Giants Vs. 49ers: Game Time Is Here

We're one game down on Championship Sunday as the New England Patriots held on to beat the Baltimore Ravens, 23-20, in the AFC Championship game.

Up next is the NFC Championship game between the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers. The game will be on FOX at 5:30 p.m. (Arrowhead Time).

I'm very shaky on this pick but I'm taking the Giants. I kinda get the feeling they're on a similar run as the one they had four years ago when they won the NFC Championship game and went to the Super Bowl beating the -- wait for it -- Patriots!

Early thoughts on the game? I want to see this 49ers defense.

Giants win it all.

My prediction heading into the playoffs was Pats-Giants in the SB with Giants winning it all.

Nicknames I have coined:

Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'

I think Giants win easily

I knew it was gonna be the Pats in a close one

Giants-Patriots Would Be A Great Rematch

I’ve also heard (don’t know if it’s true) that the Giants had 100:1 odds this season on winning the Super Bowl.

by UCrawford on Jan 22, 2012 5:31 PM CST reply actions  

I like the Giants in the rematch too

I’m not sure why the Hoodie feels he needs to get so cute using converted QB to WR’s covering Boldin. You can’t tell me they can’t find a DB on their practice squad or free agency.

Not saying it can’t work but seriously….Cassel is not Brady as Pioli seems to want to believe

You said examples

I want someone to compete. I am not talking NOW either. Im talking in the near future before next season. How do you know Stanzi was even NFL ready? Palko wasn’t either but he really might not have been NFL ready.

Also, I don’t think any team does it 100% the same every time no matter what. That is why these debates are silly.

Not Pioli, not Mangini, not McDaniels, not RAC, not Weis, not O’Brien, not Peas, not Dimitroff, not anyone!

It’s Belichick and Brady. Everyone else just benefits from the genius.

Pioli can’t turn us into a dynasty…he didn’t turn the Pats into one. Belichick and Brady is the common theme from all Super Bowl appearances.

Meh...

Kent Babb tried to tear down Pioli’s shot at building a dynasty… If it doesn’t succeed and Pioli can hire some good coaches for Romeo… the opportunity is still there for the taking. Kansas City can be a great team, they need to make the moves though.

Everybody has a role in the Patriots success, Bill Belichick is just a master at fitting people into his program and getting the best out of them.

Having Tom Brady around makes everything easier, but even Belichick almost won with Cassel.

Realistically

I see the Chiefs digging through the bottom of the draft for a QB.

They will make a go at Kyle Orton, keep/trade Matt Cassel depending on that outcome and draft a QB.

The Chiefs are in a QB pickle.

The biggest addition to this team regardless next season is Jamaal Charles and the new OC. This offense will improve no matter who the QB is IMO.

The Giants have a good defense… The Patriots have better coaching.

I don't think so...

Maybe if Manning wins another Super Bowl.

Joe Flacco has been on a playoff ride out there in Baltimore since his first year. If his kicker was any good he might be punching a Super Bowl win in a couple of weeks.

Eli Manning is not very good, he is so inconsistent and is finally having a decent year after all the hype. In 2007 that defense won the Super Bowl coupled with pedestrian throws by Eli. That David Tyree catch was a garbage throw.

Sure they are both first round picks, but neither one of their teams traded two drafts to obtain their rights.

Though the Giants gave up a bunch.

I will never be a big Eli Manning fan, I think he is a piece of crap so I might be a bad person to debate with about him. Joe Flacco is a serviceable QB that has been given a lot of tools and has still fell flat do to his play combined with crappy play calling.

They are pretty similar to me.

If I had to choose one, I would start Tyler Palko…. Okay not really. I would pick Eli Manning, but only because he finds his receivers better under duress. Then I would promptly commit suicide.

LOL they both are capable but lets be real look at how much theyve been given and what theyve done with it

There are quite a few other Qbs who could win if you consistently gave them good defenses and running games.

Flaaco felt some of what Orton felt driving his team down with a chance to win and then having the kicker miss the kick .

These guys are not carrying teams just playing there role and there quite a few other Qbs capable of doing that .

Eli I must say has gotten much better than what he was early in his career but Flaaco is wasting opportunities other Qbs would kill for . Ray Lewis is basically at the end of the road what will they do the next few years

I'm surprised we didn't see more scrambling on purpose, today.

I guess I can understand it in Brady’s case, but if Wilfork’s gonna just push the center back all day long, I’m not parkin’ MY QB there in the middle. Just looked dumb. Either double Wilfork, or plan to roll out. Flacco reminded me of Cassel, at times, today. For Pete’s sake, there’s only 3 of ‘em and they’re FAT. Make ‘em run around, but do NOT force the pass out or stand there like a stump waiting for somebody to come open. Those guys can’t get to you, if you just slide one way or the other.

