It’s funny to hear the noise coming out of New York about how “we are not going to be denied at this point” according to Antre Rolle. Much is made of their winning 3 of their last 4 just to REACH the playoffs. And their wins over Atlanta and now GB in the WC and divisional rounds to reach the NFC Championship game. Beyond the fact that the refs did all they could to GET GB the win, the Giants prevailed over a distracted and very out of synch Green Bay team. Whether because of Rodgers taking 3 weeks off, or the tragedy that befell them, Green Bay looked unprepared and out of sorts. They dropped a ton of passes all day, and add the Hail Mary TD to close the 1st half, and GB was in trouble. And much is made of the ‘businesslike’ atmosphere surrounding the win. There was no jubiliation on the plane ride home. Just watching game film of the Niner win.
“We’re just white hot,” said Giants punter Steve Weatherford, who went to the past two A.F.C. championship games as a member of the Jets. “Now it’s less about the playoff run. It’s more about winning the Super Bowl now.”
The punter? Really? Sure. For all the talk of the Giants being hot, what of the Niners? Winners of 4 in a row, 5 of their last 6, and 14 of their last 17 games? Much will be made this week of what the Giants have overcome. Yippee. Bring it on. Ignore the 49ers. Again. The east coast media will buy into this hook, line, and sinker. Much like all the Brees talk before Saturday, there was no reason to play the game. The results were ordained. Until they weren’t.
Speaking of comparisons, it’s fairly easy to compare this team to the 2010 San Francisco Giants. A team the Giants fans thought would be very tough to beat if they could just GET into the playoffs. Well, they did, and they ran the table. This 49er team is also built for the playoffs. They are strong in every phase of the game. Especially defense. For all the yards NO got, the Niners shut down their offense for large stretches of game. The special teams group was nothing short of spectacular lat Saturday. The offense? Well, 2 game saving TDs in the last 2:11 won the game. Something that had never been done before.
The point being, much will be made of the determination of the Giants. I don’t think that comes close to standing up to the overall dominance of the 49ers. I thought the Niners would win last week going away. I think THIS one is the easier win. The fact remains, New York doesn’t run well. Eli can be pressured into making mistakes. The Niners just need to take care of the blocking up front. I think the Niners come out running. Gore didn’t play much in the previous game, and I think he wears down a Giants team that will have little answer to his slashing runs. With the run game clicking, the Niners go to play-action. If they can draw the LBs up to take the double-teams off of VD, then he could have another big game. The Giants did contain him most of their previous matchup, though he did get loose on a 31 yard TD. I would LOVE to see some fly pattern action with KW. Maybe even Swain. The little white dude is FAST, and the non-PI-call on his go-route could have been a game-changer. The point being, the Niners, as Merrill Hodge has pointed out, are the best team in the playoffs based on all facets of their play.
So, I’m going with the same score this week as I did with last week. 31-20, Niners.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
I guess I’m not up on my Jay-Z songs . . .

The ESPN guys are a hoot- Giants’ talking smack and one 49er responds- and now we are totally fucked, we played right into their hands, might as well not even play the game…
And a couple of their idiots are saying Alex fucked up on his TD run by not kneeling down at the one. Not content with that, he never should have thrown the game-winner to VD…
Two words for the first idea…Phil Rivers
On the second, he and the coaching staff are getting knocked for not giving Brees the chance to beat them in overtime- this after bitching that not kneeling down gave Brees the chance to beat them in regulation..
Translation: The 49ers should all have just knelt down before kickoff and said “fuck me, please”..
Yeah, East Coast mentality is always been the West coast is second best. I think that is cause the west coast teams of the 80’s and 90’s dominated the NFL. lets face it even the Raiders were a good team back then.
one of my sons (born in nj and we lived there during his formative years) is a NY Giants fan. I told him i’m going to teach him how to be a good winner. the trash talk has already started in our house.
Frederick P. Soft has taken over the NY playas, their fans and the media… JH’s teams don’t pull that crap…
Giants maybe had their Supa Bowl against GB and this will be an anti-climax? Bring it!
