Three Reasons The Giants Defeated The 49ers

Wow, there is a lot going on today with the New York Giants having reached the 2012 Super Bowl. Just to further the discussion as we head toward Monday evening, here is a quick list of Three Reasons The Giants Won on Sunday.

Star-divide

1. Special Teams -- The Giants beat the 49ers at their own game. San Francisco has used special teams and defense all season to cover up the limitations of its offense. Two miscues by Kyle Williams, two brilliant plays by Devin Thomas, a great performance from Steve Weatherford and a clutch kick from Lawrence Tynes gave the Giants the advantage in that department. Ultimately, the victory as well.

2. The Brilliance and Courage of Eli Manning -- Manning dropped back 64 times, got sacked six times, according to SI.com's Peter King he got hit an astounding 23 times -- and never turned the ball over. Yes, there was one fortunate fumble recovery and a couple of downfield throws that could have been picked off, but when you drop back that many times and face that kind of pressure stuff is going to happen.

3. The Defensive Line -- The Giants gave up some rushing yards, but not enough to allow the 49ers to control the flow of the game. They also harassed Alex Smith and never let him get comfortable.

I'm sure you guys can add others. This is just a little something to pump up the discussion.

3rd down conversions

all those 3rd down conversions to Cruz in the first half and the niners inability to convert 3rd down gave us tremendous T.O.P. advantage and essentially limited the niners chances to do something with the ball. This is in strak contrast to earlier in the season when the Giant D seemed to be great and 1st and 2nd down and then give it up on 3rd.

by chris_NYG on Jan 23, 2012 5:02 PM EST reply actions  

What were the Niners on third down?

One for 13 or 14 maybe. And wasn’t that one on the last play of regulation when everyone was playing deep to avoid the Hail Hakeem end zone pass (at least that’s what I call it after last week)?

You're 100% right about the Giants fixing 3d down conversion success rate

It gets your D off the field and keeps them rested, it helps you win field position, and Time of Poss.

It’s directly rated to the drop in pts allowed.

Great plays happened on special teams

more so then the special teams being any good. The coverage was terrible throughout the game.

The defense should be #1. Alex Smith was pressured all game, the corners, Web in particular, were great.

Secondary??

That is the unit that almost cost the Giants the game. SF’s passing offense is nothing special and neither are their receivers. The Giants should have shut them down. The Giants had to worry about only one player on that receiving unit, Vernon Davis. And they couldn’t do it. Twice blowing coverage on him and allowing the 49ers 2 TDs they should have never had. The game should have never been that close. The safeties are definitely to blame for the mistakes, but even worse is what the hell was PF thinking. Why didn’t he use Boley to cover VD? He seemed to do a great job in the 1st game. Then the 2 safeties could have both remained up top to double VD if he did run deep.

by NYStateofMind on Jan 23, 2012 5:57 PM EST up reply actions  

easy now

the Niners receivers are not that bad. They’re good even. Just like the two plays on special teams don’t take away from the fact they were TERRIBLE this game, those two vernon Daviis plays don’t tell you the secondary was bad.

The secondary played great, coverage was lock down all game. The special teams sucked, they let up good field position all game. Don’t let the two plays fool you.

Mostly in the 2nd Half

They just seemed sapped for some reason. First half, things were generally under control. Baas in particular is just not getting it done, whether it’s because of injuries, the flu, or just poor play. Just seems a bit in over his head at this point – who knows, could be nerves as well. Has never played in meaningful games.

by Pink Flamingo on Jan 23, 2012 6:28 PM EST up reply actions  

The O line did and does suck

I’ve been saying this all year but everybody wanted to try to keep defending them because Eli didn’t get sacked a lot. Well sacks don’t always tell the story. Even the 6 in this game don’t tell the full story about how badly they sucked.

As for the secondary, I agree they did a good job covering the WRs, but I just don’t think they have very good receivers. So that was the easy part. I guess, even though KP and Rolle blew their coverages, I still blame those plays on PF and his game plan for covering Davis. I do think they should have given that assignment to Boley and give double-team help with safeties up top. Guess he was more afraid of Gore than Davis. Slight miscalculation there in my opinion.

by NYStateofMind on Jan 23, 2012 7:01 PM EST up reply actions  

"I guess he was more afraid of Gore the Davis."

