That's the key. Not taking anything away from SF but you can't honestly tell me you'd rather play the the Saints.

a one dimensional indoor team in the cold? maybe. gotta beat nyg first though.

[King Friday]

he should have had 2 or 3 int's though. the saints secondary can't catch anything. even their own coach said so before the game. our d might be one of the worst right now, but we know how to grab those opportunities when they are presented

Has Alex Smith ever played an NFL game in freezing conditions? He doesn't impress me as a guy who will have great accuracy in less than ideal conditions.

gotta beat nyg first. don't poke at the gods.

very very true

but to be honest, the two teams i feared most in the playoffs were the lions and the saint. i"m pretty happy that they are both gone. they were the two hottest teams going into the playoffs

YES. the saint might be a dome team, but the 49ers are a fair weather team.

with san fran, you have to worry about davis burning you, and thats about it other then gore and the run. smith and the other receivers aren't all that special

the saint passing game, dome or not, scared the hell out of me, dome or not. our secondary sucks this year and they have many guys that can burn you. and i wanted nothing to do with that quick little fucker sproles

i hear ya.

lets also not forget one possible huge factor

If we beat NY

its pretty damn clear these days that a-rod has carried a grudge over smith being taken first in the draft and rodgers falling all the way to us. rodgers migh have an extra spark and some more motivation to completely light up the team that passed him up

Sproles could very well have been the death of the Packers.

Love how everyone is giving credit to SF defense... they gave up a ton of yards and forced a bunch of turnovers...

Wait - that sounds like OUR much maligned defense.

That's it! Rodgers has been exorcising demons since he started this run last December: Eagles (4th and 26), Falcons (Vick shredding) last year. Giants (playoffs 2007) at Lambeau in January and Alex Smith (Personal) this year.

Broncos in the superbowl might be a stretch, though.

Fair point. 32 points against SF. 34 against GB.

[pbmax]

Tebow does not run coventional option well. And that was a triple option from shotgun.

[pbmax]

They weren't given shit. They earned it.

FIVE TURNOVERS!

That is quite a present.

Played at Utah. Has to get cold there, doesn't it?

[Pugger]

SF was GIVEN the game...and they had to work their ass off at the end to win it. With all those turnovers, it should've been a walk in the park for SF.

If SF had a better than pedestrian offense that game wouldn't have been close in the end.

We've got another demon to exorcize tomorrow first and take care of those gnats.
