    It's an interesting question as to how much better it is to get the ball first under these rules. 4th and 2 from the 30 becomes a very interesting decision.

    You would think. And then you get an idiot like Donovan McNabb admitting he has no fucking clue what the rules were after the game...

    Sure it's right. They both had a chance to score. One didn't.

    He still fucked it up.

    "If the first team to possess the ball kicks a FG, then we are in sudden death."

    No, the other team gets a chance to tie or win, so it isn't sudden death. Grrr!!!

    No kidding. The man loves to hear himself talk, until he doesn't, and then he gets marbles in his mouth like a 9th grader in speech class.

    You still want it first. You score a td, you win. It just takes the nonsensical fg set-up when teams get to their opponents 30..

    Except the receiving team can't end it with a FG.

    If you stop the other team, you should be able to win with a FG. Why not? The rules make sense in that way, although I'd prefer a full quarter.

    As for Eli, he's a good QB. Is he "elite", as in on the level of Brady, Brees, and Rodgers? I'd say no. But he's not far behind.

    neither team has moved the ball in the 2nd half, i say the niners are better off kicking off also.

    2 niners break up their own interception yet again

    38 is a buffoon that needs to get out of his teammates way

    Second time Eli threw it and two SF defenders break it up to prevent the INT

    It's like an artform. Make it so bad that multiple guys can pick it off.

    49ers defenders crashed into each other and prevented a pick.

    But the only way the defending team wins with a FG is to prevent the other team from scoring.
    Thus earning the victory.

    Sanchez throws a very catchable INT.

    Someone had to say it.

    I wonder if we're closing in on the record for punts in a conference championship game
