So Alex Smith's top receivers for today were VD and ankles.
He needs more help on offense.

Yeah. I'm just pointing out that its weird to praise Eli for this game.
Not really. I think there's like 200-300 posts during the game usually

I thought it would.
God I hope the 49ers brass reads it that way. Surround a shitty player with talent, surely he will find them!

But you see my point, how can you call forward progress being stopped when there are dozens and dozens of fumbles every year where someone falling backwards loses the ball. By that standard the only way to ever cause a fumble is to knock the ball out directly with the guy moving forward in momentum.
Forward progress is a rule to stop the play when 3-4 guys have the guy stood up to prevent injury. Not a haphazard way to blow the play dead because a guy is falling backwards. It's just bullshit, that's all, but this is the NFL of course. They make up the rules as they go along.
You're crazy. Eli is one of the toughest QB's in the league. Everyone forgets how many hits Eli took early in his career and all the shit he's been through. Before the superbowl win he was the most criticized player in the league. Peyton is more valuable. To say that Eli is easy to replace is crazy. He's been clutch since he's taken over the QB position.

Obviously he needs shorter receivers.

Scrappier receivers.

You act as if 49'ers didn't have their chances. They blew it at least 20 times.
Jesus, get over it. It's their own damn fault they lost.

RE: Peyton vs. Eli
Remember that Peyton's played much of his career in a dominant AFC with far better teams than the NFC. Look at this year: 2 out of the 3 teams the Giants played might not have even made the playoffs in the AFC (Falcons and Niners). Niners probably would've got in at like 10-6 but no way ATL makes it.
Peyton had to play through an era with powerhouses like New England, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, San Diego, and so on. There is no debate. That's not even including the stats differences.

I think he gets some of the praise for making some of the throws he did under extreme pressure. Taking monster hits from a very good defensive front that was after him all game long. He made a few questionable throws that might have been picked off but your defense didn't make the plays. It is what it is.etiolate said:
It certainly wasn't his best game but as noted, the Niners defense did a good job of making the Giants one dimensional and contested every throw. He made the plays he had to (the 3rd and 15 to Manningham was HUGE!) Special teams decided the game.

They had their chances but it was a stupid ass whistle that probably would have won the game.

:lol @ the Niners being worse than any team in the AFC.
Maybe the pre-Schaub injury Texans and the pre-Ben injury Steelers.

Cmon dude, try harder
this is true, but eli has been by far the giants best player this year and they wouldn't be close to the playoffs without him.
today he wasn't anything special.
It shouldn't have come down to Kyle but he looked lost on special teams. The play calling in the 4th quarter was terrible. Alex Smith was not good at throwing the ball at all. When he scrambled outside to throw it was almost an automatic incompletion or sack. People will remember Kyle though. He was part of 3 complete disasters.

Yes, the pick is obvious because you have a gut feeling about it, :jnc. How can we possibly refute that flawless logic?

Anyone who is happy after today's events can suck a dick, as far as I'm concerned.
They still made the stop. It was Kyle Williams who fucked the return, not a whistle.
Can we start playing games of HIF with quotes like the offtopic forum does with German, Australia, Florida and news stories?

Peyton also had the luxury in playing in a constant 70F degree stadium in perfect conditions for half of the year his entire career. Eli plays the same number of games in filled swampland that shits rain, snow and fake tanner.
All better then Rex.

Harbaugh looks and acts just like my high school football coach. Probably why I don't like him (outside of being a Wolverine).
the pats would have stomped the texans, don't lie to yourself.

Well the ball would have been on the 20 with a couple minutes left. The defense did their job, and Akers is a virtual lock from that range. yes the offense did jack shit, yes the special teams did jack shit, but the defense earned that win and earned that turnover. That's my only point.

I could see them winning the AFC West but they're not better than Baltimore, Houston, a healthy Pittsburgh team, and of course New England. They'd probably get in with a 9-7 or 10-6 record. I'm not trolling.
