looks like the Saints are initially going old school
does the look like an old style 6-2 defense or have I eaten too many patato chips already?

Harbaugh has taught his team how to win
In 9 years I have never seen Cincy start a must-win (or any) game as loose, fast, intense, and confident. How has Jim Harbaugh accomplished in one season what Marvin has not in 9? A big part of winning is attitiude. Harbaugh knows how to teach it.
he's successful everywhere he's been
it is probably not a coincidence.

I put $25 on the Niners before the post season started at 10-1 odds to win it all
and this is why….Defense!
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
Love your thinking
I picked the Niners among my friends at work to win division because I saw nothing in division that could take them out.
They play old school defense with an offense that now does not make the old silly mistakes they did with Nolan or Singletary.

He was twisted on landing lasst time around and he landed square on his left hip there. He will need some hot/cold to keep loose on the break. Remember, the Niners have second half KO.

if the Zimmer situation doesn’t end in our favor and Del Rio is gone by the time we are looking for his replacement, what do you all think of Mike Singletary as our Defensive Coordinator? He’s currently the LB coach for the Vikings and has the same fiery attitude that Zimm has, thoughts?

I don’t want to see Marvin fired, I want him to be promoted to G.M. while handing the reigns over to Zimmer as head coach and hiring Jack Del Rio as Defensive Coordinator. Who Dey!!!

This team was built by Singletary
You see the same thing with Rex Ryan. The Jets were built by Mangini. Ryan can barely get any of his draft picks on the field.
I think sometimes it takes someone from the outside to come in a rekindle the fire.
Some guys are personel guy and some guys are coaches. rarely do you see both.

You can see it in the defense and mentality
But Singletary will never ever head coach in a NFC chanpionchip game
