5 Reasons The Saints Will Beat The 49ers

WhoDat!656 · 01-11-2012, 12:32 AM

After dismantling the Detroit Lions last week the streaking New Orleans Saints will head on over to the Golden State to take on the San Francisco 49ers, but despite this being a tough matchup for both competitors, there are five really good reasons why this Saints team will defeat the 49ers in the 2012 NFL Divisional Round.

For the 49ers and their faithful, it has been nearly 10 years since this team competed in postseason play so their presence alone is a big deal, but can they advance to the 2012 NFC Championship Game?

I personally think no.

Can they advance to the NFC Championship game?

I personally think YES!

Care to share your reasons why you believe that? You assessment seems to be a bit light on analysis.

The only way the 49ers win is if Brees can be rattled into giving the ball away and giving the 49er offense a short field. The entire Saints offense in the last 9 games has been designed around giving Brees a clean pocket to operate in. Specifically a brick wall with the guard/center trio and consistent chipping and rerouting of end rushers by backs and tight ends coming out the backfield.

If the turnover battle is anywhere close to even, then the Saints outscore the 49ers.

So exactly how will San Francisco tilt the turnover margin in their favor?

Great article, but it left me asking, "Only five?" I mean, Brees used 8 different receivers against us, and then Spoles & PT, the offensive line, the coach and I'll even give NO 1/2 a point for their defense, even though they lose that comparison to SFran.

Now, I may be a public school kid, but that adds up to 13.5, unless you want to figure they're all covered under point #2. Too Many Weapons to Account For and point #3. Not Enough Firepower, at which point, we're back to "only five".

Give 'em hell, Saints.

I agree, but I would not at all hold it against him if he don't. If someone ask me to let go of the Saints, I would respectfully decline. He seems like really good people!!

I just can’t see the 49ers accounting for all of these weapons for 4 solid quarters effectively

This is kinda what I have been saying. The game is 4 quarters, can the 49ers really keep the Saints offense (or defense) out of the end zone for that long. I have no doubt, there will be times on Saturday when we will be on the edge of our seats, nervous, where we Saints fans may have to reacquaint ourselves with the unfamiliar sight of Thomas Morestead actually punting the ball...but I am not at all sure that the 49ers can hang for a full sixty minutes.

The Cowboys, Giants and Lions all took the Niners down to the wire and taxed their defense to the limits -- and this Saints team is clearly better and more explosive/playmaking than any of those teams.

He's showing the classic symptoms, though. With respect to his lineage involving the Lions, he is a very ill man. Terminally ill.
