Giants Vs. 49ers, NFC Championship Game 2012: Chatting With The Enemy

PrintWith your New York Giants facing the San Francisco 49ers Sunday in the NFC Championship Game I caught up with David Fucillo, the tremendous editor of SB Nation's 49ers website, Niners Nation, for a chat this week. Rather than copy and paste the entire chat, I am going to give you the most relevant parts -- mostly what Fucillo had to say in response to various questions from me, or about various topics.
On what has changed with the 49ers since the Week 10 meeting between San Francisco and New York, won 27-20 by the 49ers.
Fucillo: Since week 10, the 49ers have released wide receiver Braylon Edwards. He was brought in to be a big deep threat and a knee injury ended most any chance of that. The 49ers wide receivers have been a bit limited at times due to injuries, leaving Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis as their most consistent receiving threats
Frank Gore was banged up in that game and left after the first half with a knee injury. He is still a bit banged up, but the bye week helped rest him up.Ray McDonald was limited with a hamstring injury prior to week ten but ended up playing. In a bit of a coincidence, he injured his hamstring in Week 17 and while he will play, he is a bit limited as well
But the big difference for this team is just having more time to bring their units together. They have been implementing their offense on the fly thanks to the lockout and the time has helped improve the passing game to a certain extent.
On how 49ers fans feel about San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith.
Fucillo: 49ers fans have been on a roller coaster with Alex through the years and right now fans are pretty thrilled with him. He has had his moments this season, but this was on the biggest stage with significant pressure against arguably the best quarterback in the NFL
It will be interesting to see what kind of response a poor performance would get, but at Niners Nation most people went all in with Alex on that touchdown.
On the potential impact of the rainy weather that has descended upon the San Francisco area.
Fucillo: My initial thought on the weather was that it favors the 49ers ground it out style. If this became a battle in the trenches, my initial thought was that the 49ers rushing attack would be the difference.
However, upon further reflection, you could argue the passing game could benefit. I heard one suggestion that cornerbacks having to react in muddy conditions are at a disadvantage against wide receivers running forward. Additionally, there is the idea that it could slow down the pass rush to a certain extent. If that were the case, I could see the Giants.I think the big question will be on punt returns. With bad conditions, there is a chance for returner fumbles and there is also the chance that a coverage player slips in the mud and opens up a lane.
On the status of 49ers return man, reserve wide receiver Ted Ginn.
He seems to be the most questionable of the 49ers injury concerns and I would be a bit surprised to see him play.
Kyle William will handle punt returns. He has been decent enough but has not had the game-breaking plays of Ginn, so that would seem to benefit the Giants.His absence also leaves the 49ers a bit limited at wide receiver. They would have Michael Crabtree, Kyle Williams, Brett Swain and Joe Hastings as their four receivers. Not exactly Cruz-Nicks-Manningham.
On the outcome of Sunday's game.
My prediction this week has been 23-20. While I think Eli Manning will get plenty of yards, I think the 49ers red zone defense is able to contain the Giants offense down close.
The 49ers showed an ability to win a shootout last week against the Saints, but that really isn't their style. Ideally the defense and special teams dominate and Alex Smith keeps his steady hand on the offense.
Be sure to stop by Niners Nation to see what Fucillo had to ask me, and what the 49ers and their fans are thinking as Sunday's game approaches.

Alex Smith
has certainly stepped it up. I believe we have to scheme to stop their big men like Vernon Davis and Frank Gore. The run game is going to be huge obviously given the weather. And I think our defense is better than the Saints who down the stretch provided us why they are an all-offense team.
JPP is the kraken
David sounds like a reality guy....
He knows the game will be tough..and he’s very candid…Nice exchange there, Ed…
"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..."
Only problem is...
he has to suspend reality to rationalize his prediction for the final score. He says the 49ers D should limit the Giants in the Red Zone, but just like all 9ers fans I’ve heard talking this week, he kind of ignores the SF offense vs. the Giants defense matchup. Giants have shut out Atlanta and limited GB to 20 points. These are vastly superior offenses compared to SF’s unit. How do these SF fans, David included, really believe that their offense is going to a.) out-produce the Giants offense, and b.) score almost at all against the Giants D? I don’t see it happening.
If the Giants play Kiwanuka more this week and essentially use him as a 5th D lineman (which he really is), they should be able to handle the running game (they did shut down Turner who had a better year than Gore). Even in that formation, as long as Boley doesn’t get hurt again, they got VD covered. Webster should blanket Crabtree. Who else do they have? How are they going to move the ball on this D?

If the Giants do shut down the run
do people really believe Smith will excel where Matt Ryan and Aaron Rodgers failed? And I don’t believe last week was a legitimate barometer of Smith’s abilities. The Saints D is not exactly top ranked.

i have been saying it will be a blowout.
People are comparing this team to 2007 and i am thinking 1986. But then again read my sig below:
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I'll never forget that '86 humiliation
and how sweet it was. Hanging their own number up on our Giants stadium scoreboard. LT scoring on that fake FG or punt. What a beautiful game. I’m not expecting a blowout here. I have respect for this SF D. But I just thing the matchup favors us. Our D vs their O, will be more difficult for them than their D vs our O.

