THE 49ERS WILL LEAD ME TO A PREMATURE DEATH
It's tough being a 49er fan this season. In less than 30 minutes of football my emotions went from utter devestation, to flickering hope, to excitement, to exhausted relief. I know when the Niners play that no lead is safe, but I generally think it's when they are the ones who has the lead. The 49ers had no business winning that game. The only explanation is the Giants felt they already had the game won and relaxed just a bit. The result is the second largest playoff comeback in NFL history next to Buffalo's win over the Houston Oilers more than a decade ago. The 49ers may not get any further in the playoffs, but at least the 49ers can look back to this game and hold their heads high.
SOME BRIEF THOUGHTS:
The 49ers better employ that hurry up offense early and often against Tampa Bay.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Mooch ended his 49er coaching career with a loss at Tampa Bay? It's where he got his start, in the same game Jerry Rice blew out his knee and Steve Young suffered another in a string of concussions.
Seems like all the playoff games so far have been blow outs or teams coming back from huge deficits. It would be nice if we could have some close games for 60 minutes next week.