After watching Gore run all over the defense, I think that fuel was justifide in drawing that conclusion.

Even thought the only significant damage SF's offense did

was on two long TD passes to VD because PF was trying to single-cover him with a safety….?? I beg to differ.

by NYStateofMind on Jan 23, 2012 7:11 PM EST up reply actions  

That first TD by Davis was on Rolle imo.

He lost sight of the man that he was defending. Had he continued to pay attention to Davis I think he would have managed to stay with him at successfully counter that pass. By the time he realize that the ball was going to Davis, he was already beaten and had no time to recover. I also think the second touchdown catch by Davis was due to an error by the the defenders. I welcome anyone with better resources to prove me wrong but based on my recollection that was the case.

Exactly. You proved my point.

Two safeties that are not good a man to man coverage were covering SF’s most dangerous offensive player. It was their fault that they got beat, and it was PF’s fault for putting them in that position. And also, that formation left the D without double-team help over the top for VD.

by NYStateofMind on Jan 23, 2012 7:26 PM EST up reply actions  

And SF got to the NFCCG because they just blow and VD is a gimp with a prosthetic leg

Seriously, isn’t OK to say that the 49ers balled out just as hard as we did, that their team is just packed full of great young players (like ours) and that they made a boatload of plays on defense, but only a couple on offense?

We played great on D, an got abused on the OL, but the abuse was 75% their talent, 25% our failure

SF is an awesome team and a fearsome foe.

If they ever find some good talent at WR, they will be very hard to beat. But that said I still think we should have pretty much shut them out, and IMO the reason we didn’t was because PF did not put his team in position to succeed. He put them in position to fail and they did.

by NYStateofMind on Jan 23, 2012 7:36 PM EST up reply actions  

Just want to point out that some of the SF people expected their offense to score 28-31 pts

Expectations and on field realities are often different. Remember if they did everything you think would have worked, it might have led to other big plays, there is no way to know what any specific changes would have resulted in.

by Willgfass on Jan 24, 2012 1:13 AM EST up reply actions  

The only problem with this line of thinking

is that it was expected that their D was going to give our O everything it could handle. But I was honestly expecting our secondary to shut down their passing game, seeing as they only have 1 real threat in that area. But PF, KP and Rolle couldn’t get that simple job done. It wouldn’t have mattered if the Giants only scored 10 points, if the Giants hadn’t shit the bed on their coverage of VD. Without those two blown coverages for TDs the 9ers only scored 3 points…

by NYStateofMind on Jan 23, 2012 7:18 PM EST up reply actions  

And PF's adjustment was laughable.

Oh, my original game plan of single-covering VD with Rolle sucked and he got burned for a TD? Ok. I’ll just switch players and single-cover their most dangerous player with my other safety KP. That should work. Oh, wait, that plan sucked too? How is that possible?? Oh ok. I’ll cover VD with a speedy LB (didn’t that work in the first game) and use my safeties to double him if he gets deep.

Only cost the Giants 14 points to help PF learn how to properly scheme for this opponent. What an A-hole.

by NYStateofMind on Jan 23, 2012 7:23 PM EST up reply actions  

First PF wanted Phillips on VD with safety help over the top, we know hat cause that's what happened on 90% of the snaps

They were doing everything in their power to change it. They’ve done a great job all season finding ways to make a big ply or two.

by trueblue63 on Jan 23, 2012 7:33 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't expect a shutout in every game

Not even close to that. But I did expect almost that in this game. They had one threat to neutralize and they didn’t do it. And the reason they didn’t do it IMO is due to PF’s scheme for VD. The 2 TDs he caught were single-coverage against safeties. That should have NEVER happened. That is a massive FAIL on PF.

by NYStateofMind on Jan 23, 2012 7:41 PM EST up reply actions  

If you're going to cover their top threat one-on-one man to man

I would have preferred that he used our rookie CB Amukamara (somebody who actually is proficient at man to man coverage (there is probably a reason safeties play safety and not CB).

by NYStateofMind on Jan 23, 2012 7:45 PM EST up reply actions  

It's almost never a good idea to use a CB on a TE

Besides, you can’t ALWAYS double cover a guy on every single play. And you also can’t have the same guy matching up in coverage on every single play.

