49ers thanks in advance for the trip to the NFC championship game
- Thread starter ColdBlooded
- Start date
Lol @ this thread being 6 pages already
Saints were in the playoffs last year. The 49ers . . . oh wait.
That's your rebuttal? Didn't we ALMOST beat you? LOL It would be more reasonable for me to say "didn't we stomp you in the pre-season?"
Saints lost due to injury. The lack of running game was a result of how depleted their team was due to injury. The saints limped into the playoffs last year and the results were evident. The Saints won't need a running game against the 49ers because as statistically poor as the Saints D is they are going to cause problems for SF. As good as SF's D is they aren't going to be able to stop the Saints from scoring and the 49ers can not put up points to match the Saints.
Won't be this year. GB, NO, NE all positioned to prove that wrong.
Me too
What kinda bets are the 49ers fans going to be making?

Im glad they are doubting us, this is shaping up to be just like the SF Giants World Series Run, lots n lots of similarities, Niners Have arguably the best defense (Giants had best pitching), Every1 wants to doubt us, we played the Braves (said wed lose), the philies (comparable to the Saints in football terms, their strength is their offense, and they have a good defense as well). i have faith in my squad, we aint playin in no pussu ass dome brehs, the aints will come marching in, and leave crawling out.
oh u mean like the cowgirls usually do? lol
i seen this from Kevin Lynch, has some good points
The Saints beat the Lions 45-28 to become the 49ers opponent Saturday Jan. 14 at Candlestick Park in the divisional playoff round. No surprise there. Nevertheless, the Saints performance was hardly dominating and the Lions defense did things the 49ers just don’t do such as:
–They couldn’t tackle running back Pierre Thomas. He broke at least 10 tackles to compile 66 yards on eight carries and he caught six passes for another 55 yards. The 49ers are, possibly, the best tackling team in football.
–The Lions had no running attack in this game (10 rushes, 32 yards). The 49ers own the eighth-best running game in the league.
–Lions middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch had a horrible game. He was constantly manipulated by Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Tulloch was also late covering the middle in the Lions two-deep defense. That won’t happen with 49ers linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman, who have more speed and hopefully, more awareness than Tulloch.
–The Lions had two horrendous coverage breaks that led to touchdowns. They forgot to cover tight end Jimmy Graham who scored on a 3-yard touchdown. They did the say thing with Robert Meacham on a 56-yard score. The 49ers haven’t committed glaring coverage mistakes this year in their secondary.
–Detroit got little pressure on Drew Brees. The 49ers should get more with their front four, which has accounted for 32 of the team’s 44 sacks.
–The Lions linebackers struggled in coverage in nickel situations. Again, Bowman and Willis should be better than Tulloch and Justin Durant.
–The 49ers made 23 interceptions during the season. The Lions dropped three picks in this game.
also another good point i read was that we played the saints in the preseason and they went all out with the blitzes and alex took them big hits in that game..... perfect bulletin board material/inspiration.... look for Brees to take hits, and the defense to support their QB....

Seems like you got answers for everything, i can do the same. The saints offense will not get 550 plus yards on our defense like they have been doing to other squads. In the event that they do 4 teams have went 450+ yards on us this season and we still went 3-1 in those games. The 49ers give up a lot of plays but lock down in the red zone and make teams settle for field goals or create turnovers. Drew Brees will be starting his drives from his own 20 and deeper. Our special teams is on point haven't allowed a kick return or punt return all season. Your defense will have no answer for our running game and that will lead to drew brees sitting his ass on the bench most of the game. Also LOL @ limping in. Really limping in?? what do you call what the shehawks did going into the playoffs with a 7-9 record?? no excuses you guys got piped down. Also never heard of a team not needing a running game, the running game is what opened up the game for you guys yesterday against the lions. The running game is the key to everything in the NFL. No running game you turn in to a one dimensional team.
