> [@Hamlet](#): > > And we are back to the Niners killing themselves. While the score is close, this isn’t a well played game. They have the ball in the end needing a touchdown. Given that 90 minutes ago they were dead and buried I’d say that they’re thrilled to be in this position. And the Ratbirds aren’t exactly stopping them. I’m cautiously optimistic. Kaepernick will get a few looks, even if he has to run it a few times. ---

We’re coming down to the wire. Here’s hoping God is preparing a huge fuck-you to Ray Lewis. 😉 ---

Now the Ravens defense gets really put to the test and they’re not looking too damn good. ---

Clutch time. Kaepernick is going to run. ---

This game is now 5 hours old. For a player of Ray Lewis’ age, that’s gotta be murder on him. ---

Gore won me my my fantasy league, lets see if he can get this TD and make it the year of Gore. ---

> [@piepiepie](#): > > Actually I’ve kept quiet the past two weeks since they made the Super Bowl. I don’t really care since I don’t know you people, but there aren’t too many Ravens fans on here and I barely post as it is. One can be a Ravens fan and despise Ray Lewis. ---

Graham interfered with Crabtree on that play. ---

Cant’ wait for the conspiracy theories … “The Niners “arranged” the power outage after the opening second half touchdown, in order to throw the Ravens off their game.” ---

A fade is fucking awful there. You know they’re not going to call interference in that situation. Edit: On replay, I guess the protection collapsed too fast. ---

Horrible play call, just horrible. Why coaches love the fade is beyond me. ---

How do they not call that mugging with the entire season on the line after some of the cheesy PI calls they had in this game? They gave Murderin’ Ray a fucking ring. It’s nauseating. ---