That hippie Swain might be fast, but I have yet to see any seperation from the DB.Anytime Alex throws to him it’s more likely to get picked then completed.
Just before the long gainer to Vernon that set up the game winner, Alex just missed Swain on a long one, Swain did have a step. I’m fine with them missing that,
Swain was held on that play.
Got to hand it to Mike Nolan, the dude always finds work.Now he’s the DC for the Atlanta Falcons.Let’s see been with Ravens…Redskins…Niners…Broncos…Dolphins anywhere else?
Think he hires Singletary as his LB coach?
Not if he wants to keep this job Chuck…even Nolan isnt that stupid to take on Singletary a 2nd time.
Niners vs Giants Scoring Calls:
31-24 NIners Phil
30-17 Niners twinfan
30-21 Niners Chuck
I’ll add comments later. Funniest wins a case of Chuck’s favorite Scotch if there’s any left by now.
Place yer bets gentlemen
31-20 . . .
Ok will fix. thanks
Responding to a tongue in cheek post of twinfan (1/17/12 @ 9:18 AM): Phil wanted to repost this gem:
The issue is civil rights not athletes. We’ve heard minority/special interest groups flap their jaws about their rights in the US forever. Muhammad Ali prolly the first Muslim athlete to exercise his First Amendment right to free speech. Fine. So twin do Christians have the right to free speech incl. public prayer? Or maybe they should just “stfu”? I see yer feelin’ betta…ok then, good.
Going for a trifecta here: 9ers are going to be God’s avenging angels sent on a mission to wreck an unholy vengeance on behalf of Tebow and everyone who are sick of the Brady Bunch and the Cheeta. Their moments of glory are soon to be OVAH! And Long May We Reign!
BTW Spit foolishly refuses to say those magic words on Skeeb’s blog “I was wrong about Alex”. Chuck is going over there and ripping him a new one five times a day. Pride coupled with ignorance is not a great combo! (Just spit it out man, lol!)
No one has denied T-blow his right to free speech. I dare say he avails him of it ad nauseum. But free speech also extends to those wishing he would STFU.
As to public prayer, you’ll need to study our laws, this is America and the Supreme Court has ruled on the matter. It’s not a matter decided by wackos with a real agenda of denying rights to others.And it’s certainly not a matter for non-citizens…But I don’t personally have a problem if people want to T-Blow in public..
The Supreme Court has ruled that private individuals have no right to pray in public? That’s the issue here and no I don’t think so.
Bone up on our laws bonehead
Blah blah blah. Edited by Chuck . . .
Even Kurt Warner has said he should tone it down. And former Bronco QB Jake Plummer said this:
“Jake Plummer said recently that he wished Tebow would “just shut up after a game. . . . I think that when he accepts the fact that we know that he loves Jesus Christ, then I think I’ll like him a little better. I don’t hate him because of that, I just would rather not have to hear that every time he takes a good snap or makes a good handoff.”
Warner? Plumber? WTF. Next you’ll be saying we should listen to Mike Nolan on running an NFL franchise
Enough already. This isn’t the ACLU or the Soapboxes Unlimited. Let’s just all praise the Lord that Tebow’s out of the playoffs. Ol’ debbil-breath himself, Bill Belichick is still hanging in there, though. Talk about moving in mysterious ways . . . BTW, Tebow got the most lukewarm support from Elway this morning. And for good goddamn reason. Yeah, Elway will work with him. Good luck with that, John. The other 23.5 hours will be spent by John looking for another QB to step in and play QB for the Broncos. I wonder if he makes a concerted push for a guy like Matt Flynn.
Funny, ESPN is all aquiver about a possible rematch of the 2007 Super Bowl. I think Belichick has a better chance of keeping either of the Harbaughs out of the big game. It would be pretty fricking crazy if theis turnes into Harbowl Super Bowl. . . .
Sounds good to me, I’ll think post some favorite Teblowing pics over on “B”..
You want a room here too, Mike?
Hey, Tebowing is the new planking . . .
This blog is so important for Phil and Denny, Chuck. Phil in particular considers himself the soul of the blog.
Right all-knowing One. You just like to stir the shit is all. That’s clear by now to one and all. I just happen to have a lot more soul than you twin.