I think that will be between running back and safety

as in how Eric Berry and Jamaal Charles return. If they can’t come back strong that will affect wins more than anything else.

Outside of that, I am going to say RT. If the Chiefs can block better and not look like Eli Manning just did sacked every play, then the Chiefs will win more games.

RT is vital to the Chiefs winning football games no matter who the QB is.

True and if you remember I was high on replacing Richardson after 2010 as well...

I think the Bill Muir move stunted his growth along with JC’s injury exposing his weaknesses in run blocking.

I think Barry is more than capable, but this team needs elite pass blocking with it’s shelf of QB options. He will never sniff elite.

A lot of games this season Barry was awful and hard to watch. Barry Richardson with help from a TE like Pope equaled a sack for the other team more often than not.

Maybe he was playing hurt or something, but his technique was bad and he was flagged a lot on important drives. That is a coaching glitch IMO.

I'm more with Steve_Chiefs: RT may have the biggest impact, this year.

It makes taking OT in the 1st tempting, but to the point of maybe not being enough. I might just draft AGAIN, just to make sure. Watched 1st-rounder Nate Solder sucking at RT, today. Seems like New England is always looking for that RT. I think that with the combo of perimeter weapons on offense and a top-flight 4-3 defense, that could end up biting Brady, the same way it did last SB we saw with these two teams. But I don’t see the ’9ers going quietly into the night.

In Zone Blocking schemes good OT and G's can be found in later rounds with proper development

This team is in need of some new coaching and a few new pieces on the line.

It doesn’t necessarily need to be a first round pick, but the Chiefs need to upgrade a right tackle and left guard at some point. That is undeniable.

I’m anxious to see David Mims this offseason, but I want the Chiefs to bring in some new blood starting with coaching the line. With Muir likely retiring and Perles fired, that is going to happen and it is exciting.

That said, until you ARE asserting yourself up front MUCH more than KC’s OL has in the past few years, it’s hard to say ANY OL pick is overkill. Get it RIGHT at LEAST once, before counting on your coaches to turn pig’s ears into silk purses.

I'm not as critical of Horne or Urban.

I think you get some other things going right and you start liking these guys a little bit more. Urban just does his job. Horne’s an exceptional athlete, who may yet rub out that rawness.

Urban is talented on the practice field

not on the the grid iron.

Plus he can’t stay healthy. Jeremy Horne missed on some critical plays and is easily replaced.

I wouldn’t mind giving his ST’s spot to Quentin Lawrence.

by Chief-blinders-on: QB is another position with FA upgrades available.

I would be looking at ALL the possibilities there, including Flynn and Henne. I don’t think KC’s in position to make a big splash at QB in the draft, and they could use somebody who’s set a solid floor as a vet, to push Cassel.

There are quite a few quality FAs out there, and none of ‘em look like they’ll be easy to sign. And whomever they sign will ease affect the decision-making process in the draft.

by hmills110 on Jan 22, 2012 9:12 PM CST up reply actions  

I feel pretty much the same way

but those FA QB’s are not very tempting.

Scott Pioli needs to earn his money by signing some of those hard to sign players. That is why we wanted the guy in the first place. He is suppose to be among the best.

FA’s being hard to sign should never be an excuse.

Nope. Not an excuse. Just a good reason to cast a wide net.

Plus, I’m one who sees more good QBs than there are good teams for ‘em to play on. And a lot of good QBs are underrated because they played for bad teams. Sometimes, you don’t know a QB is any good until you see him join a team that plays to enough of his strengths. Heck, for overall understanding, arm strength and mobility, Donovan McNabb is prob’ly ahead of Kyle Orton, but you’d never know it, because he wasn’t quick enough to perform miracles in his last couple stops.

Mills:

I have stated many times this season, that I think the problem with the line was blocking scheme and coaching.

Several plays there was either a penalty or a lineman would seemingly be out of place with no one to block. That is a coaching error and one I blame on Todd and Scott for promoting Bill Muir when he was doing fine coaching the line in 2010.

The Chiefs created a problem where they didn’t have one and it shows with Perles getting fired and the talk of Muir retiring from the team.

The players are accountable too and the Chiefs need to re-shuffle the deck on the line. Try out Mims during the offseason, look at some available free agent OL and draft a couple quality ZBing big men in the draft to develop.

Jamaal is their bread and butter and they need to be ready for his return along with giving him a new partner in crime not named Thomas Jones. Though I do think Jackie Battle showed some potential, I would like the Chiefs to sign or draft another runner to complement JC.

I wouldn't look for just the one or the other.

In the 1st 3 rounds, I expect the guy to be good at whatever I ask him to do, and I picked him because I believed he could do what I was asking.

