Should be a great game. Hopefully the 49ers D is up to the task. Always tough to play at Candlestick in January.

Re: AFC Divisional Weekend: New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers
If the Saints get up on them early, I don't see the 49ers offense being able to catch up. The Saints have to make sure that they don't have turnovers because if the 49ers get the ball, they are more than capable of running out the clock and being happy to go up by 3.Originally posted by BlzerComment

Re: NFC Divisional Weekend: New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers
The Niners have to hope for some crappy weather or they have a very tough game ahead of them. I'm conflicted, I'm a guy that likes to see the traditional teams have a resurgence but the Saints are just so damn good. I think a lot of this hinges on how well the Niners' secondary holds up against the Saints passing attack.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: NFC Divisional Weekend: New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers
Reading some of the early coverage, one of the things that's funny to me is that people never talk about the matchups when they say that the Saints can't play outside, all they do is compare the points scored at home to points scored on the road outdoors. Also, I'm really interested in seeing if Patrick Willis do nothing against the Saints again. Reggie always had his best games against the 49ers with Willis being a complete nonfactor and unable to cover if he had to.Originally posted by BlzerComment

Re: NFC Divisional Weekend: New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers
Well the 49ers have more than just Willis, Navarro Bowman has played just as well if not better than Willis at LB this season. They have one of the best 3-4 Fronts in Football, Justin Smith just eats double teams, and they have a very talented, young pass rusher in Aldon Smith.
This is the most disciplined, fundamentally sound Defense that New Orleans will face all season, and I think they will hold them to under 30 points. (providing SF doesn't turn the ball over Offensively too much) The Saints will struggle to run the ball consistently against this D', which in turn will effect the Play-action fakes they love to go to so much. Also Carlos Rogers has had some good games against Brees in the past, and he's been a playmaking type CB this season, If Drew let's one get away he will pick it off unlike Detroits DBs.Minnesota Vikings

Re: NFC Divisional Weekend: New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers
At the same time, this is the best offense the 49ers have gone against by far and they haven't been immune to getting yards put up against them. The Saints also have one of the most talented guard tandem in the league so we'll just have to see who plays better next week.Originally posted by BlzerComment

Re: NFC Divisional Weekend: New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers
Agree with Jmood. This game is going to have a much different pace and feel to it then Detroit/New Orleans did. The 49ers are going to do their best to Shorten the game, grind the clock out with the run, and keep the Saints Offense off the field as long as possible.
Where as Detroit tried to keep pace with the Saints, and go score for score for them... As they did not have much of a run game to work with. Which didn't work out so well.
Really this game is the unstoppable force vs. the immovable object. One side is going to give in. I think a few key Defensive plays will be the difference in this game, Turnovers will be at a premium, and the team that can cause a key Turnover or a few will walk out the winner.Minnesota Vikings