We blew out teams that entire playoffs and even the superbowl win score was not as close as the final score says.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Yeah, what a team.
3 points allowed in 2 games leading up to the SB. Incredible D. Baltimore 2000 had nothing on that D. Beating the Skins for the 3rd time that season 17-0, and watching Jay Shroeder walking off the field at the end all dazed and frazzled (kind of like Tom Brady in SB XLII) is an image in my mind that I will never forget. I think that game was the beginning of the end of his career. Giants seemed to end a lot of QBs careers in the ’80s.
by NYStateofMind on Jan 22, 2012 2:32 AM EST up reply actions
And...
The 9ers O line isn’t exactly top ranked. Smith is one of the most sacked QBs in the league, and the running game wasn’t some unstoppable beast. They averaged a very “average” 4.1 ypc for the season.

About the 49ers limiting the Giants offense in the red zone...
…who needs red zone when you have so many guys out there capable of stepping up and making big plays?
Beginning with our week 10 battle against SF, we have hit TDs on plays over 20 yards — and most of them have been monsters (only two less than 35 yds.) — in EVERY game except for the loss to Washington. That’s 9 out of 10 weeks. Hell, even Beckum joined the party during this run of big plays.

Exactly
At that’s my point about our O against their D. I don’t think they can stop us all day. Whereas I just don’t see how they are going to successfully attack our defense.

Another great point!
Giants actually do bog down sometimes in the red zone (why they have never once put Barden in there with goal to go, I just can’t understand). They are most effective scoring from further out.

Eli and the receivers have been awesome
I worry a bit about their pass rush and mistakes by our O. But in Week 10 I don’t think Cruz was the legitimate threat he has turned into since. If they double Hakeem all game again I think Cruz and others can eat them up (if Eli has time to find them)

I wouldn't expect him not predicting his team to win..Only Ed does that..hahaha!!!
"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
But I think I’m being pretty objective in my game breakdown and just believed that SF fans had to kind of suspend reality if they thought their O was going to have the kind of success they are talking about, given the score predictions I have been seeing. Even 23 points is kind of lofty I think, seeing as the last time they gave up that many points was almost 6 weeks ago when the D was a shell of what it is now.

Yeah your right..they have high expectations...unrealistic..
They must not have watched the Giants the last four weeks…We really should have won the first game…Too many mistakes is what did us in..but it was close..So if they are thinking a blow-out they are dreaming..

I'd like it more if he said "We're 120 minutes away from our dream"
I dream of winning a Super Bowl and not just playing in one.

Last week was the biggest stage?
Then what is this week?
Also, against the arguably the best QB in the league? Shouldn’t it say ‘against one of the worst pass defenses in the league’?

the niners pretty much
were left dead in the picks last week, im sure thats why they think last weeks game was the biggest stage. to beat NOLA is tougher than to beat us perhaps?
JPP is the kraken
Maybe...
I just think the stage gets bigger and bigger as you go deeper into the playoffs. If they go to the Super Bowl and play the Ravens will that be considered a smaller stage than last week because the Saints are better?

Yeah I can't believe the line for that game
That is some disrespect to the 9ers. Having the better record, home-field advantage and a vastly superior defense, and being the underdog? I’d be pissed too if I was a 9ers fan, especially when you looked at all the stats piled up against NO as a road/outdoor team (13 point per game less, -7 TO margin I think it was, 0-4 all time on the road in playoffs at that point, humiliating road loss to 7-9 Seattle last year)….

I think they are getting dissed on this game too...they aren't even getting the
Standard token 3 1/2 points for home field 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..."
Although it might be more realistic for this game
I didn’t think the Saints were going to go on the road and win against a really good defense. The Giants going on the road and winning in the playoffs is a whole other story, especially the way the D has been playing. Again, which O can have success against which D. You have to give the edge to the Giants right now, just speaking completely objectively here.

Agreed..a 2.5 spread means everybody thinks it is a Pick'em...

Thanks for that, Ed. Always enjoy the Enemy Chat.
Speaking of which, I was out there over the holidays and watched a NIners game with some of my buddies who live there. Aside from the fact that they have impact players at several positions, the one I can’t forget is the punter, Lee. He is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Fortunately, we don’t have much of a return game, so it will not be that dramatic for us, unless he keeps putting the ball out of bounds inside the 10 all day like he did in that game.
Thirty hours.

This is another one of those D's that rely on the turnover,
whether from hard hits, stripping the ball, holding the runner up and punching it out, etc.
If the Giants hold onto the ball, it will help negate the 49er D.
Which makes them to have lesser drives for their scoring.
This is not the 2007 team.

