2012 NFC Championship Game: Rain, Rain Won't Go Away For Giants-49ers

PrintAre the New York Giants better mudders than the San Francisco 49ers? Seems like we are going to have to find out Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.
According to WeatherChannel.com, it is supposed to start raining in San Francisco on Thursday and pretty much not stop until Monday. That, of course, means messy conditions Sunday at Candlestick Park.
Does bad weather favor the Giants or the 49ers? You can probably make an argument either way.
The Giants are the big-play offense that depends on vertical plays in the passing game and yards after catch from their receivers. Theoretically, those would be harder to come by on a wet, slippery track. You could also argue that rain could impact the ability to throw the ball accurately to begin with.
The 49ers offense is built around Frank Gore and the running game, so a muddy track should not be as much of an issue for them. However, on paper the 49ers have an advantage in the kicking game with punter Andy Lee and placekicker David Akers both being named All-Pro, and a messy track might neutralize that, especially when it comes to Akers, a perennial Giants nemesis.
Thoughts, Giants fans?

Ehh not a big deal...
Weather is my last concern for this game, and I think it should be the Giants last concern as well, don’t worry about things you have no control over. Now beating the 9ers thats something they should not only be concerned with, but also have some control over.

Yes. Remember Bradshaw have a 80 TD in a snowstorm that sent us to superbowl last time?
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
When there are slippery conditions
I’ve often heard it favors the receivers, because they can make a change of direction more efficiently than the defenders. As long as it isn’t raining DURING the game, this should favor a passing offense. If it does indeed rain at kick-off time, just thank goodness we don’t have Aikman at quarterback. That guy couldn’t throw a wet ball to save his life.
I would be slightly concerned how a muddy track might affect the NYG pass rush.
Correct me if I'm wrong
But the field doesn’t get muddy. It’s more like muck. Which is a high sandy concentration, like running through glue.
YOu guys have become WAY more of a passing team. This will affect you guys more,

we could easily say that we could sell out against the run vs the 49ers....forcing them to pass....
it would be more difficult to pass in the weather for Smith than it would Eli

I guess it all depends how bad the weather will be, but that run D that the Niners are packing is viscious. Those guys get at you fast and they just do not miss tackles, they just don’t.

32nd in the league in rushing
is bad no matter how much you slice it. no its bad.
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
Remind me how the weather was when we played Atlanta. Did it not rain a during or before the game?
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Precisely why mud will screw the Niners
A fast defense depends on being able to see react and move. The mud will eliminate their huge speed on defense as much as it will our over the top passing game. But wait, we make big plays catching 10 yarders and running thru guys.
and BJ and AB run to contact. Especially an up and down runner like BJ who will get more traction with his feet under his center of gravity.
The real concern for me as a Giants fan, turnovers, no way to predict turnovers in the slop, could fubar our whole game.
Eli is our King!
Those guys get at you fast and they just do not miss tackles, they just don’t.
Dont cha think the wet track will affect that.. Wet track hurts their fast LBs .
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
Giant LB'zz SUCK!! Mark Herzlich, Jacquian Williams,...Maybe .. Sadly this has been modified.
Allow me to rephrase that:
Yu guys have become WAY more of a passing team. This will affect you guys more, if at all

London game Eli actually ran for a TD.
This is not the 2007 team.

It could go either way
someone on espn or nfl network was saying how the rain will help Eli get more time to throw. They said that the 9ers D line works a lot on stunts and quick moves which should be nullified or at least retarded a bit to the wet ground. A second or two will help give Eli and the receivers more time to get open.
I have not yet begun to procrastinate
It was Collinsworth on NFL Network. the same problem will happen to Osi
Tuck and JPP are more grind it out power rushers, so it shouldn’t affect them as much

It's not just the 49ers front
Willis, Bowman, Goldson, Whitner, will see their strength of faster movement and quicker reacting more violent change of direction significantly reduced
For us, Boley, Osi, KP? Maybe, who else on our D relies on the speed cutting game?

Yup
If my memory serves we played the Niners on a squishy surface in 81 playoffs (Brunner’s game) they hung 37 on an LT/Carson defense. Squishy track isn’t good for a fast defense.

Gore + Mud = Bad
I gotta think that Cruz + Mud = Good. The way he cuts? As long as he catches it, he could be making big plays….

