Funny that all you Giants apologists are acting like this game is in the books already and your statements seem to resemble facts while the 9ers fans continue to say that this game will be close and could go either way. If you go back to the Saints vs 9ers thread you will see the same thing. All I know is that anything can happen in the NFL on any given Sunday and us 9ers fans aren't going to hex ourselves by guaranteeing anything. Its worked so far this season up until now. What a ride. I'll be there on Sunday to watch if the miracle season continues. NOBODY!
:goodposting:
Not really a good postingThe poll shows that most are predicting the 49ers to win the gameMy own (Giants fan) prediction was NYG 24 - SF 23
Right, and all of the votes are from SF and NYG fans only :rolleyes:
Not all the post in the thread are from Giants or 49ers fans either...even the ones predicting a Giants blowout win.Funny you gave Fro's posting a good posting when you have actually predicted a 10 point win for the 49ers

An 'After party notice' has nothing to do with the 9ers fans in this thread. In fact many 9ers fans (ex - drummer) are giving the edge to the Giants. But I thank you for the derogatory tone in which you posted it. It only helps us. I hope both teams play competitive football and this game goes down as one of the all-time great games in NFL History. And I hope the 9ers will win. But I am not about to predict a 9er vicory. I have not voted in the poll nor will I. I will not hex what we have done so far. This whole ride, for me, has been taken with great caution, I do not expect anything and nor will I. At this point, this notion has taken us this far.

If I have to come back in this thread and congratulate you, the Giants fans I will do so. But I will be much more okay with it with regards to my presence in this thread than if you have to the same, considering the alternative. I have respect for the Giants as an organization, the Mara's (They are family friends), and many of their fans. I just don't have respect for you. Who's got it better than us? NOBODY. No one expected us to be here, and NOBODY expects to go to the SB. I am A-Okay with that.

That prediction you are referring to was in good fun as evident by the :boxing: that accompanied it.How about reading the rest of my postings. Then you would have found THIS

Geez, is it just me or are the NYG fans extra sensitive today?

I am giving the edge to NYG? Where?
 
Yeah, I've read that part Fro. As well as the backhanded "Smith bashing not a true fan" lines between the post in question.

Cool story though.

I never said you were not a true fan. I see you more of a realist. I am a blind homerist. I have been ever sense I can remember and a season ticket holder the last 6 years. I have never boo'd a 9er and never will. I have nothing against die hard fans if they do. I just don't see how it helps. Never meant to drag you into this. I think we both want the same thing this Sunday. Again, sorry for bring you into this. BTW, Who do you think will win? Just curious.

I dunno if "realist" can describe who I am when it comes to being a fan. 49ers fans have a hard time understanding where I come from. I think Laker fans here might. They know how much I like Pau Gasol here. I'm just a different kind of fan, one that doesn't read their own press, doesn't buy into the hype, and keeps his head down until the final game of their season. I don't say "we" when it comes to the team because I can't fire Owners or Players. I really haven't wrapped my head into this game yet. The game can really go either way, so I can't give an edge here. I do think the 49ers need to throw the ball more, and Smith needs play a full 4 quarters of good offense instead of sputtering for 3 quarters, give or take 4 minutes. The only thing I'm worried about is turnovers at the worst times, like a key Gore fumble. I'm actually worried more about the running game than Smith.

Interesting fact: The 49ers are the only team left in the playoffs that ran the ball more than they threw it during the regular season.

 
The 49ers average 13 points allowed at home. They average 28 points scored per home game. They average 20 points scored on the road. The 49ers offense for some reason explodes at home. Their offense has yet to score under 20 points at home, but has only scored more than 20 points twice on the road.

The Giants average 27 points scored on the road, but only 23 points at home. They allow 26 points on the road, and 20 points at home.

So the 49ers score 28 points at home, and the Giants give up 26 points on the road. The real difference is on the other side, where the 49ers allow 13 points at home, but the Giants score 28 points on the road.

If the 49ers can score 27 points Sunday, what are the chances the Giants can win? Not very good at all...

