The Niners really mailed in that first half, hope they are better in the second half, I can’t stomach RayRay getting a chance to do his dance with the trophy.  
…no such luck.

When the Niners won 55-10 those many years ago, I thought that was the most shameful performance I ever saw.

This has it beat.

Wow, just wow, Ray Lewis goes out on top. I despise that man, but his team is the better team tonight.

Fucking Jacoby. We trade him because he blew the playoff game against the Ravens last year and he’s been nothing but gold ever since.

And they beat Denver. So, if the Ravens wipe the floor with the Niners, does that mean the Broncos got revenge 25+ years later?

Say… has there ever been a 100+ yard return that _didn’t_ score a TD?

J.Jones is 49er kryptonite this postseason.

James Jones (GB): 4 catches, 87 yards, 1 TD  
Julio Jones (ATL): 11/182/2  
Jacoby Jones: we’ll see!

Looks like half the power is out in the Superdome. Probably on the 49ers side.