I just don't see this as much of a factor..
I’d rather be game planning for the team that beat us already this season, than the weather the game may or may not pose.

Well, they should plan for the weather too as it does come into play but yes the main focus is the opponent team since the weather will affect them too.
This is not the 2007 team.

All Giant receivers just need to get the Palmolive dish washing gloves....
Like Nicks, and we are good to go
Nicks has some special gloves for bad weather.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I don't see it as a big deal at all...
The Giants are used to crappy weather…I think it will effect Smith more than Eli…and our running game has come to life, so I think we’re in good shape there as well…
The only thing that will be effected is that Candlestick when we blow it out…..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I agree
for the most part… the Niners do have a top notch rush defense… I hope we can get our run game mojo working and get some yards on the ground, but I wouldn’t bet the house on it.
Giants are Mudders
Giants mothers were mudders and their mothers mothers were mudders. I don’t for see a problem except holding on to the Rock will become more difficult for both offenses.

Been hearing different opinions on who it affects most
Giants with their passing game and big plays may be slowed up by the rainy conditions but… the 9ers have a speed defense, especially the LBs, which may slow them up as well.
Guess we won’t know for sure until Sunday, if the weather report remains the same of course.

Granted, Giants are used to playing in the rain but with the composition of oir old and new field this team never really had to deal with mud. The niners on the other hand play in a field that becomes muddy each time it rains so in a sense tgey have more experience playing in mud and thus may have the advantage.

"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
That's the truth
I think it helps us cause we’re more veteran. So no on field edge, but I suspect our guys, especially Eli, can think back to when their nuts were against the wall and persevere thru it.
Eli is our King!
No big deal
I think it hurts both D’s more…. O players do, D players react, I think you’re more likely to slip trying to react to a double move, say, than making it. Also think it adds an extra couple turnovers to the mix… just have to make sure they go our way.

this plays into the Giants hands
really, anything does. This team is so versatile on offense they can do anything. They’ll just keep the passes within 20 yards and have our WRs either break tackles or have the defender fall on his ass.

I think your point is understood.
However, oir running game has improved over thw last 3 or so games. Yes, SF has a formidable run D but not an invincible one. They can be had and I an sure that many examples of this can be found. The same elements that affect the Giants will affect the 49ers as well. Btw, our run has improved too and the SFs run game isn’t so hot.

Yea I agree
He’s an Eagle fan who wants nothing more than for the Giants to go down in flames this weekend so he’s going to look at it from that point of view and focus on reasons why the Niners will win, not on why the Giants will and he’s got a point our run O vs Niners run D favors the Niners.
I think I’m being fair
Falcons rush defense:
Come on man…not even close. Look at the RBs they’ve played.
88 yds Forte
Eagles-put up 133 yds, loss after Vick was out of the 4th.
115 rushing TB
Seattle and GB have no run game
Carolina put up 142
Lions-104 yds rushing allowed
83 to the colts
50 or less against the Saints and Titans (CJ was playing bad at this time)
162 to Houston
157 to Carolina
116 to Jacksonville
164 to the Saints
Thats not that good of a rush D
Obviously as an Eagles fan I hope the Giants lose and I’m seeing through rose colored glasses, but who wouldn’t. YOu can make the case that you guys are too. Having said that, it’s gonna come down to the trenches, NOT the run game

Oh I agree about the Rush D
ATL is soft while SF is far from it.
Interesting thing about those stats though, they did face some of the top running teams in the league and the best 3 backs in Foster, McCoy, and MJJ, not only that teams like Philly and Carolina can be a bit misleading cause they have top running QBs which tend to scew those stats a bit becasue they make a lot of broken plays. So while I agree ATL is not a great run D by any streatch, the faced one of if not the toughest scedule of running teams all year. So those stats are not as awful as they suggest
Your point is taken though, SF is just brutally tough up front and that will be a huge challenge for the Giants on Sunday. To me the Giants don’t need to put up great running numbers they just need to keep SF honest so they can get some individual matchups down the field with the guys like Nicks, Cruz, and Manningham and hope they get some big play TDs.

And their pass defense was ranked 16th
behind the Colts of all teams. Maybe that’s why their run defense was so good (6th).

The Falcons are a really weird team. They have talent, but they underachieve, yet their talent is overrated. Their coaching staff is kinda weird too, I’m not sure if they are good or overrated. I know they’ve had a few winning season and won the NFC last year (hard to believe), but I don’t buy the falcons as a legit contender, especially how they sold the house for Julio Jones when the clearly have other problems…see: Ryan, Matt.

