Nice TD for Davis. Man is he quick. Stupid penalty though. ---

Under review, may had step out of bounds before scoring… [Pulls string] \*The Zebra says: \* Touchdown! Wooo Hooo! ---

They HAD the Super Bowl two plays before that. Then incomplete, so a simple FG, right? Yeah. Even if they tied, it would’ve been an ugly win for either team. ---

If a Harbaugh was to win I wanted him to be my Harbaugh. I’ve always been a fan of Flacco and doubly so since he went to my backup school, but he had a great game and was the better qb…if only he was the winning one. I’ll root for Vernon Davis to keep the great Terp hope alive. ---

Nice first half for Cruz. 8 for 125. ---

Nice Niners Touchdown. 49s 14, Giants 10. Still a lot to go. ---

I hate to tell professionals how to do their jobs, but the Giants should maybe think about covering Vernon Davis. ---

That was a scary crash between Brown and Goldson. ---

Great games today. I love football. ---

Yikes, that was scary. Glad everyone is OK. On another note, I really want the Giants to win this, but if they do have to lose, I think I’d rather it be to this 49ers team than to just about anyone else. This is a good team. ---

Now seeing him get up, even with assistance, did feel better than a touchdown. Here is hopping he is not seriously hurt. End of the third quarter. ---

Stupid penalty by Canty there. Can’t do that shit in a game like this. ---

That ball hit Williams in the knee. This should be a touchdown for the Giants. ---

They can’t score a TD on this play, apparently, but they should get the ball at around the San Francisco 29. ---

That was Jacoby Jones stupid. Potentially game changingly stupid. ---

As a Packer fan its weird for me to realize that some teams have defensive players who are actually able to tackle their opponents. ---
