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.

SAN FRANCISCO – Alex Smith reared back and launched a deep throw toward 49ers wide receiver Kyle Williams. It was early in the second quarter, the score tied 7-7, and Williams was streaking up the middle of the field with a step, or three, on the nearest New York Giants defensive back.

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. They kept the Pats under 24 points, forced Brady and others into turnovers and still.....it was...

From Jon Wagner……
With the possibility of heavy rains forecast for Sunday’s NFC championship game in San Francisco, the prevailing assumption is that the run-first San Francisco 49ers would have a distinct advantage over the pass-first New York Giants.
