Buzz, the only reason I, and some others, have discussed that Giants game specicallyn is the perseption by most that Alex Smith was two muffed punts away from leading the 9 ers to a SB.
Cosell dispells that myth with this article.
But the reason that some of us don't like the trade for Smith is that the Giants game is a microcosm of Smith's last two seasons.
That Saints game was an abberation.
Smith has consistently left big plays on the field, settling for checkdowns or taking sacks.
Those plays are what separates medicocre game manager fron franchise QB, and are the reason that Harbaugh made the switch to Kapernick.
You have to have those plays in the playoffs to have any shot at a championship.
