Calm before the storm

Kaep can't make all the throws, which is why Davis has had bad numbers.

Ryan can and does make all the throws.

"Group-think" is a very scary and dangerous thing.

I know I felt the weight off our shoulders after a nerve-wrecking week last week, and can only imagine that the players feel 100 lbs lighter for this game!

I think they are going to get our best shot! And it will be amazing!

I'm too lazy to look it up but has kaepernick ever started a game in a dome other than St.Louis?

I am nervous in a good way....anxious for it to get here.....but nervous (just want our boys to come out and play 60 full minutes of falcon's football...) if they do that I know we will take the prize....

we have been disrespected, undervalued (in our own home), and 75% of media and NFL fans think we will get crushed.....

Peter King picked against us....so I feel pretty damn good! (make sure you pick the AFC team in the Superbowl you BIG piece of garbage!)

RISE UP!

2 indoor games he is 1-1, but his QBR is like combined 86.8...he tends to fall apart when crowds are loud.....

Penalties could factor in big time...we have a crew that loves to call PI and holding....and we are the least penalized team and they are #27....that could really favor us!!

Yes, the week before in New Orleans. Interestingly, if you take away Brees's two pick 6's, the 49ers offense only put up 17 points that game. In two Dome starts, the 49ers averaged 15 points, 357 total yards, 211 passing and 146 rushing.

thanks for the back up....I was actually talking about this with a buddy at work...but drew a blank when I saw the question about CK in domes....

If you remember after that niners game they considered benching CK.....but because the Defense bailed him out they didn't....CK is vulnerable in the dome with lots of noise....so those going to the game RISE UP you have two weeks to get your voice back if you are heading to the superdome....and if you aren't you won't need your voice for the SB!

It actually got started while driving home and listening to ESPN radio. They were talking about the 49ers and calling them "The best team we've seen in years." These were some of the lines that really aggrevated me.

"When you look at the matchups position by position, the 9ers win them all. Maybe you give the Falcons WR, but that's it." Really, Kaepernick over Ryan? Davis over Tony G? Their secondary over ours? What about special teams? Surely you're not picking Akers over Bryant.

"The Falcons game last week was their big win, it was their Super Bowl." Not according to anyone in this organization.

"The Falcons weren't respected all season, got the number one seed. They were picked to lose last week, but won. Now they are picked to lose again this week. Eventually, it's not lack of respect, you're just not a good team." WTF was he smoking?

I heard the same exact thing. It was Eric Allen as a guest host on some show I.never heard of but I think the hosts name started with a B

I want to see the cameras showing the game shaking from the noise....113 ? the record is 117.8, I want to hear that dome break 120!!!!!!

I ran through all the match ups....they MAY beat us in three categories D-line, O-line, and LB - however I would say our O-line has done a great job protecting our QB all year....have they failed at a few points sure....but I still think they have gelled. D-line you have to give it to them.....they produce more sacks.....LBs definitely a young and VERY strong crew for them....I would have said hands down at about the mid point of the season.....but our LBs have really come around and Nolan's scheme has made them better.....provided they tackle instead of always attempt to strip the ball...they can hold their own....

Our defense gives up yards....it doesn't give up a whole lot of points....and I believe our offense can outgun theirs......

Tomorrow we make another big noise......and I truly hope the media disrespects us until we hoist the Lombardi Trophy above our heads...!!!!
