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?
Passing plays are killing us!
Good penalty there. That would have been six.
Bowman!
Terrific sequence by the 49er pass rush.
Newton has way too much time. Let’s keep bringing LBs!!!!!!!!
Coverage sacks are sacks, but we still have to get in a little faster. Long drive of our own and we can salt this away.
Beauty was they burned a lot of clock and got nothing.
One quarter and a few seconds to go, and it’s a two score game. Just got to hold on here and not make mistakes.
Just have to get the field position game going. Get a couple first downs and pin ’em deep. Or get a TD and put this fucker away.
Every first down counts huge now. Great play by Boldin.
Our second-half offense looks like we can go into Seattle with some confidence. The first-half version not so much.
Thank you, Anquan!!
One more score.
GORE!!
Harb’s grandpa died this morning. I’m sure a couple of you will have a field day with that.
That was the same play, run that sealed the deal vs SEA. Go Frank!
I think they need a TD to put this away.
Boldin got three extra yards there. Third and one again.
QB sneak? Looks like it’s only six to twelve inches.
Just take the penalty tree and save the time out
Hell to the no. You take the TO and get the 1st down.