 
In the past 13 seasons, there have been 5 teams with with a YAPP (yards allowed per point) over 20 that have reached their conference's title game:

2000 Ravens

2001 Eagles

2002 Buccaneers

2010 Packers

2011 49ers

The Ravens, Buccaneers, and Packers all won the Super Bowl. The Eagles lost the conference title game to the Rams. The 49ers...to be determined. What's really odd about this grouping is that the 49ers are the only ones playing this game at home. Ravens won at Oakland, Eagles lost at St. Louis, Buccaneers won at Philadelphia, and the Packers won at Chicago. The 3 Super Bowl champs were all wild cards.

You kinda have to look at how those points were scored and also when. Against SEA, they had Ginn score on 2 returns for TD's while the 49ers had only one rush TD from Smith (with no passing TDs thrown). The other part of the scoring was Akers on FG's. They smoked TB so bad that Kaep even led a scoring drive. They are far from explosive, being that Akers is their leading scorer in the regular season. SF plays it close and then ramps the offense up for a drive or two, then goes conservative given the circumstance. The game against NO they jumped out early and had 5 TO's but only had 17 points to show for it, then burst out late. They played SEA, DAL, TB, CLE, NYG, AZ, PIT and STL this season at home. Akers scored 87 out of the 211 points scored at home. Take that FWIW.

to be fair, that is a statistical analysis based on 8 games...in which one game (the TB game) skewed a lot. the Niners had a pretty manageable schedule at home to say the least.as fast as the game goes, I agree with whoever said they're more worried about this game than the Saints game. The Saints D was ###. The Giants D that is clicking is worrying me much more. I'd rather play the Patriots than the Giants at this point, because the Niners D will cancel out the strong offense and their defense is godawful. With that said, I think if the Niners play their game just like they've played all season long, force turnovers and don't turn the ball over, they have a pretty dam good chance to win it. Key is to get Eli to throw picks or get rattled. Wind will help, I don't think rain will though.

Points are points. Even the FGs, ST, and defensive scores go up on the board.

You were right the first time. IMO he is not a true fan nor a realist. He will jump back on the wagon when they have another season like 89, winning handily and winning pretty. The dude is Randy Quaid from Major League. Always finding a way to bash the team even when things are going relatively well.

I agree with this ... though I think it is highly unlikely the niners will score 27 against the Giants the way there defense is playing. Giants have let up an average of 12.5 (arguably 10.25) over the last 4 (all must win) games against the 1,7,13 and 15 scoring offenses this season (only 20 (really 13) angainst the #1 offense @ GB)At home SF defense allowed avg of 6.7 pts vs. 6 very bad offenses and 26.3 pts vs. 3 Good offenses (see rank and pts allowed below)

PIT (21) 3

SEA (23) 17

ARZ (24) 7

TAM (27) 3

CLE (30) 10

STL (32) 0

NO (2) 32

NYG (9) 20

DAL (15) 27

 
I'm sure the logic students will bash this under "this stat has no bearing on the outcome" catergory but the NY Giants record in NFC Championship Games is 4-0(including a win at SF). When they get there, they finish the job.

So then if SF pulls it off, I would expect you to choose SF to win the Super Bowl since they are 5-0 there? ;)
 
Out of all the pointless stats that have been thrown around this week leading up to the big game, this one actually scares me for some odd reason.

"In the history of the NFL playoffs, teams who are coming off a playoff victory over the defending Super Bowl champions are 0-14 straight up, the following week."

Hoping BIG BLUE can buck this trend.

I don't see where I didn't point that out.
 
