I was close to going to bed. So glad I stayed up. Would love to see the Ravens choke this away. ---

So now my bafflement over the failure to go for 2 is simply more relevant. ETA: Er, I messed up my math. ---

Bad hold on the first try, but this game is all about second chances. Second chances and making mistakes like fumbles, interceptions, and bad special teams. ---

I really don’t think Akers was ever hit. Rewinding and slo mo and he just dives. Good acting. ---

Been loving the Niners for 24 years. They have always been a second half team. ---

Niners defense comes up big. Which team can overcome their own earlier incompetence. ---

They used to say that Superbowl was never exciting, but as you say, most Superbowls recently has been very exciting indeed – just like this one… :eek: ---

Next time I have a date, I’m gonna ask the waiter to turn the power off about thirty minutes in. Maybe I’ll be able to turn things around. ---

Culliver with another mistake. Nice. ---

I have to say Boldin is fucking amazing. I saw like 8 catches like that against the Browns earlier this year. ---

Boldin has been awesome, potential MVP. ---

And we are back to the Niners killing themselves. While the score is close, this isn’t a well played game. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > I love how you “kept quiet” until the Ravens were up by 22. Funny how that works. 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. ---

If Boldin had tried this hard instead of pouting like a baby, the Cardinals would have won the Super Bowl. ---
