[quote=Chief X_Phackter;992846]Well, I am glad you checked that last time; and BTW, Bettis and Lewis = Apples and Oranges.

If it weren't for the media, I guess no one would really know just how much of a self-centered hypocrite he really is... "my team, my teamates, god, faith, no weapon, I didn't kill anyone... hey watch me dance... it's all about me baby, do you see me, look...watch me come out of the tunnel...see ME?


Go, just GO away already.


No doubt he has been a good linebacker for many years, I guess I am just tired of it and this last year seems ever-so tiresome.[/quote]

Really, how different is it? Is it just because you don't like Lewis? If I remember correctly, the media made that Super Bowl ALL about Jerome Bettis. It was even made worst by the fact that that particular Super Bowl was played in Bettis hometown.

The media is going to take a story and blow it up to get ratings. If you don't want to hear about it, then turn off the TV, Twitter, Facebook, etc., etc. The media is always going to have a Ray Lewis, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, and a Tom Brady that they are going to go overboard in their coverage.

[quote=skinsfaninok;992820]That.last play was a great Nocall by the refs. Crabtree was all over that db and even pushed him to the ground.[/quote]

Only after the defender had both arms wrapped around him, had he not he would have been tackled. Watching the replay, don't know how that was not defensive holding/illegal contact or interference.

As NC said, however, couple of no-calls went SF way too.

Re: Ravens v. Niners Super Bowl Thread
 

Little shocked Jim Harbaugh is gonna show no class and blame the refs for the loss. That's what he basically did several times after the game. Amazing. He needs to talk about how the 49er defense got scorched the last 5 weeks of the season including playoffs.

Come on guys. That last no-call was a joke. It is what it is but it's totally obvious the nfl ( roger ) wanted crybaby ray to end with a ring.

[quote=CultBrennan59;992827]Very good Super Bowl. Not the best ever but definitely entertaining. If the power didn't go out, it would have been even better.[/quote]
I actually thought it was one of the worst in recent memories until the lights went out. After the power came back on SF got into a rhythm and made a game of it, but I think if no power outage, SF never even gets close.

[quote]Flacco played like a top 5 QB tonight and for a half looked like the best super bowl QB I have ever seen.

If Baltimore recieves to start the game, we may be talking about the 49ers winning tonight.[/quote]

agree on Flacco, But why would we be talking about a SF win if Baltimore recieved? I don't understand that comment.

[quote]These teams hated each other. So many post play fights.

So glad Ed Reed, Suggs, Ngata, Boldin, Rice, Leach, Birk all got their much deserved rings (add Flacco, Jacoby, and Torrey to that now)
[/quote]

[quote]like donofriso said keep in mind how this team is built. Smart underrated FA signings. We've been doing that for the most part of late, but just for some of you fans that want us to go out and get a big name, these guys aren't Big names.

And once again the Redskins have beaten the super bowl champion and for the past 7 straight years we've played the eventual super bowl champ in the regular season.[/quote]
Ravens have lived off an old defense, that is a matter of keeping their own. I don't think they would not address a need in FA if one fit, big name or not, the key is building the whole team from player #1 to player #53, they have done a good job on that.

Re: Ravens v. Niners Super Bowl Thread
 

I thought that the last no-call was a good one. Both players were guilty and either could have been flagged. It would have sucked if the Super Bowl had been decided by arbitrarily pointing the finger at one of those guys. It was a good time to let 'em play.

They were letting it go all game for both sides, would have been totally unfair to flag it at the end like that.

Re: Ravens v. Niners Super Bowl Thread
 

On the other hand look at this view, and tell me why the Ref didn't call a personal foul. Its clear Reed puts his helmet right on Crabtree's before he is a runner.

I seem to remember early in the game the 49ers got called for one that directly led to a Baltimore TD.

I just think there was a bunch of bad, uneven officiating in this game. Even when they were getting chippy, I know I saw one player take at shot at an opponents helmet with a ref looking right at him. Sometimes reminded me of the St Louis game in how the refs handled it.

It's kinda a shame that we started the season talking about the refs and the lockout, now the last game has some questionable calls to (both ways for sure, but that doesn't make it right).

I hope that whatever system they have put in place for grading and evaluation, next season sees better quality ref'ing all the way around.

Look, criticize the play call. A fade route to Crabtree on 4th down? Horrible and pathetic. Thats a first down playcall and you need to throw that to a physical reciever who knows create space. Crabtree is not close to that type of guy. Horrible playcall.

Sorry, I said Reed, it wasn't. As for a great play, I dunno, I thought you can't lead to the helmet of a defenseless receiver which is what I believe Crabtree was, otherwise it should have been a fumble out of bounds, not incomplete.

I am willing to bet that 22 sees a fine come his way for that one.

Re: Ravens v. Niners Super Bowl Thread
 

I really didn't have a big problem with the refs, I thought they let a little too much go but at the same time they called it fairly evenly for both sides. They let them play for the most part.

Re: Ravens v. Niners Super Bowl Thread
 

The refs did a great job. They did not call anything unless it was obvious. Which is how it should be. I hate when refs aren't sure but they throw the flag anyway. You see the ref look right at crabtree and Smith battling, Crabtree was engaging with Smith just as much as Crabtree was. I would have hated to see the same result of the Miami OSU national Championship game. SF played dirty and so did Baltimore. Refs let it go and let the players play. The best official is the quiet one. Going down 28-6 is what lost the game.

I agree about that, and honestly, no power outage, and I think that game remains a blowout. Imagine the crying that Bmore fans would be doing if they lost after the power outage. Might even be worse then them winning it.

I agree. Let them play. As long as they are calling the same game both ways. Which they were. Like the Seattle Redskins game. Physical play in the secondary. Let them play.

Exactly. However I did think the call on Akers was a flat out joke. The refs have to be able to see that the kicker is over acting there. That gave SF 3 points.

Re: Ravens v. Niners Super Bowl Thread
 

I to thought the refs called one of the better game i have seen them call in some time. They even let a few punches fly without throwing a flag. I know I saw 4 or 5 times where they could have thrown a flag but they let the players play. Great game all around and my dad wo $1000 in his pool when the score went to 31/29. If the game would have ended at that score he would have won another 15 grand.

Jims pretty rough on his headset. I bet San Fran would like their first play of the game on offense back. Huge gain to Davis, but they had him covered up.

because the way the 49ers were running the ball at the end and ngata being out, it really came down to who had the ball last since really neither defense was stopping the other team in the end. I felt that the 49ers were getting momentum and their offense was clicking. If they got the ball to start the second half, they would have an extra possession hence, they most likely would have won.

ok I guess, but they had the chance to win and couldn't score in 4 attempts. I could see what you are saying more, if they scored the TD and Baltimore won off of a last second FG. But, they had the last effective possession, and as much time as they needed, meaning they could have run 4 times up the middle and still had enough time. I don't think possession at the start of the second half gets them in the endzone.

Re: Ravens v. Niners Super Bowl Thread
 

[quote=Lotus;992909]Funny. I could swear that Baltimore's defense stopped the Niners at the end.[/quote]

What I'm saying is that would have been the ravens with the ball instead of the 49ers and the 49ers would have had the ball with around 2 mins to go, like the ravens.

and when i say "neither really stopped the other" that isn't a definitive statement, obviously some stops were made, but it felt like when either team had the ball in the 2nd half, they were going to score be it a TD or a FG. And we can also question that non call in the endzone on crabtree as a ''stop''. I don't think it should have been called, but if that were the redskins on the 49ers end, I can't say I wouldn't be pissed. It reminded me of the ohio st miami national championship game, where they did call it.
