		<description><![CDATA[I remember when RW McQuarters did the same exact thing for the Giants in the 2007 NFCCG.

In the 4th Quarter he Fumbled an INT which gave the packers a FG to tie.

Tie game with 2 minutes left he was stripped at mid-field on a punt return.  However, Jarret Bush of the Packers tried to scoop and run instead of getting on top of the ball and the Giants recovered.

That may have been why Ross was back there late in this game to replace Blackmon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did Kyle Williams&#039; 2 fumbles &quot;CONTRIBUTE&quot; to the 49ers loss? Absolutely!  And here are some other 49er &quot;CONTRIBUTING&quot; factors: (1) The San Fran offense going 1 for 13 on 3rd down conversions. (2) The San Fran defensive backs not being able to cover the NYG wide receivers - ALL GAME LONG.  (3) The San Fran wide receivers not being able to get open from the coverage of the NYG defensive backs - ALL GAME LONG. (4) Playoff Experience: Coughlin/Manning 6-3 record vs Harbaugh/Smith 1-0 record ( prior to the NFC Championship game). The 49ers did themselves in via mistakes and missed opportunities.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I respect the 49ers even more after watching them actually be there for him after his fumble instead of flipping out on him.  Chances are no one feels worse than him about what happened.

If the shoulder on the arm he was using to secure the ball was hurt that badly, though, perhaps you do have to blame Harbaugh for putting him out there.  It sucks that it came down to a Ginn injury indirectly being their downfall, but that&#039;s why you need depth, and they were very thin at WR.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Death threats? What, is the NFL suddenly soccer now? Really, some people need to get a life. Or end theirs, as the case may be.

Overall, I found the game rather dull and the way it ended made total sense. Both teams played not to win, but to not make mistakes. The first to blink, lost, it seemed to me.

Bummer, but after that game, and the way Brady played in his game, I&#039;m not holding out much hope that the Super Bowl will be...Super. 

But I won&#039;t be twittering death threats, either.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did anyone see Harbaugh at the post game press conference ? He looked like a man who had clearly lost his grip on reality.  He couldn&#039;t understand questions, let alone respond to them. He was not very respectful to Coughlin either for the mid field hand shake - that&#039;s at least twice now Harbaugh.  Why would you put a kid with a case of fumblitis in that position in the rain. Niners deserved better- this one is on the manic (or should I say maniac ?) coach.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[bick54 - I might agree with your comment about a small % of fans making the entire fan base look bad except for the very audible boos that could be heard during the singing of the national anthem anytime the camera showed a shot of a Giants player.  That said a lot about Niners fans in itself.  It&#039;s our national anthem folks - surely you can show a little respect for the little time it takes to get through the song.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So all the idiot 49er fans are claiming &quot;the Giants didn&#039;t win, Kyle Williams gave them the game&quot;.  But before the game there they were spouting off how they led the league in turnovers.  The Giants forced the fumble just like your team did throughout the season. If it was lucky for the Giants in this game then it was lucky for you all season.  As far as the ball brushing up against his leg, that didn&#039;t go for a touchdown. The Giants were barely in FG range.  Al your vaunted defense had to do was hold them, but they didn&#039;t.  You lost, the best team won, NOW DEAL WITH IT !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Live by the turnover, die by the turnover.

The 49ers were the NFLs worst at 3rd down conversions and red zone offense, but they got to the doorstep of the Super Bowl with a fantastic turnover ratio.

There&#039;s a short shelf life for Harbaugh&#039;s schtick and I bet he knows it too.  That kind of fire can never burn brightly for long.

Almost caught lightning in a bottle....let&#039;s see where they go from here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kyle is a good kid who will continue to fight his way up the roster. He stood tall at his locker last night taking all of the heat like a man. You have to respect that. He made huge mistakes, but the blame needs to be spread around. The Giants just had a little bit more in their tank and they deserve this win. Congrats to them.