Well I had that mixed up
the 9ers pass defense is 16th while their rush defense is 1st.
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
In our playoff game against Falcons
Their D wasn’t soft. But it is more speed and technique than power and bulk. With that kind of D, your offense can’t have repeated 3 and outs. That’s what happened.
Eventually our power guys on the OL gt too many chances to grind down their DL/LB. then our running game kicked in. The 49ers are bigger than the Falcons, so that probably won’t happen.
The flip. Giants offense has become more efficient. They are able to cash in more and gain yards taking fewer chances (my opinion, Victor Cruz is still learning and becoming a more reliable route runner, MM’s knee is healthy and ABs foot is better). This has led to defenses taking more risks to stop us. Eli is precisely the kind of QB that will exploit that. So the whole offense is simply better at doing what they do. I don’t expect AB or BJ to grind it out with the Niners, but I don’t think they’ll shut down the while Giants offense. Too hard to stop all the options without giving up something.
Eli is our King!
Repeating the same thing is obnoxious...

I don't think you're being unfair
Giants run game has gone from terrible to uneven by no means great. We struggeled mightely last week vs GB, Bradshaw had two big runs and both of them were a product of effort from AB and lack of from GB D not a tru O-line push. SF will not lack that type of effort.
I think Giant fans are just a little more confident because of two things. 1.) It has improved to some degree 2.) Even though its nothing special it does just enough to keep oppenets honest which allows the Giants to do what they do best and thats throw it.
We got several big runs against GB thats about it
But what’s informative, GB felt they had to attack to generate pressure at the LOS to stop our runs and pressure Eli.
When Eli had it really figured out, we used 3 similar plays to get a RB past the LOS and to get some big plays (I think they each led to TDs). AB before the half, BJ running it in and AB had a run to like the 5.
Eli is our King!
Of course they aren't a joke. Our point is that
the 32nd in rushing is complete crap as of this point. Our OL is healthy and finally gelling, and Bradshaw and Jacobs are both healthy. Its not like San Fran will be able to come in and sell out against the pass…they still will have to play the run. And that’s going to work in our favor.

I agree, but like I said, the Giants run game has significantly improved.
It likely won’t show up in the stats, but it will make the 49ers respect it, and that’s all it needs to do to help Eli out by slowing the pass rush just a bit.

Of course. That's the reason this game is figuratively and
literally (according to Vegas), a toss up.
Here’s the deciding factor:
Whether the difference in talent between Eli and Smith is greater than the difference in talent between the San Fran defense and the Giants defense. If it is, then we win. If it isn’t, then they win.

Agreed. Vegas gives 3 points to the home team for that reason.
The line is San Fran -2.5, which means that on a neutral field, the Giants are favored by half a point.

NJ weather
The weather here was crappy yesterday and could be crappy tomorrow. I hope the Giants use the oppotnities to practice in the elements.
Also, I’m hoping the coaches are really stressing ball safety with the RBs and WRs this week. Watching the 49ers-Saints game, you could actively see the 49ers defenders holding runners up and ripping at the ball. That tactic is going to be extra-effective in the rain. Jacobs and Bradshaw will need to protect that ball with both hands when in traffic!
practicing in the elements
if i were coaching, id have them practice all week with wet balls. NO DRY BALLS at all whatsoever. Every football used in practice this week should be submerged in water before each play.

IT'S OVER. WE DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE A CHANCE
Based on these rainy, windy, flooding conditions, the Giants DO NOT stand a chance. Clearly, NJ never gets any of this stuff. NEVER. A team that practices in a place called “the swamp” would not know.
I hate to say it but I think it favors the 9ers
They run a very simple O that does not rely on a lot of long passes down the sidlines or down the middle of the field. Most of what they do is short intermediate stuff. From an offensive standpoint they’re not going to have to change much. Giants will be the ones that have to make adustments on O. Not only that Jacobs, Bradshaw, and Cruz are a little iffy with Ball security so I think it advantage Niners.
Both Pass rushes will be affected so I think it equalizes there.
The only area where I think it hurts them is in the FG kicking. Akers is been great for them and they rely a LOT on FGs to win this year. Not only that he kicked like two 50 plus yard FGs vs the Giants last game so in a game that might be close they might not have that luxery with rain and wind.
The only way I see it having a benefit for the GIants is Eli hit Cruz or Nicks and they make a cut and a couple of Niner d-backs loos their footing and off to the races goes our guys. If we can steal a big play or two for a TD that can be huge vs a team thats tough to score TDs on.

