I will consider it a success if we keep it within 20 of the Niners

Harbaugh made a terrible coaching mistake not telling Williams the same thing...it was even more important that he should have done that since Williams was not the regular returner. Instead, it was obvious that Williams was focused more on making a big play rather than securing the ball. So it's clear to me that the Giants have better coaching than the 49ers...and that was a major factor in the Giants beating the 49ers. If you want to call bad coaching "gift-wrapping the game for them", then yes, the 49ers "gift-wrapped" the game...but from my perspective, the Giants beat the 49ers by playing tough and smart football (and not just tough football)...

Imho, "gift wrapping" a game usually comes in the form of a team not giving it's strongest effort or best focus. I don't think the 49ers lacked in effort or focus in the NFC Championship game.

Can't say I disagree. Even the Coach of the Year isn't perfect.

How do you know that? It's all speculation. Fact is the 49ers didn't make the super bowl. And to assume they would have "eaten Brady alive" is foolish.

If that was the case, then they would have beaten us real bad. I doubt that what you have said is true since the Giants and Pats played a close game.

On offense, the Niners and Giants are almost dead even (you are about a half a point ahead of us).

On defense, we are number 1 in the NFL in points allowed. You are number 14.

We are at home, you are away.

Sorry, but this one is a Niners win. Don't expect an admission at this point, but don't pretend you're going to be surprised when it happens.

Then to say the Pats beat them by 31 is equally as foolish.

So now Kyle Williams also cost you the super bowl? Man, you must hate that guy.