That's not entirely true
not turning the ball over will not negate our defense at all
I think we know that, bud...lol
Turnovers are nice but TOs and penalties aren’t necessarily game winning events…There’s alot more to a football game than those things..
"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..."
Oh, not at all..It will be a great game..
You guys are really cool…Basically, what I meant was you can’t count on penalties and turnovers…Execution is what wins games..But no that didn’t come off as snotty to me …
"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..."
Maraman made it sound like
Without turnovers we aren’t that good, though forcing turnovers is a great strength
I think our greatest strengths are redzone D and our ability to get off the field on third down I think 35% third down conversions against us. The Giants worry me because the can score from outside the 30 and really from anywhere.
Your defense is the best..and has been all year...That's a tough egg to crack..
In the red zone, especially…I think we need to take a shot or more from outside the 20 yard line..We need to get that defense spread out..If we get too close those guys are like pack-rats..They’ll stuff us…Nothing worse than driving 95 yards for three points…
"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..."
Seems like you do have some fans..(minority) that like to ruin it for every other..
Good football fan..It is becoming an alarming trend in American sports…But I’ll be keeping an eye on the stands to watch security dressed in Giants garb escorting bozos out..haha…The Saints game really pissed off San Franciso…

Sorry reading to fast to see "help"

No problemo
Even though I am a Homer, I respect the Niners and any team the Giants play. There are only about 1700 pro football players out of the 10’s of thousands that play the game, and to be on a pro team, you have to be pretty darn good. The difference between the top teams and the bottom teams in the NFL isn’t that great of a spread. That’s why the any given Sunday mantra holds true. I’ve always believed the difference between winning or losing on any given Sunday is a combination of:
coaching
injuries
schemes
attitude
and
lucky bounce of the ball
Going against close game predictions
Giants have been on a roll with injured coming back on defense. Mr. Rodgers at his place much tougher than Mr. Smith at home. Payback for the last time these teams met in the post-season.
Mr. Smith goes to Washington?
Mr. Manning goes to Indianapolis?
Niners Nation seems to think Ed is delusional.
Along with the rest of us.

The SF fans are decent enough. They are confident in their team

Better than GB fans who laughed at any and all argument for why they could lose. They saw no way they could.

Now that's not true...
Especially because if it was, we’d lose for sure, because we sucked for the first few weeks… But nonetheless, you can’t put too much stock into what happened last week because it’s only one week. I agree that it’s more significant than any other week, but what’s more important: what happened last week or what happened in the entire season? Let me put it this way – if the Rams or Colts played the Packers the last week of the season and won, would they be viewed as the best team in the league? No, because the rest of their season sucked. One game is important, but it’s not the only thing.

well if the nyg have only had their team healthy these last 4 weeks
there’s a solid argument to make that the rest of the season is not as relevant, if the last 4 weeks actually looks like a different team in terms of results and stats. And it does look different, for reasons that are explainable and understandable.
Now everyone will say Eli is in Bradys class. F*ck me

Statistically the relationship between predictive ability and time
each game back is about 1/2 as predictive as the one before. When you see a team win 3, 4 in a row, especially closing out a season, especially in games that have playoff Implications, that’s where you’ll find the best most predictive information.
Anyone who looks at our season stats will be very mislead. Take Ballard, he was a beast out of the gate, and he’s still blocking well, but his speed is way down as his knee has gotten worse. So I don’t expect him to be a big factor tomorrow. Nicks, Cruz and Manningham have really come on, if your team doesn’t prep up for 3WR early and often, that would be a huge mistake (and one that our recent opponents have committed)
Eli is our King!
I haven't seen over the top homerism from them.
Many of them just don’t have a clue about the Giants and present arguments that are flawed. Like how we have the 29th ranked pass defense, that we lost to the Redskins, or we are not a hot team, that beating Dallas and the Jets isn’t impressive because those teams aren’t any good (despite the fact that those were playoff games for both teams involved). Atlanta was overrated and GB played terrible, we didn’t actually “win” the game.
There are just alot of ‘em who don’t think what the Giants have done over the past month is at all impressive.
And they are pissed that no one is picking them to win and that is fueling their disbelief in the Giants.
At least… that’s the impression I’m getting.

I've also seen plenty of Giants fans
that don’t think what the 49ers have done over the course of the season is impressive. It goes both ways.
I do agree some 49er fans are a bit over confident. I think this game could go either way (49er fan). From what I’ve read in the question thread on NN I didn’t see any homers who were too obnoxious, haven’t been through the thread here, however.
No one is saying you have not done good during your regular season.

I have been pissed off since the Packers game ended.

