Video: How Many Of Us Felt Following Sunday's Loss

Grew up in NY and have been living in Seattle for 25 years (almost chose SF, but that’s another story). When the Giants beat GB, I decided to take my 6 year old football fanatic son to the game as the Stick.

First, thanks for being classy fans. I had heard, as you all did, some bad rumors about the behavior of Niner fans the week before. I thought to myself, wtf, that doesn’t seem right about Niner fans. Oakland or Philly maybe, but not SF. So, I’m pleased to say that everybody I encountered was really great….lots of comments to my son about how lucky he was to be there, lots of smiles when he was cheering his head off. Special thanks to my seat neighbor, Adrian, who made the game a joy to watch, even if we were rooting for different teams.

On related theme…..you guys rocked the house. I was impressed by how loud it was. When your guys came out of the tunnel and the place exploded, i have to admit i got chills…..it was, “alright, this place is about to take off, playoff football, oh yeah.” When Eli was under center, your “12th man” was very much in evidence.

You don’t need me to tell you this, but your front 7 is seriously great. I can say this now that we won, but it was (almost) a pleasure seeing them operate. For a guy who was weaned on the great Giants’ defense, i had massive appreciation for the Smiths, Willis, Bowman and Co.

I was shocked in the car on the way to my hotel after the game about the lack of love i was hearing from the “talking heads” about A. Smith. OK, so he wasn’t awesome, but he’s not exactly loaded with weapons. Eli had a slow but steady progress, maybe Smith is the same. Though he’s been around a few years, the rotating carousel of coaches and coordinators no doubt stunted his development. He may or may not be the “franchise QB” every team wants. Too early to tell, imo… Get him some receivers and then we’ll see.

You’ll be a force for years to come. Don’t want to face you again in the playoffs, but i have a sense we will.
