2012 NFL Playoffs - NFC Championship Game

There is something about the playoffs. Each game is played at a higher intensity level than the regular season.

The 49ers beat the Saints in a dramatic last second score.  The Giants went to Green Bay and shocked the NFL.  Now the road to the super bowl goes through San Francisco.

Who do you think will win?  I never thought that Alex Smith would be a decent quarterback in the NFL. Alex Smith has been solid at the quarterback position this year.  He has protected the ball this year.  His performance in the fourth quarter against the New Orleans Saints in the NFL Divisional Playoff game was something for the history books.  He led the team to not one, but two scores.

Vernon Davis and the 49er offense outscored the New Orleans Saints and nobody really thought that could happen.  The New Orleans Saints offense showed their quick strike ability.  It was a shame that the game had to end.

The 49ers are going to bring a strong defense to the table in the NFC Championship game.  The hits that were displayed against the Saints should have the New York Giants thinking about who is around them when they catch the ball.  The 49er defense was able to get turn overs at key moments during the game.  A huge hit and a turn over by Dante Whitner set the tone.

Eli Manning Jerseys

Eli Manning has won the big game and they have the playoff experience.  Both of these defenses should provide big hits and exciting plays.  The New York Giants Defense is coming on strong.  They bring big pressure and the pass rush cannot be ignored.

The New York Giants are going to be confident coming into San Francisco.  They have a quarterback that has won it all.  The Giants offense comes with a running back committee that is hard to bring down.  This will be a good matchup against the 49ers defense.  Expect some major collisions on Sunday.  The 49ers and Giants played a game earlier this year and the niners came out on top but they will not forget how close that game was.  Eli threw for over 300 yards on the day but the running attack was kept under check.  The Giants are a different team now.  Victor Cruz is a deep threat and seems to catch just about everythig thrown his way.  Hopefully, this game will be just as exciting as the division play off games.
