49ers QB Alex Smith blames the offense for today's loss to the Giants in the NFC Championship: We were awful on third down. We got ourselves in a lot of third-and-longs and then when we were in third-and-manageable, we didnt covert. Too many three-and-outs, didnt help out the defense enough. Convert those third downs, you give yourself more plays, more chances. Smith...

A fairly good Baltimore defensive effort was wasted by a terrible field goal try. I'm a former high school kicker (keep that on the down low though will you....chicks never dig the kicker) and I could not believe how bad he hooked that thing. Everything was set up for a Raven win.

- The Niners picked up a quick first-down, but the Giants defense held after that and forced the first Andy Lee punt.
- Good non-call on Carlos Rogers’ defense on Travis Beckum.
