines on these top teams are so freaking good.

Oh yeah, I am drooling.
Me, too. It makes me furious, too. What a waste of Romo's abilities.
That's why you give the edge to whoever wins the NFC in the Superbowl.

New England’s Defense kinda sucks…

+ 1
and mistakes

uncharacteristic play

Well, that, too. And credit the Ds.
still hit him in the hands
Tebow imitation.
This is a crazy decision.
Trying to pull them off. Bet they punt.
I wouldn't call either of these two teams

“disciplined” right now.

Wet field is prevent either DL from making an impact.

i was just thinking about that

the giants dline has pretty much been a non factor

The rains got nothing

on Victor Cruz. Hes the only guy on the field not slipping all over the place. Screw that guy.

the cb's that are covering him

just naturally fall down. All year long. Amazing.

one hit wonder
I don't know man

this is his second year, and he looks damn good

but

I do think we’re seeing a little Miles Austin 2009, where Cruz is making ridiculous plays he won’t make in future years

exactly.

Like the 99yder etc

one hit wonder

Can't really hate Cruz...his whole family are Cowboy's fans...

Must suck to be the Black sheep now.

Cruz was a Cowboy's fan his whole life...can't blame him for not getting drafted by the Boys...

Remember how Von Miller was hovering around the Cowboy’s staff at the combine hoping to get interviewed?

Too bad we had bigger holes to fill. Love Tron though.

The Cowboys never had a chance at Von Miller.
I shouldn't say this, but it makes me feel a bit better that we lost in week 17 to the NFC Champion.
WET GRASS!!

OH NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!

why do i laugh so hard

every time i hear somebody say NOM NOM NOM

Lots of beer?
not this time.

No beer tonight. I mean, of course I have beer. Just choosing not to drink any tonight.

Nice. Dumb Face goes down. That makes me happy.
ELI sacked. YES!
Is the reason the Niners are in the Championship game because Harbaugh is that good or that Singletary sucked that bad?
how about the guys added in between

Bowman and Rogers and Whitner took that D to another level.

Offensively, the OL is getting better with the young promising rookies, but Harbaugh probably deserves credit there

It's also pretty helpful to have 6 easy games every year...
the pats won 3 championships that way
they beat the Giants and Eagles...

and pounded the Steelers, which hardly anyone does.

That D is legit.

Harbaugh kept the defense the same, but really helped develop the offense

Under Nolan and Sing it was Gore running dives on first and second down, and get pissed at Alex when he couldn’t bail em out on 3rd an long. Harbaugh understood that QB needs to get in rhythm early so he can get confidence.

Defensive minded meat heads like Nolan and Sing tried to recreate the 1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens.

Harbaugh added some serious talent to that D

Again, Bowman and Rogers are nothing to scoff at. Rogers has been an elite corner this year and Bowman looks real good

I'm not disagreeing
I wouldn't call Rodgers elite...let's not go crazy here...he's had a great year...but "elite"? No.
yeah no way elite

It’s a word that’s been tossed around.

this year he was

check KC Joyner

I credit him for making Smith a not lost cause.

Coaching makes a difference..."belie dat"...

Harbaugh’s probably the only guy that had the confidence to say Alex get out there.

He honestly didn't have a choice...

But still, he did though.

that offense is only going to get worst next year unless they do some major moving.

Smith won’t get better, if anything he’ll regress back.
Gore another year older and more beat down..
WRs… they have those?

They’ll build on Crabtree, plus Smith is the QB.

Crabtree? Seriously?

Who else do they have beside Vernon?

Uhh...I think they need to draft someone...I wouldn't bet all my marbles in Crabtree...

That works too.

um like I said they need some major help
I will and do "believe dat"

but i will under no circumstances what so ever “belie dat”. Aint gonna happen. I refuse.

I'm calling it right now

that it won’t last into next year

Well obviously.

Of course they show that…..

alex smith is too eager to take off
Yeah

he had space to throw just by stepping up. Bad move to take off.

Jimmy's hair might get wet. The hairspray might come out.
Hairspray?

That is the same varnish they use on outside decks in Florida

Cruz is a nice guy! stop hating!

when I met him he gave me props for my Witten jersey

He’s one of those that I have to because of the Jersey, that’s it.

This 49ers teams reminds me of the 2002 Bucs
Its like Cruz is the only guy whose shoes have traction.
Manning must be getting

5 seconds to throw. Must be nice…

wet field

Giants aren’t pressuring smith much either

But also good pass protection

just like the last four games they played.

the last 4

at least 3 were incompetent pass rushes (Jets, Cowboys, Packers).

Both Ds are handicapped by the wet field right now. They are normally flying around the qb.

How come every team can make adjustments to a beat up line to protect their QB, but we can't?
we have all the time every year.

JG is a master at calling plays to compensate. Our line is that bad

No...JG stayed to "loyal" to Houck...for too long...
2012

Cowboys 13-3
Skins 10-6 (if they get a QB like RG3 or Flynn)
Giants 9-7
Eagles 6-10

you're way off

Cowboys go AT LEAST 14-2

Smoking some peyote are we ham?
nope, just watch
19—0, Dallas baby!
the oline coach didn't have anything to do with it

just a lack of talent in my opinion. Same thing with Dave Campo. I don’t care if Vince Lombardi was the secondary coach. Our secondary would have still sucked.

I'm going to respectfully disagree here...I'm not saying there is great talent...just saying we din't adjust well.

Go watch the JG introduction of Callahan…get saying how Callahan will improve run blocking…

i get your point

i just dont think you can turn a turd into gold. But, then again, i am watching the flippin 49ers in the NFC Championship.

Rest my case...
but SF wasn't void of talent.

They have 3 first round picks on the oline.

Staley, Davis, Iupati,

Then they have 1st rounder vernon Davis, Crabtree, and Smith. Not to mention the defense that has 1st rounds like Rogers, Whitner, Willis, Justin Smith, that rookie from Mizzu who’s name i cant think of right now.

Point is, they have tons of talent. Our oline doesnt and our secondary doesn’t

He tried to find someone last off season when he took over as HC.

Like he tried to find a OL assistant.

Wes Phillips?
Nah, they tried a couple of outside guys.

Trying to remember if 1 was Bruce Smith?

bad bad pass by Eli there
where the hell is the pass rush?
i really freakin hate

that every person with a “u” or an “OO” in there name gets there name chanted like its original or something.

Cruuuuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzz or Coooooooooley. Just sick of it.

It should have died with Mooooooooosssssseeeeeeeeeee.

There will always and forever be just one Moose
They broke the mold after him.

Remember those huge shoulder pads he had?

His shoulders were wider than mine when I was wearing shoulder pads and he did not have any on
WOW, that is big, no wonder.

I always thought they made them over sized to intimidate or something.

Well you can see mine in my profile pic

I was not the most intimidating player in college

I had never looked up your profile.

Retired military huh, maybe you are close to my age. LOL, I had assumed for no good reason in particular that you were probably younger than me.

careful BD

she’s a fed. And she’s “packin”

...meat
Ok, I am not touching that. :P
you're no fun

booooooooooooo

I haven't been drinking either.
now that deserves a really big

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THATS RIGHT!!! ALL CAPS BABY!!!

I tried to get her to interview for an assistant position.

Still need to talk with bigham once I am back home

If I didn't have a good govt job I would have jumped on it.

Kinda regret not going for it, but I can’t toss away a good paying job with top benefits.

There's that whole clumsy "retirement" thing.
Yeah. $60k a year, 3 weeks vacation, 2 weeks sick a year.

All the insurance, retirement accounts, pension…Being a adult sucks sometimes.

being an adult is totally overrated
I agree.

I was sledding with my 4 year old today, and I soooooo wanted to be that age again.

Yeah, I can beat the salary and probably insurance

Vacatiion and sick time have to be taken in 1 hour increments.

Probably when you are stacking out hotels? :)
Ah Yes, draft prospects be warned

When you attend these bowl games and the combines. There are 32 NFL teams who employ a ton of people to stake out your hotel and every night spot in town.

I volunteet to watch the night spots
hahaha

volunteet.

how about volunteer

Did you already hit the night spot
Who do they use?

Private eyes? Retired cops?

They use a combonation of scouts, off duty and retired police and PI's.
was moose the first?

As a cowboy fan I always believed he was but wasn’t sure if that was just my cowboy bias. I’m wondering if some of the older fans remember that happening with any other player in the nfl before moose.

I dont remember anyone else

but it may be just because I wasn’t paying attention. My football world pretty much revolved around the Cowboys.

In my opinion Moose was the first
An O line and a freaking WR that catches everything. HATE.

Great foot work, Eli.

Why the

f do teams not cover V cruz???

It's the same reason teams don't cover Laurent Robinson in the end zone...
Because then Dumb Face will stand back there for an hour and wait for Nicks to come free.
Victor Cruz is crushing it.

Is anyone else baffled by every team’s inability to cover him?

Although, the Niners are attempting to match Rogers up on Cruz, so I can’t say I’m surprised by his production so far.

he probably deserves some credit

Rogers was one of the best 3 cbs in the nfc this year.

Somebody better get that man an IV
How much are they going to complain about Eli not knowing he was out of time outs.