To keep with the "true fan" theme:

SAN FRANCISCO -- Don't yell, don't curse, don't flip the bird -- and don't even think about insulting anyone's mother.The San Francisco 49ers and the NFL have adopted extraordinary security measures for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the New York Giants after opposing fans complained of harassment by unruly 49ers faithful last week.Undercover police will be dressed in Giants' garb and on the lookout for nasty fans. Giants fans will be handed a card as they enter Candlestick Park with details on how to contact police if they feel threatened. And more security cameras and undercover police officers will be in place to identify abusive fans.Season-ticket holders have also been warned to follow the NFL fan code of conduct: no foul or abusive language or obscene gestures and no verbal or physical abuse of opposing team fans.

i dont think giants fans have been disrespectful at all in here:shrug: im a 49er fan who lives in ny and all i hear out of giants fans is they are confident but thats because they won 4 games in a row and they just beat the defending super bowl champs on the road. they are also very cautious cuz they know the niners are fore real.

As a giants fan I am not downgrading the niners. This team reminds me so much of the Parcell Giants team. A great 3-4 defense lead by the best Lbs in the NFL, great pass rush, and with a ball control offense that doesn't turn the ball over. The Niners like to go out their and just physical dominant a team. I saw the Giants win two superbowls with such a team and similar philosophy and it has me worried. As I said earlier in this thread this game should be a war and a close game. I think the Giants will win but of course I am a Giants fan.ETA - Giants vs Niners just feels right. When I grew up the Niners were always the team you had to beat and it is great to see a matchup that hopefully rivals those old games. I cant wait for this game.

Do you just want to debate whatever you can find that will get people to engage? This stuff is horrible, but you love reaching for whatever might get a rise. Anything, to get someone to yap with you... :hophead:

Well, here is one Giants fan that is not as confident as the others. I watched that SF Def fly around the field last week. 9ers have a great LBer core and Def line that may be able to give the Giants fits. 9ers and their fans will be up for this game and the stick should be loud and rocking!
 
This will be a nail-biter of a game. Cheering on the Niners amongst a bunch of Giants fans in NYC should be insanity. Nerves are kicking in already

and still got a long while to go.

I'm rarely confident as a Giants fan, especially this year with a team that seems so "Jekyll and Hyde".

As far as this game, although I like the Giants straight up, but I'd feel a whole lot better on just about any other field. The bad weather plus the wet and soft field that is Candlestick has me worried considering how un-Giants like the Giants run game is this year.

I think the Giants best game plan would be to get ahead early and make the 49ers try to catch up, not the 49ers strength. The weather and the field might make possibility less likely.

Count me amongst the optimistic, but less that confident Giants fans.

 
I'm starting to lose faith as a Giants fan. Lots of little things will add up to big things. Ballard looking iffy, Nicks banged up and then putting a cross country flight on top of it. Wet, windy weather. None of these things are good for the Giants and could be big for the Niners.

30-17 Niners in my head right now, Tynes misses two FG under 40 yards.

 
ETA - Giants vs Niners just feels right. When I grew up the Niners were always the team you had to beat and it is great to see a matchup that hopefully rivals those old games. I cant wait for this game.
This is a good point. Its a fun reversal to see the Niners being the dominant D/pound out O with a game manger at QB vs. the high powered passing game and deep DL of NY.I'm hoping Justin Smith pulls a Leonard Marshall today.

Stop being a PUZ ... The Giants defense is much better than the niners right now.Giants had about 4 or 5 defensive players either out or very injured last game (Boley, Tuck, Amuckamora, Blackburn). They were without Bradshaw, Jacobs had just recently come back from an injury and Nicks had missed the previous game with an injury and was held to only 2 catches. The running game is much better now ... Jacobs and Bradshaw are averaging almost 5 yds per carry in the playoffs.Also contrary to what niner fans are saying Gore was healthy enough to be coming off 5 consecutive 100 yard games and the Giants shut him Down (6 carries for 0 yds) and knocked him out of the game.My confidence is growing by the second

and you still lost. you think the niners offense is still the same as that last game? trust me we have come around a lot and smith has way more confidence. we are hitting harder if thats even possible, how many rbs did we knock out of the game this year, its gotta be a record. aldon and justin smith have a groove going now too, look for your qb to be on his ### all game.
 
It's simple, if they force Alex Smith to throw, SF is toast. If they hit Eli a couple times, NY is toast. This will be a defensive game.
