Here we go. A shot at our 3rd NFC Championship game in a row. We do know that to get to the Super Bowl we would have to go through Seattle. Stop me if you think the Seahawks were pretty nondescript in their win. If not for the fumble, the Saints could have taken over in the 2nd half and won. And if Marcus Colston didn’t have the biggest brain fart in sports history, well, they could have tied it.
Anyhow, as much I would have loved to see the championship come here, it would be a certain kind of special to beat Seattle in the Ding dome next week. Today? Well the biggest thing we need is a better showing by the offensive line. Mike Iupati was dinged up, and of course VD got dinged up early and Celek was out as well. I think Eric Reid went out as well, and Aldon Smith was just returning from his rehab. And Crabs of course. The biggest missing piece. With all that, the Niners were a near-completion to V McD that was broken up from kicking a game winning FG.
Surprising in the 2nd game was the effectiveness of LeGarrette Blount. Indy’s defense was great at keeping Brady out of the end zone, but not the running backs. For all the injuries NE has overcome, they are doing a pretty good job of things.
For once can we have a laugher?
Kap looks terrible
49er offense looked good until Tukuafu got hurt. These guys have no idea what to do without a FB.
Panthers jiving trash talking punks. May have gotten into the 49ers heads a little already.
Well they are in a dog fight now. Nothing working on offense.
Newton had about a week to throw that time.
Wow that graphic said it all!! Niners 2.7 yards per play, Carolina 7.8. Not good!!
Newton outplaying Kap.
Is Kaep feeling the pressure to win??
No balance. Their D can go after CK7. Gotta show ’em everything to keep the D honest.
Terrible defensive call. Rushing three is not going to work today.
Fuck. C’mon defense.
Olson ran away from Cox that time.
No pressure at all. Gameplan on both sides of the ball sucks!
Bad coverage on that 3rd dn. That’s goes w/o saying…
This is getting ugly fast!!
If not for the tipped INT and the goal line stand, we’d be in an even deeper hole right now.
This could get away from us fast.
What has happened to Willis? Seems a step slow.
We’re getting completely blown off the line, THis game may be over early.
Cox hurts us in the nickel. Rogers isn’t great but much better than Cox. Lack of pass rush hurts even more.
Wow,
Just thoroughly outplayed and out coached so far