Now the FG team was running out while Eli needed to stop the clock.

I was stirring soup. What happened?
Eli tried to call a time out and they didn't have any. Delay of game penalty.

Then after the next play the FG team started running out on the field to try and kick fast before he got the snap to spike the ball.

Oh, brother. I'm sure we won't hear a peep about how stupid he is.
Eli isn't Romo, So I think he's safe from the backlash...
where is cundiff when you need him?
I'd settle for Suisham or Jose Cortez blowing it
Cortez

only if we get to see Larry Allen drag him off the field by his facemask.

I'll admit that although Cruz is a beast, no one saw this coming

He was the #2 his senior year, the #1 is a WR on the Chiefs with 1 catch all year.

Yeah, him I'll give it up for. As much as it makes me sick.
What gives me hope is that Callahan had choices...yet he comes to our team...
This game is going as expected. Eli is just too damn good. I gotta lot of 49er pals, so I hope the

Giants win.

They can't give Eli all day to throw
The Gian't run game has taken a Giant step back...seriously? 1 yard to go?...and you don't get it?
Yup

49ers D does that to everyone

they were ranked dead last in the league pretty much all year

SF run defense ranked 1st

Not this year...

it hasn’t been dependent.

This SW Airlines commercial is hilarious
On a side note...I'm seriously considering getting a Prius...50mpg is too tempting at these gas prices...
Had a friend that got one 4 years ago, she loved it.
Never thought I would ever consider one, but 50mpg...
I wish I lived in a city

Cars are overrated! SUVs and leasing and the need to get a new car payment every 3 years is helping to kill(ed) America

Hey, I love my SUV.

Course it is a baby one. Had to get rid of my pickup for work. ./cry
But I tend to keep mine for 5 or 6 years.

I won't get started on the hunks of steel severely inefficient things we call cars. haha
Actually my baby SUV gets better gas mileage than my Ranger did. Quite a bit better.
You still gotta have transportation...
Who says you have to buy (or lease) a car every 3 years?

I bought my 1987 mustang used in 1989 and have had it ever since.

Thank you.

2002 dodge Ram, I’ll drive forever. Even though I hate it.

most people do where i live.

you are the exception easily.

Meh, yugos got more than that and that was nearly 25 years ago

and they were dirt cheap.

They are nice on the interior though, the outside is ugly as hell.

Yugos were death traps...Prius, not so much...
you got me there
what are those tiny ass little bitty cars that i see from time to time?

They look like they have been cut in half. If you ever got in an accident in one of those things you would die for sure.

I love my VW TDI ... diesel
Wtf was Alex doing?
jumping?

Not sure why

He's forgetting that he's playing a defense better than the one the Saints had...
Michael Crabtree blows.

Sorry to you Red Raiders out there.

Giants are going to win this thing...

…by a couple of touchdowns or more before this thing is through.

Nice come on 9 ers
iupatu owned his man there
Well its been fun

I am out of here!

Can’t wait for March 3rd ish!

Later ham
Can't wait for June 1st.

See you T-Old

Kendall Hunter will supplant Gore as starting RB in 2012
Lol yea right

Hunter is not a full time NFL back… He’s a situational player… That would be a huge mistake

this game reminds me of rockem sockem robots
Ugh, ok, Ham has reminded me that it is getting late.

I need to go to bed also. Night guys. I won’t say be good. :P

Nite cake lady
Yeah, Smith, you ain't Romo. Tony would have completed that.
Yes he would've
To be fair to Alex Smith their wide receivers suck
In reality Romo makes our receivers look better that they are...look what he did for Robinson...
Tuck is a moron hahaha aha
The Giants are freaking stupid

both of these teams are playing really dumb ball

Ok ladies,

Its pick 6 time.

Cruz is MVP of the game
brandon Jacobs is so soft.

I don’t understand how he gets shoestringed all the time.

Shoestrung?
tackled at the feet
I was just trying to find the right tense :)
IF Eli throws that better

Jacobs becomes a truck barreling down on a cb.

Dez Bryant > Michael Crabtree

Oh no contest.

Yeah thats an absolute.

Crabtree is a bust IMO

Wasnt Crab the next big thing???
The next Calvin Johnson they say

I was off that boat when he held out.

And that is why the 40 is important
also why you should be wary of WR's playing in spread offenses
Exactly..
Dez Bryant > 80% of receivers in this league.
No intentional grounding?
That Ned is a lucky guy
This is the time when JPP becomes a monster....
A screen!

Eight at the best rusher! What a novel idea!

Rain prevents outside rushers from making too much of an impact

hard to turn when you can’t stop.

If the pressure is going to come, it will be from Tuck.

YUP the punter certainly felt it lol
Frank Gore, from DA |_| !

VD AGAIN!!

I said that after my last trip to the Phillipines.
Zing.

Did you make sure she wasn’t a he?

5 bucks is 5 bucks.

Ok bro, just warning you. I was born there.

Well, I'll shut up now.

Sorry if I offended.

Nah, it cool.

Ok good -

shouldn’t have said it, glad you’re cool.

GO NINERS :)

Vernon Davis is not allowed to celebrate anymore
why was Webster waiting

Till Davis caught the ball

Is Vernon Davis really...

that fast. He looks like a giant Victor Cruz. pun intended

Did you not see his combine in '06?

The guy dominated in Indianapolis. He is a freak.

I didn't. I remember reading about it, don't remember the specifics tho.

He is blowing by DB’s like they’re standing still. And that first TD he straight up outran every DB on the field. That’s just sick-nasty

4.38 40, 33 reps on the bench, 42 vertical

http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=10927&draftyear=2006&genpos=

Just read that again, myself.

That’s just redonkulous

I'm not sure there is a more athletic TE out there
Isnt he 4.4 on the 40??
4.38 at combine
and he weighs over 250 pounds
You would have thought after Novacek that teams would have caught on

Ir realy took Witten and Gonzales to change the game.

+1

now we’re seeing these athletic monsters coming around, and the nfl seems to have no idea how to cover some of these guys.

OK GMEN!! TIME TO PLAY FOR MY MONEY $$$ AND THEN CHOKE IN THE SUPERBOWL :)
Did you seriously bet on the Giants?

shonda!

Lol yea.. makes the game far more exiting
Crabtree's more interested in playing until he's got $ to start his fashion design business
and pair up with MartyB??? lol
My boy whose an eagles fan and covers the 49ers for CBS gave me that scoop. Hence the diva label during draft.
Good luck Bruce Carter

your job will be to deal with guys like Davis, Finley and Graham

Vernon Davis.....

I want one of those.

Dumb face take down!!!!

OH NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!

Ok the he*l with my money !! cry ShEli Cry !!!
I want some cakeOn the road to defeat
My IPad crapped there
LOL
Ok but I'll Gladly take my money too :)
We need Dontari Poe some way some how
ughhhh

Gore was wide open..

JPP making his presence felt even if he can’t get to the qb

Vernon Davis held badly there.
Remember he dont wear a star on his helmet.. therefore no flag
It seems like a marked change NFL wide

Regarding holding calls on the line. It seems that it has become blatant, that holding calls just don’t happen this year

NFL is the new NBA

No call that might slow down the offense even if the rules exist. (Traveling -what is that?)

Carry-over? Palming? What are they?
Smith needs to make himself bigge when he throws the ball
I feel like Smith doesn't keep his eyes down field as soon as he gets pressure in his face
That's been the big criticism of him for 6 years
He does seem gun shy and looking to just get the ball out
He's been better this yr
Eli gets away with one
Is terrell brown good?
Don't know, but he's from North Mesquite I've heard
Lucky Eli. Throws an easy INT that two 49ers drop
Taking down your own teammate
yeah sucks got hit pretty hard
Thats going to leave a mark
OOoo dang .... Poor guy got hit really bad...

Also ShEli got saved on that play . That was a sure Int..

I always think your name is "salsa88"

Probably bc salsa is delicious

Lol my ex called me like that ... Salas is my last name lol
The kid from Mesquite is down

To me that’s tne one redeeming factor of this game…that a kid from my hometown could play in the SB

maybe a concussion

he should be able to play for the SB

If only they were in it.
I wasn't watching. Did the Giants break yet another bone on someone?
nope. teammates collided going for an EASY pick
Thats something you can say about the Harbaugh brothers character

They will be one of the first on the field for a player of theirs.

the way it should be

I never got the term “player’s coach.” I mean, I understand what is meant. I just don’t get the concept. Shouldn’t all coaches be “player’s coaches”?

I think as a coach, you have to be demanding and at times tough

But you also need to have heart and care for your players. The one thing I have found is that players want honesty from coaches. And on top of it all, I think our new secondary coach put it this week. He did not care if a coach yelled at him, but give him answers and specifics on what to correct.

You're absolutely correct. I should have written:
Shouldn’t all coaches be "player’s coaches" to an extent?
Did Billy Cundifff present the AFC trophy?
Huh?
He gifted the Pats with the win.
Aw man.....

I was gonna leave it alone! :)

another td would be huge
six punts for each team

like two boxers puncing eachother into bloody giblets

Canty is still playing for the Cowboys!
Maybe that will fire them up.
2nd former Dallas Cowboys player still playing for their team today.
so far the two biggest blunders of the day belong to former Cowboys

Aint Even Mad Though

Canty and who else?
Billy Cundiff
oh right

lol.

