Brees' INT on grass vs turf is probably more a sign of home/away than anything else.

It may be a timing thing. If the receiver is a half-second late to his spot because he slipped just a bit on the cut...

Man, the Saints are gettin man handled out there. That hit on Pierre Thomas was pure helmet to helmet but no ref threw a flag. Hell, man, the dude got knocked out! Whatta you chumps waiting for? SF can move the ball at will. The Saints are being stymied. SF just scored! It has been all SF so far and impressively.

This one was over before it started. When Ennefell Ref is on your side you can't lose. New Orleans is doomed.

17-13 SF and here's me hoping NO can manage a second half like last week.

Alex Smith ran straight backwards out of field goal range and threw the ball away as he was being tackled. No call for intentional grounding even though he was clearly between the tackles. Nobody said a word. Did anybody else see that? Am I wrong about what I saw?

It isn't the refs that have turned the ball over 5 times (and counting).

Cujo, are you kidding? Bree's has done that at least four times today. Good game so far. It's anyone's game at the moment.

WOW!

Helluva game!

That game rocked for a postseason game...so far it has been the homes teams with the win.

I picked the 49's early this week but I did not expect one of the best football games I have ever watched. What a game! If the G-Men can do their part tomorrow night I believe the 49's will be playing in the Superbowl!

Wow, that last four minutes was something.

The better team won, and Vernon Davis is The Man!!!

Funny. I thought the game was pretty pathetic up until the last few minutes. And even then, the Saint's lack of D never ceases to amaze..

Shit, where do I sign up to receive a paycheck for constantly missing tackles and dropping footballs? I can do that all day long...

I love it---I'm a 49ers fan baby!!!!!!!

I think you should blame the Saints Offense for the turnovers, not the Saints Defense!

Zero · « **Reply #535 on:** 15 Jan 2012, 01:48 am »

Bigfish - That too!

Though I was more referring to missed turnover opportunities on the Saints side.

Annnnyway. I'm happy for the 49r's.. and I see NE is already off to a great start. You don't have to be a fortune teller to know that this thread will explode in a few hours..

Only caught the end of the Niners/Saints game and glad I did, what a finish! Congrats to the San Fran fans.

Da roof done fell in on Denver!

5 seconds left in the first half and N.E. is up 35-7. Chalk up the 6th straight win for the home team in this postseason. Tebow has reverted to awful and he's down 4 TDs with a half to play.

On a positive note, the Broncos have held the Patriots to zero field goals.

The Pats have had some tough field position in this barn burner.
