You practice hard, you work hard, you make your breaks and sometimes the breaks fall your way. That happens when you are a good football team. The opposite also holds true, most of the time. Your observations were keen, and spot on, but the 49ers are a much better team than the Giants right now and that's what happened.
Look, Bill Parcells' 1984 Giants went through the same thing during Bill Walsh's masterpiece 15-1 season while defeating the Giants and Bears before dismantling the Dolphins to cap one of the greatest seasons in NFL history. Don't think for one second that Parcells didn't use the 31-10 MNF loss, as well as the 21-10 Divisional Playoff defeat as a springboard to improve the team so they could compete against the league champions in the future. Sure enough, they got their revenge in the 1985 NFC Wild Card Game when the 49ers came to Giants Stadium for the first ever Giant home playoff game there and defeated their nemesis 17-3. Only a season later, when the Giants were ready to claim the NFL Championship, they gave the 49ers some retribution of past playoff defeats in the now-legendary 49-3 Divisional Playoff victory.
Daboll is going to have to find a way to get better and compete with the boys by the bay because his team isn't prepared to carry their jock strap at this point.
It's over and nothing can be done about it right now. Onto the Seattle game which becomes an important home game.
Peace!
