NFC Championship Game Thread: Giants (#4) at 49ers (#2)

919_mediumat 1000_medium

New York Giants (#4) at San Francisco 49ers (#2)

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 | 6:30 PM ET

Giants Coverage: Big Blue View

49ers Coverage: Niners Nation

By the time this game kicks off at 6:30 PM ET, we will know the outcome of the Patriots vs. Ravens AFC Championship game. Of course, as I'm writing this post, we have no idea who will win that game. Hopefully, this thread will be a happy one. If the Patriots lose, it will be a sad one. Heck, maybe we should make two threads: one for good news, and one for bad news. Hopefully, we get good news. If the Patriots do win against the Ravens today, then they will play the winner of this match-up in Super Bowl XLVI.

As for this football game, I think it's going to be a real close one. I'm pulling for the 49ers to win, but similar to the Ravens-Patriots game, I could see the 49ers get into trouble if the Giants have success throwing the ball early. If San Fran can bait Eli Manning into a couple of mistakes (aka Drew Brees from last week), I could see the 49ers winning. However, if the Giants can avoid costly turnovers and keep points off the board on defense, I see them winning in a close one (heck, each time I pick against the Giants they win, so why not pick against them?). Greg's Prediction: Giants 23 49ers 20

Update: So this is a good news thread! The Patriots will play the winner of this game in Super Bowl XLVI.

close one in my opinion – I’m saying it ends 23-20 like another certain game in Niners favor

Totally agree- plus my family can deal with me now- I was not a good person to be near in that second half.

AFC North 10-6 .625
AFC East 8-7 .533
NFC South 6-7 .462

Any preferences on the outcome of this game?

I live in the Bay Area so I have many friends who are Niners fans…I kind of don’t want bad blood if they face the Pats. And I’d like revenge for 2007. But I guess the Pats get whomever they get…

Also, I grew up rooting for the Eagles (and they are still my NFC team)- seeing Akers get another shot at a Super Bowl Ring would be nice.

Rice was the 2nd best RB this year

and led his team in catches and runs. Jacobs and Bradshaw are no where near him. Frank Gore is much scarier.

Cruz scares me. I think we can manage against Nicks. That’s all really. He will hit his receivers, but I think we can come out on top in terms of passing the ball and scoring. Brady was having a bad game last game against the giants in the regular season, and our defense is much better than it was last game.

Tough matchup.

I think the Giants can throw all over this secondary. And with their defensive line, they can most certainly get to Brady more than the Ravens did today.

Wouldn’t have the Pats favored, if the Giants do advance today. Probably a push.

If the Niners win, I’d expect the game to look much the same as this Ravens one today.

I don't see why you see the 9ers as better

Giants have the depth at WR to kill our secondary and if their oline performs well we’re screwed. They still have the pass rush as well. 9ers offense depends on great oline play just to score 20, which manning can put up with bad oline play.

Nicks Cruz manningham would give me nightmares. Ballard is an underrated TE. Bradshaw and Jacobs at running back. Niners have Davis and Gore. Hunter is like woodhead in that he is good but cant win a game. Williams is not that good. Crabtree is okay. They rely on a great oline. The defense is very hard hitting and will be tough, but we put up 23 points on a tough defense. I have confidence that our D could control the 9ers.

Here's my take

The Niners defense is nasty. As nasty as we’d have face all season. Nastier than the Ravens (of whom we only put 23 pts on). They have a stronger running unit than the Giants (Gore > Bradshaw). They RARELY turn the ball over. Smith has had I believe 4 INT all season? And he’s a scrambler. Their punter is a probowler, they can force the Pats deep in their own zone. Vernon Davis is a quick and athletic SOB.

Yes

They are built to stop traditional passing Os. Good Outside WRs, down-the-field passes. The 2 TE offense is a little more unique. I’m not saying we would score 30, but we can score on them

Eli couldn't stop smiling

When he said they’re playing NE in the SB

Don't agree with the Pats being favored at all.

Giants have a more talented team. Their style and players seem tailor-made to stop the Patriots. And that’s their defense vs NE’s offense.

They also have extremely favorable matchups on the other side of the ball.

I specializes in grammar fail.

Thank you!!

Nobody seems to think the Giants have an edge. They have more talent AND they play as a team

there would be less stress playing SF since they are one dimensional.

NYG are multi dimensional. Manning and Cruz will be dangerous.

I hope BB doesn’t do those 4th and 2 again unless it is do or die situation

Was Chung AWOL

I rarely heard Chung’s name called on TV today. Was that my imagination.

Patriots OL better play the NYG’s defense tougher.

last game vs giants

giants played without nicks and bradshaw and still won…. with those 2 back and cruz really in cruise control…. our defense will be blown away… darn it.. haven’t we been complaining about that all season… pats are in the super bowl.. hopefully molden can have the interception this time……either way god help us….

Eli proved he is elite this season...

But it had very little to do with that game. He was gifted the game in overtime. He was gifted 1-2 broken up sure-thing interceptions. He was gifted another 3-7 points on the first muffed punt. Eli played very well, but this game didn’t define him as elite.

His ridiculous 4th quarter comebacks during the regular season are what makes him elite.
