Well the lights are out so I thought I would start a SB thread. Penalties & turnovers have doomed the Niners so far & the 3rd quarter kick off return was a killer. If Ravens go onto win I would be happy for Oher. However I know he is not playing lights out but I like Kaepernick more & more & he will have some rings during his tenure. I think he is the next QB to get that elite status.

I'm sure that's what Dan thought.

Looks like momentum is swinging.....

Turned out to be a pretty good game. Kaepernick I think is obviously the real deal & other than Tannehill of course , there is no other QB I would want. Not even Flacco who I think is a free agent & would love to play in Miami (my words not his but c'mon , who wouldn't want to play in Miami over Baltimore)

SF lost the game in the red zone 2 FGs. Baltimore TDs in the red zone. We have found out before how FGs instead of TDs will lose you a game.

Getting rid of Cameron was the key to the Ravens victory.

Flacco is an elite QB. Haters keep on hating. He threw 11 TD's in the post season and no picks. There hasn't been a Miami QB since Marino even close to Flacco's abilities. Strong, physical QB with an accurate arm and poise in the pocket. He makes big plays consistently.

Kaepernick has tons of athletic ability, but next year the teams will have studied all the film. The Seahawks and Rams can handle him already. His defense helped him mightily tonight, but it was not enough.

1984 was so long ago...Will there ever be another rainbow?

has to be the strangest Super Bowl i've ever watched

It's funny to watch two brothers who are complete opposites...Jim is a nutcase and when a call doesn't go his way, he swings and sways his arms like a baby throwing a temper tantrum...while John is Mr. Cool lol. I'm glad Baltimore won.

Agreed , the power outage really killed the Ravens momentum. Had that been a team like the Patriots who were behind when that happened all the conspiracy stuff would be all over the place. The Niners defense let them down in the first half , prayers that Flacco threw on 3rd down were completed , when they had a play stopped for a loss on third down they seemed to let the runner get away for a first down & of course penalties. After the power outage , the power seemed to all go to the Niners & had they won there would those who would say the victory was tainted.
Still , I think we saw two QB's who will be talked about being the best of the best for some years to come.
Getting rid of Cameron at the time I thought he was a scapegoat but clearly the play calling much more suits Flacco now & the change at QB for the Niners was the right call as well. Two bold moves that paid off that will make these teams better for the years to come.

Cameron was a HC here and deserved what he got. He wasn't a good HC. In fact he was awful.
That's not saying anything about him as an OC. Nor is it saying what he might do as a HC if he gets another opportunity in the future.

Just goes to show, people have been writing Flacco off for a couple of years now but the main reason the Ravens won the Superbowl is continuity. They found a coach and a QB and stuck with them.

They cheated....The conspiracy is that the league gave them a slap on the wrist..

Pete Rose Sean Payton....did less and got more punishment.

The Patriots were beating teams with more talent...Now they lose to teams with less talent

Meant when Baltimore got rid of him , not us.
