Yes ST creates field advantages and points that changes coaching decisions.
ST is as important as offense or defense.

And in this alternate universe, offense plays no part? That's probably the only way 9ers have a chance.
I think the Giants are not as reliant on special teams as the 49ers because they have such a good third down conversion rate.
One of the reason the 49ers have won so many games this season is because our special teams can not only return the ball for good field position, but we make the other team march at least 80 yards for a touchdown (which burns time off the clock, favoring defensive strengths), regularly put the ball on the five yard line, and rarely miss field goals from under 50 yards.
Special teams is not necessarily that important when Green Bay plays the Saints (unless it comes down to a field goal at the end) because it is basically a shootout. Playing a good defensive team like the 49ers or the Ravens, special teams are often the key to victory.
ST is going to be a key this Sunday, who ever wins will rely on ST.

I know that have better special teams in general. You do have a good kick returner but he is hurt.
How's Ted Ginn?
