Also, I've always known that the Niners passed on Rodgers in favour of Smith back in 2005, but I never knew they passed on Brady in 2000 aswell.

Brady was like a 6th round draft pick, every team in the league passed up on him multiple times. Can't really single out the Niners for that one.

Re: NFL 2012/13 Postseason Thread

Yeah, but they drafted a quarterback in round 3. Also, he was another big Niners fan who grew up nearby which makes it a little more significant. Reason I mentioned it was because the doc I'm watching had the Niners coach from the time listing all the reasons they opted against drafting him.

Guess I'm the only one picking Baltimore. I see why Denver is widely picked but can't pick against the Ravens regardless.

I'm 0-1 in my picks so far this weekend and I couldn't be happier. That game was fucking amazing. No other playoff game including the Super Bowl will come anywhere close to that.

From now on I'm calling Kaepernick "Whitecheal Vick".

Holy shit @ Ravens/Broncos. What a game. THAT BOMB. How/Why Denver? FLACCO

I was so fucking pissed when I heard about that. The weakest fucking defense in the history of football. Everyone complained at how many yards we gave up to Washington, but I'm guessing those same people aren't aware of how the Tampa 2 works. Make no mistake about it, I definitely think Dallas should revert to a 4-3 defense since the version of the 3-4 we've been running really isn't how it's designed to work and Ware sucks in coverage. But I would much rather bring in someone like Lovie who runs a very simple and basic 4-3 rather than a lax zone-coverage whoring Tampa 2. Fuck. That. And it's so completely polar opposite of the scheme we've been running, hardly anyone on our defense is going to be comfortable with it. Tampa 2 also keeps the same 11 players on the field in nickle formation ALL THE TIME and we've had enough trouble with injuries as it is. What the fuck was Jerry thinking?

I don't think/I hope Kiffin doesn't run Tampa 2. We just don't have the guys for it. We don't have dominant 3 techs. We don't have zone CBs. We don't have a SS. I do think Lee could work as Mike, but Lee can probably work in any scheme. I think he's that good. Dallas needs to get some 3 techs quick. Ratliff can probably do it, but we need more.

Re: NFL 2012/13 Postseason Thread

Bitter end for the Pack. Season ends as it begun, with another frustratingly poor game plan for the Niners from Dom Capers. First game of the season, it was blown coverages and some flat out bad calls, with Alex Smith picking us apart. This time, it was the complete naivety in nullifying the read option and Kaepernick's athletic ability when scrambling. The Niners scored at will today, and Capers had no answers aside from putting Clay Matthews on a QB spy assignment. It's frustrating, because we have one of the best players in football on D in Matthews, with some other solid players (Raji, Woodson, Williams, Shields, Burnett). The personnel is certainly better than the performance they turned tonight. Troy Aikman (one of my favourite commentators) picked up on the non-existent preparation for Kaepernick.

On offense, it was as expected. Playing the best defense in football on the road, it's hard to expect a lot. Defense had to show but didn't.

I hope Ravens clinch the Bowl now. Just for Ray Lewis. Dude's incredible.

Re: NFL 2012/13 Postseason Thread

Not just Ray, but that whole damn team. Flacco really isn't getting enough credit for what he did last night and the week before against the Colts. And what Smith did to Champ Bailey, one of the greatest cornerbacks in the history of the NFL, just basically DESTROYED him all damn night.... WOW. I'm definitely happy for Ray since he's my favorite player ever, but he couldn't have done it without the Ravens playing the way they did. The game was only close because of those two busted special teams plays that Holliday ran back touchdowns on, but the offense and defense still overcame it.

Needless to say, I'm rooting for Houston like mad today now. The Ravens don't need Brady next week. Not saying the Ravens can't beat them, but I just like their chances against Houston better. Problem is, I don't like Houston's chances against New England like AT ALL.

Re: NFL 2012/13 Postseason Thread

That pass Flacco made to Pitta on 3rd down from their own 3 was just awesome, Ray Rice wasn't great but had a couple real nice runs that contributed to some good drives... this team is just playing really well right now and I think they've go a good chance no matter who they face next week......

How good were the Niners last night!!!! Damn I hope the Seahawks win today so we get a rematch between the best of the west in the NFC..... hopefully more good football on tap today!
