The Saints are in his head

No giveaways, CK actually has to try to get more than two first downs to score

Be careful what you wish for. You might get it.

I agree, I don't want to see the 49ers in the playoffs, even at home.

San Francisco plays dirty trying to injure players, don't want any part of that.

Playoffs could look like this:

#5 Carolina @ #4 Philadelphia
#6 San Fran @ #3 Detroit (remember the last time these two met? no love lost)

San Fran goes to Seattle while we play either Detroit or Carolina/Philly winner. I love the idea of San Fran and Seattle beating each other up in a most brutal contest.

I would not fear either Detroit or Philly.

My bonehead play of the game was Frank Gore dropping that pass when he was wide open and had nothing but real estate ahead of him. Had he caught that, he most likely scores or gets a huge gain into the red zone, and Niners win. Sucks to be you, Frank Gore.

I don't think physical mistakes qualify as bonehead plays. When I think bonehead, I think mental error.

Gore's drop wasn't a boneheaded mental error.

Gore's drop wasn't a boneheaded mental error.

e.g., the 15 yard penalty on the last punt to Sproles

That's huge from a psychological standpoint, starting from the 25 (3 and out and maybe you have a shot at a FG) vs the 40 (oh boy, Drew Brees needs only 25-30 yards to get in FG range). That's mentally a big deal.

Do you notice how all of the wonder kid QB's in the class of 2012 are less than wonderful this year. Luck is the only one that seems to be holding up...for now. IMO this supports the observation that "athletic" QB's don't win consistently in the NFL. Give me a QB with ability between his ears.

+1. You give good coaches a year film on a read option QB (Kaep/RGIII), they will eventually figure you out at this level.

They had Russell Wilson on NFL Network earlier today and he talked about how when he is running out of the pocket the first thing he is looking to do is to throw the ball vs running with it. That's because he is a legit passing QB and the reason he has survived and thrived in his 2nd season, even without having adequate passing targets for much of the season.

RGIII has had to be conservative with trying to use his legs to win games and now it shows that having to throw the ball on a higher percentage basis is not quite working out so well. His component of being a dangerous runner has been dimenished greatly, and his effectiveness along with it. Kaepernick similarly.

Detroit with a #3 and leading the NFC North is more a byproduct of GB/CHI stumbling. As much as I'd like to see 'em beat the Whiners, they lose that matchup. If they don't watch out, CHI is gonna' catch 'em and then they lose the W/C race to Carolina/SFran as well.