i've been in a different kinda mood myself
truth be told, I felt the ’07 run was a bit easier on the nerves b/c we were always the under dogs and just counted out.
so far this run we were supposed to beat ATL, and while we were dogs vs. the Pack, I feel like it’s a coin toss vs. the 9ers and the anxiety is kinda killing me.
Something about the 9ers too…somehow they know how to come out w/ that W. It’s not pretty but they get the job done in that regard.
KG and PF gotta coach a complete game and not let up at all. and the O gotta get off to a fast start, quiet the crowd and try to deflate them.
the 49ers looked to me like they won “their” SB last week. I’m not taking anything away from them, but that team is in an unfamiliar spot. The Giants gotta get a lead and make them feel as though the magic has worn out and the ride is over. Play close with them down the stretch and they’ve proven that they can make plays.
Fire Fewell
another thing about the first game...
I thought Fewell was too much w/ the “off and soft”. it’s ok vs. teams like GB and ATL who want to get the ball down the field. but when you play vs. the 9ers and Harbaugh/Smith. that’s pretty much exactly what they want to do. dink and dunk down the field. run run run and get that short pass. and we basically gave it to them last game.
I don’t know if that’s the way to go this week, even if it’s more “man”.
Fire Fewell
C'mon man, you know very well
Prior to Jets game we played defense in retreat as if JPP,Tuck and the gang could lift it up on their shoulders like Atlas carrying the world. Since then we are playing a coordinated style of defense that is exactly what I’ve seen from other excellent 4-3 defenses (going back to Steel Curtain)
Our DTs are controlling the center of the line, making our MLB a roving tackler, hole stuffer.
Our DEs are pressuring the edge, keeping QBs in the middle of the field, even when they scramble they get hit.
And the secondary, dang you know this stuff better than me
So I just don’t see any parallel to last game. Vernon Davis and Crabtree better be ready for constant physical play. I’m betting CWEB on Tree in a mugging, and we’ll see a crew of guys smacking Davis every chance they get. They may beat us, but it won’t be a la Saints, in a free running pitch and catch way. Their pass catchers will have to ball up.
Eli is our King!
well...IMO
it wasn’t so much retreat as it was complicated zone schemes.
what i’ve found the past couple weeks is that our Corners are better than I thought in “off” coverage. doesn’t mean that they aren’t playing Man D though. They are, just off the LOS. Plus Fewell is allowing them to press a good portion of the time too. but he will still have them play “off”.
I think you gotta watch that though b/c SF just may be totally fine w/ that.
Fire Fewell
Because he sees their skill and wants them to get interceptions
Thats why all the off coverage. Everyone seems to be worried about their own jobs now and seem to be secure in the fact that every other man is as well. Thats the difference in this D IMO.
The corners have always been good off corners IMO but you have to control yourself as an off corner and i think the discipline just wasnt there.
We saw it on the strip sack from Osi when Ross got used but luckily Osi is the truth and saved Aaron, but it was a great call. The thing that almost made it look like a bad call was poor discipline but hey he was trying to make a play.

I can't quote you Xs and Os
But the DBs now are less afraid to play aggressive. I see a mentality change. They may be playing very similar coverages, but they just don’t fly upfield at any hint of the WR going up field. We are challenging the underneath forcing much tougher throws, demanding far better timing from opposing QBs.
Sometimes that’s all it takes, a change in posture.

That's what I'm saying...
Vernon Davis showed more emotion after that game than the entire Giants team did after they won a Super Bowl. Either team could come out flat on Sunday though…they both won playoff games against the favorites to make it this far – huge emotional victories. Which team can handle it again…I say it’s Eli and the Giants.

Nah, Eli smiled for at least 15 minutes after the last Super Bowl and he laughed a bunch
You know how hard that is for an android.
Eli is our King!
Its because the 49ers are doing what we're supposed to be doing better than us.
And by that, I mean they are winning ugly. We were supposed the ugly children that were always counted out, but somehow scratched and clawed their way to a win. Every win should have been like that Rams game in week 2.
Instead, we started putting beatdowns on everybody, and with that comes an entirely new height of expectations, and that’s something I don’t want. Not only is it more pressure on the players, but the disgusting, microanalyzing bullshit by the media gets shoved down our throats too. God forbid we lose tomorrow, we are going to take it hard from every single fanbase and the entire media.
“They were frauds. They weren’t for real”
This will get even worse for the next two weeks if we win. I personally am so anxious right now my head is going to explode. And that’s only for one week. God knows what’ll happen for two weeks, and only two teams to concentrate on.
Finally, the worst part is thinking (and this goes for fans AND players) about the SB before the game tomorrow. We cannot afford to look ahead, but I know for me that’s impossible. So if we DO lose, its going to hit us even harder.
These expectations are a drug. The short term answer is to grab the 49ers by the throat from the very beginning and keep stomping until that team is dead. We’ve done that the past 3 games. We could do it again. But for every blowout we get, the expectations rise even higher, and get even more deadly. The trash talk and bravado will be even bigger, because now we’ll be at the biggest stage (damn it, looking forward again!).
We all want that blowout. I sure as hell do, it would make life a lot less stressful. But the best medicine for this team is a very close nail biter. We need to be loose and underrated. That’s when we perform the best. We were the “worst” (by record) team in the NFC playoffs. We beat Atlanta. We couldn’t possibly win in GB. We beat the Packers. Now we are the hot team versus the 49ers. Result to be determined.

Our leadership is our strength
Tuck, Blue collar, becoming our next Stray as a leader
JPP, they look to him already, and he leads by being humble and ferocious
Rolle, takes nothing from no one
Phillips, will take your head off
And of course our King
It’s a huge strength to have a QB that leads thru cool determination. He never, never blames anyone but himself, he never outs a guy on field. Worst is when he explains to a WR what went wrong. Never see him cuss a guy NEVER! Those guys would run thru a wall for Eli.
I see no way our team lays down. I fully expect them to raise their game.

Even if they come out flat at first, they will be able to adjust. This is a very competent coaching group as well as excellent players on both side of the ball. They will be fine in the end and win it.
This is not the 2007 team.

The defense is LOADED with leaders.
All the guys you mentioned, plus Osi is a leader, Canty, Grant, even Cweb. I am so enamored with the defense since the Jet game.
They will ball out tomorrow, big time.