As far as pass rush goes...3-4 would be affected more than a 4-3 I would think.
There’s a greater distance between the rusher and the QB, allowing for the rusher to build up speed and thereby helping them with stunts and beating the lineman. They rely on speed a little bit more, so they’ll be affected a little bit more.

Yup You've got the formula
Giants should not even show up at Candlestick.
I think they are going to surprise us all.
And show up.
Gotta say that the Giants defense has been the most impressive of all in the playoffs...

He will interview some more teams before he decides. He could be waiting for superbowl to be over too in case any of the last 4 teams have coaching or assistant vacancies.

It's not even funny..
but if we win, I just hope theres not a massacre in the parking lot, 2 persons were shot last week leaving the area after the game and after a 9er win. They have to remember it’s a game, a game we love, but a game nonetheless

SF NBC Forecast
Watch the video forecast on NBC Bay Area.
It does not look like rain during the game but the field will probably be wet.
Rain or Shine that field will be sloppy as usual...
I have the bay area zeroed in on my weather channel…I don’t mind the wet field..but I hope it doesn’t rain during the game…

I just emailed him, been wondering same thing
See if we can lure him back to the fold.
Since Eli has become elite, perhaps he no longer has a cause to push.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TQ, DD and KMac Must Go!
TC, PF, KG, will stay but should go for the long term good.

It will look like a 1950-1960s game. Muddy jerseys, grass stains and muddy faces.
Picking the righ kind of cleats will be key. One slip by a WR or DB could swing the game either way. Did someone say “sneaker game”?
We are all going want the 6 days of our lives back when it doesn't rain on Sunday.
What an incredible waste of time and electrons.

Question...If mud will make controlling the LOS much harder to do then why is it the Giants that will suffer because of this?
Why won’t the mud affect SF as well? Plus, the Giants haven’t controlled a LOS this season…EVER…and they are playing in this game anyway.

And because fans and the team are confident about this game, how does it automatically become “the Giants are sleeping on the 9ers and their defense”?
Also, I love how people are now discrediting the win against the Packers… Giants only one because of “a lucky hail mary” and “fumbles bounced in the Giants favor”. Gezzz, bitter much?

For some reason this is the game i am the most confident about.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
The rain will help the home team
As a general rule. It will help the team with the better running back and offensive line.
San Fran will likely get a chance to monitor the field conditions and prepare accordingly.
Though really it won’t make much of a difference. Keep in mind, 4 days is an eternity when predicting the weather.

From the experience we had with the Falcons here they already had (the) class.

I think
It definitely favors the Niners. But I still think we’ll get the job done. Giants 24, Niners 20
Weather means nothing, field conditions mean nothing
These effect both teams…Champions adapt, overcome and excel when conditions are less than optimum. I just think the Giants are a mentally tough team and have enough playoff experience to set the conditions aside and do what is necessary to win. Play tough, keep mistakes and TOs to a minimum and get better in Q4 while the opponent crumbles is the formula to victory.
Watch Heartbreak Ridge and learn how to persevere.

the river wins, because it perseveres.
Maybe rain = more Vernon Davis wich = more Jacquian Williams and not M.Kiwanuka.
Maybe Take some snaps from D.Tollefson & play Kiwanuka at d-line more?

Not the mud that worries me
It’s the wind. As the better long passing team that uses that to spread the field on opposing defenses, if the Gmen have to go to a shorter passing attack that will favor the Niner D. Niners are more of a short and underneath passing attack and it might not bother them as much. But if the mud means it slows down both D lines, then maybe we don’t have to worry about Eli and the O line getting steamrolled. That is my one concern. Their speed on the D line is not something the Giants O line typically handles very well.
Go Giants!
Giants also do short passes that turn into huge YAC TDs.
Cruz and Nicks are good for those and MM is very fast to get open.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.

Isn’t the field covered now & all the way through Sunday? Don Shula once removed the covers in 1982 to give the fins an advantage over the Jets in the “mudbowl”. This field will be fine on Sunday—little slower but nothing major.