The real problem was the offense: 4 3-and-outs to end the game. I was pretty sure we had no recievers on the field. The 9ers desperately need a true #1. The 9ers hid their ofefnse all year and last night they just couldn&#039;t overcome it with the special teams mishaps.

9er fans - we are much better than sending a guy threats on Twitter. There will be other years! This is a part of sport, you don&#039;t win all of time, our guys won&#039;t be perfect all of the time. The 9ers will be a good team for years to come so stand proud and keep your head up even if you&#039;re still down about the game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Niner fans are terrible, first really have not supported the team properly in the last ten years for a team that has won five Superbowl&#039;s. I live in Sacramento and they are such fair weather fans. I had a couple of my 49er buddies blaming the loss on Smith too. I am just glad I don&#039;t have to see those ugly Gold Starter Jackets from the 80&#039;s. Those will go right back in the closet for the next 20 years. Just a bunch of bandwagon fans!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Williams does not bring the ball out to the 50 on the previous return. When the NINERS were down 17-14. The game does not go to overtime.  If that was a normal return or touchback there is no way Alex Smith gets the ball in field goal range. Smith completed his first pass to a WR with 5:26 left to Crabtree for 2 yards. TWO YARDS.  So NINER fans wanna place blame and point a finger. ALEX SMITH IS THE REASON YOU LOST. 

GOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR AGAINST:

PATS, LIONS, BEARS, JETS, DOLPHINS, BILLS, GIANTS, PACK

oh and on the road in NEW ORLEANS...

have fun back at 6-10]]></description>

So they picked up Blackmon a sure handed punt returner and even used Aaron Ross another sure handed player back there yesterday as well as Blackmon. The difference in this game was the punt return game. If you remember the Giants first punt of the 3rd quarter yesterday? Williams dove and barely caught nearly fumbled a low punt near the sidelines with a Giants player right next to him.

		<description><![CDATA[He shouldn&#039;t have been there returning punts in overtime. This guy already muffed a punt and fumbled an end-around earlier in the game. Harbaugh has been a great coach this season and will probably win the coach of the year award but it was definitely a mistake to keep the guy out there, Belichick and Coughlin would have benched the guy long before overtime started. It&#039;s good to show confidence in your players but when you&#039;re playing for a championship you have to minimize as many potential mistakes as possible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[realitypolice says: Jan 23, 2012 9:24 AM

This is on Harbaugh.

The kid had no business being back there in overtime. Despite the one nice return he had, he had clearly shown throughout the game that he was playing tight. (I believe he had at least one bad drop on offense, too)

And this isn’t just hindsight. I told my friends at the start of overtime that if I were Harbaugh I would just rush 11 and take the ball wherever it stopped if the Giants punted.

-----------------------------------------------

I agree 100%. This was a common theme throughout the game. He fumbled the reverse that cost us 10 yards and you could tell he was returning/fielding punts scared. He let one go that kept bouncing and cost a ton of field position, another he almost missed and had to dive to catch, one return he slipped and fell untouched with a lot of room to run, and then another he fair caught with nobody within 15 yards. He was killing us all game. Even before the one that went off his leg, I was saying what you just said ... why are they even bothering. He&#039;s clearly more likely to make a mistake than to get a big return. If there&#039;s no-one else that can do the job, fine, then just go for the block!! Horrible decisions, and even worse performance from Williams.]]></description>

 he already had fumbled once in the game. in overtime, you tell that guy, fair catch or let it go. NO RETURN, because you&#039;re a young guy who will try to do too much!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three yards of production from the WR corps, and Niner fans want to blame Williams?

How about blaming the coach who put your #2 WR on IR by throwing the ball on a 4th-and-2 play with a 41-3 fourth-quarter lead?

If Josh Morgan is around to make one play on a third down, this game may go the other way.  But he wasn&#039;t because his coach got him hurt while trying to pad stats in garbage time.

Someone needs to ask that coach what his deal is.]]></description>
