49ers Vs. Saints: The Night Before Christmas....

Email
PrintI would have liked to come up with a poem related to the playoffs, but I lack the creativity for that kind of thing. If anybody is feeling creative, go to town. Ideally we'll have three weekends of "Christmas" but for now, this first one is pretty sweet. The 49ers make their first playoff appearance in nine years, only a few days after the ninth anniversary of their loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coincidentally enough, the day before that loss was the day I moved to San Francisco. Pretty random.
As we sit and wait for the game tomorrow, I was curious what people had planned for pre-game and game-time? Are you going through your usual game-day routine or do you plan on mixing it up for the game? Who has tickets and is planning on heading over to the game?
My original plan was to watch from home, but I ended up managing to score a press credential courtesy of the always accommodating folks at the 49ers. I'll be posting the in-game threads and on twitter (@ninersnation), while James will cover the immediate post-game threads. I'll be tweeting throughout the game and will have a decent handle on information as it comes along (they announce injury info in the press box). Even if you don't have a twitter account, you can go to the link above to follow my tweets. To reply to my tweets or ask questions, you do need a Twitter account (free).
For those that are going to the game, I got a question via email asking for ideas for signs. I've noticed more and more "99 Problems" signs and that is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Any other suggestions for fans going to the game?

Press pass?!?
Fooch, you’re becoming a big deal!
How long before you can bring along an entourage?
Also, 99 Problems didn’t initially resonate with me, but I find myself growing more and more fond of it.

I went to a few Niner games via the press pass
That was quite a while ago and none of those games were of this magnitude. Are you on the field or press box?

I was going to do something to Springsteen's "57 Channels"
but couldn’t figure out anything with the 99. Maybe I’ll do something with 52 and 54 instead.
I'll be watching from home here in NM
I usually head out to a sports bar but seeing as how this game may be very tight, I’d rather make a scene in the comfort of my own home instead of in public.

I never really enjoy watching the games with other people
to be fair, no one I know besides my little bro is a niners fan, but I find them distracting and never as in to the game as I am which means I always prefer to sit back with some beer and pizza in my own living room
am I alone in this?
Me too, and precisely the same reasons why.
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs this season, hopefully! :)
somewhat agree
I have a couple of friends that aren’t niners fans and are good to watch games with but I have already told my wife that I’m not going anywhere and going to watch it on the couch haha

I will be in my sound proof chamber jumping up and down and yelling at nobody. My wife and son will be at a birthday party that needless to say I will not be attending. I’d usually be drinking a beer but I’m taking January off so I’m thinking I’ll just drink a pot of coffee and lose my mind. Hoping to get a run and workout in before the game to take the edge off.

My family can't watch any sports with me because I go crazy on every play
. I like it better like that.
Ditto,
as I am insufferably lost in the game, and nothing intrudes. Not pretty if something tries.

At home
you are in charge of the re-play and slo-mo. If someone (wife!) gameous interruptus, the pause button is there. For normal games I don’t watch until it’s recorded so I can forward thru the sideline blatter and the ten minute kick-off PR fest. NOT TODAY – hard on the heart, but real time.
Game needs to start
Until then, I will be keeping myself busy watching great 49er highlights and listening to Epic music

Going to the Game
My last 49er game I attended was about 30 yrs ago! I and my family are all huge 49ers and have been for many years but we usually prefer watching at home or at a friends house ….but I got lucky and scored two tickets when they went on sale so I am taking my son who has never been to a 49er game. I’m looking for sign ideas…go niners!!

Awesome memories fot you & your Son...

Sign Idea
I think an Andy Lee /Bruce Lee, everybody was kung-fu fighting sign would be cool. Or, something like "Andy Lee is so badass he was legally required to change his first name to “Bruce” so that people would know exactly how badass this badass they were messing with is." Fo Real, honey badger don’t give a…
In all seriousness, I think “Bruce” would be an awesome nickname for Lee. The obvious kung-fu kick, punter kick correlation is amusing, but the idea of calling a guy named Andy, “Bruce” is just so random and funny to me. Of course, I am pretty easily amused. Pretty sure I’m gonna be calling Lee “Bruce” from now on. Who’s with me? To be fair got this from someone who made the andy lee/bruce lee correlation in a thread yesterday, but I don’t think he actually suggested it be his nickname, so I am.
As a general comment to the point of the post, I will be at the game tomorrow. So pumped!
Hey, remember that one time when we were arguing and I was wrong? Yeah, me either.