I had another name for him when he was here. I just kept the first three letters and put a ‘t’ on the end.

Bilt?

Thats weird. Hey, to each his own.

Billy Cundiff
I heard it was Billy Cundiff.
Really, I heard it was Billy Cundiff
You're both mistaken. It was Bill Cundiff
William Cundiff. The Third.
Man Jack In The Box caters to potheads
back when they had a dollar menu and dollar sodas

pit stop there every night after hard drinking.

huh

not sure why its not linking but was trying to post the 99 tacos for 2 cents commercial
99 tacos...for $.02???

I must correct you, Jack in the Box seems to cater to me

Wish there was one around here then.
Lol. Where's here?
Salamanca, NY
Yeah Jack In The Box isn't there
Oh, good man.

I thought maybe I just couldn’t see it.

I live on an Indian Reservation.

We have a McDonald’s, Burger King, and just recently got a Tim Horton’s. That’s it!

Does Gore remind anyone else of Emmitt

Dude’s a Tank.

the way he cut to daylight
I like gore but he doesn't remind me of Emmitt. Ray Rice reminds me of Emmitt
a fire hydrant with legs

and never gives up

Lol

A fire hydrant.

Go for it 49ers
Rogers blows up screen
Nice Aldon Smith
So this is what sacking Eli Manning looks like.
So sad. So true.
PUNT THE BALL!
Well if you are bad for a long time you get to pick a lot of good player
this may get overturned

TD, Gmen

but you can't advance these, right?

so no td

and there it is
Oh my, if that's a Dallas returner, definitely Giants TD
Thats Giants ball all the way.

Dumb mistake

Sigh he touched it
Oh sweet baby jesus

don’t let this happen

If that was Dallas, Giants get the TD
if it was dallas

Garrett gets criticized relentlessly

Hail Timmeh, Full of Grace….

missed call takes away the TD at least
Why do returners do that
What happened? I'm not able to watch
The returner on a punt, after the 9ers forced a 3 and out,

hot the ball. Just run away. What a moron.

A naked woman ran out onto the field.
you smoking some good sh!t
Only the best.
Rick Astley is the new SB halftime show
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
that's rick roll

lmao

who's he
ever heard of "rick roll's" on youtube

he’s the guy who sings the song.

Here' an example:

Click on this link for a video of a POV video of a Shay Laren lapdance

Doesn’t work on me. I love this song.

Oh crap!

HE’S IMPERVIOUS TO THE RICK ROLL!

me too

i heard it way before youtube, when I was in grade school, but I always figured it was some soul singing black dude that didnt get that famous, it blew my mind when i found out that was a white dude, i dont know why but it just did.

lol I know *exactly* what you mean.

It’s like Amy Winehouse. I was certain before seeing her that she was a 300lb black woman. I freaked when I found out she was a white brittish crack wwwhhhhooooooo..arrrrggggggg

Lol, I have loved this song since it came out.
Someone blame Romo for this, quick!

It’s been, like 10 mins since he was blamed for something…he might as well be to blame for this ugly game

He is such a choker

He has infected the entire NFC East with chokeritis

ok good. thanks. i was starting to get nervous

He is also the reason for global warming, high oil prices, 9/11 and also the head of the trilateral commission

Mensa? its like seeing double
Dont confuse me for him

This is sarcasm text

Sorry Nick, just jokes is all.
This team can't win the big game. I'd like to believe in Romo, I just can't

How’s that for a Mensa imitation?

ew. you chased away all the sarcasm and all that's left is uggghhhhhhh
Here's my Chia imitation of being Anti-Romo

I’m tired of excuses. I want a Bus Driver QB. I want a QB from Division 1 from the Sec. I’m watching ESPN’s Year of the QB to see how Auburn and Wisconsin develop QBs, we need a new QB. I’m tired of Romo. I’m done talkin about him. I don’t want to hear anything about stats. Flacco doesn’t need stats he just wins.

lol
Here's McLovin9 for you

How’s Terry going to defend Romo today? Seriously, how can you still believe in him.

He’s too busy on his couch drinking his six pack of miller light. You Romo sychophants.

oh boy.

I still wan to slap him for this

He’s only like that when Romo does screw the pooch, though.

McLovin 9 and Mensa Immitation

See that Alex Smith scramble, he’s clutch. Romo would just turn it over. Go ahead and defend him Terry.

How can you people believe in him. 6 years is plenty of time.

You're killing it LOL
crazy never to be heard from game day poster

Hahahah another Romistake. Bring in Kitna, he won 5 games last year, this defense is SB caliber.

I do not post during the game.

I don’t know how you can.. and still pay attention.

During stops in action I read and post
During stops in action I stomp around

and pace.

Wow, great secondary play
That does not compute.
Haha

May we see it in Dallas sometime soon

stupid

corner blitz from rodgers… ON THE SIDE ELI FACES… and it took him a loooong time to get there

Now the Giants got 'em where they want 'em

1st and 20….watch, fade to the endzone td

missed inf call
Someone mention Rick Astley?

http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=XZ5TajZYW6Y

Wow Joe Buck got excited for that TD
what is with

the giants luck man

lame duck pass for a td
Any pass for a TD is a good pass.
Sorry, look at the vision and mechanics he showed

I loved watching both him and Romo this year. They have both progressed so much

Dont disagree

Was just commenting on the fact that they seem to get the breaks and lucky bounces that Dallas is most often denied.

Seriously, They better suck next year because I think they sold their souls this year.

Ugh. Awful D. And that guy had to have my name, too!
Eli TD pass

I look at the mechanics and throwing motion of Eli today. He has made such great progress.

He has played like a champ nearly all year. Definitely on his game

Excuse me, I’m going to go throw up now

You have to love the Cowboys first

But love football no matter where it is played

Yessir.

What’s not to love about the game of inches?

Luckiest team on the face of the Earth ever

Jerry gave them the Devil’s phone number.

DERP face TD
Are you streaming the game?
Alex Smith does not want to waste the best season of his career
because he may not get another one
And Eli does?
No, but Eli has a lot of good seasons ahead of him

Alex Smith is riding his career high…it’s never going to get better than this

I didn’t just read that, right?

Eli just had his best season of his career also. Right?
Do you expect Manning love here?
Hell no!

But, I give credit where it’s due. He kicked our ass twice this year.

Well our secondary.

Like that was difficult against our D.

I just never thought that that sentence could ever be uttered.

if the giants make the super bowl

i may not even bother to watch it…..

Smith can do what Eli doesn't
seems like the giants

DB’s are so hesitant to tackle.

Reminds me of something.

Gerald Sensabaugh's comments?
hesitant, a nice word for chickensh!t
Can they dial up any more gimmicks?
WTF were those 3 plays?
didn't you know sf picked up our offensive game plan for this game

You’re move, ELIte.

oh crap

Eli gets the ball with 5 mins left in the 4th quarter…

Any doubts to the outcome?

Bleah... a Pats Giants SB may have me yearning for more Tebow coverage in the media

He’ll be a special guest play-by-play guy.

please, no more
Cmon, Pull a play out of the madden playbook I like to call

F*ck it I'm goin deep

WR’s and TE run in straight line towards end zone, QB sprints twenty yards backwards and chucks it up at whoever looks most open.

Repeat until you score, Then go for two, then go for onside kick -

Success!

Sexy Rexy, is that you?
x

Love the Redskin version of this!
That is the best article ever.

Hopefully what happened next year after that year happens again.

*sighs.. that Ravens' loss hurts me a lot. idk..

out of all the 4 teams remaining, I wouldn’t mind them winning the SB. ack

Romo would’ve made that throw. Wait, HE DID

Rogers is going to fake a blitz pretty soon and bait Eli into an INT

says Magic 8-ball

Oh, how I would love that.
I get the feeling the 49ers are working a long game
Being as old as I am my memory is fuzy

After the last Giants and Niners NFC game, didn’t the Cowboys start a dynasty run the next season.

YOu ain't old

And your memory ain’t fuzzy!

Thanks Nick

But my body does sound like a bowl of rice crispies when I wake up in the morning.

Just in the morning?

man I sit in a chair to long and it sounds like the 4th of july when I go to stand up

When I do my run in the morning my knees give this perfect "Crack POP" all the way
Ha

Well at least you can still run… The joint in my knee locks up cuz of a nerve in my back… Best I can manage is what I call the hobble skip…

I still try and do 3 miles each day

Thank god for moitren and aleve.

cyclobenziprine, percocet, vicoden, prescript ibprofren, and some other sort of nerve damage crud

History does repeat itself.

I think the Skins won the next one.

But the Boys started the season after that.

sorry BTB, but I just got here.. who are we all going for in this game again?

Meteor.

Earthqua- Nah. Meteor
No earthquakes.
he was going to say,

“earthquacks”, I’m sure of it

You have been consistent.
The Niners. *retch*
silly question

what are you going to ask next is the world round?

Seems as if the majority (myself included)

Are pulling for (not to) the Giants.

