Halftime 49ers 9- Giants 6

Giants first scoring drive should have ended in a turnover.  That call was complete bulls*** no whistle was blown, forward progress was not stopped, let them play football boys!  I like the aggressive opening drive with lots of spread them out pass plays, getting Braylon Edwards involved early established another threat.  Look for this to help open up the run game later, making the Giants respect our weapons in the passing game early could be pivotal to the run later in the game.  The 49ers may be hiding Frank Gore’s injury a little bit while limiting his work.  Still I’d like to see more running plays even if that means playing Kendall Hunter more.

I’d like to see Aldon Smith on the field more often, without Ahmad Bradshaw the Giants are going to have to rely on their passing attack and getting in Eli Manning’s face will be huge in this game.  The 49ers have 0 sacks in the first half and that must change if they expect to stop Manning and the Giants passing game in the second half.