Will be watching at home with an old friend
He’s an Eagles fan who supports the Niners, except when the Niners play the Eagles.
Mike Silver (who, as a Cardinal supporter, I generally despise for wearing his Cal card on his sleeve) is predicting a Niners win, and has some interesting quotes from Roman and Staley from the Eagles game here
I gave it a whirl:
I would have liked to come up with a poem related to the playoffs
As the Niners gear up for the game of the week,
They’ll need to fight furiously to win and defeat.
If they play with every ounce of energy and might,
It will surely be the Saints who lose the fight.
With two Smith’s paired with Willis and Bowman,
It will be a large task for Drew Brees to get goin’.
Most of the pundits keep choosing the ‘high-octane’ Saints,
But for us faithful, we know who is purely true and who really ain’t.
The Saints are riding hard with Freddy P. Soft on their shoulder,
It’s up to AleX Smith to take over and crush him with a boulder.
No other player has quite gone through hell and back in their career,
The man has truly shown what it is to persevere.
Rise tonight and tomorrow ‘O’ mighty Red and Gold,
Because it will take every mighty-mans might to move on to the Packers in the cold.
We remember the glory days and the good feelings Walsh left,
Let’s unite for this game and take back what was once possessed.

This
I suspect Sean Payton is smarter than this, but the Saints fans have invited Freddy in: They’ve allowed him to flatter, to put his feet up on their couch, and to speak “honeyed words of praise(Harbaugh)” into their ear about how great they are. In short, they’ve fallen victim to their own hype.
If that translates to their team at all, I fully expect the Niners to be physically dominant, and pointally (I made that word up) superior.
Rec’d!

Haha only because the Bengals are out of the picture…it could have been a problem if they had won last week though. If Packer fans can still rock the Favre jersey, then Clements will definitely be okay.

I think there's a better than even chance
that Willis and Vernon Davis both retire as 49ers. I also think that Justin Smith ends his career in San Francisco
I got a home Willis and Crabtree jersey
Thinking about wearing both and just alternate depending on if we’re on D or O and since I’ll be at home I won’t get any funny looks

At the State Fair this past fall
I saw a huge Indian (as in Native American guy) wearing an Alex Smith jersey. He looked to be a member of the Blackfoot indian tribe and was at least as big as Iupati. Maybe not quite so tall.

Got it a few years ago. I can wear it with pride now lol

Only one I have
Gore’s. Wearing it with my 49er hat and my 49er lanyard for my badge to work tomorrow then taking a half day so I can watch the game.
I have
A Gore home & away Justin Smith away P-dub home Vernon home Crabs away Clements home (lol) and Aldon home Aldon is my first rookie jersey ever I also have a home YOUNG jersey that dont fit so it belongs to the old lady
I'm debating really hard on my next jersey
I almost bought a Franklin jersey two years ago and am glad I didn’t. If I get another one I’ve got it narrowed down to only three! players.
It would be a 52 with the words Bam Bam. A 94 with the words Energizer Bunny, or a 4 with the words The Leg
If P-dub is bam-bam
What do we call Bowman? “The Clone”??
Uhhh...yeah...

Since I live in VA, it’s a little out of my price range to fly out just for the game although I did get to be out there for the game against the patriots in 08’ and watched them play ATL last year…that’s the only 2 games I have been to.

I am approaching this like every other week (why change now) with just a little extra hype and I will be drinking lol the game starts 12:30 my time so judge me if you must.. By the way i’m thinking home VD jersey underneath home P dub.
Headin to the Stick!
Gonna be makin my way up from Santa Cruz with a buddy of mine on a bus full of Niner fans that heads up to every game. This is gonna be my 2nd game of the season (went to the Seattle game). Gonna be sportin my home Willis jersey and gonna bring some of the ’81 magic with my hat signed by Dwight Clark, Fred Dean, and Dwight Hicks!
I am so beyond stoked for this game…this was the longest week of my life, and I’m so excited. I expect my voice to be gone by half time…but I don’t give a [site decorum]!!!

So pretty
I really hope that as an added surprise the team comes out in the ’94 throwbacks. ’81 throwbacks would be even cooler.
It’s been a long time since the 49ers have worn throwbacks.
I like them in what they've been winning in.
These jerseys will be “throwbacks” for a team 2 decades down the road.

Twas the night before Playoffs, when all through the Town,
Niners fans were ready for the Saints to go down;
The flags and banners were all hung with care,
All over Frisco, with Honey Badger there;
The players were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of the Super Bowl danced in their heads;
With Harbaugh in charge, I had a night cap,
And settled down for one more night’s nap,
When down at the ’Stick there arose such a clatter,
Saints fans wondered just what was the matter
For at the stadium there arose a great flash,
The Ghost of Superbowls Future, Present & Past.
He held the team roster, the plan of attack,
AleX to Crabtree or Frank Gore in the back;
He saw in the defense, eyes of steel,
If they can’t sack Brees then nobody will.
He walked the sideline; he paced to and fro,
He wore Red and Gold from his head to his toe
Then the words that he spoke made us want to sing
The 49ers are on their way to another ring.
It's been a long time coming, And the table's turned around
Cause one of us is goin', One of us is goin' down

I feel the same way...

Officially on the East Coast...
It’s Playoff Day, Niner Nation. Christmas is here.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LET’S GO 49ERS!
Make it so.
WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US???