Unpredictability is how modern defenses work, and besides, you should probably remember that Vernon Davis is one of the best TE’s in the league right now. He tied the all-time TE TD season record last year.

If the defense basically only allowed 2 broken coverages all game, I’ll take that every game. Perry Fewell did fine.

2 plays don't change the fact that the defensive game plan was sound.

Yes there were lapses in coverage but you blame that on the players not the game plan. Overall Alex Smith was 12 of 26 for 196 and if you take away those two lapses he did absolutely nothing all game. The fact that Davis only caught 3 passes all day after catching 7 the week before shows how well he was covered most of the time. The point is you can’t blame the coach for two bad mistakes by the players. I don’t hear anyone saying what a horrible job the SF ST coach did because of Williams screw ups.

1st half, 1st couple drives

they didn’t blitz, tried to get enough pressure with the front 4. Wasn’t working. Much like Cruz shredded them in the 1st half, they made adjustments… doubled Cruz once Nicks got hurt, started sending the LBzez after Eli. Then the OLine was a sieve. So, for the record, that’s 4 quarters of shitty run blocking and 3 quarters of shitty pass blocking. So that’s 7/8s of suck to me, which naturally rounds up

The Oline wasn't great

In fact they were pretty bad. But you’re completely underestimating the 49ers defense when you call them “good”.

THEY WERE (emphasis on the past tense) THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE NFL.

They made the Saints OLine, arguably the best in the league, look stupid. They made Drew Brees, also arguably the best in the league, completely flustered, sacked him 3 times, and induced a ton of bad throws. They were held to 37 freaking rushing yards.

In comparison to that, the Giants line didn’t do half bad.

Defensive Adjustment

Seemed like midway through the fourth-quarter (right after the 49er field goal that tied it) the Giants figured out the formula: keep Alex Smith in the pocket and double cover Vernon Davis. Once they made that adjustment they stopped the 49ers. After that it was just a matter of time. The 49er defense never gave up. But you could see them gradually getting a little more desperate. The Giants offense was slowly winning the field position game. Even if the fumble hadn’t occurred the Giants were going to break through at some point.

Thank you

I think PF really F’ed up the game plan. He figured if he used a safety on VD he wouldn’t have to double-team him and then he could sell out vs the run. Big miscalculation. I still don’t like him as our DC no matter what the Giants have done in the past several weeks. Anybody should be able to do what he’s done with the talent the Giants have.

+1

on Davis’ 2nd TD he had KP on the LOS and Webster playing safety. He was getting too cute.

by GMen56-11 on Jan 23, 2012 7:15 PM EST up reply actions  

The thing I couldn't understand was KP crept up to the LOS but didn't try and jam him ...

and then seemed to trail Davis at less than top speed. At least get the jam and throw the timing off a bit. It wound up being some kind of bizarre double coverage “zone”.

I am happy we won

But barely and almost luckily that we got those two botched punt return TOs. It was pretty much a given that scoring was going to be at a premium in this game. We knew SF had only one dangerous player on their offense that could score quickly. And TWICE we still let him burn us for long TDs. That is ridiculous!! I get VD is a good player, but if he is the ONLY player you really have to be concerned with (i.e. double-team), then you should do it – always. You just can’t let the one player you know can beat you, beat you. Especially since it IS ONLY 1 player.

I haven’t been happy with him all year and the last several games doesn’t change that (probably has more to do with his players than him honestly).

Alex Smith started doinking passes into the turf late in the game/OT. He didn’t “choke,” or “fail to rise to the occasion,” but he did seem like he was taking an extra quarter-second to make decisions. Why? Because he wasn’t experienced at this level.

Then look at Eli. He was just his normal Eli self. Maintain…don’t do anything stupid…wait for the break…Ballgame.

So i’ve missed about a thousand posts….lots of catching up to do, LOL!

Two things I was blown away by:

Eli’s calm. It’s one thing to watch on TV. It’s a whole ‘nuther thing to see him operate in person in a hostile environment. don’t know how it translated on TV, but Candlestick was really, really loud. The fans were berserko. I was really tense, until i just started watching Eli really carefully. Man, just watching him, I relaxed. Nothing was phasing him. His checkoffs at the line; it was like it was a preseason game. It’s really something. I don’t know what to say about him that hasn’t been said already, but he is the master of the road win.