An early 2012 apocalypse
I sort of stop caring after the season ends

It’s either this or Downton Abbey.
I root for a good game and for the winner to make the Cowboys look good somehow. Also, the more the Giants win, the lower their draft pick is… and I believe the harder their following schedule is.

things id rather do than watch pats-giants super bowl

put my d*** in a loaded mousetrap
ja** off with sandpaper
lick a cactus
start hoarding cats

at the same. time.
Don't f this one up
I would give $10,000 to punch Joe Buck in the mouth......just saying
i'll do it for free
plz get a touch down niners

a field goal and you prob lose… I couldnt stand another Giants – Pats sb

Hard to believe these are the 2 best teams in the NFC
49ers

can make a legit claim to #2

Giants….. not so much

They’ve been hot though, I’ll give Eli that.

GB or NO would have the best chance against NE
of course, but

as it is, GB is undoubtably the best in NFC with the saints/49ers dueling it out for #2

I'm not quite following your logic

The best team in the NFL is the one who wins the superbowl.

The best team in a conference is the conference champion.

1. Giants
2. 49ers
4 (tie) Saints, Packers
6 (tie) Falcons, Lions

How about this logic

The best team doesn’t always win. Just look at the AZ game and the first NYG game. We had those games won, just like Baltimore had their game won. One play doesn’t make the winning team the best.

???

the best team DOES always win … that’s what makes them the better team! How else could you judge a faceoff other than by the team that… wins?

One play? That doesn’t make sense. The game is full of plays, each one full of opportunity and meaning. The team that steps up and makes the most big plays, wins. And therefore is better.

I certainly don’t want to be a bad guest and argue, so I’ll leave it at that. We probably just grade teams by different criteria. Me, I’ll take the winner, and say that’s the best team (that day), 100 times out of 100.

NFC west helped SF
screw the Giants' front 4
oh and to add to my list above..things id rather do than watch a pats-giants sb

squirt lemon juice in my eye
slam a car door on my di**
make love to a 700 pound woman

that way i am blind then my private is numb

so i dont feel or have to see the ugly 700 pound woman

Sounds painful
I guess your saying

that you’ll be watching the game then?

Sad to say but its Eli time. He's been a beast in the 4th qtr this year.

OH NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!!

whew

good d line play in this game

Yep

and that’s why NO and Green Bay are at home.
And why I hope the Cowboys draft DeCastro and sign stud FAs along their D Line.

A ray of hope shines...

Lost the BALL!!! CHALLENGE CHALLANGE!!!

D*mn cant challenge forward progress what bs

More

BS giant luck

I love this 49ers defense. Very envious
Wow really refs? Why did you blow the whistle so quickly?
Blatant hold again

Can they challenge that?

Of course the Giants get the bloody call.
Man...bad call.

They let the Cowboys go backwards 5 yards without calling forward progress on a fumble like that

Can't challenge forward progress
Maybe the spot, but that's not going to help
refs so quick to call forward progress
That was a fumble!
they never ruled that "forward progress' crap, when RW was getting dragged 6 yards back to eventually fumble

still pisses me off to this day

refs decided not to give GMen the old Roy Williams treatment
of course not, no star=no screwjob.

Wish the NBA would follow this logic.

Shut up Perreira
He's right...but damn be consistent with the call

Is he unleashing the Dragon?

push-off much, cruz?
If that was Gerald in coverage, or Elam, PI
Wow see that push off....no call
it should be illegal to have to work on mondays

i wish they would let us work 4 days a week ten hour days

shut up, joe BUCK. can't stand him..
madden needs to come back

at least when he didn’t make sense, it still made you laugh

GO GO ALEX SMIFFFFFF
crabtree is worse than Solomon Wilcotts at Wr
Crabtree is worse than my mom at WR
man, Alex Smith?!?!?!?! this guy....
Gawd, these guys can't freelance.

No wonder Al Davis picked Heyward-Bey.

alex smith just realized whats at stake and

crapped his pants……more morphine more moprhine hurry hurry

Morphine?

Whats this?

wow, Alex Smith is garbage...

Alex Smhit……

Wasnt that the movie that

Kathy Bates showed her goods in??

probably as bad as Alex Smith…

kathy bates has "goods"

I think that’s all bad, personally

That should be a question
kathy bates has “goods”???
Well they are "goods"

very bad nasty “goods”… but still “goods”…

nooooooo

Eli time…

Yep. Dude deserves the accolades now. *sigh*
Why couldn't the Saints be in the NFC Championship? Now the Giants will go to the Bowl
nfl is rigged

and since jerry jones f***** rodger goodels daughter we are screwed

There’s still you know who.

Satan?

Well he is the coach.

He just won the Collegiate National Championship.

Not that Satan the one in the Pros.

Alex Smith is OMG bad!!!
A bloody hour.
I really don't wanna change my sig.
LOL

I just read it for the first time

lol

The guy is very lucky. Talented, yes. But luckier than a lot of better qbs

NO FREAKING HOLDING??!!??!?!?!?!?
WHY. HOLDING!
O-line horsecollars the D-line, no call
If the Giants win, it's fitting Eli drives in the closing minutes

Smith is folding like lawn furniture

Oh thank you tebow
That was begging to be picked off
Eli playing tough.
The magic of Manning has blossomed late in this one
You mean the OL has blossemed late
x
Hasselbeck Matthew Hasselbeck
49ers 0-11 on 3rd down and still tied up 17-17 with 1 minute to go. Amazing.
smith is over on the sidelines recieving heavy does of meds

so that he is oblivious to whats going on

Jesus Christ Alex Smith sucks

I have a feeling if the Niners punch their ticket to Indy today they probably won’t make it very far.

that was the crappiest punt I've ever seen
well, besides the one to Djax last year

I guess that tops it. lol

Ok Alex. it's your chance at greatness
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell him that
it's uummmm, heh, whaaat? myyyy uh... chance at what?

can’t. swallow. heh. throat so dry. hands shaking

Please, let the Niners win this game please Tebow...

Jesus, Buddha, God, Satan, Cuthulu, anybody.

mayan sun god?
him, Vishnu, hell even Superman and Goku

I need everyone for this one, its bad enough the Pats are going again, please dont let the Giants go too.

Cthulhu smiley!!

^(;,,:)^

awesome 2 yard play
and way to stay in bounds

good strategy

idk why, but firefox doesn't like this pic...whatever it is
I'm on FF, and see it fine
reloaded. i see it now

and lol

Wonder if Niner fans wishes they got Romo instead.

a Niner fan told me

He’d rather have Romo.

or drafted Rodgers instead of Smith
Bad decision John.
Don't these people understand

That I don’t have time for this?

haha

if this OT explanation is as long as the last one, you may not have time to watch the rest of this game

I want an Alex Smith

Tebowesque moment here.

Then I’ll have to put up the mega forcefield defending Romo.

whatever you gotta do man.

JUST DO IT

damnit, I missed the FOX4 News. screw you, Giants and Niners
I like Gore's cape
It would go into overtime so Ed Hercules good give us a speech about overtime rules.

sigh plz no v cruz touchdown.

he looks hurt.
probably all those guys

praying to anyone who will listen a few posts up lol

49ers win game on safety
I'll try.

ELIte unleashes the Dragon.

I know how to defeat OT rules

Kiicking team on sides, recovers it, and kicks a fg

i thought of that.

but I think the other team would still be granted a possession, since they never technically had possession of the ball

hmm

Raise an interesting point, however the way it reads is that each team is guaranteed a possession… I do not believe that the kickoff counts as a possession… tho I could be wrong

I've had the rule explained to me, you can defeat it with onside kick
I asked Peter king this and he confirmed
Hey its David Beuhler!
Hey, looky. A touchback.

Just Throw it deep!!!

Patrick Willis is a monster
I feel like this is something a yehti would know with some level of expertise.
tis true
See? There you go.
That's twice they've screwed themselves out of an INT
49ers always have to collide and miss the INT.
No, Carlos Rogers

has los manos de piedre.

thats normally wen something bad happens

nope

How many "almost" INTS does Eli make in every game? Jeez
if it's not almost ints, it's circus catches from him WRs
about as many "almost" sacks as Spencer has per game....
Who is Gholston playing for?
It was the jets last I knew :)

Oh thank Tebow, patron saint of 4th quarter and overtime

how many punts

have there been between the two teams?

Niners D is really really good
What got into Rogers this year?
Some one tell that returner to run straight
wow, Alex Smith??????
Safety and onside kick kills the touchdown rule.

Better explain that next time Ed.

Thank you jeterian
Ha you remember.
I always remember

man what is wrong with smith, so many balls in the dirt

he is who he is
Great throw Smith

wow

Alex Smith on the run = SUCK
Smith sucking tonight
"both of these punters have been excellent"

lmao. not the kind of comment you expect to hear in a playoff game

if the Niners win, i'll call it luck

yeah that draw hasnt worked yet, so lets keep running it in over time

Nice play call not blocking PP
Giants will probably score here
possibly, field goals are game finishing now.

wow thats crazy that he makes so many bad throws and then puts a pass on a guy like that

he wsnt on ths run
Throws right into double coverage and doesn't get picked off.

