Official Super Bowl XLVII Thread: McNabb and I Are Rooting for a Tie

[pbmax]

Root for the Ravens? Why?

Root for Jim Harbaugh? Never.

Let's hope for a tie and for Bud Selig to call it a night.

But more likely, San Fran 27, Ravens 24

[pbmax]

**crickets**

Must be only person to have stayed home for game :)

[Guiness]

I've got my prop bet in, and I think I got pretty good odds - 1.75:1 that CK does not finish the game due to injury. Pays double it it's not a Ravens starting LB (Lewis, Suggs, Krugger, Ellerbe (?)).

I think Baltimore's defense is going to break him in half. Too bad Siragusa is retired.

[Guiness]

omg! I just my first bet! Will Alicia Keys add a new word to the National anthem at +200! I'm sure that bit she added at the end counts!

[denverYooper]

I'm home too. Just been running around with the kids all day.

[pbmax]

Loved the kids, could have done without Jennifer Hudson. Alicia Keys was great.

It's going to be like on the old Nintendo Ice Hockey game, where the little dudes are a lot faster than the big fatties, but if the fatties can corner the little guys they flatten them.

[denverYooper]

The crowd in for the game just feels so sterile.

[pbmax]

Wonder who decides if words added after the end of the song count in the bet? :D

[pbmax]

The crowd in for the game just feels so sterile.

On the street, it was reported all week Ravens over 49er fans 10 to 1 by jersey. First reports from writers at stadium (and the Jonathan Ogden reaction) say its definitely a Raven crowd.

Poor Dave Robinson was after Ogden in that HoF lineup. Poor plan.

[Guiness]

Wonder who decides if words added after the end of the song count in the bet? :D


Book manager's decision is final. repeating a word does not count, must be a new word added in.

*shrug*

[pbmax]

Play action out of pistol on first play.

[pbmax]

Whoops. Gore went wrong way.

[denverYooper]

Is it just me, or does the Niners RG keep false starting?

[Guiness]

Back to the first play, illegal formation call. Something to do with the WR? What was wrong, did he need to be on the LOS?

[Joemailman]

49ers 24
Ravens 23

I like 49ers uniforms better.

[pbmax]

Flacco on fire early.

[Deputy Nutz]

49ers will lose their first Super Bowl, and Ray Lewis will be crying the entire game

[pbmax]

Is it just me, or does the Niners RG keep false starting?

Cool. Something to watch.

[Deputy Nutz]

That Bud Black chick gives me a woodie

[pbmax]

Back to the first play, illegal formation call. Something to do with the WR? What was wrong, did he need to be on the LOS?

To have two receivers eligible on one side of the field (or three for that matter), one of the receivers needs to be off the LOS by a yard. If you on on the LOS, then its called covering up the player inside of you.

It helps the D identify who is eligible for a pass.

[Deputy Nutz]

I am cheerinG fOr the commercials

[Deputy Nutz]

Go Team Walter!

[Deputy Nutz]

That goat is a bad mother fucker

[Deputy Nutz]

Kapernick just called Ray Lewis a fuck face

I must have missed that one.

Davis almost with a drop but Reed couldn't shake it loose

[Deputy Nutz]

I really liked Ray Lewis up until the playoffs started. I am sick of his self promoting, and his hypocrisy.

[pbmax]

Reed got a bad throw out of attacking CK. Barely.

[Deputy Nutz]

I must have missed that one.

Davis almost with a drop but Reed couldn't shake it loose

The goat that got pissed off because his owner rainout of Doritos.

[pbmax]

Finger in facemask. 49ers fan will be sure to create a tumblr about that.

[Joemailman]

Still waiting for Ray Lewis to make a play.

You will probably see it again.

Davis getting worked on now - Reed hit him like a truck.

Oops, Reed heading to the locker room. They might both be out after that collision.

Lots of car commercials.

[Deputy Nutz]

I like the rav 4

[denverYooper]

Suggs showing why the option might not be the end-all-be-all for offense.

[denverYooper]

I like the rav 4

My wife's got one. It's been a great car.

And right on cue, my wife came down during the Calvin Klein commercial and sarcastically said, "it's like looking at my husband".

Packers could have taken Upshaw with their first round pick.

[pbmax]

Aikman might get distracted by non-sense but Phil Simms is just unable to follow the game at live speed. CBS broadcast is really uneven early,

Interesting - if this is the case, I guess they hope he doesn't get called! I noticed the Ravens moving what seemed almost as the ball was being snapped. Another time a blitzing LB definitely took off before the snap.

[Bretsky]

Packers could have taken Upshaw with their first round pick.


Why he dropped that far was a mystery to many; my guess is he was the Packers back up choice there

[pbmax]

Stevie Wonder is a voodoo priest?

[Joemailman]

Pitta is very underrated.

[pbmax]

Raven 29 just ran into a ref and my first reaction is that it was deliberate. But it was the eighth thing to happen in that scrum

[pbmax]

Randy Moss gave up on catching that throw

[Guiness]

SF needs more plays on offense! If they keep turning the ball over this quickly, CK is never going to get drilled the way I need him to to win my bet!