Deon Grant is probably our best leader
Tuck, meh….he is our best player when healthy and is becoming a better leader but every time he is hurt someone has to give him the same damn pep talk. Letting him know he can lead without 70 tackles and 12 sacks every year. Next Stray?? IDK but he seems to be becoming a more confident man and human being who knows his worth and value and that cant be a bad thing.

I think Stray's legacy has hurt him
There’s no reason that the best DE on the team should be the leader of the defense, other than Stray was such a great captain. Everybody just assumed that because Tuck took that place he was the same personality, when that should never have been put on him IMO.

Well, if you believe the reports, part of his recent renaissance is about leadership
TC and JR convinced him that the team understood that with the injuries that he can’t be Superman, but that they still look to him as their leader. In an interview he said almost the same thing.
So even though he can’t lead by example right now, he is being a more assertive verbal defensive leader.
Eli is our King!
You can also see it as, the pressure is also the thing that is making our team progress.
I think, the pressure is a good thing. It holds our players to a higher standard and expectations. Expectations to play better, harder and smarter every week. Winning ugly has been our thing for long time. But what is it that’ll take us to the next level. Do we settle for just winning or do we push ourselves to dominate the game? Once we start pushing the standard level of playing and expectations of our players, then that is when we get to the next level of top tier teams.
If you lose tomorrow.
I will think the exact thing as I think today – Giants and 49rs are two best teams in NFL this season and both played the brand of football that I like.
I will think the same if Giants win.
absolutely
In 07 it was just like “wait, what, the giants won again?! awesome!” There were no expectations and each win was just gravy on top of the last. I had pretty minimal hopes that the Giants would beat the pats. Now it’s like we know they can do it, so it makes it harder to appreciate each win and not keep looking ahead.
Go Giants!

For some reason
I’m not sold by Alex Smith. Yes, he beat the Saints, but their D is a lot worse than the Giants. If I were a Niners fan, I would be somewhat worried if the pressure of the big game gets to him. I’m a bit biased, yes, but I am not completely sold that he is now a playoff QB after winning just one game.
Saints blitzed which affected their WR coverage.
We rush with 4 with 7 in coverage. Difficult to pass in this situation. Smith will be running for his life but wont get too many yards with pass rushers chasing him. Repeat of what happened to Packers QB.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
If smith is the leading rusher, the giants win
Go Giants!

Yeah, I thought Fucillo was going to tell Ed
So, eh, Ed, how is it going to feel when the niners hang 40 points on you guys
That's basically what the comments section says.
Comments about their offense matching the Saints offense and how we won’t be able to handle Smith now that he is playing like he is Drew Brees are all over the place.

Can you blame them though? First season that Alex Smith has accomplished anything in his NFL career...
and it was an incredible comeback to beat the Saints. We aren’t impressed because its what Eli has been doing all season and for most of his career.
What’s been most annoying for me is people (not just Niner fans) saying that our GB win wasn’t impressive because they “had a bad day.” What’s even worse is saying the 49ers barely beating the Saints 36-32 despite forcing 5 turnovers at home is more impressive than us destroying Green Bay 37-20 (or rather 37-6) in lambeau.

No.
If the 49ers lose it will be first and foremost because our offensive line is bad and proved how bad they were by getting beat every single play.
Though re-reading your post, you’re taking a jab at 49er fans. Carry on, I guess.
The way i see it, then our defensive line is better and beat teams on every single play.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
No one is saying the 49ers o-line is better than the Giants d-line.
Anyone who is hasn’t watched a single 49er game this season.
You said
If the 49ers lose it will be first and foremost because our offensive line is bad and proved how bad they were by getting beat every single play.
But in this case it turns out that our DL is better and not that your OL is that bad.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
No, our o-line is that bad.
I’m not taking anything away from JPP, Osi, Kiwi, etc; however, giving up 4 sacks to the Saints of all teams is pathetic and anything less than 4 sacks for the Giants would be a win for our putrid o-line.
So,
How will your Offense handle when we rush the qb with 4 rushers and leave 7 in coverage? If you bring Te or RB to help protect qb you will have 3 people left to make plays (plus your qb runs) and we will have 7 to cover and stop plays made by 3? This is what i expect , since this is what we have been doing since all our defensive players got healthy and started to play well all at the same time.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I don't see what this has to do with anything.
All of our problems start with our o-line. That’s all I’m saying.
Understand
On the other hand what unit on the Giants do you see as weak that might favor the 49ers?
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Your offensive line.
Your o-line isn’t as bad as ours, but Justin Smith should be able to cause problems in the backfield all day.
The difference is Eli is able to get the ball out much quicker and your receivers are a bajillion times better than ours and get separation from defensive backs much quicker.
Okay.
Now what about the running game. Your running game is very good which comes back to OL blocking and making holes. RB’s can make find ways to find holes too but OL has to help. So you OL is not very good in pass protection but is okay with helping out with the run and our LBs have been ok in the last few games.
As for our running game, our OL has very recently started to help creating holes for the RBs. But your LBs are very good.
So your offensive success has to come with the running game and ours in the air with Eli throwing to the 3 Wrs. Giants have been able to stop TEs in past few weeks such as Tony Gonzalez, Whitten etc. Our TE is returning from injury and he is ok but we will see how that goes.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I can't find anything disagreeable there.
Only thing is we have the capability to pass well, but our WRs and TEs need to get separation and not drop passes (they are prone to drops unfortunately), or our o-line just needs to actually play very well. You can’t negate the Giants front 4, but you can minimize the damage.
We didn’t do bad passing the last game, and Alex’s interception was off a terrible drop by Ginn (ball went right through his hands, hit his helmet, bounced off, and was intercepted in the redzone). Delanie Walker did extremely well against you guys last time and he’ll be playing tomorrow, so hopefully he can come up big again if VD doesn’t.
I expect a close game, but I also think either team could blow out either team. Close game favors 49ers and blow out favors Giants in my opinion.
Blow out or close
You do not want close game or Eli will kill you guys. i think it will be a blow out. Winning team has to take a good lead early and then grind the clock to add to their scores. The losing team will have to resort to passing game hence susceptible to sacks and INTs.
If i do not respond to your next post to this interexachnge then i just went to sleep. i can come and read it tomorrow. i work weekends and am working tomrorow and in fact will watch the 1st half at work. Then come home in 3rd quarter (10 minutes drive). Giants games become interesting since this is when the other team moves the ball on us well (i call it using the other team to chew the clock and have them show their hand). The game may get decided in the 4th quarter despite early blow out leads. We will see.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Other teams seem to move the ball on us well in 3rd quarter*
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Eli is one of the best in the 4th,
But he isn’t undefeatable. Alex is no Eli, but he’s generally been very good in crunch time throughout his career.
If it comes down to the last drive of the game, it could very well be whichever team is on offense at that time. It’ll be a tough game regardless, I just hope the refereeing isn’t terrible and doesn’t ruin what should be a great game, whoever wins.
As for refereeing
i do not even trust them with a coin toss lol

