Three Cheers for the Niners

No way I would have guessed that Alex Smith and Eli Manning would join Tom Brady as the best QBs this weekend.

Though I was for the Saints, I had to applaud the winning pass from Smith to TE Davis in the end zone.  He courageously zipped the ball in traffic before Davis broke--a play that could have easily been tipped and intercepted if the pass was not in that small completion window.

Congrats to the 49ers.

And, though I appreciate that Hakeem Nicks has supported my argument in that he has the potential to be a dominant fantasy receiver with his outstanding playoff performance (over 250 yards and 4 TDs receiving), I keep thinking: why could you not score like this consistently during the regular season? 

I mean being the #11 overall receiver is good, but my fantasy team sure could have used that production.

Oh well.

  1. I'm not a fan of the Saints or Drew Brees's Nyquil commercials. I bet against them so I was glad for the 49ers to pull through.

    And about Alex Smith...Brother and I argued for a good 20 min about his name. He SWORE up and down that it was Emitt Smith. Clearly he should listen to me when it comes to players. haha
