49ers Vs. Giants: Happy Hour With Harbaugh

Well, after a wild divisional round matchup, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh is back for another round of Happy Hour With Harbaugh. Alex Smith and the 49ers stunned the New Orleans Saints with a pair of fourth quarter comeback drives and now they get to advance on to the NFC Championship Game to face the New York Giants.

Coach Harbaugh is often a bit more engaging in his press conferences when the 49ers are playing well. When the team is struggling, Coach Harbaugh is not in much of a mood for a lot of chit chat. However, when the team is executing and winning, he seems more inclined to engage the media a bit more.

In today's press conference, we'll likely get updates on Delanie Walker's status for Sunday, as well as Ted Ginn's knee issue, Ray McDonald's hamstring and any other bumps and bruises. Well, we'll get some questions and then see what Coach Harbaugh is willing to disclose.

Beyond that, we'll hear about some great performances on Saturday and how they are getting back to work for Sunday. I'd imagine the coaching staff has been pretty busy over the last 18 or so hours since the Giants disposed of the Packers. The 49ers will not have the same additional time to prepare for the Giants, although given the early season contest, I'm not sure that is necessarily a huge deal.

You can view the press conference starting at 11:00am pacific via live stream after the jump, at 49ers.com or CSNBayArea.com.

I love Drew Brees' comments after the game. Perfectly describing our defense.

OK. I had to laugh

So many people use mute when they mean moot… doing the reverse is just hilarious!

Regardless of the upcoming game against the Giants win or lose...

next year’s expectations are going to be through the roof

& 1 more thing. I think it was a blessing that the Saints scored as fast as they did on that bomb TD pass from Brees to Graham with about 1:30 left. Had Graham been tackled, the Saints could’ve just run the clock all the way down and take a shot at the winning field goal. But everything worked out right and can’t wait for next Sunday. Pumped!

The Niners were up five at that point.

Graham absolutely should not have gone down.

oops, yeah you were right.

I got the points all messed up after points were going everywhere in the last 4 minutes. So yeah, they couldn’t have won with a field goal. My mistake. Whoops. _

I thought about this. With both the Saints scores,

it would have been terrible had they been tackled because the Saints could have run lots of time down. Of course they needed to score so they weren’t going to kneel at the one instead of scoring but it was a crazy crazy game and I am thankful for those two defensive mishaps (after the fact of course).

Dude loves to find ways to get to Harbaugh, any way he can.

I’m not sure I’ve actually heard him ask a football related question all year, I mean it is painfully obvious he lacks knowledge of the sport, but still…

Jim, I noticed that mole on the back of your neck the other night while you were at dinner with your wife. Have you gotten it checked out? Is there a story behind the mole?

i was joking about that during the game. how amazing would have joe’s celebration been if alex had seen him and made the throw?

Bad news guys

apparently the Patriots are playing the Giants in the super bowl, they’re only running through the motions on Sunday so they can keep the ad revenue.

Draft: 1. Kendall Wright 2. Trumaine Johnson
FA: Smith, Morgan, Brooks, Rogers, Snyder

Media is building the Giants up.

They beat a team that made too many mistakes.

by mrdev4 on Jan 16, 2012 12:29 PM PST reply actions  

Me too

And I say it as a Giants fan. We do love Eli and he is cool as ice, but Hakeem Nicks and the defense desrve way more credit. I think the media love Eli because no matter how well he plays his ‘aw shucks’ manner makes him look like an underdog . . .

If only we had drafted Jimmy Smith as well

Harbaugh on the crowd:

“In terms of having the game here, that is an advantage for us. And I really say that after feeling the game this past Saturday in Candlestick. Our fans turned that stadium into a fortress. That was as good as it can get.

Our crowd was behind us, our players felt it, it was a great environment. It felt like, I mean, somebody locked the gates and put us in here and we got 70,000 and a city behind us. It just felt that way, it felt good, it felt like an advantage."

Way to bring it, Faithful!

by peanut gallery on Jan 16, 2012 2:43 PM PST reply actions  

They do need a new stadium

But Candlestick is right in the middle of NFL stadium capacities. Regardless, it says a lot for a crowd to make that kind of noise in an outdoor stadium that couldn’t have been designed worse for concentrating the sound down to the field if they tried.
