    A message for the 9ners...

    Wait, what? Seattle and San Francisco have the same number of NFC Championships since 2000: one. San Francisco has appeared two times and Seattle has appeared once. San Francisco has appeared 14 times in the NFC championships and won six times, leading the conference in appearances. Only...

    Each 12th Man Attending = 367,000

    Um, you are comparing two completely different datasets. One is looking at tens of millions of facebook profiles to see how many people list themselves as a fan of each organization. It is a fairly scientific random sampling. It only assumes that people who use facebook tend to be fans of the...

    Each 12th Man Attending = 367,000

    Well, if it were a poll of, "who do you want to win", who knows what it would look like. I'm not a Saints fan, but I was pulling for them last week. This is just an estimate of the ratio of actual fans. Haters and well-wishers are not counted.

    Each 12th Man Attending = 367,000

    I do not think the vast majority of people watching will be fans of either team. That being said, with the exception of the Seattle and Portland metropolitan areas . . . well, let the facts speak for themselves (this is of course assuming that Facebook is a unbiased sample)...

    Um...the 49ers are tired, the Seahawks are fresh

    Both Kapernick and Wilson have posted near career-low numbers in Seahawks/Niners matchups, so if one of them has a breakout game, it is probably going to be the deciding factor. But more realistically, it is going to be won on defense. The last time the two teams met in Seattle, there were 3...

    Radio Broadcast delay

    I think one thing San Francisco and Seattle fans can agree on is how much Joe Schmuck sucks. He nearly single-handedly ruined two Giants World Series championship runs for me. I cannot stand to listen to his commentary. During the MLB playoffs last year, I used radio delay on my home theater...

    Um...the 49ers are tired, the Seahawks are fresh

    Having Bruce Miller (a pro bowler) out hurts a lot, but probably not as much as Harvin. The 49ers replaced Miller with a combination of 3rd/4th string RB Anthony Dixon and DE Will Tukuafu have been taking turns as FB, so if Tukuafu is unable to perform, Dixon should be able to take over...

    Um...the 49ers are tired, the Seahawks are fresh

    That year, San Francisco had what was considered one of the best special teams units in the NFL. The normal punt returner, Ted Ginn Jr. was out with an injury and the backup, Kyle Williams, may have been playing with a concussion. Sometimes those are the breaks. You can do something write 95%...

    Um...the 49ers are tired, the Seahawks are fresh

    I do not think that anyone is denying that the Seahawks pretty much have all the situational advantages (besides the fact that Harvin is unlikely to play, which is more of a key injury than the 49ers have right now), but you could say the same thing about Green Bay and Carolina too. The 49ers...

    Why I think Harbaugh is a passing genius.

    I think it would be difficult for either team to come back from a 2+ score deficit to win the game due to the quality of the defenses; however, I believe both teams are capable of such a feat. Seattle allowed the Buccaneers to score 24 points on them in the first half. Sure, it was an...

    Why I think Harbaugh is a passing genius.

    In the NFC Championship game, the 49ers fell behind by three scores and San Francisco came back to win the conference and go to the Superbowl. The same thing happened in the Superbowl and San Francisco came within inches of winning the Lombardi trophy, against what was that year one of the...

    Seahawks Mailing Hard Copy NFCCG Tickets?

    I hope they at least give you some memorabilia at the gates if they are not mailing out tickets. Our playoff tickets were nearly $200 each. People were selling pairs of seats in our section for $1000-2000. I remember they gave us a little rally "towel" (more like a washcloth) and I do not...

    Seahawks Mailing Hard Copy NFCCG Tickets?

    You guys have terrible-looking tickets. They made 49ers ticket holders buy tickets for the divisional and championship rounds nearly a month ahead of time (and mailed the paper tickets) and held onto the money until the Saints lost.

    Anthony Davis (49ers) calls Green Bay a s***hole on Twitter

    Candlestick is in the Bay View, in the city of San Francisco. South San Francisco is four cities south of Candlestick, in a whole other county. It is by SFO and is currently the biotech capital of the world. And he is right. Most of the midwest is a bunghole. However, as an entertainer, he...

    Rodgers Outted?

    The 49ers already had at least one openly gay player; although I do not believe he said anything to the media or his teammates while he was in the NFL. http://profootballzone.com/nfl/former-4 ... underwear/ Anyway "outing" people is stupid (unless they are publicly visible homophobes) and...

    Mario Manningham placed on IR per 49ers website

    Along with Moss, he was a good secondary reciever who helped get the 49ers to the Superbowl. He certainly put up better numbers than Ted Ginn Jr. Not having him healthy has really hurt the 49ers passing game this year. He was a real bargain, a hard worker, and just got badly hurt playing a...

    Cardinals will beat the Whiners ...

    Seattle is playing well. Unless they lose the division, they are still the team to beat in the NFC. Losing a close game to a good team like the Cardinals should not concern your team so much as what happened against Tampa Bay. If they can run up the score then anyone can until that hole is...

    Mario Manningham placed on IR per 49ers website

    With guys like Vernon Davis, Crabtree, Randy Moss, and Boldin, it is easy to forget about him but he was a pretty fast and athletic third or fourth reciever for Eli Manning and Alex Smith when he was healthy. He is not a future Hall of Famer or anything but he was instrumental in the Giants...

    Mario Manningham placed on IR per 49ers website

    Last year (2012) the Superbowl teams were the Giants and the Patriots. The 49ers picked up Manningham during the off season and he helped the 49ers win a second seeding before being injured. Boldin was another WR aquisition from a Superbowl winning team. But the 49ers picked him up this year...
