No one started one of these? 😕 Anyway, 4 minutes left in the wild NFC championship game. Once again, the Falcons started fast, have not done much in the 2nd half, but are trying to win with a late drive. The 49ers fumbled at the goal line and just missed a FG, both of which will haunt them if they lose. ---

I really wish Harbaugh wasn’t such a drama queen, because I want to like the Miners. He makes it hard to like them. ---

The refs have let the DBs mug the WRs all game long, this one really hurt the Falcons. ---

> [@Gorsnak](#): > > Me too, but they got away with PI on that 4th down. 3 really bad calls I noticed in this game. The non-catch by Douglas. The missed defensive holding/PI on White and the bullshit roughing the passer call against the Falcons. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > the bullshit roughing the passer call against the Falcons. I think it was within the letter of the rule. And from the front, it was a pretty minor blow. The ref that called it was behind Kaepernick, though, and it probably looked harder from his perspective. ---

God, I hate Jim Harbaugh. Always have, always will. John Harbaugh is only a small step above Jim on my hate scale. But Belicheat tops them all. So, with three teams left, I have to say… Let’s go Ravens? Ugh. I jist threw up in my mouth. Fuck you, Atlanta, for choking again. Up 17-0 and can’t put it away. I just don’t get it, although Matt Ryans fumble after that missed field goal was bad. And that roughing the passer personal file was a joke. Oh well. The good news for me is that hockey has begun! ---

Well, here’s to the Niners tying my beloved Steelers. God, I feel sick for saying that, but the alternative will actually make me puke. ---

They are not the greatest fans but I do feel bad for Atlanta, especially Gonzales. ---
