I went with my head. I don't think it is going to be a complete blowout like the Cowboy game, but I don't think it is going to be very pretty. I hope not and I hope the Giants win this, but....

Went with Giants, it’s too obvious, how could I not? I love this energy from you. Awesome to see. Isn’t football more enjoyable this way? Not when they get their asses had to them after I got my hopes up but I said I would post nothing but positive comments during and after the game, we’ll see how long I can last, haha.

If Jones is given protection the Giants should hold their own. Might get down to whether the Giants defense can do the same. Have to pressure Purdy.

Hard to do when most of Purdy's throws are short to mid range... Giants need to tackle well and rally to the ball.. it's about limiting these guys RAC yardage..

I personally think we will get another handful of ass tonight, but thinking that ahead of time isn’t going to make it any better if it happens. Ha

The only reason I'd give the Giants a chance is that it's Thursday Night Football and there's been a lot of bad football on TNF. SF has to play poorly for the Giants to win/cover. I'd love to see the Giants shock the world, but I'd bet on a repeat of the Cowgirls/Eagles (playoff game). I really fear Neal might get DJ killed. Neal get DJ killed ? Peart at LT is more dangerous to DJ. No Thomas and Barkley tonight. This could get real ugly real fast. Except Peart isn't playing left tackle. It will be Ezeudu, who didn't look too bad last week. That being said, Nick Bosa and the 49ers dline is a completely different beast.

Looking at the tape from the past two weeks...most of the big plays the 49ers have had have been due to the defense being undisciplined in their assignments and poor tackling. Their receivers also lead the league in separation before the catch. If the two teams they played were able to execute their assignments and tackle better, the 49ers are likely 1-1 at best.
The keys to winning this game are for the defense to be disciplined and tackle well, and the offense needs to not turn the ball over and limit pressure on Jones as much as possible. In addition, Jones is going to have to carry the offense again. All easier said than done.
Ultimately, the 49ers are better in the trenches on both sides of the ball which usually will lead to a victory.
Anything can happen though, and the Giants defense is due for a turnover or two. We'll see what happens soon. I voted for a Giants win because I'm a homer.

I am prepared for the Giants to have their asses politely handed to them tonight.

Call me crazy (and I am sure some of you will) but I have a good feeling about this game. I think the Niners are vulnerable in the secondary and IF the Giants can give DJ some time, or he can move out of the pocket and buy some time, I think they can score enough points to win.
Of course they have to be able to stop the Niners offense and pressure Mr Irrelevant, force him into some bad decisions.
I think its close and in the end the Giants pull it out in the 4th quarter...
Giants 27 Niners 24

With a short week away, 2 starting OLmen, 1 starting pass rusher and our star running back sidelined, this game will be a tall order to defeat the 9ers. I hope Dabs calls the offensive plays or has a really good game plan setup for Kaftka to run off of. I think running the ball against the 9er's front is going to be very difficult even if we had SB. We need to throw it to win this game. Get Hyatt out there early and often. We NEED the OL to just give DJ a little time to look downfield. We never run screens and even when we do, they never seem to work. I wish we could get better at that, it would really help move the chains.
I won't pick our Giants to lose or predict the score on this board because the score in my head is too lopsided. I don't want it written down to put a jinx on the Giants.
GO GIANTS!

Nice, I'm hating on the refs already. I hope this goes both ways, but wouldn't place any bets on that. I think for some reason the NFL refs have it out for our Giants. I've felt this way ever since Norman of the Panthers picked up OBJ like a rag doll and threw him to the ground, no flag. I was at that game and I saw it with my own eyes. This is why I despise the NFL refs and always will.

Same pair of eyes are gonna be on the SF OLine, which seems to be their weakest position group.

First post; long time lurker (since '07). So much negativity on here about tonight's match up (understandable considering 60-0 and the general ineptitude since - let's be honest - the last SB run (McAdoo playoff run don't count and you know it.)
As a fan from the UK and a general sports fan - you should never rule out this team and really any in the NFL on any given day. All this 'the '9ers are gonna annihilate us......'
These guys ain't the 85 bears, 86 giants, 01 Ravens on defense. They're good, no doubt. And they may well destroy us. But as a sports fan used to UK football (soccer) - it is so much more unpredictable in the NFL. ANY GIVEN SUNDAY (THURSDAY).
Nick Bosa is a phenomenal player. Guess what, he's also human. He can be game planned for. Schemed for. Have an off-day. Have the game-winning sack overturned by penalty. Or a signature DJ run. WE HAVE TO BELIEVE
Momentum is huge in sports, we have it right now despite Saquon's injury. No one believes we can do this WHICH IS CRAZY considering this is week 3 in the NFL and we're playing a good team with an unproven QB.
I vividly remember the '08 Giants walking into Cleveland who were (surprise surprise) awful at the time, we were looking unstoppable and we shit the bed in prime time.
Who knows, maybe we are SF's trap game. I'll take it...
