Dallas: 432 Yards
Philadelphia: 416 Yards
Detroit: 293 Yards (Shitty run team, completely one-dimensional)
Giants: 311 Yards (Worst run team, completely one-dimensional)
Pittsburgh: 330 Yards (One legged Big Ben
_______________________________________________
Only loss was vs Dallas. About 90 of the Dallas yards were on one pass play in OT. That was second game of the season where Dallas played hard to avoid a 0-2 start. Niners have come long ways since that game.
Niners are 4-1 in the aformentioned matchups. Eagles dominated the game yet Niners made a defensive play at the end of the game to win. Detroit was tallk of the NFL at 5-0, Niners tammed them. G-men were not one dimensional in that game. Here is the link to the box score for that game https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore?gid=20111113025; BTW, G-men may be the most balanced team left in the playoffs. No doubt that Ben's injury impacted Pitts offense. Niners still scored 20 points on that #1 rated defense.
You wrote "Frank Gore is old and NO defense is underrated". You are entitled to your opinion but I disagree.
You wrote "Look at the Packers and Patriots defense and tell me theirs are any different.". Good point. They are all week defenses with stronger offenses. While GB has 15-1 record, SF, NO, and NE are next best teams at 13-3. SF got there differently; with a strong defense and week offense. Who cares if Brees throws for 500 yards as long as Alex's TEAM wins by 1 point?
You wrote "Playoff YTD: (5-0) +20 units".
I'm taking that as a typo and 4-0 instead? While we differ on this game, we share 4-0 for the previous week.

nice write-up. I keep reading about how great the niner defense is, but i noticed the same same thing as you: good teams can move the ball and get yardage against the niner defense.
San Fran play a brand of defense that relies on turnovers.... it the saints control the ball, and don't turn it over, the niners will look very ordinary and out-matched.... there is no doubt the saints will move the ball and generate yardage....
the key to this game, imo:
- can the niners generate drive killing turnovers and get good field position for its offense?
- can the niners get red-zone stops, forcing the saints to kick field goals instead of getting touchdowns.
If the niners can do the above, they will hang in there, cover and possibly win.... if not, the saints will win by outscoring the niners (that may be the most ludicrously obvious statement of the day)
Its very difficult to bet on or against teams that relies on turnovers, like the niners. They can beat anyone, but they can look like garbage when the turnovers don't go their way....

exactly, couldn't agree more.... if the niners don't win the turnover battle, they are going to look like crap.... if the niners win the turnover battle by +1 or +2, this will still be a tight game...... if niners are +3 in turnovers, they will win.

Both teams got to 13-3 in different ways in the regular season.
Brees and company offensive machine, it's much easier to play defense when your way ahead.
49ers defense with turn-overs, field position, and special teams. Alex Smith not making mistakes.
Can Brees play mistake free football for the win?