Wow

4th best Qb in the nfc ladies and gentlemen
are the Niners really this good to make it to the NFC Champ. game?

just boggles my mind how they’re still alive

Alex Smith is the worst I've ever seen
Harbaugh wussed. He's playing not to lose. Or maybe he thinks his D will score.

crap they are close to fg range

This just in

Alex Smith really sucks.

When the Giants win this game, I wonder how much of that “Alex Smith can beat elite QBs” media shine will wear off?

wow what a hit

thought that would have went for 5 or 6 by hynoski

Willis is a beast
man i want Willis with a star on his helmet
never gunna happen

but i share this dream

yah its a dream

Closest we can get

yeah, about that....

he’s kinda….uhm….what we like to call “psychotic”

Slobber knocker
Goddamnit, did Alex Smith really have to pick the NFC Championship to start being Alex Smith?
he's been like that all year

Their defense,running game, and ST usually make up for it.

Patrick Willis 1st ballot HOF

Respect

+52
Always liked him.
should have traded our entire draft for him
Bad feeling the Giants win on this drive
yup
DeMarcus Ware, 1st Ballot HOF, don't forget
Good night everyone

Get to stake out a night club tonight in Mobile.

LOL

Have fun in da club

Unless the SF D scores, the Giants will win.
A lot of yall blaming Alex Smith their WRs arent getting open
Astute observation
If their wide receivers can go into the dirt,

then maybe it’s their fault.

omg wtf

refs cmon get off the giants d****

i wanna see the Niners win just cuz on Willis
Wait

What. I’ve never seen that call before

These 2 teams are playing at a level that Dallas hasn't seen in 15 years.
Hey I'm 16.

No wonder I’m confused by this game.

Absolute garbage

I agree!

Honestly, this looks rather familiar...
this game is over -sighs-
Eli got clocked!

Nom nom nom….

JUSTIN SMITH!

NOM.

Wow, good play by the SF D.

Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom!!!

D saved the game there
I STAND CORRECTED. SACK
Anyone who tells me Brockers will do what Justin Smith has already accomplished, GTFOH
I don't understand why

The giants are running long routes

Fumble. Game. Wow.

Luckiest team ever.

Captain Kirk's nipples.
game over

the giants win the pennant! the giants win the pennant!

Gave over on another lucky play for the Giants.
Well thats ball game
Nice

Just nice. Great way to lose the game niners. SO LOUSY

That's it.

The Giants sold their soul this year.

Should be an interesting Super Bowl
9ers don't deserve to win this game. flushing this thing down the toilet
yah they do

the PR doesnt deserve a job

Pats v Giants

The Gods have spoken

Ravens and Niners

Played the best games they could have played but had the worst luck at the worst time

Wow

They’ve been so lucky all year.

Nightmare come true

Pats Giants sb

It takes tons of luck too
Absolutely

The only things that are needed to win a Super Bowl are a competent QB and lots of luck.

We have the former, but the latter?

I think the team's ran out after the Hershel Walker trade.

That’s a life time of luck right there.

I would say when Jerruh passed on Moss.

that sux for the Niners D

and your cut!

they cant

he’s their best WR

A great man once said (might have been Moose):

Football is 20%, 80% luck.

Well, we also know that 90% of the game is half mental.

From the great John Madden

well expect the pats almost unbeaten season to be brought up

7348230823052385023485023840238523058235 times before the super bowl

that's it? thank goodness
If I was Kyle Williams teammate I would not sit anywhere near him

I wouldn’t even make eye contact with him

I would make fist-to-eye-contact with him
Obscene thing to happen after the performance by that SF D. The Giants offense

was beaten.

oops forgot to put quotation marks
2ns tine dude that that lost the game all by himself

niners dont get another shot if da giants score?

Only, if it’s a TD.

ok, i have a headache now
It bears repeating

Michael Brockers will not be Justin Smith

What also bears repeating is the Dallas d isn't close to either of these defense's.
both are true
I can't believe we're going to have to watch...

…the 9-7 Giants win the Super Bowl.

deja vu

am I 17 again?

you won't

the 12-7 Giants are going to the Super Bowl.

Luckiest team in the NFL.
Field conditions are terrible.

Maybe the cleats of Tynes get stuck in the mud.

Tynes.

Doesn’t have to come out.

If Eli wins two superbowls I'm going to shoot myself
if brady wins another

I am just gonna roll over and die

i can't stand another new england vs giants super bowl

great teams messed up by a bunch of incompetents, or a couple for that matther, williams and cundiff

Yeah, except Cundiff is awesome despite today's performance.
yeah, all pro last year

but today

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I hope they fumble.
Bring out the lonely kicker...
Where the hell is the Meteor?
delay of game

theres still time

need 3 more of them
And a personal foul
any time now, meteor
use the Romo slick ball!!!

At least the Pats can get my $100 bucks back from 2007.

Coughlin's face. LOL
In some parallel universe, the Cowboys are winning

/pets imaginary cat on lap
/Ok, the cat’s real

im gonna throw my cat against the wall after this fg

bring it on PETA

I was not impressed with the Giants in this game. Well, I'm impressed by their luck.

I’ve never seen anything like it.

Ever since Tyree’s BS Helmet.

Coughlin was like "Get away from me Eli, I'm working here"
miss it!
please

CTHULHU I BEG YOU

Should’ve prayed to Tebow instead.

Giants aren't lucky. They win because they are good.

Hats off to them. Great defensive game.

The guy muffed two punts. That's incredibly lucky.
this, and two GIFT interceptions to SF don't happen bc their DBs are too busy tackling each other.

IN-CRED-IBLE luck

Nah, their heart willed it.

that, and the horshoe stuck up Eli's ass
....

They ended up winning because of a fumble. I don’t know what you want us to say

He wants us to say that the Cowboys have no heart.
Let me put it this way:

The game was close enough in the final quarter where the final outcome was a coin toss. The Fumble was the only thing that separated the two teams. Giants are better than most other teams they faced…. not the Niners

Did you watch the game?

The second half was all 9ers. It was literally the bounce of the ball that determined this one.

I did watch it. The Gmen d up. It was a great game.

Congrats to the Niners for a great season.

I agree because they did what they had to do to win the game

And the Niners did not

it would be crazy

If he misses cuz of that 5 yd penalty

How much does Eli

pay Troy for his PR. Every other comment his how great Eli is. You’d hardly know there are 21 other players on the field.

yeesh...time to throw up.
2 games lost today by stupid mistakes
i'm gonna hate this SB
*sigh*

Well, this Super Bowl just got 20% less cooler.

If I’m being exceptionally generous with the percentages.

Im gonna need a new trash can

for all of this vomit

Football has sucked really hard for a long time now
GAHHHHHHH

time to go spend a bunch of money on alcohol and strippers to stroke my ego

Not just your ego.
harbaugh

Wasn’t as eager and excited during the handshake as he usually is.

well this is officially the worst super bowl I'll ever have watched.

heck I might not even watch it

BRADYDEMPTION IN 2 WEEKS !
They go on the road and win. Impressive.

Congrats to the Giants. You have to give it to them. They made the plays.

their punt returner is a moron

and cost them the game. lucky giants

Lucky patriots too for that matter
Actually it was a great strip by the guy who knocked the ball out.

Why is it so hard to give the other team credit ?

Because

In 4 simple words: It Is The Giants.

They won. It is what it is. I hate the Giants....

but they won on the road. They manned up. Dallas doesn’t do this kind of thing. I think that makes you angrier than the Giants actually winning.

I think that makes you not a fan of the Cowboys
Think whatever u like....doesn't make you right....LOL

What ya gonna do ? Dallas wasn’t playing tonite.

RIGHT back atcha
Think whatever u like….doesn’t make you right….LOL
Stealin my material ? Get your own....

now down boy….

You can’t handle Dallas not being there. Too bad.

I've handled it well all night, and all season.

Look at your signature, then tell me who can’t handle Dallas being in the playoffs… You’re a complete clown, bruh. And stop trying to be an internet tough guy. You look foolish enough as is

You're boring. All you got is tryin to bash on me....

All I did was give the Gmen some credit as well as the Niners…

LOL. All you have to talk about is me….NICE !!

I am in your head.. LMAO. Sucks for you. Try giving another team credit when they deserve it.

I couldn't care less about you, or any other fake fan of the Dallas Cowboys.
They manned up. Dallas doesn’t do this kind of thing

Yeah, that certainly sound like someone simply giving the gmen credit.
/rolls eyes
It’s the same chicken little bs you always spout. I call a spade a spade.

Actually what makes me angry

is lack of beer to cry in.

Not really. He didn't tuck it and it wasn
that forceful of a punch

He should have called the fair catch anyways. I hate both these team but the 9ers had it.

not just that play

he looked lost the whole time. did you see him DIVE to catch a punt that would’ve been a touchback? did you see him fall flat on his face in the open field? did you miss the part where he let the ball hit him in the knee and then just let it go when he should have been sprinting as fast as possible the other way? he should be caned by the entire team and city

I'd cut him in the locker room
He's a back up

Ted Ginn is the starter.

so that gives him a pass to do stupid things

that the average Joe drunk off his ass is yelling at his tv because even he realizes what should be done

and did you see how he was carrying it that last punt?

idiot to the umph degree

Why don't you ever say things like this about the team your root for?