I don't really like the "9ers barely won and had 5 turnovers" arguement
and I’ll tell you guys why.
didn’t the Saints, just a couple years ago, barely beat the Vikings and the Vikings had some horrific amount of turnovers that day? didn’t Favre and AP basically gift wrap that game for the Saints?
Now sure, the Colts weren’t the ‘06 Colts that year but it didn’t matter much….the Saints beat Indy’s azz in the Super Bowl.
Fire Fewell
Blah I don't count that Saints SB run
Going low and late on QBs is disgusting and the fact that virtually none were called in that “run” of theirs after they announced that they would do so is horrible. They got away with so much and the other sides so little it had to be a fix.
I don't think the nyg will turn the ball over 5 times
and the nyg offense is more explosive than the saints.
nyg had 67 20+ yard passing plays in about 590 attempts in regular season, and saints had 69 such plays in about 660 attempts.
nyg offense was more balanced but more explosive than saints. and nyg has better defense than saints.
nyg had to shut down Michael Turner while respecting the greater Atlanta passing threat, and Falcons had 60 or so yards rushing.
The Giants should handle 9ers unless they have a letdown game and get sloppy.

I'm not equating it to how the Giants perform
but i see giants fans acting like just b/c the 9ers had more turnovers they shoulda won by more.
they won.
end of story.
I don’t know how people take that stat and think it applies to the Giants vs. the 9ers.
Fire Fewell
It doesn't apply to ny vs SF
But if you watched them get possession after possession inside the 30 and come away with 10 pts,
that’s less than 3 pts per TO,
you have to hope that if the Giants don’t turn it over early and often then Eli and the boys can build a little cushion. Then PF will play 2 deep and man up with 4-5 chasing Smith. AR had trouble finding throws then, I have a ton of confidence in the Giants if they have a 2 score lead at the half.
Eli is our King!
People ignore that he Saints have been an average team outdoors
They score less and give up more
I expected SF to beat them with more certainty than I had that we would get past GB (Cause if AR and Jennings go ESP on you they can beat anyone)
Eli is our King!
+1
They won, the beat a very very good team. Give them credit, they can beat anybody as with us. What happened last week does not matter. If 9ers turn it over 5 times tomorrow they lose, if Giants do they same they lose, you can’t predict that stuff, just hope it does not happen. (for the Giants)
Did you know that the Saints have averaged 14 pts less per game outside
And that they lost on the road to StL and Tampa? The Saints are a different team on the road, no two ways around it.
Didn’t Seattle beat the Saints more convincingly in the last playoffs? Before going to Chicago and crashing back to Earth?
Eli is our King!
If the Giants have five turnovers
I will have to erect a chicken wire fence in front of my TV like Bob’s Country Bunker in the Blues Brothers
not that it matters, but...
IMO, i’m more worried about Gore and Davis than I am about Smith. We didn’t have much of a problem with Rodgers, and by no means do I believe that Smith is even near the same level.
I am worried about the middle. I know we stop most of the dump passes and runs, but not before we give up 5,6, or 7. That could hurt us all day long.
Maybe I’m wrong. I am thrilled that our D is getting better with each game, and I have no problem sweating it out before another game after this one.
I have nothing to say about our offense except that I believe it will be Legen……..
…wait for it……
It matters
Whatever a Giants fan says matters.
Well that is what New York has to be worried about the most, but I have faith in Boley and J-Will

I think we can shut down Davis
He will likely be at the LOS blocking on many plays, and he didn’t do much in our first matchup until Boley went down. He had the game of his life last week, but that could have easily been the Marshawn Lynch v. Saints game of this years playoffs. Ginn will most likely be out, and CWeb will shut down Crabtree, so you would think that the giants will pay a lot of attention to him in the passing game. Gore if more of a worry, but aside from giving up a few big runs to the packers we haven’t been hurt that much by the run in the last month. Grant and Starks getting free was also in part because Kiwi was on the bench and we were only dropping 7 in the box because they were selling out to stop the pass.

