Why we will beat the Giants

Rookies

I think this game will simply come down to the play of Aldon, Kendall, and Kyle…these 3 guys NEED to step up their game..
…and, they WILL!!!

If you don't mind me chiming in

I’d just like to address some of your points, and it would be great if you tell me what you think:

1)

Our D-line is gonna smoke their O-line and we wont have to commit to blitzing so much

Well the problem with that is we already played you guys. You guys had 1 sack and that was on a blitz by P Willis. Now if you said something like “I hope our DLine plays better this time around and I think they will because of ____________.” Then, it’d make more sense. So could you tell me what brings you to the conclusion about the Line play?

2) As far as our running game is concerned, we don’t run the ball 30+ times. We don’t want to run the ball that much. We want to bust big plays with the run. That’s just the way our running game works this year. Look at the GB game. I think we avg 3.7 yds per carry if I’m not mistaken (i’m honestly not sure), but when they bust it they’re killers. The bradshaw play before the hail mary; the bradshaw play in the 4th qtr for 24 yds to the GB 10 that setup Jacob’s TD; and of course Jacobs 14 yd TD after a 4 yd loss. So what I’m saying is, the Giants run game isn’t something you look at stats to determine if it’s successful.

3)

Our running game should DOMINATE them this game if Roman could just commit more to it.

I wouldn’t bet on this and I’ll give you the reason why. The quick, shifty, track star type of running backs give us a hard time…Fred Jackson; Shady McCoy; Reggie Bush kinda backs. But the downhill, bruising types. Not so much…Shonn Greene; Ryan Grant; Michael Turner and of course F Gore kinda backs. Gore had 6 carries no yds. Leading up to the game, all reports were he was healthy. The following week he had 24 carries for 88 yds. So if you want to make the argument that he miraculously healed up that week, who am I to argue? I’m not on their medical staff.

So all that being said, I hope the 9ers staff does what you say and doesn’t blitz. I would enjoy that very much.

I got banned from Jests Blog for saying Chad Henne has better stats than Mark Sanchez. And they think they're the big brothers in this town? LMAO try again little sisters!

I would also add

1) Your guys D-line is superior to our o-line, but ours has been solid lately. And more importantly, (In my opinion at least) Eli is very good at recognizing feeling/the pressure, making subtle adjustments in the pocket, and stepping up and around pressure. I expect Eli to negate at least a portion of your guys advantage there.

2) You pretty much said it there, maculis

3) We more recently contained Michael Turner to 2.7 yards per rush.

Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.

by Jsz on Jan 19, 2012 8:31 AM PST up reply actions

Gore is / will do better than turner.

He was injured last time, hence the 6 carries.

I don’t see either team blitzing heavily. Both QBs do very well against the rush. Both teams have good offenses for quick outs and dump-offs to capitalize on blitzes, and good QBs to read them well and make the right counter.

Eli is better than "very good"

at recognizing pressure and avoiding it. He has been as good as anyone in football at doing that in 2010 and this year he may very well be THE best at avoiding a rush, keeping his eyes downfield, finding a spot/lane to throw, and delivering the ball accurately.

Thanks for the opposition

1. The word “smoke” in reference to our d-lie vs ur o-line does not necessarily translate into sacks. Eli is good at avoiding the savk. He does the little things, dropping the shoulder, stepping up in the pocket…etc
BUT Your o-line is average at best + it’s kinda banged up, I believe ur LT (McKnight? Something like that) is your best lineman and he’s out, u got a guard playing in his spot, so many other things infant really think of about your line, but I do recall they are banged up and many arenplaying out of position (not to mention that it’s an average group even if healthy). Please correct me if I’m wrong.
We WILL get pressure on your QB rushing smith, smith, m Donald and ice. The discrepancy in talent with this matchup is evident no? Im talkig about pressure not necessarily sacks.
2. You have no comment regarding ur running game really, your backs are average (and banged up, Bradshaw didn’t practice today) and u are facing one of the best rush defense EVER. this is a record breaking rush defense ma man, get your note pad and quote me: you ain’t moving the ball on the ground.
3. Gore is smart and quick (not fast) and he is good, you can contain him but he will get the yards. Shonn