ESPECIALLY when it’s deserved?

Yup. Totally agree.

That was a damn good game.

They just beat an amazing defense
Brady.

Get my $100 back, you owe me from ’07.

That's funny me too
i just got my 50 back .. but i feel guilty :-/
dirty money salas88

but, money is money. Its not like you bet against the Cowboys or anything. Did you? DID YOU??!!

yea i know its dirty ..... but no i would never bet against my BOYS! on the bright side Sheli was getting killed out there lol
Harbaugh's parents are like, "WTF you two losers?"
It is better to be Lucky than Good.
Sucks to know that the major difference between them and us...

is the coaching…

Or the O and D line.

Get outta here with that nonsense.

and OL and DL
The Giants OL was a big question mark in the offseason...

just as much as ours was. As a team, they played hard when it counted. We folded…

Congrats BigBlue. Go Pats
Giants MVP of the game; dude who can't catch a punt.
yup
thank god there's two UMass starters in the super bowl

I wouldn’t have anything to cheer for otherwise

Pats or Giants?
Pats. I have no reason to root for the Giants.
now i cant listen to XM NFL radio for 2 damn weeks
Kyle Williams shouldn't play in this league ever again
I f!@#$# hate both teams

but my hate for the patriots is but a candle compared to the flame of my loathing of the giants

Kyle Williams is the most hated man in SF
Nope. Scott Cousins
Great now I can't root for anyone this Superbowl

Stupid promises

I'm rooting for the Patriots.

Just like I did in 2007 when my entire family came over rooting for the Giants.

I didn't want the Pat's to have an undefeated season last time. This time I just HATE Eli
Can't hate Eli man.

Hate his game, but he’s a cool guy.

actually, I think he seems like a tool. But I respect his game
I don't understand

You hate the way he’s nice, polite, funny and even tempered? That makes him a tool? You’d prefer it maybe if he was Vanilla Ice or Danny McBride’s character in East Bound and Down?

Nope. Just my observation.

You don’t have to understand. Keep your mancrush, I don’t mind.

btw, you forgot to add the part about his "dreamy eyes"

smh.

I, apparently, don't see men as potential hookups as you do.

And you’re wrong, now I do understand. He’s not your type. You could’ve just said so.

Coming from the guy who's all ate up over me calling Eli a tool, insults questioning my sexuality mean absolutely nothing. Afterall, I didn't call him "nice, polite, and funny"...

Don’t worry, I’m not trying to steal your boyfriend, who is obviously “your type”

I agree

he’s a goofy, self effacing dummy who seems like he’s got it all in perspective.

Pats owes me money!!!

Well I Guess

Our World Class Top 5 6th year starter gets to watch the better QB lead his NFC team to the SB AGAIN this year… Sad that so many folks put so much faith in a guy who’d rather vacation in Mexico with his honey than get prepped for a playoff game. Stats mean nothing unless they’re attached to a W. Hope his couch is firm and the fridge is stocked with Bud Light…

Gawd, the troll is back spouting nonsense.

Oh so it was Bud light!!!! My mistake.

If anyone is counting...

It is 2 to 0, number of SB appearances by Eli and Romo respectively.

Tell Dan Marino that that's how you measure a QB.

Then duck. Seriously, the man has a wicked temper

How Many

SBs did that Marino guy win? Well, at least he got to play in one.

exactly.

My point was that neither SB wins, nor SB appearances necessarily matter when it comes to grading a QB’s performance.

They do when it comes to voting for the HOF...
Wrong.

The only restriction is that a player and coach must have been retired at least five years before he can be considered. There are plenty of nominees who have never been in nor won a Super Bowl.

And, most of those nominees were players...

who were clearly one of the best to every play at that position. Like DWare? Without a SB win, I could see him being elected. Are you saying that Romo is that good?

Definitely. Just look at the stats.

He’s one of the top 5 of all time in QB rating. His numbers will be better than Marino’s when he’s done and Marino made it.

Dan Marino, who?

(Yeah, just what I thought.)

LOL

If you are disregarding Dan Marino as one of the greatest QB’s to ever play the game, I don’t know what else to say to you. Actually, I have nothing to say bc you obviously don’t know a thing about football, and even less about QB play

I'm not disregarding Marinos's stats...

but that’s all he is has to show for his career… Stats are not forever, as Brees showed this year by surpassing one of Marino’s records… In any case, Marino played in a SB… So, what does he have in common with Romo?

That record stood for 27 years, but you're probably right. There's nothing special about that.

My point, which you obviously don’t understand, is that Super Bowl appearances don’t necessarily mean ANYTHING when it comes to grading a QB’s performance. You wrote:

If anyone is counting…
It is 2 to 0, number of SB appearances by Eli and Romo respectively.

I’m saying the comparison means absolutely nothing, and doesn’t make sense of anything.
As it pertains to Marino, how can you say stats aren’t forever? He is in the Hall of Fame because of those stats. He is still relevant in the “Who was the best ever?” conversation because of those stats.

So what? This is all too abstract.

The comparison here is between Eli and Romo. As of now, Eli has a better chance of getting into the HOF off his one SB win and second SB appearance than Romo has with all his meaningless stats. As to those stats, Romo is not clearly one of the best QB’s to play the game, without a SB win. We really have to stop deluding ourselves here. Eli is the best QB in the NFC East. The guy knows how to win.

Hellllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooo? McFlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

My whole point is your statement says nothing. It goes nowhere. There is no point to this statement:

If anyone is counting…
It is 2 to 0, number of SB appearances by Eli and Romo respectively.

This is not enough to definitively say Eli Manning is a better Quarterback than Tony Romo.
I would agree had you made a statement along the lines of:

The New York Giants are on their way to a second Super Bowl appearance in the last 5 years, whereas Dallas has no Super Bowl appearances in this time. The Giants are clearly the better team.

The HOF has absolutely nothing to do with your comparison.
Bringing up Dan Marino in this argument is completely relevant considering he is widely regarded as one of the best QB’s to ever play the game, despite his lack of Super Bowl wins and appearances.

It takes a total team effort to win a Super Bowl.

The QB is not the only guy playing. Every player can only be judged on numbers…how else would you grade them? You can’t just judge QB’s on Super Bowl appearances when it takes 23 other guys to do their jobs just as well.

Yep, Romo-faith is never worth it in the end... that's why I've joined the McGee bandwagon

I don’t remember feeling that way about Danny White…

Apparently, he did though.

Romo is no Danny White...
that's it!

I’m selling my soul next year for a Cowboy SB.
Giants have had uncanny luck.

And We Have

A world Class Top 5 6th year starter who’ll be belching Bud Light while watching Eli Manning play in his second SB. Sad isn’t it?

Yes it is Jimbohts

Yes it is.

Actually what's hilarious is your point proves the point

Since you say Romo is better than Eli, or is comparable, what is the difference between these two teams?

Hmm. Perhaps comparable talent. Ah nevermind. I forgot you were a troll

I am sure he can afford

beer that doesn’t smell like piss

Jimbo isn't old enough to know any quality beers
I Preferred Hamm's
What's sad is someone who comes on a Cowboy's blog...

…only when there’s something to b*tch about. And then repeating the same tired nonsense over and over. You’re a pathetic person. I don’t need to meet you to have my mind made up about that

LOL @ Jake.

you don’t get it . You never will. Dallas didn’t play today. We aren’t close to either of these teams.

I would love to take a poll of BtB'ers, asking them who "gets it" more...me or you?

Up for it?

Take one....like i'm gonna care............LMAO
Btw, we beat the 49ers...

…in spite of Romo breaking a rib and puncturing a lung during the game. You probably forgot about this because it doesn’t fit your agenda. We played the Gmen very close in two games this year. You obviously (conveniently) forgot about that as well.
You are no “fan” I would watch a game with.

Gosh

That was really mean. I may never recover. Well, maybe a couple 6s of Bud Light would do it.

wow this will be the second game i root hard for Tom Brady

good thing there is no Tyree and Plaxico to make my head hurt for a week

and to think all dallas had to do is hold on to a 12 point lead with 3 minutes

I'm rooting for the metor!

Yay, but the Pats owe me money.

dont give mensa or jimbo (probably the same troll) any more ammo plz

they show up as the gmen win the game. figures. f%#@$in trolls…

jake I wish Dallas had played tonite. Problem is they just aren't good enough....Why is it hard for you to give the Gmen some credit ?

I’ll give them credit, but they really have been quite lucky this year.

They capitalize on other teams mistakes....

something to be said for that.

Wasn't it against the Giants...

that our D couldn’t even make a fumble recovery?

It's not hard at all. The difference between you and I is that I give them credit without sounding like a slighted adolescent
You take is as a slight towards Dallas.....

Fact is Dallas just isn’t as good . Sorry brah. Nothing you can do.

I am not taking anything as anything.

YOU’RE the one constantly b*tching about Dallas “not being any good”
You’re a chicken little, 110%. I’m not alone in this opinion like you are in yours

Buck " Eli Manning has his team in the SuperBowl for the 2nd time"

Eli wasn’t on the field for either fumble.

And Neither Was...

Well, I think you know.