The Great Projector = my shit = your shit, wahwahwah
Phil, I’m turning down Chuck’s offer to have my own page here . It’s a favor for you and DTD.
Is the offer still good, Chuck?
You’ll have to check with SoapBoxes Unlimited and see if they any big enough platforms there twin
Phil, maybe the denizens of your cave approve of your racist tirades, but most Bay Area people shun your kind. You may think that disapproval is “PC”, but if your are to get back in our country, there are places where you’ll find plenty of your kind..
Man you blow harder than any NFL QB ever would
But I’ll tell you what- keep your wacko politics off of this blog and I will not refer to Tebow again..
Fuck you dickwad. Got chuck on speed dial to bail yer sorry ass out. right?
Blah blah blah. Edited by Chuck . . .
T-Blow never his had right to free speech violated, you dumb shit. You wanted to deny that right to others- wanna your see your quotes, moron?
Blah blah blah. Edited by Chuck . . .
Right I forgot the evil twin knows all. But the delusions you invent Lazarus are only a reflection of your fears.
I really hope twin is NOT chuck’s darkside, God help us!
Blah blah blah. Edited by Chuck . . .
Blah blah blah. Edited by Chuck . . .
Tebow is a legit subject as he plays FOOTBALL. Even his pseudo-religious posing all over the place. The rest? No.
Phil, I really don’t know what point you are trying to push here. Christmas is under attack? Please.
If this goes on, I’m deleting them all.
just edit their posts to say dumb shit. It takes 5 seconds and it’s entertaining as Hell.. Loo would be beside himself.
I’d hate to see the mood around here if we’d have lost on Saturday……..
Look, I get the argument you guys have going but it’s not the place for it. Go find a Tebow/religious/free speech blog. Better yet, just go start one and go to town on each other. I’m still waiting for one of you to find me the FUCKING RANKINGS OF TOTAL POINTS SCORED IN THE RED ZONE IN THE NFL IN 2011.
As Twin said, apparently this is classified information………
Phil’s boy did lose this weekend.
And WTF is this “Lazarus” bullshit? I have no problem with my “contribution” to this crap getting deleted but I thought there had been enough hate speech.
Just for the record, I don’t know what the “Lazarus” reference is to. I have zero religion in my background though so that might explain it.
I’m not saying the Lazarus reference is hate speech, it’s the Blah blah blah. Edited by Chuck . . . crap.
Lazarus was restored to life by Jesus after his death. I don’t what his reference to me means, but I don’t want to hear it again.
I’m sorry I can’t delve into that here as Chuck won’t be pleased if we carry on with this off topic pissing contest.
Never say it again.
LOL the evil twin rules!
Yeah, based off that definition (that I could care less about since it’s hocus pocus jibber jabber) I see what you mean. It’s unexpected and unnecessary to make the religious shit connection……
Blah blah blah. Edited by Chuck . . .
Blah blah blah. Edited by Chuck . . .
Actually, no, Phil You are the one that overreacted. You are the one who went socio-political. I got sick of it on my last blog, and I ain’t gonna take it here.
Not from me you won’t right. Why is it that the evil twin gets an almost unlimited number of passes tho? You delete all that crap below and he’s Still throwing it. Just wondering.
Well, I’m going to bed. Like the Hanger, Phil will be doing his posting when everyone else is sleeping. The “18” insults dipshit is referring to, he’s used that before. I insulted DTD for making threats against our QB ( and on another blog, our President. That’s where Phil stands..)
Fuck off dipstick
Phil, if you haven’t already outed yourself as an Internet nut just STFU already. You are clearly a legit Niner fan. Use the booze excuse and get back to blogging about this team you clearly love as much as the rest of us
Flavor did you get another speed dial distress call from The evil twin? Funny how ya show up to triangulate with your buddy when he can’t handle being wrong. “On the laws of my country” . This has happened more than once around here.so the obvious inference is after an hour or so of losing the discussion suddenly you show up to express your support… I’m not buying the triangulation game so will discount all yer manipulative comment so far today.
