Keys to the game: 49ers, Giants

When Mike Singletary was the San Francisco 49ers Head Coach he led his team the way he played.  As a middle linebacker for the Chicago Bears Singletary wore his heart on his sleeve and played with reckless abandon leaving everything on the field…everything.  Arguably the most intimidating middle linebacker to ever wear an NFL uniform, Singletary hoped that his old school approach...

In the first quarter of Sunday's NFC Championship game in San Francisco, 49ers tight end Vernon Davis scored a 73-yard touchdown against the New York Giants. After leaping over the row of photographers behind the end zone, Davis climbed up onto a camera stand and stood staring back towards the field, proud of himself. Unfortunately, the officials flagged Davis for an unsportsmanlike...

I remember when the Miami Hurricanes were scheduled to appear in like 12 parties after the BCS Championship game against the Ohio State Buckeyes. I always thought the Football Gods didn’t like such presumptuous behavior. The Canes lost, Willis McGahee knee was destroyed and they were never really the same afterwards. Vernon Davis had a monster playoff game against the Saints...

For all you 49ers fans out there just pining for the start of the NFC Championship game, here is something to entertain you until then. Below, 49ers offensive lineman Joe Staley and tight end Vernon Davis decided to do a little bit of singing to Adele's classic track, "Someone Like You": Here is the longer version of the clip part of "The Joe Show":

You have to be pretty confident in your team’s ability to walk out of Sunday with a victory if you are hosting a NFL Championship after “party,” right?  Tiight End Vernon Davis seems like he is fairly certain his 49ers will be victorious, or else this will be a very interesting after “party.” via SB Nation Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

Today, Vontae Davis can be a fan. Although the Dolphins were out of the postseason race weeks ago, Davis is still in the thick of it. Well, sort of. He will be in San Francisco at Candlestick Park to cheer on his brother Vernon Davis, a tight end for the 49ers. San Francisco plays the New York Giants in the NFC championship game. “It’s real crazy because growing up we alwaysâ€...

With a record-setting day and the winning touchdown in his playoff debut, Vernon Davis left no doubt he is indeed a winner. A weeping Davis fell...

I can’t imagine the scene at this shindig on Sunday night. Vernon Davis probably should have waited a bit before he started blasting off about his post-game NFC Championship Party. Unfortunately, the Giants had something to say about that. Don’t get it twisted with good old Vernon, the tears don’t mean a thing, he’s still the low-life Mike Singletary thought he was…..

The 49ers just announced that WR/KR Ted Ginn Jr. is not active for today’s game, but TE Delanie Walker is back in the line-up after missing several weeks. That’ll put Kyle Williams into the starting unit for Ginn but also sets up Walker–broken jaw on Dec. 24–to have a... Continue reading...

MAKING THE GRADEPass offense: For the second time in two playoff games, Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes to Vernon Davis.

Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. is out of the NFC championship game for San Francisco with an injured right knee, and tight end Delanie Walker is active for the first time since breaking his left jaw. Ginn hurt his knee last week against New Orleans and did not practice all week leading up to Sunday's game against the New York Giants.

The weekend has finally arrived. In two days we will all know who will be playing for the Lombardi trophy in Super Bowl XLVI, two weeks from now. Will it be a 2007 rematch of the Giants and Patriots? Or will it be a family affair featuring brothers as head coaches playing eachother for the first time in NFL postseason history? For Jim Harbaugh and his 49ers, they can't afford...