Rodgers and Brees!!!

They were all partying with Romo chugging down a six pack of Bud light!!!

heh

set an NFL record for 4th quarter comeback wins this season.

yeh

I think ours set a record for 4th quarter give aways.

LOL...

if anything, Eli’s second SB will make it much harder for the Romo-crowd to defend him… Some guys are winners, some are not…

It will? I'm not sure why. Why don't you explain.
Not worth arguing with you...

So I am not even going to bother…

Good night people.

Two weeks listening to Super Bowl coverage. Can’t wait! No sarcasm. I love this game.

And the Super Bowl just became less interesting.

Seriously, I don’t want to see another Brady vs. Eli bowl. It’s too close to first one.

i just can't believe it

SB will be an ugly day this year

people are booing Strahan. cant stand the gap in his teeth
And I'll bet you are a picture of perfection yourself when you look in the mirror?
I hate the nfl

not only do our Cowboys always lose in the most ridiculous, heart-breaking ways, but the teams we despise like the giants always succeed in miraculous ways. god dammit….

Maybe you should stop watching then and go watch soccer or bowling.
Brady vs Eli round 3... can Brady finally shake Eli?

Here we go again…

I live in the North East and now have to listen to both sets of fans run their mouths. Sucks
i know how you feel

the Northeast doesn’t deserve this anyway. Everyone knows the real football fans are in the South

Now that is funniest thing I've heard yet.

You are going to be hard pressed to say that I’m not a “real” football fan. I live and breathe it 24/7/365. So, let’s not start getting on the Cowboys fans that are spread all over the country. I live in the Northeast and when I go to a Cowboys game in Cleveland or Buffalo, it looks like a home game for the Cowboys because there are so many of us at the games. Two of your teams are in the Northeast so I don’t know what you are talking about anyhow.

funny,

as soon as the game is over…. AS F@@# SOON as the game is over

All of the trolls come waddling from out under their bridges

Weird, isn't it? Like they're delighting in this turn of events.
They're hilarious

make a graphic meme out of them.

It's really funny

whoops. What I meant to say was

It’s really f@%$ing annoying

man, 12 point lead in the 4th quarter in Jerry's house. smh smh smh smh smh
We should blame all this on Billy Cundiff

Nah, it’s all Romo’s fault.

damn. beat mensa and jimbo to it
Don't forget that LDV dude. Apparently, no one can defend Romo because Dumb

Face got lucky tonight.

He has been pretty good this year. I hope he regresses to the Eli we know and love to laugh at.

He's been fine, but I don't buy elite. I'm still waiting to hear from LDV dude how

anything Dumb Face does makes Romo indefensible . Or maybe it’s too stupid a premise to defend, since he’s declined.

The only stupid thing here is...
You sure about that? I'm pretty sure I'm not the one making nonsensical

assertions here. Still waiting to find out how Dumb Face getting lucky tonight equates to Romo being indefensible.

BTW, don't you need a shower after agreeing with a troll like Jimbohts?

Gawd, I’d be embarrassed to be seen doing that.

I don't believe in elites anymore.

It’s been thrown around way too much.

Agreed. Given the way this post-season has gone, "elite" is a very fluid

notion.

How many times

did he throw passes that bounced off 49er defenders hands? Haha oh man. ELI!!

You're just upset...

because I won’t entertain your silly arguments… LOL…

You say unbelievably stupid things, defend your mancrush Dez to the death,

no matter what he does, and then argue that Romo is somehow indefensible, and I’m silly? I’m not upset. I’m waiting.

Oh, yeah you are...

You are upset all right… It was the first clue I had that you weren’t a boy… Boys don’t get emotional like you do… Boys also know a lot more about football…

Dude, you've got issues.

And now you have a flag.

Dude, it was my opinion...

I did not use vulgar language. Deal.

Thanks, fs. No worries. He's being weak, and he knows it.
Keep telling yourself that Eli is just lucky...

I’ve played enough sports at the high school and college level to know that some guys are winners and some are not. I have two nephews who have played Pee Wee football and Little League baseball since they were 6 years old. When I go to their games, I see it first hand. They are some boys that can make plays that the other boy’s can’t. Some make mistakes when the games are on the line, some make spectacular plays. After a few years, the other boys know the pecking order. Eli has probably been making these kinds of plays since he was in Pee Wee Football. Only you don’t know the pecking order…

Tell me how many first round busts there have been in the history of the NFL; don't worry, I'll wait.
Apparently, Eli is not one of them...

So what is your point?

My point is you are absolutely wrong to put so much faith in your "abilty" to pick out winners, no matter how many pee wee games you've watched.

Her point was that Eli benefited from his defense who played like champions, and a 49er defense that squandered away opportunity.
Clear things up for ya?

My point was not that I know how to pick winners, but that

the law of the jungle is that there are winners and there is everything else. (Heck, am I the only one here who has ever played a sport in high school?) Eli is a winner. Those here who do not want to face the truth, call him lucky. Truth is he makes plays when he has to. It hasn’t been easy sailing for him either. He has had to overcome his own inconsistent D, the lack of a running game, and his aging and injury-prone OL. As to our first game against them, you are deluded if you think it was his D that was making the throws that beat us in the 4th quarter. I’ll admit JPP is talented, but he is not that talented.

You are delusional if you think our defense has the ability of stopping a capable offense, run by a capable QB.

Seriously, right now it doesn’t take much. Do you watch the games? Have you seen our secondary? All our defense had to do was keep Eli from driving down the field twice for TD’s in the last 5-6 mins, and we win the last game. They couldn’t do it.
Puh-lease. They couldn’t stop REX GROSSMAN or MATT MOORE from looking like All-Pros this year.
You are approaching your argument all wrong.
I have given Eli PLENTY of praise this year. Look it up.
As for tonight, Eli should have thrown 2 picks. Easy ones. Boneheaded throws. The DB’s dropped them both.
The 49ers should have been a forced fumble in Giant’s territory that the 49ers recovered…it gets whistled dead prematurely. Call it forward progress. Giants keep it.
Two muffed punts.
Luck was on his side tonight. No doubt.
Eli is LUCKY to have the team and coach around him that he does. You think Eli can run the Colts offense? Think Eli can step behind the Dallas Cowboys Oline and come out with better stats than Romo? Think Eli could overcome the disaster that was the New England Patriots’ defense this year and still pull out enough W’s to make a Super Bowl?
Get real. He is good, but not that good. And he gets bailed out ALL THE TIME.
David Tyree. JPP. Hail marys to Hakeem Nicks.
That right there is enough to take away his Super Bowl ring, and enough to knock them out of the playoffs this year.

No reply.

Guess that shut him up. Truth hurts sometimes.

You think girls are icky, huh? That explains so much.
i'm doing it, but before that there was an horrible call by cam cameron

i also blame kyle williams but before that there was an official negating a fumble

Brick if you want to have some fun with it....

you could blame it on Jerry for cutting Cundiff…..lol

Lol!
hate to say this. but I think the Giants are gonna win

they just beat the Packers IN LAMBEAU. and then the Niners IN CANDLESTICK. do you realize how tough that is? and the Pats got lucky Cundiff screwed up. *sighs.. according to my calculations, Giants are gonna win SB46

Brady’s been pretty damn near unstoppable lately and he’s coming in hot with Gronk and co.

if Gronk isn't too banged up

It looked like that coulda been bad. He’s a tough SOB for getting back in the game

He’s a tank, he’ll be fine.

such a shame we landed his brother instead
Brady did not look unstoppable today

He looked way worse than Manning. Flacco almost outplayed him.

Still coming in hot.

he was pretty mediocre today

below average even

Yet, he still won……

obviously

just dsaying he was anything but unstoppable today

For Brady’s standard he sucked today.

i'm gonna hate the winner i already know
I've got this figured out

The Giants have sucked the luck out of the entire division. They have stolen all luck from the Redskins, Eagles and Cowboys and used it for themselves.

talk all the luck you want truth is those mtf'ers are in again while we make excuses for mr jerry
Crazy talk here..

Am I the only one who is having thoughts that this SB match up between NY and NE is a set up? I mean remember that interview before the season started about if Eli was elite? And he said that he believed he was and that he was in Brady’s league? Something smells fishy here…and I am not watching this BS Superbowl either..Another lame matchup between two teams that have already played each other..but hopefully the Giants have used all of their luck up, and save some for us next year..the Boys are gonna need it.

How many people were involved in this conspiracy?

And, how did the league buy off Jerry?

Just kidding..

It’s kind of crazy..how it all has ended up this way…one thing you cannot deny is that the Giants have had a lot of help from the striped shirts this season..Eli has also been so lucky it hurts..Throwing up wing and a prayer passes and having them completed for TDs..Must be nice having an O-Line that blocks for ya..Eli wouldn’t last a season under center in the wasteland that is the Cowboys line..

I don't think Eli is lucky at all.

