Congratulations to the first Bengal of the offseason to get charged with 2.5 pounds of green. Take a bow Jerome or do a sommersault even!

Alex Smith had only 1 or 2 bad passes all game, all the other incompletions was him throwing the ball away, or receiver drops. And on the few plays when the passes were bad he was putting it in places where the ball would not be intercepted. The combination of safe play on Smiths part, and the fantastic field position we get as a result of our special teams and defense puts points up on the board and doesn't turn the ball over. It may not be as flashy as some of the other offenses in the league, but as we saw this week flashy offense doesn't always win you football games.

I'm looking forward to how he plays against a 4 man rush and having to throw against 7 defenders. The Giants do not blitz much so Gore needs to have a good and effective game to create some passing lanes. Otherwise all the Alex Smith love I've been hearing all week will turn 180 degrees I'm sure next week.

Interesting factoid I heard on ESPN radio this morning (this pertains to the Ravens/Patsies game): in the playoffs over the last 10 years, a team scoring 38 points or more in a playoff game covers the spread in the next game only 17% of the time. Meaning that this game should be tight.
 
I do expect the niners to assert their run game more against the giants simply because of the scheme they play. Its very possible this could be another game where Smith throws 20ish passes. Also, Kendall Hunter should not be discounted as part of the 49er running attack, he is a dynamic little dude and is having a great rookie year.

The single biggest factor in this game for the 49ers is their offensive line. Can they play well in the run and pass game against a very good front 4 of the Giants?

The Giants have a good offense, but they didnt really turn it on until late in the first half and second half last week. Same thing against the Falcons 2 weeks ago. The 49er defense is definitely good enough to throw a wrench in their plans, maybe re-injure some of those skill players.

23-17 niners win.

really dude you buy into that?

statistics/patterns from the past serve zero relevance to the outcome of an upcoming game

maybe that kind of stuff entertains you, i'm happy for you
 
^ I think that the turnover statistics hold true (teams that are +X in the turnover differential win X% of the time) but that's really a given. But shit like "The home team wins X% of the divisional championship games" is pretty meaningless to me.
 
no team can be great for 17 weeks + playoffs

there are going to be hiccups

playoffs = whose hot wins

so the rams announced today that they are going to be playing a game in london for the next three years, starting next year vs the patriots

i'm saddened by this

there are talks of relocating the franchise(please don't tell me they are considering london...) even though i really don't give a shit where they move to i'll remain a fan
 
The Arsenal FC fans in London already hate Stan Kroenke for lack of investment and investing in mediocre players and the Rams fans will hate him for giving up 3 home games 3 years in a row in London. That game will be a total blow out.
 
yeah just yesterday i was listening to jeff fisher on jim rome talking about how much he values kronke's vision and was a major factor to why he chose the rams, i'm curious about this grand vision....

clearly this move is one that only benefits kronke, and i'm using benefit loosely

honestly all i care about is changing back to the old uniforms, if that happens, dude has my approval
 
Frank Gore was such a badass before his knee injury. Heres to hoping he can find some of that old magic tomorrow and get one step closer to a ring.

Well, what he lacks in brains he more than makes up for in toughness, vision, ability and desire to win.
 
Yeah, you see all those brainy running backs that stutter step and try to think their way through defenses? YPC= -3 or something
 
they weren't born stupid

it's all the hits to the head

has to be

only intelligent RB i can think of is marshall faulk, maybe i'm biased, but i can't think of any other sunday suit wearing faggots on nfl pre-game/chit-chat shows

not that i actually watch that bullshit
