Actually, they did get one on the last series of regulation.....but yeah I loved seeing them go down like that. It just stings (even a week later) knowing that we would've been playing the Giants in the dome today...sigh

The 49ers for that matter, will not have so much luck next season. Good luck with that "elite" QB. They played the game of their lives to beat the Saints.... vengeance is our, which we will get in regular season. |

I can't believe the commentators were chastising fans for criticizing Alex Smith. He hasn't gotten better, his team just has. These two playoff games, he had 4 good throws and Vernon Davis basically did the rest. It was their defense that kept them close.
Refs helped too, all Saints bias aside, in the Giants game, that fourth quarter sack on Eli, the linebacker was waaaaaay offsides, no flag. That long fourth quarter run by Gore, some serious holding at the point of attack. But whatever, they lost now. They may repeat as NFC Worst (West) champs because I don't see Rams, Cardinals or Seahawks getting any better, but they gotta go through us, New England, and Green Bay to get another first-round bye. |

Those Giants are True Road Warriors, however.
Major props to the Giants for finding a way to win on the road. Week after week. The Patriots in Indy will probably be a different story this year. Alaska |
