The Old NFC West

Nobody is squirming. The 49ers ran all over the Rams yesterday and the coach blew a call to lose it. They will be fired up and know this is do or die, possible playoffs with a win, with a loss see you next year. I am a 49ers fan and am flying out to the game. Can't wait.

While we come from different perspectives, I agree with you. This game will not be as easy as most of us Saints fans would like it to be. While all in all, this game shouldnt even be close; the 49ers have struggled on the road all season and the Saints offense should move the ball at ease of the 49ers defense. However, reapeat....HOWEVER, if the Saints dont come ready to play and get caught looking ahead, Frank Gore could have 200 yards on the ground and the 49ers will be able to hold onto the football. Then in that case, the game wont be close from the other way around.

Talent-wise, this matchup highly favors the Saints. The 49ers dont have enough of a passing game threat for the Saints to respect the passing game (not saying the 9ers dont have a good offense). The Saints should be able to play man coverage and pull a safety in to support the run.
