New Orleans Saints (#3) at San Francisco 49ers (#2)
Saturday, January 14th, 4:30 PM ET | TV: FOX
Saints Coverage: Canal Street Chronicles
49ers Coverage: Niners Nation
Before the Patriots host the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional playoffs at 8:00 PM ET, there's another NFL Divisional Playoff game to be played, when the 13-3 San Francisco 49ers host the 13-3 New Orleans Saints at Candlestick Park.
The 49ers represent the NFC's best remaining defense, but today, they will be faced with quite a challenge against the high flying New Orleans Saints. I'm pulling for the 49ers to make this a great game, but Drew Brees and the Saints offense are on a historic roll. The 49ers are a lot better stopping the run then they are stopping the pass, and while I think they put up a close fight for most of the game, I think the Saints pull away down the stretch. Greg's Prediction: Saints 31 49ers 23

Have to go with the underdog 49ers.

I think everyone here would like to see the Saints go down
because if the Pats got to the superbowl we wouldn’t have to face them…
Shawn Johnson... she's a nice lady
First good Niners play.

Anyone heard about Tebow's speech, that he gave to his team today? They gave
him a standing O. We better play and play hard. No gimmies in the 1st half!!
Depth is great. Right up until you need it!!
Lol I heard that... but I sincerely doubt the Broncos will be more motivated than the Pats
Pats arguably have more on the line

i don't think i've ever paid less attention to such a good matchup...
patriots game making me so nervous
This is making me more excited.
Makes me think of Brady vs. Denver’s defense. If Brady is just as good as Brees, and Denver’s defense is not as good as the Niners D, it makes me just have a hopeful picture in my head that Brady will be just fine. :)

NFC teams
honestly looks sharper than AFC teams – if there’s a team who can keep pace it is us and that’s if our defense somehow gels and the staff comes up with good gameplans in the playoffs

Actually
the Saints defense has mostly done a wonderful job given the situations they have been put in
okay..... I am free now but my head hurts....
I’ll most likely won’t chat with you guys during the game. Going to sit, have an ice cold rootbeer in one hand, watch the game with my dad. Depending on the end result, I will talk to ya guys after the pats game.
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP

Rex Ryan: "There’s no way that we’re looking to replace Mark Sanchez"
Patriots Nation: "Thank God"
Giants Fans: "FOUR MORE YEARS!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!"
here are the inactives
inactives: RT Sebastian Vollmer, RB Shane Vereen, QB Ryan Mallett, DT Ron Brace, LB Gary Guyton, OG Donald Thomas, and CB Nate Jones
SF's defense is brutal
But they are going to get tired pretty soon if the offense can’t string together some plays.
Oklahoma State will beat LSU in the National Title game by more than 7 points.
brutally good*
Just to clarify
Oklahoma State will beat LSU in the National Title game by more than 7 points.
Probably red field paint from the logo

Ron Brace = Bust
So disappointing. Welp at least Kyle Love was a good pick

It's a good thing
we selected Nate Solder in last years draft – given how Vollmer has had injury problems all year
Agreed..

Yup, and The saints are going to score again this game..

I know. If they could just muster an attack, this would be theirs to lose.
I think they’re protecting Smith too much w/ the play-calling. “Pull the trigger” Harbaugh! What are you saving it for? More PA, screens, draws. You’ve convinced me you’re willing to run.
