Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Your 2011 NFC Championship Game Open Thread

NEW YORK GIANTS (11-7)
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (14-3)

@

Date: 22 January 2012
Location: San Francisco, CA
Time: 5:30 PM Central Stadium: Candlestick Park
TV: FOX Know Thy Foes: Big Blue View
Niners Nation
Chris' Prediction: Niners 23, Giants 20
Final Score: Giants 20, Niners 17 (OT)


We're just about half an hour away from the second part of this Championship Sunday in the National Football League, and this one should prove to be a knock-down, drag-out brawl between the New York Football Giants and the San Francisco 49ers.

Last week, the Niners defeated the New Orleans Saints by a score of 36-32 when Alex Smith. . .yep, Alex Smith. . .capped a furious final five minutes of football with a touchdown pass to Vernon Davis to secure the victory for the NFC West Champions. Later on that afternoon, the Giants defeated not only the 11 players on the field, but the six gentlemen in the black-and-white striped shirts as they sent the Green Bay Packers. . .um, packing, with a 37-20 defeat, seriously jeopardizing the 2011 Packers' status as the OMG GREATEST TEAM EVER.

Both of these teams are playing great defense at the moment, combining to generate nine turnovers in their victories last week. That's going to be a key in this one as well, particularly if we get the sort of wet, sloppy track that is anticipated at Candlestick Park this afternoon. Yep, it's still raining in northern California, and it's forecast to rain all the way through this one as well. Ball security will be paramount, and it could very well come down to whoever has the ball last this evening. I like the Niners in this one, but I think we're in for a potential classic.

Oh, and neither the Packers nor the Saints are there to ruin it. Can't emphasize that enough.

Kickoff is about half an hour away, folks. Hang out with your fellow Viking fans and talk about this one right here!

How does Cundiff's 32-yard FG miss compare with the one Gary Anderson FG attempt everyone remembers?

Since I was ice-fishing when Cundiff missed his kick, I missed that discussion…

I was listening to the game on the radio, and here is how I see it:

Both misses were well within range, and about the same distance.

The Vikings were 15-1 in the regular season, and the Ravens were 12-4.

Anderson had made all thirty-five of his FG attempts in the 1998 regular season, while Cundiff was twenty-eight for thirty-seven.

Anderson’s kick would have guaranteed the Vikings a Super Bowl berth; Cundiff’s cost the Ravens a chance in OT.

The Ravens won a Super Bowl ten years ago, while the Vikings have never won a Super Bowl, and hadn’t been there in twenty-one years when Anderson missed his kick.

Bigger gaffe: Anderson. Not even close.

I'd rather see a different matchup.

Plus this one isn’t nearly as hyped as their first go round.

Dunno about that.

Either one of these NFC defenses would’ve probably had a thing to say about that.

Last 2 superbowls were horrible

I forgot how fun the super bowl is supposed to be.

They all have up and downs

But last years, with the two teams involved, was a must miss for me

So................

Do the 49ers start sucking again next season,Fisher is now the Rams coach,Seahawks might be better (that might depend on who’s the QB), Cardinals have a decision to make at QB (Kolb or Skelton),Saints should have a better defense,Packers might take a step down (we’re all hoping for this),and for everyone else in the NFC,who knows

by Curtis2012 on Jan 22, 2012 9:41 PM CST reply actions  

49er's add an offense

and they easily return to the playoffs next year.

Smith was great last game, sucked this game…

I bet Harbaugh starts grooming someone else…

While we're at it Da Bears.

They were looking at a wildcard spot until their star got hurt. Then their other star.

So I have now seen the Pats in the Super Bowl seven times, the Giants five times...

…the Bears twice, the Steelers five times, and the Cowboys three times.

The Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams, and Saints have all played in Super Bowls in my time.

Oh, and I’ve watched FOUR PACKERS SUPER BOWL APPEARANCES.

But I have no memory of a Viking Super Bowl appearance.

No Question to me at that point….Peyton beat Rex Grossman…Eli will have beaten Tom Brady twice. What other signature win does Peyton have?

You really can't put it on Peyton.

The entire organization was ran through him. If he had an off game, they lose. That’s a lot of pressure on you.

But how else do you compare quarterbacks across teams and across generations? You can’t so debating QBs becomes pointless by that logic..
