#10 on the Niners gave the game to the Giants.
He's doing it.
I'm actually interested in seeing Flacco with a good coordinator. He can make all the throws. Gets some happy feet but lots of guys do. He can be a top 10 guy consistently.
But Alex is not an NFL QB. His WRs are a problem, but he was basically Tebow out there. Must upgrade that position if they want to be SB champs. They were also ridiculously healthy this year, which won't happen again next year. Harbaugh will have trouble hiding him again

They had a great talk about it on Inside the NFL if I recall correctly. Might want to check it out.

There is a lot of truth in that. Especially with how protected the QBs are these days.
Buckethead is doing the Pro Bowl thread.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
I still don't know how in the fuck did SF go 1/13 on 3rd Down Conversions
Not once did they call a slant, the G-Men DB's were giving space, what do they do, run gore, run gore, pass into double coverage
Good Job Alex
SF was conservative as fuck, 49'ers fans gotta admit that, at least against NO, you took shots and were pumped, the weather should be an afterthought
SF should've been aggressive, but they went stupid with the "We the Best #2 Eva'", our D hungry, yeah so hungry that you created a famine for yourself

I'm not disputing Montana's greatness. I just think it's stupid to say Brady isn't as good as Montana because of his era when it's obvious both players had help from their respective teams.
And quit it with the straw man arguments, they're older than Steven Tyler ffs.
The Patriots defense is better than the Packers defense was at that point but okay. You're welcome to your opinion, but since you seem to be a Mets and Jets fan, I don't see why I would consider it informed in the slightest!
No Superbowl thread for a week? Who gives a shit about the Pro Bowl anyways.
I appreciate your OPs Buckethead, they are the best of the sports threads. Always super impressed

oh HOW THE FUCK CAN THE NINERS DROP PATRICK WILLIS IN COVERAGE IN 99% OF THE PLAYS THAT IS DISGUSTING
That team is so stacked, too bad Alex Smith is fucking terrible.

Thanks! I'll make sure to send him a letter of appreciation for his charity! It's always good to have a double agent on the other team willing to hand out gimmies!AgentP said:
And Eli's fumble, too.
Someone mentioned the lack of slant routes and that surprised me too. I think they tried going to it on the first play and then never went back. They had their WRs running these comeback routes where they were barely open and Alex was throwing it at their feet because he was scared of a TAINT.
Anyways, just keep Brady and the Pats away from the Niners records.
shitting up more sports threads i see..
Great games today, really enjoyed watching both, definitely helped the bears weren't in either. Tough game how the 49ers lost though.
Well he catches the ball and runs. Kyle Williams looked really shaky all game. Even the routine returns he had where he was tackled around the 20-25, he looked scary out there. One of the punt returns, he actually dove forward to catch in traffic (dumb as shit). Ted Ginn has the experience to know whether to let a ball go or to just get under it and call a fair catch.
Needs more salt.
Take him back please. His love of Eli is frightening in its intensity.
Hopefully Jay Cutler was watching Eli Manning today to learn how to not quit in a Championship game. Oh no he didn't go there. Yes I did!
I asked earlier and the NHL thread said we were stuck with him.

Tom Brady is the best QB of his generation. Thats about the only thing we can argue. The game has changed so much. Even defensively outside of attacking the QB, rules even in favor of the defense have been changed.

Super Bowl thread approx. 20 minutes away.
I'd say it was a tough way to lose for both Ravens and Niners.
You should see his Sedin worship, a truly frightening spectacle.

You are better than that
Sure it is. I'll check back in 3 hours.
we would have hoped his team losing in the stanley cup finals in embarrassing fashion last season and then having a riot in his city would have weakened him, but nope...he's spreading.
oh shit, yea i forgot about that. brutal. Was hoping for a Ravens 49ers superbowl to be honest i'm okay with the rematch.
My beard approves.

Agent Smith of sports threads?
Wait, people are actually serious about this shit? I was under the impression that everyone was joking about Eli becoming bbest-Manning.
You ARE joking right?

he's a beast bro, your defense is so good. unfortunately your QB was your undoing. =(
Also i couldn't bring myself to root against the Giants. In a room of people I loved I didn't want them suffering the same thing as I the last two seasons =/
Welli or Future, maybe one of you can clear this up. It seems to me that teams tend not to run slants against y'all, and I think it's because your d-line does such a good job of not getting on the ground. The usual counter's obviously to cut down on the defensive line to clear the passing lanes, but that's a risky proposition with the athleticism of JPP, Osi, Tuck, Canty, etc. You're basically giving each of those guys a free run at your QB.
As Matt Ryan learned when JPP jumped straight over Clabo's attempted cut block.

it's inarguable that he's exactly second best.
Eli is probably going to be playing longer than Peyton when all is said and done. Its possible.

Peyton Manning is the best QB of this generation, and that's not debatable.
Archie was pretty bad ass.

our "undoing" was 2 killer turnovers. granted, it shouldn't have mattered if alex could've gotten 30-40 yards late in the 4th but i don't put this game solely on alex or solely on kyle williams. pathetic that we were 0/14 on 3rd down or whatever it was but even with all that the fumbled punt returns were killer.
what a shame because our defense played one of the best games of the season (a season filled with great defensive performances)
Peyton is far and away better. Couple of things though, Peyton plays in a dome for half his games, Eli is playing in shitty East Rutherford. Also Eli in the playoffs has been much more successful in less chances than Peyton which sways people's opinions.

Yeah, who knew we'd need Ginn so bad either, unfortunate injury. I just find A. Smith much too inconsistent as a QB.