Thanks for the response JRATD

1. I think you’re talking about McKenzie, he’s our RT. 2 things: he’s not out and he’s not our best lineman…maybe 3rd depending on who you ask. Our LT is out, but he was a first time starter. Our “new” LT is our last year’s LT. So, honestly, I think we’re pretty solid. And not to sound like I’m shit talking, but Alex Smith has been sacked 44 times and the only team in the league that dropped back fewer time than the 9ers is the Denver Tebows. Yes only Denver threw fewer passes. That’s a lot bro…in comparison Eli’s been sacked 28 times in attempted the 4th or 5th most passes in the league. According to the stats, Smith is sacked 9% of the time he drops back and Eli 4%…Just sayin’

2. You’re being silly if you think Jacobs and Bradshaw are average…I mean c’mon. I’m not going to waste time arguing that because in the end, everyone has their own opinion. But like I said, the GMen could average 2 yds per carry, just give me a couple of game breakers.

3. Like I said 6 carries, 0 yds. And got 24 carries the following week. You wanna say he was injured? that’s fine, I just think Harbaugh saw he wasn’t doing anything because we were stopping the run and decided to rest him because he was coming back from injury. Plus, Hunter was doing fine, so no need to bring Gore back in. Just my opinion.

Afternoon! Giants Fan here!

Just a couple of things in with
1) Our offensive line is average. We have had so many injuries (whole team) this year, that it was hard for any Giant to think we would have a winning record. However, Will Beatty was our LT and after a detached retina ended his season, David Deihl was moved from LG to LT. Which is not that big of a deal, since Deihl has been our LT the past 4-5 seasons. Replacing the LG was a mixture of one of the Fan Favorite rookies (Mitch Petrus) and Kevin Boothe (which has been our secret player of the year (again fan based)) . Center has seen both Boothe and your own Baas. Right side of the line has been the same for the last couple of years Snee and McKennzie.

Our offensive line might put up average numbers but they do everything that our coaches ask them too. They are better at pass protection then run blocking and will occassionally open up a hole to give the running game glimmers of hope.

Although many fans like myself are not too worried about the O-Line, because we have our Ace in the hole. His name is Pat Flaherty, our O-line coach.. He could make me and you look like all-pro Linemen (and I am only 190lbs) lol.. I believe that helped explain #2, as in the RBs are expected to do something somewhere in the game and that is it.

As far as debating what type of back Gore is, I will just say he is a beast. and every beastly RB that we play against has bad games.. its the shiftier ones that have given our defense fits. Our LBzz play gaps really well, just not all of them. lol

As far as sending 4 to rush Eli, good luck. That is probably his strongest area, analyzing the defense and going around it.

Both teams are “hot” in my opinion, should make for a very exciting game!

oh, and go giants! lol

Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.

4. The niners won’t need to "over"blitz to get pressure. All they need is to rush Eli into making the bad throw (he is quite the gunsliner and does force throws), they won’t get many sacks I’m sure.
5. Not to mention we are home and that our offense is also playing at a high level after the saints comeback. You guys aren’t the only “hot” team. Nothing like a witner hit to cool u off, it’s on the house ma man ;)

You're crazy, the Giants are going to win easily

they turned their players into cyborgs after the Redskins game. They are literally a different team with mechanical arms and legs and weird 29th century artificial hearts.

The 49ers could barely beat the crappy Saints on the road. Saints couldn’t even win their division. The Giants kicked the crap out of the real best team in that division, the 7 time super bowl winning Falcons, and then whooped up on the Packers playing the best football of all time.

