And of course a game like this is Alex Smith's fault when he attempted only 24 passes.
The Ravens tied a franchise record with 9 sacks against the 49ers Thursday night. Five of the Ravens' sacks came when they sent 5 or more pass rushers. Eight of the Ravens' 9 sacks also came with 5 or more defensive backs on the field.
Also 12 QB hits by the Ravens.


Eli's 316 Yards in that game? WOW

His YPA was the same as 2011 Blaine Gabbert.

His yards per completion was just ahead of 2011 Christian Ponder.

Eli Manning didn't miss any chances to make plays with his 26 incompletions? He was lucky 1 or 2 weren't INTs.

And the Giants punter didn't have 12 punts.

The conditions for offense was bad. The weather was bad and the defenses were on their A games.

Both QBs did the bare minimum.

The Giants were 22% likely to win as they were punting in the 4th, It glances off a leg. They recover and are 46% likely to win.
2nd fumble spikes from 52% to 95%.

Of the four plays that increased New York’s win probability the most, Manning was a part of zero. Of the eight plays that decreased New York’s win probability the most, Manning was a part of six.

This shit again? Quarterback stats never tell the true story.

Eli Manning drove the offense down the field when they needed him to and made this third downs.

Honestly, end of story.

The Giants’ QB battled vs. a defense in San Fran that hits, tackles with power and collapses the pocket. Manning targeted Cruz in the middle of the field, got the ball to Mario Manningham on the skinny post vs. a single high safety look and finished with 316-yards and 2 TDs to earn his second trip to the Super Bowl. And he did it vs. pressure from one of the best defensive front sevens in the NFL. I saw a QB that was once again in control of the game plan.

Fast Google - I must admit that I did read past the first paragraph - what's the use?


Alex Smith has a new team and new head coach...I would focus on that...



Edit: Who is ViporVisor? Chiefs fan or 49ers fan?

I hope he is not a 49ers fan - I do not take kindly to their whiny BS.
