re: What do you hate most about the 49ers playoff game that ended our 2011 team?

Absolutely. That was the original no-call. Set the tone for the entire game.
Although I still wish Graham would have gone down at the 1 instead of scoring.

GW intentionally blowing the game. Smith could not get out of his own way on the last drive and was running the clock out on his own. GW calls press coverage with Harper deep. Just a ridiculous defensive call with the clock running out.

Don’t

For me it’s the illegal hit on Pierre Thomas at the end of our first drive
He put Pierre to sleep with a quickness but back then it was legal.

There was an interview done after that year. The 49ers players were basically saying that the saints defense was easy to fool bc they used the same freaking blitzes against them that year in pre season.

Same. The second I saw PT Bruiser careening towards Earth face first I knew the chances dropped big time.

The Smith TD run on like 3rd on 7 that we overloaded the defense and he just ran the other way with no pressure.
That was a design QB sweep that the 49ers OC back then, Greg Roman, came up with in their bye week specifically for a Gregg Williams overload blitz.
Williams showed the blitz & then the 49ers called a timeout. Out of the timeout, Williams showed the exact same blitz. The sweep was designed to go away from the overloaded side of the defense. Go look at the replay. You can see Joe Staley pulling & leading the way down the sideline for Alex Smith.

This. Williams played safe on the first 2 plays of that drive. Both were underneath check down completions to Frank Gore for minimal gains but it ate up a good chunk of time. Then Williams decides to blitz & Jabri Greer almost got burned if Smith makes a better throw. That should have been a sign to go back to playing coverage & keep everything in front. Williams doesn't & blitzes again putting Vernon Davis in a favorable matchup that he won easily. That was game for me. I knew the defense wouldn't keep them out the endzone at that point.

No, it was an unbelievable dime by Brees & then run after catch by Graham. Gregg Williams should have been smarter.

Jimmy absolutely punked Patrick Willis on that play. Probably the best play of his career.

Same. Leaving Roman Harper one on one with the fastest TE in the league is when I really lost my shite.

The fact that we had the best offense in NFL and one of the best in NFL history, and couldn't play DEFENSE when it counted!
That may have been the best Saints team ever. They won 11 straight games. And they would have KILLED the Giants in the Dome.
2011 was one of 5 years that the Saints had a great opportunity to at least get to the Super Bowl, along with 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Probably the loss that haunts me the most in any sport for any of my teams. Where to even begin:
- the Pierre hit that’s been mentioned
- that stupid “Tony Montana” song the Niners loved that year
- the best play of Jimmy Graham’s career that ended up completely forgotten after our defense choked
- Gregg Williams giving Niners film on his blitzes to be petty in a preseason game
The Roby fumble on the kickoff is when it really felt like it was gonna be one of those days.

Gregg Williams was & still is a frickin idiot. Just look at the play call that ended his NFL coaching career.

Yes he did. But the back shoulder throw in traffic by Brees to keep the ball away from Patrick Willis & Donte Whitner was such a thing off beauty. The ball location is what allowed Graham the ability to run after the catch. Brees made that throw with heavy pressure in his face.

The Pierre hit wasn’t illegal. He was a “runner” after he made a football move with the ball. Not defenseless. Thomas has said as much
Alex smith keeper is the play that sticks out to me most

Back in 2020, Williams called a zero blitz with the Jets up 4 with 13 seconds left & the Raiders without timeouts remaining around midfield. He left his corners in man across the board & Carr found Henry Ruggs for the game winning 46 yard TD. Williams was fired the next day.
quote:
One day after his ill-advised, all-out blitz failed to take down the opposing quarterback on the game-deciding play, New York Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was sacked by coach Adam Gase in a Monday morning meeting that lasted nearly an hour.
quote:
"Obviously, I wasn't happy about that call," Gase told reporters, explaining the decision to dismiss Williams with four games remaining. "That was a heartbreaking way for our guys to lose a game. For that to happen in that situation, we just ... we can't have that happen."
Williams was universally criticized for calling a risky, Cover 0 blitz while protecting a four-point lead against the Las Vegas Raiders. The result was a 46-yard touchdown pass with five seconds left in the game that gave the Raiders a 31-28 win and dropped the Jets to 0-12.
quote:
He pushed the limit on a third-down play, protecting a four-point lead. Instead of playing a soft zone, he dialed up a seven-man blitz that left rookie cornerback Lamar Jackson, an undrafted free agent, in man-to-man coverage with no safety help. He was torched by fellow rookie Henry Ruggs III, one of the fastest players in the league.
Safety Marcus Maye, also a captain, openly questioned Williams' strategy in a postgame news conference. Gase said Maye's comments didn't factor into his decision, but Maye wasn't alone. Other players didn't agree with Williams' call for an all-out blitz, sources said.

Here's the highlights from that game.

The abusive 49er fans, before during, and after the game. They were horrible! Constant Katrina references, like “too bad you didn’t die, maybe I should kill you now!” …that kind of wonderful stuff..yep
