Also on the fourth down play, Jonathan Goodwin clearly holds I think Tyson of all people.

My mistake; in terms of all the controversy with bad/no calls in the Superbowl, the huge play which I emphasized was the no-call on Torrey Smith when he pushed off on Chris Culliver. It 31-29 Ravens, 3rd and 9 with ball on their own 22 yd line; Flacco missed Smith after Smith shoved Culliver, who subsequently grabbed Smith’s jersey as the momentum from the push-off flung him backwards. The refs called pass interference on Culliver, hence Raven 1st down, now on their own 36. That was just instrumental!

I thought the incontrovertible hit out of bounds on Flacco by Isaac Sopoaga in the 4th quarter occurred later on the same drive, affecting my attitude ‘they should have been down there in first place’. I was wrong, forgive me - it happened earlier with 12:58 left in the 4th quarter, and there’s absolutely no question Flacco got hit out of bounds and it should have been Raven ball with a fresh set of downs inside the 2 yd line. Thus just reflects how horrible the refs were this day on a couple blatant plays which should have been called – notably the clear bear hug on Bruce Miller by both Brendan Ayanbadejo (no. 51) and Albert McClellan (no. 50). McClellan let go, but Ayanbadejo bear hugged Miller continuously for some 10yds; I'll never tire of reiterating how Miller was right in Jacoby Jones’ path when Jones shot up the middle for the opening 2nd half TD - at the least, Jones' path was taken away. My attitude when I benefit from that is a slumoed head saying, "yeah, we got away with one there, but we'll take it". I never have thrown out smoke screens over the January of 1999 Jerry Rice fumble against Green Bay; he definitely fumbled at the closing stages of the game, with the Packers up 27-23. Should have been Packer ball, and Brett Favre would have just taken a knee. Game over, the Packers move on in the playoffs.


As Niner fan, I carry sour grapes, indeed (personally and with bias), but as we approach the upcoming season, that has lessened; they’re far from the favorites (yet the 49ers, Broncos and Patriots are, it seems; yes, you beat them all, but haven’t you ever considered they were upsets, even mild ones? We’ll see what happens this year). As with the Broncos, when you’re up by 7 in the 4th quarter, and your opponent is inside their own 30 with some 30 seconds left in the game, they should not have lost that game. I’m sure they are out for retribution this Sept. 5th! Are you guys really - honestly - confident that you shouldn’t be underdogs in that season opener? It is peculair they have to open on the road as SB champs, whatever the scheduling reason, one would think whatever the conflict, that could be reshuffled.


Good luck. James :)

Just to clarify: on kickoffs what Ayanbadejo and McClellan did is legal as long as the person being blocked stays on his feet.

Please don't make your font so big. No hard feelings but I won't read something like this.

Fixed that for you. Not well, but smaller at least.

Is there any wonder why they're called "forty-whiners"?

Thank you very very much. It's a pain to read that on mobile.

Torrey Smith got bear hugged himself in the first quarter right at the goal line, and that wasn't called.  That led directly to a punt rather than first and goal on the one for the Ravens.  The refs made a completely soft roughing the QB call on the Ravens on one of the Niners scoring drives.  They also called running into the kicker when (sh)A(n)kers badly missed a crucial FG, and he was given another chance even though he wasn't even touched.  You already mentioned the missed personal foul on Flacco near the endzone that forced a FG instead of a TD, or at least a FG with far fewer seconds left for the Niners to come back.

 

Bottom line is this was an extremely poor game for the referees.  You can complain all you want, but the truth is that it could have easily been a blowout had some of those plays been called correctly, which would have made any bad call late negatively affecting your team virtually meaningless.

Are some of the worst I have ever seen.... They complain even more than us. They were talking about SF blowout and the almighty Kap. Well, we beat them, and all you here is this. They know btw it wasn't a hold


Flacco is a choke artist
Worst team to ever win a SB
Flacco and his puny arm threw lobs to Boldin all game. QB is overrated, and Boldin = MVP
Flacco had one of the worst games ever for a QB in the SB
Ray Lewis isn't a HOF. Willis is, but Rays career is ruined.
If anything, this game showed Kap was elite
That D isn't good enough to win another...



You think you all have it bad? I live here

haha

 

I don't mean this to be mean or condescending, but do you know when your parents said to you "you will understand when your a parent" and you would hate that. but now that im a dad I understand all the things they were saying lol

 

this reminds me of that because all these things were said about the 2008 steelers....a lot of them by ravens fans, and I would say all the things you guys are saying now

 

welcome to the champions club....where teams hate you for no reason....and claim you aren't really that good lol