Weatherford’s punting. Looking up at the lights, all you saw was swirling rain. This was a seriously sh**ty day to be a punter, and he nailed a few when I was really concerned because the wind had picked up and was blowing in his face. Freakin’ awesome performance. When the history of this season is written, a chapter has to be reserved for this guy.

You guys would have been proud of the G-fans there. Vocal, unbowed. Crazy joy in the North end zone where I was after the game. Just insane happiness.

Eh

Eli had his share of horrendous games as well as a younger QB. Alex Smith’s trajectory has been rising gradually, the mistakes have come down, he’s had some big confidence-building successes now. At least 1-2 more years in Harbaugh’s system will be a huge deal in his development.

the 3 reasons were we’re lucky, the refs cheated for us in the Arizona game, and because they weren’t in the playoffs. And after visiting those guys, I learned that winning regular season games and being one and done in the playoffs is MUCH better than winning a Superbowl.

That was the play that Trent Dilfer described perfectly on the ESPN post game:

more thoughts on the game:

Blackburn was huge on the 3rd and 1 stop.

Our Oline not only got beat but they are quitting on the damn play. McKenzie and Diehl have to KEEP playing.

Patrick Willis is unreal.

I think KG should try to work the sidelines more w/ the WRs. He goes right into the teeth of the D w/ these WR routes.

The 2nd TD to Vernon Davis very well could have been a Zone D, but kudos to Harbaugh on the call b/c looking at it: K. Williams gets off the line quickly and forced Webster to stay with him b/c Blackburn had the coverage and was late getting there. That forced Webster to be late getting back to Vernon Davis. IMO it was Cover 2 Zone, but had Webster been there to cover Davis, Williams woulda had the middle of the field all by himself.

Linval Joseph shows flashes of being a really dominating DT down the line.

Main reason..

I think he still did not make it out of the stadium. Some coverage.

When the only half-decent WR on a team is covered like that, you lose. Which my niners did.

And, oh, the.. the ball to the knee. OT turnover was a great play by coverage, all well deserved. But the knee ball.. damn.. it will haunt me for a long time.

I'll admit that Eli Manning has proven to absolutely be elite. But you guys need to edit this.
1. Special Teams — The Giants beat the 49ers at their own game. San Francisco has used special teams and defense all season to cover up the limitations of its offense. Two miscues by Kyle Williams, two brilliant plays by Devin Thomas, a great performance from Steve Weatherford and a clutch kick from Lawrence Tynes gave the Giants the advantage in that department. Ultimately, the victory as well.

According to one of the other BGNers, number5

forcing a fumble is a “dirty play.” If we stripped someone besides Kyle Williams in OT, people are singing a different tune. Poor guy was the same dude twice, and that’s why its a “miscue” instead of a great play by Jacquian Williams.

Great recognition by Thomas btw, but you can’t fumble in that situation and the knee turnover shouldn’t have happened AT ALL.

They were brilliant plays by Devin Thomas

I think he was the only one in the stadium that saw the ball hit Williams knee and getting the fumble recovered is a huge play.

And that was a clutch kick with a great hold on a bad snap

But yeah, Williams miscues helped us a ton. That happens in a horrible rain soaked game, the key is being ready to capitalize.

That the 49ers are second in the league in Special Teams rating and 1st in the league for field position. A fumble may be a miscue but a forced fumble isn’t. Our special teams is not the greatest but they played great yesterday.

Defense should stay good for a few years.

And we made it to OT with spit, sweat and some duct tape on offense.

One thing that probably went unnoticed...

Aaron Ross’ punt returns. It was super wet conditions and he didn’t try to be a hero, he caught the ball, advanced it a few yards, and went down before any niners could really get to him to try to knock the ball out. It was that kind of game, that whoever turned it over to give the other team good field position was going to win. Luckily the Niners punt returner made the mistake first.

Yes they wanted to protect the ball..so they had sure hands out there..

No heroics..just maintain posession of the football..

I just read this little article from Ohm Youngmisuk.

Interesting thing part was that Peyton was helping Eli disect the Niners defense. Since Peyton wasn’t working this year, maybe he was helping Eli the whole season. Maybe this is why Eli is playing lights out this year.
