Well, you can make your predictions but one injury could easily derail a team, can't predict that.

I'd have no problem saying the Niners were better than those teams last year as they reached the Superbowl. This year? Prove it.

Really? Pretty sure Ted Ginn got injured in the playoffs against the Saints and the backup punt returner filling in for him the following game fumbled/muffed the ball twice, setting up 2 Giants scores. Lucky them. For receivers they were using Crabtree and 2 guys that came off the streets 3 weeks prior because of injuries.

Then last year they lost Manningham, Hunter, and Kyle Williams to season ending injuries, and then their entire pass rush (Aldon and Justin Smith) tore shoulder and triceps muscles in the last few games of the regular season and were nearly worthless through the Super Bowl.

I would say injuries dramatically impacted both playoff runs.

Yes, the unstoppable Ted Gin. None of those players who were out were all that significant.

Whelp, it's official the world's ending, someone is claiming Ted Ginn getting injured dramatically impacted a teams playoff run.













Either that or you're fucking retarded.

People don't seem to understand how important luck is in the NFL. It's not like MLB or NBA where you have 162 and 82 game seasons.

You have 16 games and single elimination playoffs. One bad throw can lead to a pick 6 and a 14 point swing. That's usually enough to swing a whole game and the difference between winning and losing.

And for the Niners, you have the Rams who beat them once and tied once as well as the Giants who just absolutely made them their bitches and so did the Seahawks in week 16. So between that and losing the Super Bowl I don't really see much of a case for them being the best.

I would say the 2 best pass rushers on the team being injured at the end of the regular season last year was pretty significant seeing as the defense went from giving up 14 points/game when Justin and Aldon were healthy through the first 14 weeks to 28/game from week 15 through the Super Bowl when they were hurt.

And anyone who doesn't think Ginn getting hurt in 2011 was a big deal is a fucking moron. The guy was one of the best return men in the league that year and didn't have a single fumble all season. Kyle Williams comes in and his muff and fumble lead to 10 of the Giants' 20 points in the NFC Championship game. Reliability is important, and that's what was lost when he got injured. If Ginn doesn't get injured the Niners probably end up in the Super Bowl.

Bengals over 49ers in the Super Bowl. Revenge time. I took a lot of hallucinogens this morning.

2008 we won the SB after our starting RB was hurt (Willie Parker), and didnt have Hines Ward remotely healthy for the SB with a fucked up MCL from the Ravens game. On top of the hodge podge OL we were fielding at the time and after losing Alan Faneca.

Next man up brosky. No excuses.

I totally agree, and not making excuses for them losing. Just responding to the guy claiming the 49ers have been lucky with injuries and none of them have affected the team other than benefiting from Alex Smith getting hurt. If anything the timing of their injuries was extremely unlucky and have shown to be critical losses at key positions heading into the playoffs.