I dunno, Chief-blinders. Could be they were bent outta shape by moving Muir to OC. But what do we really know about the actual division of labor that took place? Did they hire an extra guy to pick up some of the slack, when Weis left, or did they just kludge the job together with the guys who remained? I don’t remember if there was a new hire in offensive staff, when Weis moved on.

I think the bottom line with B-Rich might just not be all that quick upstairs. I was pretty forgiving of “rookie mistakes” in his first year starting. But 2011 didn’t evince the up-side we were lookin’ for from B-Rich, who has all the tools, except maybe a teensy amount of quickness or quick-twitch.

Jim Zorn should not be our OC, I am not opposed to him staying the QB coach. I was utterly disappointed with his work with Palko.

Though I would argue that Palko did well, but he just had terrible arm strength and Stanzi not being ready lies directly at the feet of Zorn.

Maybe Zorn is anti-america and they didn’t click.

Heh.

I have to admit, in my weaker moments, that they should’ve been able to get a heckuva lot more offense out of the guys they had. So I reckon it goes to coaching. With a full off season, Haley did some things remarkably well. His first season was just a dress rehearsal, and his 3rd season he had no offseason, and his way of dealing with it apparently didn’t work too well. Blah blah blah. But they didn’t click very well, at all. A lot of folks just think it’s the QB talent, and Orton’s success against the league’s worst defense had more folks believing that.

I see these playoff teams using dump-offs to RBs to stem the tide of the pass rush, and wonder why it’s been so lacking in KC offense, under Haley. I think Haley is a believer in runners run and wide receivers catch. Just my impression.

I don't want to get rid of B-Rich completely

but I do want the Chiefs to draft his replacement and make him earn his spot unless they bring in a free agent.

There should be two new line coaches, that should help and they may be able to help him with new perspective…who knows. He does have the tools, I agree.

We have all seen him play great at times.
Smarts could be an issue.

If I had my way it would be a (Jackie) battle between Mims/Richardson/FA/Draft Pick at the RT spot may the best Chief win.

Eli tears up the Falcons and Packers, but only does enough to beat the Niners, and this means he didn’t partly lead them to the Super Bowl?

Cool for Eli...done something his more lauded big brother hasn't done & now

will be playing in the SB in his big bro’s town.

Against his biggest Nemesis

Just storylines all fucking around lol

Yup...like he's now the only QB in NFL history with 5 road playoff wins

I’ll be rooting for Eli ‘cause I’m really sick of the Pats.

Brady’s had his turns… go Giants. :-D

QBs

Funny how whichever QB wins the conference title game gets all the credit for his team’s win. We were two awful special teams plays from Alex Smith vs. Joe Flacco in the Super Bowl, but since other players messed up, all we’ll hear about is how elite quarterbacks led their teams to the Super Bowl. Even though Brady threw a horrible pick that would have cost his team the season if his d-back teammate didn’t slap the ball out of the receiver’s hands in the end zone.

Luck has way more to do with winning and losing than most anyone is willing to admit.

Well no shit

You can say that about every sport. Usually the same teams have a great shot at it year in year out

by KCinIL on Jan 22, 2012 9:54 PM CST up reply actions  

Even though they haven't mentioned Eli once

Or Brady after the other game. All they’re talking about is the ST, so you’r not really making any sense in this one. Neither one of em is getting much of the credit, been watchin this shit all day

by KCinIL on Jan 22, 2012 9:57 PM CST up reply actions  

So stop watching Fox

The dude still threw 2 tds and no turnovers against the best defense in the league. You want em to get no credit? He did account for 14 of their 20 points

by KCinIL on Jan 22, 2012 10:01 PM CST up reply actions  

they even claimed how as long as hes standing the Giants have a hcnace as if they didnt just see them punt on 9 of there last 10 possessions

Eli game managed this game to death and Smith as well and I have no problem with that but man they are hyping it as some heroic performance when in fact the defense kept them in it all game

by Willie Beamon on Jan 22, 2012 10:00 PM CST up reply actions  

Come on

600 yards passing, 67 comp% 6 tds, 1 int, 0 fumbles, 121 QB rating(for what its worth). Dudes BALLED in the playoffs

by KCinIL on Jan 22, 2012 10:03 PM CST up reply actions  

4 QB's played today. Here are their numbers.

22/36 306yd 2TD 1INT
22/36 239yd 0TD 2INT
12/26 196yd 2TD 0INT
32/58 316yd 2TD 0INT

Guess which was Eli?

