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