My turn
January 14 2000 and 12
The Saints secret weapon disgruntled kiebler elf
he carries the ball and comes from the backfield
got lit up by Patrick now tell me how that feels
change the plan up lets get it to colston
let me introduce you to a fella named goldsen
Drew Brees goes deep our side of the fifty
gets picked off by Rogers please come and get me
on a short field we run it and run it
shit now its fourth down time to punt it
no need to fake with a beast like Lee
it’s saints ball inside their own three
try try and try they may not ten yards
now it’s their turn to kick it away
standing his 30 yard line
its time for Ginn to take it prime time
6 points in a couple seconds
now its time for smith to wreck shit
sack for a loss then a false start
now we see whos got the heart
after 4 quarters a valiant battle
its their qb that has been rattled
two minutes left in a one score game
alex smith will make his name
80 yards no time to spare
he must do it through the air
one completion thats just dandy
in the crowd “hey look john candy”
here we go on the attack
hooks up with crabtree what amazing “YAC”
10 yards to go to be in range
something about this seems so strange
frank up the middle he goes for 11
its like coach Walsh is coaching from heaven
8 seconds left on time out so glad we saved it
now our whole season is riding on David
good snap good hold he kicks it with might
please dont scream no no wide right but
everythings good now out go the lights

LETS GO NINERS!!!!
I’m Jonesing like a crack head for a Ginn Jet sweep,

Or a couple of returns..
It’s been a few weeks since we’ve seen some fireworks from him. Guy is one of the best in the league and super fun to watch. Sometimes I look at him when he gets the ball on those and think Deion or Devin.

Follow @manraj76
I will be watching from home.
I usually head to a sports bar for the games because we don’t get any 49ers coverage here in the frozen tundra’s of South Dakota. And I am much like th other folks here at Niner Nation, I yell at every play and sometimes make a fool of myself in public when watching the games. I’ll stick to my man cave, some toasty brews and my good ol’ Patrick Willis jersey. Go 49ers!!!
Let's giggity giggity Go 49ers!!!

Nice. Same problem in ND. I got DTV for the free Sunday Ticket this season.
Only problem is DTV doesn’t get FOX in my stupid town in ND, so I have to go somewhere else to watch the playoffs.
Plus I grew up in Buffalo, SD. I feel your pain.
WWJHD?
Im ready!
Can’t wait. Got the fam coming over for a barbeque. Gonna be decked out in nothing but 49er’s gear. My neighbors are gonna think there’s gang activity going down at my house.
I’m so pumped right now I can’t sleep lol.
Let’s go Niners!!!!

That number makes me wish Aldon would have got one more sack.
I hope he goes bezerk and shreds Brees a good 10-12 times… 3 of which maybe sacks.
Justin will be drawing doubles so that will free up Aldon to give Brees 99 Problems all day long.

Is it???
Just me or is Justin more like blocking the O-line for All-Don-Won aka 99 probs to get to the qb???
Basically.
On some assignments anyway. It just depends on what they are doing scheme wise.Front 3’s job in a 3-4, in a lot of situations is to move people to open it up for the guys behind them. They just showed a play on NFLN where Justin took out a guard and tackle for Aldon to get in to the QB untouched.

If J smith was a left tackle what would Aldon be???
Running back, Full-back, Qb????
NM fan so I won't be in the stands
My brother and I are the only 49ers fans. The rest are broncos fans (from Denver). I’m going to watch by myself at home. I might get complaints from my neighbors for screaming after we win. Then I’m going to celebrate with UFC fights at buffalo wild wings. Can’t sleep, can’t wait. I can barely type this, I’m so freaking excited!!!

off topic but rooting for Chad Mendes.
Went to high school with the dude. Classy and humble. Hope he rocks Aldo.
by Ador08 on Jan 14, 2012 12:07 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
Just hope its a good fight
Aldo’s been tearing through people. Be nice to see someone make it a close fight. Mendes might be the guy to do it.

The thing is...
If we lose (IF!!!!!) I think NN can accept it. If the saints lose cnc will be destraut!!!!
accept it? after my first couple suicide attempts....yea maybe.
Not really though, just happy they’re in the playoffs. A win though might make me ecstatic beyond anything I’ve ever felt. Maybe a notch below the birth of my son.
by Ador08 on Jan 14, 2012 12:04 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
a notch below?
you’re priorities are out of whack, man ;)
WWJHD?
I was crushed when we lost to the Ravens
I don’t know what I’ll do if we don’t get the W. Might drink myself under the table before the sun goes down.

Just fell in love
With Merril Hodge???!!! Yeah weird I know but he just said the niners are the best “TEAM” left in the playoffs
If by Merril Hog you mean Marissa Miller
Then yeah!! Totally agree.

Never drink and Blog!
Very original right? So what, Im gone beyond all recognition… The crux of my arguement is this, things never happen quite as we expect them to. We have all been waiting for this for a long, long time. No matter what we have much to be proud of. Lets enjoy this ride as long as it lasts. Much love to everyone on NN, even my pessimistic peoples. I know deep down all we want to see is that trophy hoisted again. Soon. Do u believe? I do…….
