This Team is where I thought they would be in the preseason

meh. how do u not resign smith i guess, especially if this team wins in the divisional round

i would hate hate hate hate if they got manning. dude is a dog to ever play a full season again and his contract is out of this world crippling. i do hope they don't stand pat with kaepernick and smith though and do draft a qb. a lot of qbs in this draft class are gonna fly under the radar despite being pretty good and are def worth taking a flyer on

What do we think this team will do? I think they will go to the Super Bowl... I don't know if they can beat Baltimore though.

Not sure. Baltimore has been less than stellar away from home. They beat us on a short week at their home on a Thursday. They definitely beat our ass but we aren't nearly that bad and won't be that bad if we play them in Indy.

I think we lose in the NFC title game to the Packers. If that happens I'll be thrilled b/c it means we beat the Saints who I think are pretty overrated at this point. Packers are a little overrated as well but we will likely lose to them if we meet in Lambeau. I'd be stoked to get to that point. This season has been a success and a win+ in the playoffs would be really awesome.

got my ticket for the divisional round

brag: lower bowl
beat: behind the end zone
variance: $324

anyone else goin, lemme know if u want. we'll grab a pregame $50 beer

I will be having beer... In Wisconsin, hoping to go to NFCC and Super Bowl. Lambeau is always a fun experience but the fans are stupid people. I went to the B1G Title Game in Indy... Lucas Oil is such a beautiful stadium

nice!

The thing about this team that excites me so much, but yet stresses me out, is that I feel like they can win the whole damn thing or lose their first game.

If they win a game and get to the NFC Championship game I'll be happy. Unless someone upsets the Packers, at which point I'll want a Super Bowl appearance, which would possibly make me faint and think I'm in a dream lol.

I am 22a and a huge fan of the Niners, Brewers and Badgers football/basketball. So I have seen a little success but have never expireneced a championship appearance for the whole thing. I am enjoying this and would cry if they would win it all

Niners and Giants but I am 28, so i was just coming into my fandom during the run in the early nineties. So I had some very good years there, and then the decade of blah just recently has taken me out of football viewing for a while.

I did enjoy my first taste of baseball glory a year and 3 months ago though, mmmmmmmmmm so sweet. Hoping to get some adult football love here this year.

I had very low expectations for the Giants in the playoffs a year and change ago, so when they took down the Braves, Phillies, and then Rangers; the feeling was indescribable compared to if I had high expectations. Therefore, I will have zero expectations such as when preseason started for the Niners. I was also very pessimistic about the Giants offense when they snuck in, and I have been very focal about the niners weak WR corp this whole year.

Surprise me.

Oh yea, apparently I root for the Warriors but I don't know why, they suck.

Eh, the NBA in general sucks, switch to the Sharks, then you can be hopeful and ultimately disappointed every year for the next 20 or so.

I think most of us got our first taste of baseball glory 15 months ago.

Thankfully I'm 46 so remember all past FB glory. I think the red zone offense catches up to us in Green Bay. We'd kill Baltimore in a rematch, they had absolutely everything go their way and played phenomenally and still only won 16-6.

My fear is we're dominating GB or NO, playing our game, up 16-10 and driving late. Alex maybe forces something, Harbaugh wastes a timeout on a dumb challenge, and then Rodgers or Brees marches for the winner aided by a bad PI call.

But we are in this thing, the 2 seed is just huge, LOL Saints losing to both STL & TB.

Anyone read that dumbass in Bill Simmons mailbag yesterday? So stupid it almost is indescribable but:

Nice going, Adam Perry of Boulder, CO, other than the fact you're 100% wrong about Harbaugh's NFL career & coaching style. As for the Steelers, Harbaugh kicked the crap out of them in the '96 AFC Chmp Game, it was the defense, specifically Quentin Coryatt who lost that game. Douche.

Let's go Lions!

you realize most people who talk about the 49ers dont even watch their games right? I live on the east coast and if I didnt seek it out I wouldnt even know the 49ers are a team.

Anyway Saints looked easy to disrupt on offense and overall extremely overrated. Should be a blow out for the niners.

I actually wanted to play Saints. Theyre pretty LOL on the road. Plus on grass they score TDs in the Red Zone 32% of the time and Niners give up TDs in red zone 25% of the time at the stick

I'm much more confident now. If we play our game we'll win. Everything you need to do to beat the Saints we do well, except red zone offense.

Saints are awesome no doubt, and if we play like we did in the 4th Q against AZ & STL we'll get smoked. But their big wins are against ATL & DET, the two phoniest playoff teams in years. And they lost to both STL & TB. The Lions suck, none of their starters would start for us except Calvin, never mind their coaches. HFA & bye are just huge.

I'm most worried about intangibles. Saints have huge edge in PO exp. Payton & Brees are excellent combo that ain't gonna choke or panic if they get behind. Hopefully, our guys won't be too hyped up or distracted by ticket requests or try to win the game in the 1st Q by themselves. Harbaugh played in big games in NFL and coached big games in college so doubtful he's one of those coaches who starts to overthink, fiddle & tinker in post-season.

As long as we stay healthy and play our game I make us a slight fave to make the Supe. Playing NE in a dome is problematic, but ldo let's not get ahead of ourselves.

EDIT Ok, they beat the Giants & Houston too. At home.

Yeah, it's the same deal with nat'l NBA writers on the Jazz, just obv that they have never watched them or read any local coverage.

Been afraid to say we could blow them out but we could if Fang gots schemes to get Aldon rolling. I think Harbaugh might call some long passes early too. Am I crazy to think the Giants might be the toughest matchup, what with all of GBs injuries and D issues?

Ravens are winning the AFC. Pats defense is legit bad. They are 0-2 vs teams above .500. I hope the Pats get Tebowed. Niners vs Ravens super bowl... 19-17 win for Niners. I don't care that it is slightly bias.

I think people are going to be shocked at how well Alex Smith plays. His ability in the pocket looks effortless and confident even with people breathing down his throat. I also feel like he could have a big day on the ground. That play where he fell down and got up and scored v Rams was so legit.

Seriously P Willis is going to go so hard Drew Brees might die if he tries anything out of line.

Smith, Smith and Smith will all step up imo. Vernon Davis better catch the 2 or 3 long balls thrown his way when he is open.

Stafford would start for us. Suh would start for us as well.

Bowman killed whats his name on the Rams the other week. Broke that guys ankles and killed their comeback.

Seriously can't wait

will be epic if/when another world class defense shuts out an overrated louisiana based football team!

Geaux home, imo