He took his chances on that pass and his receiver caught it. Before this year, I thought his first SB appearance was a fluke. He carried that offense the Giant’s offense this year, while playing behind a line that at times was as suspect as ours.. Against us, he almost single-handedly won the first game. In that game, Eli made the clutch throws he had to make. Romo? Well, you know…

I admit Eli has done a great job this season..but that pass into double coverage before the half against GB? That was luck..and it was also luck that they had the Packers literally hand a game to them by turning the ball over 5 times…As for Romo..give him a line that isn’t like a piece of balsa wood and then he’d be able to make the same throws, and even more accurately than Eli..Eli has the line and the D, Romo has neither..he’s kinda like Jeff George of his era..and that really hurts to say, but it’s true..

Eli's line had serious issues this year as well...

In the last few regular season games, including the one’s against us, the Giants went to a short passing attack because their coaches did not trust the line to protect Eli. Eli executed that offense quite well. As for the long pass, make a list of them - the one in the first SB to Tyree, the two in the first game against us (one to Nicks and one to Cruz), the one to Nicks in the Packers’s game… No one is that lucky… so he must be that good…

When Romo, starts for his third different team, he will be Jeff George.

…until then, he is Danny White with fewer playoff wins.

There were more Giants receivers than GB defenders

in the end zone on that pass. It was a designed playcall to beat the corners cheating the sidelines routes. It was a perfect pass and the receiver outfought the defender to get the ball. How was that more lucky than any single other pass completion to an elite receiver who is doubled? And saying the GIANTS of all teams are getting ref help is beyond ludicrous. Giants opponents have been called for ONE offensive holding call in three playoff games. The Niners weren’t called for a single penalty besides delay of game, offsides, or Vernon Davis being a nipplehead. Not a single judgement penalty went against the Niners. If you still think the Giants get help I have a video clip of Greg Jennings and another of Osi hitting Rodgers to show you.

Heck, I am a believer now...

And, until today, I thought the first SB was a fluke. One more point about that pass to Nicks in the GB game. The spin on that ball was unreal. If it had been one of Romo’s wobblers, it would have easily missed its mark.

Wait a minute

Eli.. Has 3 words.. Manning… Has…7
7+3=10
10 is ELI’S JERSEY NUMBER!

Eli.. Has 3 words.. Manning… Has…7

10 is ELI’S JERSEY NUMBER!Clearly illuminati

I believe you're looking for the word "letters"
Yeah. Damnit. Totally butchered that.
At least I don't have to hear 49er fans anymore.
The only good news is that they won't get a sixth ring this year.
Kyle Williams + Billy Cundiff

played like dallas cowboys circa 1997-2011

wait, Billy Cundiff did play for us

please for the love of god, let’s not get kyle williams

dont forget the texans pr last week..
NFC East Rules Baby!!

Giants over Patriots in 2 weeks.

that's the spirit!
At least the Boys didn't blow these 2 games today.

The ignomiiny of blowing a championship game resides in SF and Baltimore.

6-0 on playoff picks!

May as well make it 7. Go Giants!

I don't know how it will happen, but Dallas wins #6 in 2012-2013 season.

There has to a Karmic thing going on here.

We will defeat Houston in a battle of Texas!

Yeah, I wouldn’t go that far..but I do have a really good feeling about next season though..I guarantee everyone is going to write Dallas off, and hand the division to Giants…If Jerry can actually put together a line that won’t get Romo put in a body bag we have a chance..If David Decastro falls to us at 14, it will help ease both Tony’s pain and ours too…I love seeing Romo make plays out of nothing, but I would rather see #9 have a clean pocket to use that extra fast release to it’s full advantadge. Now that defense, on the other hand, needs a serious facelift for it to look anything close to a playoff D.

I think the Eagles will be the favorite to win the div.....reason being that most teams have

have a let down after the superbowl.

Really? I seriously hope so..more hype for the Dream team to hang their hopes on, and then pull a "Cundiff" and hand the division to Dallas.
Nobody is going to hand us anything.

We are going to go out and earn it as the best team.

Well I think we both agree it wont be either the Skins or the Cowboys...

Also what if the Skins get Flynn ?

Cowboys may not be favored, but they WILL win the

Division next year. We need 5 players and Garrettt will get them.

Mike I hope so. I am tired of the drought.....it's been tough
Mensa, think positive
Except the Cowboys from 92-95.

Four Championship Games and Three Super Bowls. No letdowns.

It was a great run. I hope a repat is coming....
I believe that we will win
I hope Ro. You can't put any faith in Jerry though.

He doesn’t know how to build a team. There hasn’t been a commitment to winning. The stadium has been more important to Jerry.

It will be 20th Anniversary of Tripletts winning their first
52-13. Should have been 59-6.

Frank Reich was over the line of scrimmage on his TD pass and Leon Lett should have had the TD that Tasker knocked through the end zone. We would have had the Super Bowl Record for most points (SF 55).

9, 19, 29 will all have big seasons in 2012
as will 88, 84, and 94
84?
i thought I typed 82
Hey, maybe one of our draft picks will wear that number and excel!
84 will be our rookie TE
at least we dont have to host the Super Bowl this year.

at least we don’t have all these Giant fans coming into town. but heck, it was tough for all those Steeler fans to come to Arlington as well..

Yeah, these last two SBs have sucked...2 of my most hated teams playing in both? I am sure to skip this one again, that's for sure..
All right, y'all. It's time to go lick my wounds over the fact that tomorrow is another

Monday. Take care.

Meteor!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL !
my god hell has frozen over again..

And its the 2007 nightmare all over again.. N like last time we had a chance to stop them from making it to indy… And like 2007 we failed.. If only we could have won.. This is a very bitter pill to swollow… I hate new england and I really hate the giants with all I am.. What a horrible sb for me.. Guess go pats… But still to think we culd have stop this from happining but we culdent win just 1 game against them..

Congrats to the Giants

Although truth be told I don’t think they make it out of regulation without Kyle Williams screwing it all up.

I feel bad for the guy. He played for ASU in college. In his senior game, they played the U of A and he had a great game, but late in the 4th with the score tied he fumbled a punt and Arizona recovered, winning the game on the resulting field goal.

These teams were essentially even. The defenses were great in the second half, the punters were great too, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Eli get hit so many times.

Its a shame the 49ers lost in that way, they are actually a fun team to watch. Maybe its my giants hatred, but I was rooting for SF today.

Good night yall! had a great time with you guys.
Kyle Williams an expert at being a goat

kyle williams is an expert in muffing punts that cost his team a game

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=293320009

I hope

The whole cowboys org was watching this game and saw what they could have prevented. Use it as fuel for next year.. I swear dallas needs a wake up call. Hopefully next year can be the start of the cowboys finally getting back to the cowboys of old.. Well scatch that hopefully they can be the new cowboys n have the sucess of the 90’s cowboys.

At least my nightmare Special Olympics QB SB

Flacco vs Smith was avoided

I would like to humbly request

What exactly luck had to do with a game the Giants had to fight till the very end for?

Luck did not punch the ball out of the Niners’ return man’s hand, Jacquian Williams did that.

Luck did not have him muff that other punt, his poor decision making did that.

Luck did not get the Giants 20 points and the Niners 17. That was a hard fought game. Live with it.

Eli should have been intercepted twice if Gholdson would stop taking out his own guy

luck.

Luck did not have him muff that other punt, his poor decision making did that.

The ball bounced in such a way that it ricocheted off the ground and went towards his knee. That was luck.

Yeah, the Giants played good enough to win. Inspiring D from both sides, sure...

…but the ball certainly bounced in the Giants’ favor today. No worries, there’s a certain amount of luck in any football game.
Two muffed punts, and two should-have-been-interceptions thrown by Eli Manning. Were they the difference in the game? No one knows. But those 4 plays were lucky for the Gmen.
Coughlin said himself something to the effect of “Neither team was seemingly putting itself in a position to win”

the ball just bounced the Giants way tonight
fumble recoveries, 49ers secondary players colliding on sure INTs

and Ginn had to be hurt for Williams to take his place.

And I’m sorry, isn’t it “luck” that the ball bounced a certain way towards Williams on the score that gave the Giants the lead??

Both teams played well, and I don’t have a problem with the Giants winning, but they did get some bounces tonight.

O god. Coughlin just tied Landry's road playoff victory record at 7.

ugggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I don't

think the 49ers defense is going to be that good next year. They lived off turnovers this year and gave up a lot of yards to good QBs. Their offense won’t be good either until they get a new QB.

Here's what the Colts SB Nation thinks about the Super Bowl Match-Up

man, sucks to be them. not gonna lie

Giants vs Pats.

Ugghh! Cant route for either, cant stand either team.

Romo why cant you do what Eli does???
Ugggghhhh!

Giants vs Pats is like

watching 2 d-bags fight. Who do you root for? You hope maybe they both knock the sh#t out of each other, and both lose somehow. Can’t believe it’s the freaking Giants and Pats again…

You root for the same thing I am rooting for...

My numbers on my Super Bowl Pools!

...or a meteor.

= )

whta a shame for the Niners..2 turnovers killed them the Giants did nothing

on offense in the 2nd half..and then the turnover that wasn’t…forward progress my @$$, THAT was a fumble. Go Pats or the off season will be unbearable.

A season that just keeps getting wrost

Giants did what they had to do, but how does that team always get the ball to bounce their way. Its so unreal

NY THE LUCKIEST TEAM IN THE FACE OF THE EARTH!

good for sure but lucky as Hell
