Well, those were some crazy ass games today. Alex Smith matches Andrew Luck TD for TD, throws no picks to Luck’s 3, and still KC loses 45-44 after Smith and Co built up a 38-10 lead minutes into the 2nd half. Philly and NO played a more defensive battle in the cold, and NO wins their historic first road playoff win hitting the game-winning FG as time ran out 26-24. Again, the winning QB was the one throwing picks as Foles had none, and Brees had 2. NO brought something they haven’t shown too much of, and that’s a strong run game. Something KC could have used, but lost early with Jamaal Charles leaving after the 1st series, and the backup RB Knile Davis also going out in the 3rd quarter.
The good news for me, besides the entertainment factor of these games was the fact that the refs were for the most part in the background. There were no blown calls, and there were no game-changing mistakes from the guys in the stripes.
So, here we go. We are the last playoff game, and I think this is another exciting nail-biter. However, I think we can wear down Green Bay’s banged up defense and win this going away. 31-20 in the cold cold cold is still my call.
Forty Niners Forever 
QB draw here?
Third and three, a minute left – we want to get one more FD and run it down to zero if we can.
Last GB timeout.
Get the 1st down that would put it away
The way these last two drives have gone, OT wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen.
Very close here, depends on the spot.
Got it. One more run to center it, then end this shit.
Off-tackle, but brought a few yards. Now make this kick and get the Hell out of Dodge.
Money.
Whew. Just fucking whew. On to Carolina.
Didn’t convince anybody, but that’s been the story in the last four games.
Hello, Carolina! Stop Cam!
Game!!
Gore ends with 66 – but about 15 of them on that last drive were huge. Also Crabs’ catch of that wobbly third down prayer. Kap struggled again but made *Just enough* plays to get away with it.
He had 100 on the ground. That’s the ticket.
I know the coaches want to protect their investment, but this is the playoffs – if it’s there, you have got to let him run it now. He is the most explosive guy on the field.
Exactly. I understand protecting him in the regular season. But GB had no answer for CK7 pulling the ball down and taking off.
Kap = 2 playoff wins on the road (ATL)
Montana = 1 (CHI)
But there’s a little matter of 3 SB wins for Joe
or is it 4?
It’s 4. 1981-1984-1988-1989.
Just a little matter, that. 🙂
and put the lie to the “unbeatable” 46 defense.
28-3 in icy Chi-town as I recall. Great win…stick that in yer refrigerator will ya?
98/225 in -5° degree weather
10AM Mountain Time – did I hear that right?
The weather wasn’t really a factor, very well played game. CK had some shaky moments but when they needed the final drive, he came thru. Another 1 or 2 tough ones loom- and two much better defenses if Seattle wins next week.
At this point in the aeason winning pretty is far behind just winning. Whoa and whew indeed.

Fack! I really didn’t expect this result. Congrats, niner’s fans…
👍👍👌👌👌
I took the niners and gave 4…
Nice 1,
4 straight wins over Rodgers and Green Bay. Just wondering, but shouldn’t that make him our bitch now? How many in a row do we have to hang on him before he’s considered that?
This was a hard fought win. An earned win. Very proud of this team for what they did today.
I think it might be Dom Capers who’s feeling a tad sore in his nether regions..