Yeah twin’s the fucking victim, uh huh.
As far as the red zone rankings go, I can only extrapolate that the Niners must be around the top 6 or 8. They were 29th in red zone TDs, but were 11th in scoring. They led the league in FGs. 66% of which were kicked in the red zone.
Sorry, no solid numbers witout a TON of calculating that I’d never get paid for.
I would, however, do it for $75.00 an hour.
Blah Blah Blah- actual dialog engaged in everyday by everybody..
A comedian said this (John Oliver of the Daily Show), not me, but if we’re deleting, this is a good one:
JOHN OLIVER: If I was in a room with Tim Tebow and bin Laden and I had a gun with one bullet in it, I’d shoot bin Laden. I’m not a monster. But if I had two bullets, I’d shoot Tim Tebow first!”
Chuck will never ever cross his evil twin now will he?
I find that shocking and only repeat it in the hopes that people recognize that kind of talk for what it is:
really fucking funny..
Sure you do since you are quite clear that chuck won’t stop yer provoking and abusing. Nice little triangular world you live fellas.
I said last week WTF NOT for the Niners to win over the Saints.
I repeat again here, the Niners over the Giants to go to the Super Bowl? WTF NOT?…

East Coast media via Dan Graziano on Sando’s NFC West Blog sez; Why Not?
-The Giants’ defense always feeds off its pass rush, and surely Smith will see much more pressure than he saw Saturday against the Saints
-The Giants are so much healthier on defense this time around
-Beating the 49ers requires striking through the air.
-…the 49ers either lost or barely won when opponents averaged 7.0 yards per called pass play and/or completed 65 percent of their throws. Manning hit those marks almost exactly the last time.
-The 49ers’ pass protection is a concern
-…the most important thing he Jim H) can do is make sure no 49ers think they know anything about the Giants based on the Week 10 game. Because this Giants team bears almost no resemblance to that one.
-. I think the game comes down to turnovers.
Sando and Graziano both had plenty to say positive about the 49ers: Sando:
-The 49ers have committed only one turnover since Week 12. Some might say that makes them due. I’m more inclined to say it makes them dangerous.
Lazarus sent out his distress signal and Flavor and chuck show up to support the liitle guy, happens every time. THAT is the dynamic working here. Laz/evil twin knows chuck will never cross him and that Flavor will always support him. SO he’s the biggest dickwad on the blog because of this alliance = fixed game.
Wow. Paranoia, anyone? Phil, you’re just a distasteful worm. The only dynamic working here is that you’ve exposed yourself as a possibly dangerous wacko . Thank goodness you’ve already been expelled from our country. As you’ve found out, your kind is not tolerated here and never will be. Now don’t you have some pig’s eyes to poke out for dinner?
Chuck asked: @ 8:14 PM
My dear Phil,
I do not understand yer motivation for rambling on about stuff like Tebow, etc. What could it possibly be?
Guess we’ll never know LOL chuck since ya deleted the rest of my freakin; post, now will we.?
Phil if you haven’t noticed, I deleted a bunch of Twin’s posts as well. So, shut the fuck up about favoritism.
This is about the 49ers, not about the political leanings of you guys. I could give a rat’s ass. Keep it up and I’ll keep editing them.
Then clear the rest of his bullshit, mine too, I don’t have a right wing agenda that needs airing. And if I hear anymore hate speech from him or his crony, I’ll take a look some of the tools still at my disposal.
Not that I’d do such a thing- but one of my software tools can remotely wipe out the partition on a hard drive- without a partition- all data is gone. Only an evil twin would do such a thing, fortunately, I am not evil..

Chuck ready to push the delete button? News at Eleven. Go NINERS!
So Phil has taken Doomins place as the antagonist of the blog, first we had V, and Spit. Dennis is a lesser evil of those two. So where does Phil fit in?? less than the first two but more than Dennis or less than Dennis. Only time will tell. As far as TF goes, knowlegeable guy, not always right but who is. He can be a bit crotchety at times but for the most part an entertaining dude.
Yeah, he’s fried, now ya gotta listen to this? May God Have Mercy on Yer Soul!
And on twin’s…