[denverYooper]

The Ravens are just mugging the 9ers all over right now.

[Bretsky]

Pitta is very underrated.

I completely agree !!!

I snatched him up off the waiver wire in our big money NY Fantasy Football League so I watched many of his games and watched him closely

He's one of the top TE's in the NFL.

While Finley has more talent, I'd do that trade even up right now

[Bretsky]

Pierece is really good; he'd look good as our starter

[pbmax]

Sometimes Boldin's mind disengages from his body and the game. When engaged, he is tough to stop.

[pbmax]

If he had cut hard behind his blocker, it was there. Didn't need to jump. Of course, he is a kicker for a reason.

[pbmax]

RT @PFF: Only Anquan Boldin's third drop of the entire season

Did you pick up the 99 cent kindle copy of Chris's book?

[pbmax]

Let me point out that the Ravens D, which has been mauled all year and whose most effective lineman might be Kruger is having no problem matching up with the 49ers O. Their toughness versus the run has been a problem all year long. It does help to get Suggs and Lewis back, but I am not sure the problem is toughness or lineman exclusively.

There is no excuse for the D performance in the playoff game.

[Guiness]

I don't know if the SF RG is bobbing his head, but he looks back at CK during the snap count, then back forward just before the snap...then the center bobs his head just before snapping it. I think they're definitely giving some information away.

[pbmax]

Did you pick up the 99 cent kindle copy of Chris's book?

Nope. Probably should. His stuff on Twitter is 1000% better than Simms on the tube during the game.

[denverYooper]

Lee outkicked his coverage a bit there but good job by Jones to not panic on the muff.

[pbmax]

I don't know if the SF RG is bobbing his head, but he looks back at CK during the snap count, then back forward just before the snap...then the center bobs his head just before snapping it. I think they're definitely giving some information away.

its part of the silent count. Guard reads the QB while center watches defense. He then turns his head back around and yells at the center to start the count and look for the QB to signal for the snap.

[pbmax]

Ravens missing a chance here. Go up three scores and it really puts teh 49ers in a pickle.

[Guiness]

Flacco looking for a call - but it should have gone against the receiver. Announcers conquered.

[denverYooper]

Nope. Probably should. His stuff on Twitter is 1000% better than Simms on the tube during the game.

I think its on sale until tomorrow.

[denverYooper]

Flacco looking for a call - but it should have gone against the receiver. Announcers conquered.

With how handsy the 9ers DBs get, they have a harder time drawing calls IMO.

[pbmax]

Wow. Its like watching the Packers offense from 2011 tonight.

[Guiness]

its part of the silent count. Guard reads the QB while center watches defense. He then turns his head back around and yells at the center to start the count and look for the QB to signal for the snap.

Seem pretty predictable - the amount of time between the RG facing forward and the ball being snapped is consistent?

[denverYooper]

The Niners D has been vulnerable deep all through the playoffs and the Ravens have been hitting the long ball.

[pbmax]

Ben Muth ‏@FO_wordofmuth
Chris Culliver ain't touching no man laying on the ground. He ain't no queer.

[denverYooper]

After about 12 games next year, it will be declared that 2 deep safeties are the Ravens kryptonite.

Of course, it helps that they have Ray Rice.

[denverYooper]

That one was for Guinness.

[pbmax]

That wasn't two steps Phil you idiot.

Bad decision by first year starter. Should have throw away.

[denverYooper]

Where was the special throw there?

[Guiness]

LOL at the announcers claiming Kaepernick makes "special throws"

He does make some very good throws. We saw that with some of his completions to Crabtree in the game vs the Pack. Some of his mid-distance throws are very flat.

In other news, 'Coach Jim' is a douche.

They didn't react much faster. Half hour + to get the lights back on. Buzz is that the incoming feed to the stadium went down. My job is actually to manage/prevent black outs. If this location is supposed to be 'high availability' they just failed incredibly miserably. We design systems to shed load and drop offline before they trip and come back online in a minute on the outside. Maybe field lighting is low priority? I guess it would be.

I have no doubt in my mind at all that had that been the Packers and not the Ravens, PI would have been called defending Crabtree.

[Joemailman]

I believe point spread was 4. Between that and squares, how much money changed hands on the safety?

[pbmax]

Also, an old intentionally illegal play on the punt safety. Baltimore was holding everywhere in the end zone. If its called, its a safety. If its not, you can keep the clock winding with the punter alive.

Donovan and I nearly got out tie.

Couple of dumb fucks in the booth applauding the Hairball time out for confused Kaepernick, but then didn't acknowledge how that extra time out would have actually given them a reasonable final drive.

Its happened previously to them. They make at least one check per play out of the pistol. If Ravens move personnel, its more than one check. And he isn't as fast as Manning at it.

[RashanGary]

Congrats to the Ravens and Flacco. He's underrated by a lot of people, just ask him. No, seriously though, he's a really good player. He's one of about 10 guys you like your chances to win a SB with. Gotta hope Kaepernick doesn't have great teams behind him. He's on his way to being an elite QB.
