Playoffs Open Thread: Saints-49ers

Jim Harbaugh has quickly turned around the San Francisco 49ers, and has them in position to win their first playoff game since 2002 - but they will have to beat the New Orleans Saints to do that.

This will be a clash of two opposite styles. The 49ers have one of the best defenses in the NFL and they have a run-first offense that asks relatively little of its quarterback. The Saints, on the other hand, have built their team around Drew Brees. They have a high-powered offense, one of the best in the league, based on passing the ball and spreading the field. The quarterback is the centerpiece of their team, and he has to be as they lack a good defense.

Offense vs Defense. Pass vs Run. Which style will prevail?

I just wanna see Drew Brees get hit a few times. Can Sproles be contained?

The Saints winning gives the NFCS cred, the Niners winning demonstrates that spanking they gave us earlier this year wasn’t a fluke.

Isn't Colston a FA this year?

DO you guys think there iis any chance the Bucs try for him? I remember reading somewhere that he wouldnt give the Saints a discount. He would help the offense right away and it would get him off the Saints.

Why?

Jax has had some injuries and is reportedly a locker room cancer. I would be fine with getting him, but I like Colston more. I think they are both nearly the same age.

I don't think that's true

I think modern defenses can’t stop a great TE and a QB airing it out to them

Wow what a catch!

No matter how much they are hyped, my teams always find a way to disappoint.

36-32 and the niners won it by airing it out. Looks like defenses are not a thing.

The 49ers knew that if they wanted to win, they couldn't play pansy ball anymore (defense) and had to beat the other team offensively.

Start airing it out to a TE.

seriously

Without their defense and frank gore, they lose that game.

I disagree, I think they should have aired it out the entire game.

They passed it 42 times to 22 runs

How much more passing do you want from Alex Smith

LOL @ the fans chanting Defense.

Your offense won you this game. Welcome to the new NFL.

Defense was key the 49ers game.

Otherwise they would have ended up on the wrong side of a shootout.

I disagree, they ended up on the right side of a shootout anyways

sorry but 60+ points is a shoot out.

What a great game it was.

I believed in the saints offense. I also believed in the 49ers D. nice to see that defense is still a factor in todays game. Go D. The real players that play their hearts out for minimal recognition. I hope the rest of the playoffs are so heart filled.

This game is a microcasm of the modern nfl.

If the niners didn’t start airing it out, it was inevitable that they would lose.

The TE is a more important position then RB and WR in the modern game.

Got rid of their best TE last year Todd Heap. They didnt miss a beat.

Just goes to show

That defenses really do get you to the championships! Unless you have Brady or Rogers :) Hell it got Tebow into the playoffs!
