49ers Defeat Giants 27-20 To Move To 8-1

Defensive end Justin Smith batted down Eli Manning's fourth-down pass late in the fourth quarter to preserve the San Francisco 49ers' 27-20 victory over the New York Giants. The Giants used a 32-yard Hakeem Nicks touchdown reception to get within seven, 27-20, midway through the final period. The visitors then forced the 49ers to punt before marching down the field but when faced with a 4th-and-2 from the 10 with 37 seconds to play, Smith put his arms up to knock down Manning's pbutt. Alex Smith took a few kneel downs to seal San Francisco's seventh straight victory, the club's best run since it ripped off 11 straight victories during the 1997 season. The 49ers (8-1) got the win despite running back Frank Gore having zero rushing yards on six carries.

What a great game from both of the teams...

 

Time to change the sig yet?

 

If the first half of the game was an indication, no, it's not time yet.

 

Nope, they started winning when I put it up so I may as well hang on to it...

 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, Sweets!

 

They had a lead. They played good defense.

 

True, but it's hard to get excited about nothing but field goals.

 

Tell LSU that

 

First time since divisions were realigned, all teams in the NFC West won in the same week.

 

8-1??? Who saw that? And weve only played one division game so far!

WHOS GOT IT BETTER THEN US???? NOOOOOO-BODY!!!