My ONLY CONCERN is that San Fran secondary will try to take out one of our guys to even the field.
Its no secret the secondary pride themselves about their physical play. Yes, its football and that is part of the game but when your objective is to hurt someone and get them off the field then we have taken it to another level.
ESPN showed the list of guys they have knocked out of games which is legal but my point is, if you are a good player there are other ways of shutting down your opponent. So if you lack the talent to make big plays and your only option is to hurt your opponent then that’s just cheap.
I love the matchup but if they do anything crazy to our guys we need to dish out the same.
Wasn't our list of QB's we knocked out a proud statistic for us pretty recently?
just saying…..
Bleeding Blue since 1962
Yes it was, BUT
we did it with hard tackling. There were no borderline dirty hits on QBs during our streak. But I know what you’re saying.

I don't se either of our teams delivering dirty hits...
They both just hit hard…that’s what football is supposed to be all about…
"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..."
Except
for the helmet-to-helmet on Pierre Thomas. I share rbman3’s concern. And it’s one thing I’ll be keeping a careful eye upon during the early, tone-establishing moments of the game. The other thing I’ll be keeping a close eye on is our running game early. Getting a conversion on 3rd and 3, or breaking off a 12-yard run on 1st and 10. Those comprise my two keys to the game.
From what I understand..
the Pierre Thomas hit was legal. Running backs are ruled differently then QBs and Recievers for one reason or another. They are usually running downhill and in the trenches so it is difficult to judge how they are going to be standing: IE lowered head trying to get a few extra yards. I could be wrong, but that is what the NFL Judging Office said and a few other articles are saying. I personally hate dirty play as well, but that one according to the ruling isn’t one of those.
Thomas was a runner and no longer a receiver.
Therefore it’s not an illegal hit.
"It might be time to give Alex some credit, huh?" - Harbaugh
Illegal or not,
it seems naive to think Whitner didn’t think to himself, “here’s my chance to take out Pierre Thomas. Here’s where I can drop my neck, go helmet-to-helmet with this guy, and take him right out of the game.” My point is, it looked more like a tactic than a chance event. And I will be watching to see what opportunities SF will take to lower the boom on one of our offensive weapons. That said, I hope to hell I’m wrong.
It never happens if Thomas doesn't lower his head
This isn’t a case of a guy catching a pass and getting ear holed
Eli is our King!
I think he was trying to set the tone.
Let the Saints know what we’re about.
"It might be time to give Alex some credit, huh?" - Harbaugh
I'd actually prefer they go for the huge hit
Everybody is going gaga about Whitner concussing Pierre Thomas, but if he hadn’t connected Thomas could have well bounced off and gotten into the end zone. That’s the kind of tackling that Cruz and Nicks love, because it ends up with them in the end zone.
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
It also could have been called an illegal hit.

"It might be time to give Alex some credit, huh?" - Harbaugh
mike is right here
It was absolutely legal. Thomas had control of the ball and had made a football move, making him a runner, not a receiver. The thing is, he still got knocked out cold. It’s scary for Thomas, and scary for the game, because this is a slippery slope we’re on. Why are running backs not protected, but recievers (in the act of catching) and QBs? It’s completely arbitrary. Unfortunately for the game as it exists, there really isn’t a good answer. Outlaw helmet-to-helmet contact entirely, and runners will be leading with their heads to try and generate penalty yards. Keep the status quo, and guys will keep getting their bell rung and those who say that football is a barbaric sport that cripples its players will continue to have ammunition. The guys who get paid millions have made that choice for themselves and are well compensated, but the millions of kids who are needed to recreate the sport at the level it is played at now don’t have the same financial calculations. To them and their parents, its more likely that the game reduces their future earnings by reducing SAT scores, grades, and all the benefits that they carry. Sometimes I wonder if we are living through a golden age of football that will soon come to an end, legislated out of existence or slowly choked off by changing cultural norms.
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
Seems to me that his is the difference
A WR can’t make a decision to protect his head. But Thomas and runners in general lower their heads to take advantage, if Thomas remains more upright and doesn’t lean in head first, he doesn’t get knocked out.
Eli is our King!
I don't think our players have or would intentionally hurt
anybody they play hard and hit big but never cheapshots not sure on the numbers but we were hardly fined this year at all the saints in their superbowl run were blatently trying to hurt people Favre and Kurt Warner the most picking on the old guys

Watchinh the game fom week 10
DJ Ware ran very well in this game. Also caught a couple balls in the flat. On the other side SF Offensively like to throw to Gore out of the back field. Lastly Giants moved the ball at will against SF but have to do a much better job of scoring in the Green zone
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.

that was when Cruz was fighting for every additional yard...
…which provided SF the opportunity to strip the ball. Last week, he did a good job of making the big catch on third down and hitting the deck a la SS12, protecting the ball.

yeah things got very tight in the Green Zone.
I hate not being able to see the coach’s all 22, but on those first two drives when we were in the Green Zone the Giants threw it about 5 times. All passes were less than 5 yards and the protection was adequate. The coaches HAVE to figure out how to open things up down there.

