NFC championship open thread

Submitted by michgoblue on January 19th, 2014 at 6:35 PM

Title says it all. First game was kind of slow until the 4th. I expect this game to provide a bit more excitement.

Also, this thread can serve double duty as a Sunday night (of a three day weekend for many) drinking thread.

49ers getting all the calls for the second week in a row? He didn't look in. Looked like all the officials but one thought he was short.

Where the first down marker is laying down the 49er behind the one in the red jacket elbows the Seahawk in the head.

Anyone know who it was? Whoever it was will be meeting with Goodell this week. That should be suspendable at the very least. You can't pull that garbage on a guy running full speed. That's dangerous.

I watched it about 50 times. Is it the black dude in street clothes who does it? Clearly the Seahawk player goes down like he got wacked but I'm having a hard time picking out the who did it.

SF with two plays. Seattle with one play. Yawner from an offensive standpoint but still entertaining.

I'm so glad this game hasn't looked like the SF vs Carolina game. I was growing tiresome of the thug tactics.

Carolina came into sf during the season acting like thugs and Niners stepped down. They made it a point last week to do the same to them. I understand what your saying though... I didn't like it at all but it was more of a strategy than just being thugs.

Just said the same thing to my girlfriend. I don't know if it was a bad shot and maybe he's heavily layered in clothing that just looked weird, but it caught me by surprise.

I always thought of him as a pretty fit dude, which just added to his overall "this is a scary intense guy" quotient.

Those shots didn't look like it was just the khakis, but maybe it is just layers and not fat.

Walmart Khakis will do that. If he bought pants with a more tailored look, he wouldn't look quite so bad. Also, the life of a football coach is a very unhealthy life.

A few interesting numbers -

San Francisco has managed 128 yards of offense on 22 plays, good for 5.82 yards per snap and 0.445 points per play. Seattle has managed 126 yards on 25 plays, or 5.04 yards per snap and 0.12 points per play. Lynch is basically the entire rushing attack for Seattle - 12 carries for 33 yards, or about 2.8 yards per carry. To be fair, Kaepernick is virtually the entire San Francisco offense, accouting for 115 of their 128 yards between his arm and his legs.

Is this good D or bad offense? I think coming into it most people would say good D, but the more I watch both these teams have major issues throwing the ball.
