And that guy who let the punt bounce off his knee and then acted like he hoped no one would notice, I wouldn't be surprised if dude is looking for a job before too long. That might have been the error that lost the game.
One thing that griped me, was that business of playing catious at the end of the first half. That letting the 2 minute warning go off instead of running a play. And then on the next play, Smith had Davis looking good downfield, but no, wouldn't want to stop the clock with an incompletion.
Oh well, it was a much better season than any of us would have hoped for.

Williams' ineptitude was directly responsible for ten Giants points.
Worse than letting the ball hit his knee, he should have signaled fair catch on that ball and gone up and caught it (at least 10-12 yards better field position, too). If there was some reason he couldn't, the rule is to get the heck out of the way of it no matter what (to prevent what actually happened). His two errors on that single play were 7 Giants points. But for that, the OT likely never would have happened, where the fumble after being stripped could have happened to anyone.
Nonetheless, it's a team sport and you can't really lay the blame on one guy for losing the game any more than you can lay the win on one guy when it goes the other way. After all, anyone can have an off day.
Still, the Niners weren't supposed to be there anyway, so good for them getting that far. At least it wasn't the odious Raiders.
