The 49ers had a good season, but they had to play much better than they did against the Giants last night.
The Niners' wide receivers couldn't get open to catch more than one pass. The offense couldn't convert on third down more than one time. And their special teams, which were Pro Bowl caliber all season, couldn't find the handle on punts in the second half.
Their defense is excellent and did its job. But defense doesn't score points as a rule: offense does that and the Niners' offense couldn't muster more than 17.
The good news is that they have a coach at last. If they can keep their team together in the off season they'll go a long way in 2012-2013.
Eli Manning is amazing as is Victor Cruz, and the Giants' defense is every bit as good as the Niners' defense. What a great game. The Giants deserved to win. They played better overall.
Watch out New England: you are going to have your hands full.