Eli Manning hasn’t thrown an interception in years. Guy doesn’t even look where he’s throwing half the time because he has psychic powers.

The defense has been sleeping in hyperbaric chambers in order for their human parts to be healthy for the first time since leaving the womb. When they concentrate hard enough they can vibrate the air making passes impossible to catch, even if the receiver is wide open.

Only way the 49ers win is if the evil alien race the Giants got their technology from comes back to collect the Giants’ souls in payment 3 weeks early.

I’m seeing San Fran as favorites on the betting line and they get a good amount of love (rightfully so) from most intelligent analysts.

Most of what i see has this coming down to a close game between two great teams.

If the Giants were favored by 7, I personally would bet on the 49ers!

no, that would be literally crazy

I do think that many Giant fans(and some of the players!) are somehow over looking the 49ers for the 2nd time in the same season. Which is kind of weird. They dance around how they say it, but it still comes back to idea that "the Giants are a different[much better] team and last time it was a close game that was only close because of a couple “random” turnovers and an onside kick".

The spread is the spread, I mean, 49ers are the first team to host the conference championship and be less than a 3 point “favorite” I actually don’t know which way the sharps will go. I’ve said many times, I think this is a 50/50 match up. With a spread under 3 there’s really no “Value” to bet either way, I wouldn’t be shocked if the sharps are split just the same.

maybe.

at this point, my only way to rationalize the fact that my Giants are looking a little stupider and more brash and cocky is this:

You have to expect to win.

Frankly, I wish the chatter was the opposite, from the players themselves. I have a lot of respect not only for how the 49ers have played this year, and their style of football, but also the way their players have conducted themselves with media in the playoffs. It shows a good control from the coach on down, as well as determined discipline.

I’ve never once in my life actually believed this, though I completely understand why certain people can’t get over the difference between believing you CAN win and believing you WILL win. I believe only the former is necessary ( and it never needs to be said aloud to be believed internally ).

Both teams think they can win… confidence beyond that? eh, it’s about as important as momentum between games.. ( zero importance )

By your sarcasm I'm guessing you've spent some time on the message boards

After the first day of getting in pointless arguments with Giants fans who seem to think their team will simply seamroll the 49ers and expose them (as if a team hosting the NFC Championship can somehow be a pretender) I gave up. But if I didn’t know you were a 49er fan I would have thought you were a Giants fan who actually believed all that since it’s not that far off from a lot of what I’ve read.

point 1: The Giants D

I would not recommend 5-7 trick plays! That’s getting too cutesy. SF is a smashmouth team that needs to impose its will I’d say maybe one double reverse or one flea flicker. If anything.
Point 2: SF D-line, sadly I have to agree. Our OL has been our most inconsistent and poor unit this year. The Giants cannot win unless they put up a great effort — both to allow Eli to pass and to get at least a modicum of rush yards. If your DL smokes their OL, we cannot win putting up 10 or whatever points.
Point 3: NY running game… well… yes. But I can hope that we have a strange breakout game, like vs. ATL … (not comparing SF/ATL) … this game is shaping up to be a smashmouth affair, and being able to run the ball is a key component of that. Here’s one way for Giants fans to be hopeful — how much do we get outrushed by? I would say that rather than worry about our ability to “win” the rushing battle, it would be great if we can lose it by as little as possible. If we have a great day on run D and hold Gore around 100 yards, and at the same time run for 85-90, we will have not been blown out on the ground. That would favor us as I think NY will outgain SF through the air. Granted, a -10 rush yards deficit is a NY dream scenario …
Point 4, SF rush … well, I’d say you’re talking a SF best case… Corona is crappy beer, also. See above. I’d love to see Gore held to 100.

Lastly, I would not call the Giants one-dimensional. Yes, they are above average passing and below average running. But as a team philosophy they DO consistently commit to the run, they do have good run/pass balance.

