Still mad about my team beating your team in Atlanta?

But hey, everything you can put on this forum would be true cuz my team lost.[/quote]

Yep. It was revenge for me and Alex Smith.
Believe it or not, I have kept the faith for the 49er’s throughout the last 5 years. The dicking of Alex Smith had me write them off. From that point on I wanted them to lose. Sure Kaepernick may be more talented, but he’s not better. He’s not better than a guy who spent his years there hated, put in a failing system, then over come all of it, only to be totally dicked because he got a concussion. After that, I was in ‘fuck’em’ mode. You don’t treat people like that.

So fuck’em. They got Flacco’d, a real QB who’s been through the trenches.

Kaepernick wasn’t nervous. He should have been, little arrogant ass.[/quote]

So you want Kaepernick to be nervous like Matt Ryan in your past playoff games?
I know you’re mad at the coach, but it’s time to let it go. Alex Smith will soon be with another team trying to get them to the playoffs. I say, good luck. He deserves it.[/quote]

What?
No. Kaepernick says he wasn’t nervous about the game because he was prepared. He was wrong, he was not prepared. That’s the youth and inexperience talking. Vet’s know you’re never prepared enough and had to humility to admit they were nervous about the game because anything can and does happen.

And Matt Ryan out played Kap in that game, period. There were plenty of bad or no calls, which you did not see me bitch about. Like Bowman’s blatant pass interference on White. Not to mention several missed holding calls, another blatant missed pass interference on Jones, where his arms were actually held back, horrific ball spotting…On and on I could go.
Ultimately it was a weak dline requiring the secondary to play in more that cost us the game. Kap was regular in that game, just a manager did some good things, but not spectacular. But we’re not talking about that game.
If I had a choice between Ryan and Kaepernick to lead my team for the next 10 years I’ll take Ryan hands down. Kap is just a baby and we don’t know how he will be when his legs are no longer a factor in the game, which should be 5 years or less, which is average for that style of play. We also don’t know how he handle adversity, unless of course you think he will never have any which is not realistic. Couple of key injuries on that very good o-line and it’s a whole other ball game at the QB position. We know Smith can handle it, we know Ryan can handle it, we have no clue if Kaepernick can handle it.

If it were not for a very timely black out, the niners would have flat been embarrassed. The defense was worn down and had a chance to catch their breath and regroup. Flacco showed Kaepernick what a real QB looks like.

My bad, I thought you meant you think Kaperncik should be nervous for the Super Bowl.
I did say Baltimore would have rolled for more points if there wasn’t a blackout.
You sound like you really hate Kaepernick. It should be Harbaugh you should be mad at.

In case u haven’t read it already, Barnwell’s comprehensive recap is characteristically fantastic: » Super Bowl Redux

343

Did everyone that thinks the Niners should have gotten a call at the end of the game not see the free kick the officials gave Akers? I mean the refs did give the Niners 3 free points, come on!

Also someone said something like, a couple plays go a differnt way = differnt champ. I say, lights don’t go out the game isn’t even close. The Ravens had just sucked the life out of the Niners with that kick off TD. Niners get 45 mins to regroup and the Ravens offense is off the field for like an hour.

^^a kick off return that should have been called back.

I know the hold you’re talking about. Personally, I enjoyed that the refs let the players get away with some calls. Both sides were called fairly, in my objective opinion (because I’m a fan of neither team). I’m glad the 9ers came back and made it a game, even though the power outage helped them.

Let me guess, they slowed it down to 1/10 a second and you can see a “clear” hold right?

349

Are we talking about 51 (50 something, can’t see his number super clear) around the 28-35 yard lines?

350

I can think of so many no calls or bad calls against my team all year long. Guess what, it’s part of the game. No game is called perfectly.

Not sure the number but its in the middle of the field and its two Baltimore players sandwiching and practically tackling the SF coverage guy.

The best/most obvious angle was from behind the kickoff team, saw the replay on ESPN a few times this morning.

I actually responded to Gregrons response on my original post but I don’t know where it went.

The play didn’t need to be slowed down or even replayed for someone to see it. I was watching the game with 5 people…Three of us played ball on the collegiate level. 2 of us called it live, then when they replayed it all 3 went ballistic because it was a blatent no call.

In my other post that wasn’t picked up on here I mentioned the offsides on the 2 point conversion. That was also a blatent no call. They specifically have line judges on both sides of the sidelines for these plays. You’re only fucking job is to watch for an offsides or false start. That again was a blatent no call…IMO CBS didn’t show the side line shot because it would have raised to many questions as to wtf the refs were doing. And there was already controversy with the refs before the game was even played.

Also I should add I am neither a Niners fan or a Ravens fan…But in a game of that Magnitude those calls need to be made. And don’t give me this let them play bullshit this isn’t a hold on an interior lineman call…Its a game changing touchdown and a game tying 2 point conversion.

^^well said.

I am a 49ers fan but I pride myself in not being blinded by fandom.

If were talking about making calls then how about the refs absolutely blowing the hit mad out of bounds on flacco in the 4th quarter… It was 3rd and goal,Ravens up 5 points,4 yards from the endzone, flaco runs out of bounds and gets hammered clearly out of bounds!! The ravens should have gotten 4 more downs for that and would have scored a touchdown(just like crabtree right?) and would have gone up by 12 points game over.Thats was the biggest/easiest call to make in the game and the refs didn’t call it. Explain that?

357 
A championship team finds a away to get 5 yards into the endzone with 4 fucking downs!  A championship team finds a way to prevent a team to go into the endzone on 4 downs. 
                                                                /thread

Can someone find a gif or video of the penalty on Jacoby’s punt return TD? I don’t recall seeing any replay of it live.

359

^ Well listen I’m not saying that the Niners didnt fuck up when they could have stepped up in the game.

But I think you’re under estimating momentum. How it’s created and how easy it is to maintain it.

Edit: That was towards nomorewar

what are you talking about underestimating momentum? Believe me I don’t underestimate it. If not for the blackout niners get crushed. so yea its pretty important.