It's no fun if I have to explain it.

by TRSChief on Jan 22, 2012 10:08 PM CST up reply actions  

Because the teams who are always in the playoffs are very good teams, top to bottom. It’s a team game, not a Qb passing contest, and special teams are a third of the game. When two good teams face off, luck is often the difference, but afterwards, the story has to be retroactively written to make it all about the QBs, because ey are the highest profile players. So Tom Brady just led his team to another Super Bowl, even though he didn’t really. He did have a nice sneak for a TD but he also got really lucky today and the game was decided on plays that had nothing to do with the QBs.

Harbaugh seemed a little sore lose-ish

That was 1 quick ass shake, didn’t even look at Tom lol

I think the sb will be extra hyped up this year and the game will end up sucking, don’t know who will win but one of them will run away with it …hopefully it’s NE…I can respect what they’ve done year in and year out….giants r more of a luckier team as they’ve never been favorites

by Chiefs86 on Jan 22, 2012 10:15 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

Ha this guy

You say the Giants got lucky and the Patriots won almost the exact same way. Which is it?

by KCinIL on Jan 22, 2012 10:17 PM CST up reply actions  

What?

Dominated the Falcons, cruised past the Packers, beat the Niners at their own game, how is that lucky?

by BeauJackson on Jan 22, 2012 10:19 PM CST up reply actions  

Let me rephrase that, they’re not a team with high expectations going into the season …their one super bowl win were all close and now they have reached another super bowl in a similar fashion …unforced turnovers, balls are bouncing their way, did ne get lucky today ? Yes but they’ve been CONSISTENTLY good all year …on the other hand giants have had a lot of breaks

by Chiefs86 on Jan 22, 2012 10:22 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

Instead of one super bowl win i meant to say last super bowl win

by Chiefs86 on Jan 22, 2012 10:22 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

Twice not once again TWICE

And to the Seahawks ? Lol N four games In a row…they’re not a consistently great team…Ido respect Eli he’s now an elite qb …wish we had them…the rest of the team aside from the wrs are overrated

by Chiefs86 on Jan 22, 2012 10:29 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

The Seahawks game they were unlucky

Were on a 2nd and goal about to go up 11, Cruz bobbled a ball right into a Seahawks safety for a 99 yard pick six.

by BeauJackson on Jan 22, 2012 10:31 PM CST up reply actions  

That DL is over-rated?

I’d love to have that over-rated DL

If you’re both giants fans u can join their blog instead and say how great they are lol

by Chiefs86 on Jan 22, 2012 10:27 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

Never said they were great

And check the avatar I’m clearly not a Giants fan, I just give credit where credits do. You wanna hate, fine, but don’t make shit up to try and justify the hate.

by KCinIL on Jan 22, 2012 10:28 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm just confused

Were the Niners lucky this year too? A turnover differential of +28 is not that sustainable, so I’d assume yes.

by BeauJackson on Jan 22, 2012 10:28 PM CST up reply actions  

I expected the giants to win this game bc I saw too many weakness on the niners …I remember we had a year with a high + number and it didn’t translate into the playoffs

by Chiefs86 on Jan 22, 2012 10:31 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

The Giants are inconsistent

The Niners played a style of game that isn’t great for long term success this season. Relying on turnover differential doesn’t work out forever. It bit them today. Wouldn’t be shocked to see them slide to 8-10 wins next season.

by BeauJackson on Jan 22, 2012 10:33 PM CST up reply actions  

And how come the giants with all those weapons and good d not as consistent ? If they were always good in the regular season then I wouldn’t be questioning how they got to the super bowl, however at the end of the day they still deserve credit for gettin there , and for the record I like Eli

by Chiefs86 on Jan 22, 2012 10:35 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

They had a ton of injuries this season

LB, CB, RB. Their o-line play is up and down. I see all their games since I live in their area, and they are annoying with the inconsistency. This year, it was due to the injuries. The running game was the worst in the league this season. They have a good foundation overall though with QB, WR, DL, which is why they are able to get hot at the right time like this.

by BeauJackson on Jan 22, 2012 10:41 PM CST up reply actions  

I’m also from the area so I hear it all and those r excuses. I hear it from both sides since I live in nj and work in NYC. We didn’t make any excuses so neither should they. Last time I checked their qb was playing all season and their running game sucked with or without Bradshaw

by Chiefs86 on Jan 22, 2012 11:02 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

Excuses for the inconsistency

At the end of the day though, the Chiefs went 7-9, and the Giants are playing the Super Bowl.

by BeauJackson on Jan 22, 2012 11:07 PM CST up reply actions  

Does

Anyone else notice the similarities between our Chiefs and the Niners?

by the scout 2 on Jan 22, 2012 11:07 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

Reminds me of

Chiefs last year with weiss helping Cassel. Good defense. We looked like teams going in opposite directions last year. We destroyed them last year. Now they were OT away from going to superbowl.