Over the sample size only Giants fans want to consider (past 4 games) Our run/pass has been a little skewed in terms of production, but not grossly so. Not one-dimensional. Also, during this stretch, we are not an offense-only team. Offense, defense, and ST have all been firing on all cylinders.

Bottom line — these teams are more evenly matched than you think. So much so that the teams that plays its best game Sunday wins.

If both teams play their best game? Well, I AM a Giants fan!

No disrespect

U have a very good team and it won’t be easy, I’m just confident in our abilities.

A bootleg or screen isn’t a “trick” play and my 5-7 includes those types of plays.

90 yards with banged up Bradshaw and overrated Jacobs? Against this niner rush d? That is a dream. You have a dream today :)

Based on THAT, your team will be rendered on dimensional. They aren’t by nature but they will quickly learn that it’s the only way to move the ball vs the niners

It will be a great event this Sunday

I truly believe the 49ers are the best collective we’ve seen in football. What is even more grueling is that, they have yet to really get the offense up to top gear yet. The defense may be the best ever in franchise history at least. One more note to think about is, we will only get better with time. Imagine if we bring every core player back, get a healthy Josh Morgan, TE Byham, and Delanie Walker in 2012. A few key players in the draft/FA, then have an entire off-season. Bring back all of the staff/coaches. WOW. We are looking like the new dynasty already folks. A super Bowl victory this year would be the perfect push in that direction.

50% accurate

1- ok he is better. No argument there, but brees was better too, he is at home sniffling right now. Maybe he and Eli can get a fruit Coronna on Tuesday night. On me.
2- better coach?? No. THAT is debatable at best, it’s definitely not something u can say as an advantage. Look what Jim did in SF. the players really respond and play for him, and coaching is as much about the assistants as it is about the head coach and we have some great ones.
3- more inspired??!!!!!! Are u OUT of your mind son? Willis will make u regret that comment.
4- “been there experience”. Ok but it’s not a gamebreaker…. Reference to the saints game.
5- road warriors…. Who cares. Home>road . Just because ur good on the road doesn’t mean it’s not better to be at home… Niners are home warriors

good stuff.

I agree with your side of just about everything, but to me the most interesting disagreement is with regard to coaching.

I would say that Coughlin has literally 10 times as many regular season wins as Harbaugh, and 10 times as many playoff wins. I would say that he is one of the top 5 coaches in the league, and the only guy that really outclasses him (and everyone) is Bill Belichik. Any other coach I would say is at best the same quality, not better.

You would (my best guess) say that those numbers don’t mean anything because your guy is at the beginning of his career and my guy is at the end of his. That Harbaugh has taken a 6-win team and doubled their win total in a single year, taking a mediocre team to the CC game in the wink of an eye. That regardless of careers, your guy is the better guy right now.

I might shoot back that Coughlin took an expansion team to the CC game in its second year in existence, and took a 6-10 Giants team to the playoffs the following year.

Harbaugh is fiery and has big cojones.

Coughlin is old-school and rarely makes mistakes.

The back-and-forth could be extensive, but I vote for my guy!

Trent Dilfer had a great tweet last night about one of the most interesting things he saw in studying the 49ers’ season…and that was….

How many new names appeared on the injury report for the opposing teams every single week. The Niner D hurts players – it’s just a fact. They’re not out to do it intentionally (at least I don’t believe that) – but they don’t miss tackles, and when they hit a guy….there’s no question about it. This may be one of the best defenses I’ve ever seen from the pure “finishing tackles” standpoint. And many times all season long, finishing those tackles have been finishing the game for the guys getting tackled.

I'm not even going to justify this question with the line item "debate" you're looking for.

Cherry picking key points, just as someone else above said. I could give you a list of totally non-debatable places where the Niners are indisputably better, but I have better things to do with my morning.

Like sit here and watch Gary Radnich on CSN California ;)

it was me that said I was cherry picking

I already know the many places where the 49ers look better.