I remember being mystified at that
especially with ross on the other side, why would you ever throw at him?
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
because the only way Ross gets beat
is if P.F. forces him to play 5-10 yards off the ball, and then go into zone!

Wow!

Yeah that last fourth down pass block killed us..
"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..."
Eli was still playing like he had to hang 40 to win
Now Eli has total confidence in our D
Witness the sack against GB in the red zone, take the FG and move on
Eli is our King!
Cruz's fumble, IMO, was worse...
…Eli started hot, we were driving, and absolutely needed to come away with points. In a game decided by seven points and a drive stalled on fourth down at our opponent’s 10 yard-line, that fumble in the first quarter was huge.

JMHO - when Eli believes that the D is there he plays as well as anybody
When it isn’t he’s prone to trying things that aren’t there
Eli is our King!
I can agree with that.
For sure

Don't forget the almost Catch made by MM for a TD
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
I'm still not convinced that would have been a TD...
…he had to lay out for it, and there was a solid chance of still not coming down with it. It would have taken a highlight reel play for MM to make that catch.
But if Cruz doesn’t fumble, we almost certainly come away with at least 3 points — quite possibly 7, given the ease with which we were moving the ball at the time.

yeah it would have been an amazing catch
just as much on Eli for overthrowing it as MM for not catching it.

From watching the replay, one thing stands out:
The Giants absolutely cannot try to run those Jacobs sweeps to the sideline. The Niners D is wayyy too fast for that to work, every time they tried it BJ got dropped for a 3-yard loss.

"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 pretty much the key to the game imo
Will manning have time? If so, he won’t turn the ball over and he’ll make plays. If not, it’s gonna be really hard for the giants to move the ball. I’m confident in our D to do their part, its up to the offensive line to hold up.
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
Looking at the numbers...
Manningham had 6 for 77 yards and 1 TD…I think the Niners would be happy if thats what he had again with 1-on-1 coverage with their 3rd CB. With Nicks out on the edge against Brown and probably bracket help with Whitner……Cruz in the slot against Rogers….Goldson roaming the field looking for someone to blowup.
If Manningham catches that other TD that he dropped last time however…that would be tough for the Niners

With Carlos Rogers’ tackling and hard hitting we heard he dropped picks when he was with the Skins but do you guys remember if he tackled?? He is also pretty decent in run support.

"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..."
2 big reasons I have a lot of faith for a Giants victory
What 49ers do best:
We can all agree the 9ers don’t pass the ball well. They ranked 27th in the league in passing yards per game. They are a running team. They ranked 8th in the league in rushing yardage per game at around 127/game. However they were not very effective or efficient at what they do best. When you look at their yards per carry, they are 19th in the league at 4.1, and their top back Gore is only at 4.3. This is not the Gore of 2009 who was ripping off almost 5ypc. So yes they usually get a lot of yards on the ground, but they have to run the ball a dispropotionate amount of times to get that yardage. They basically have to sell out to the run to gain yards. If the Giants can establish a lead, that will not bode well for SF.
On the other side of the equation, What Giants do best:
The Giants have transformed into a passing team this year, although they still like to try to grind it out and work hard to establish a good balance. However, the Giants rank 5th in the league in passing yards per game (about 296). But when you look at their passing yards per attempt, they jump to 3rd in the league at 8.4. Better than the Saints who are at 8.3. So the Giants are extremely effecient and effective at what they do best.
So the Giants D should have an easier time stopping SF because SF isn’t even that good at what it does best (and the Giants are not the Saints when it comed to defense). Whereas the Giants are very good at what they do best and should eventually find a crack or two in the SF defense.
I’ll even go on a limb and post what I think the approximate score will be:
Giants 24-12.
Well I picked the Giants 24-10..Assuming Eli doesn't spot them 2 points..
They have a good defense..But I’ve watched the last game about 8 times, and what cost us was mistakes..We played them during the timeframe where we were making alot of mistakes and had injured starters on both sides of the ball..Even still Eli was never under an immense amount of pressure, so we could have won that game..So going into this re-match that makes me confident is the fact that they will be playing the real Giants..Healthy..Confident…and hard-nosed..Our team is on a mission here..
"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 like that too
I thought that the 12 might be too high especially if they have to settle for and kick those field goals off their sloppy turf. It could be an adventure, I don’t care who they have kicking field goals.
by NYStateofMind on Jan 22, 2012 4:01 AM EST up reply actions
I appluad the 49ers for showing the Saints what football is all about..
The Saints stink on the road, when they are outside of their Spa..but they are facing a Giants team..an all weather team..so this will be a real football game in about 14.5 hours..
