Superbowl XLVII - Ravens 34 - Niners 31 FINAL

And that's it - the Ravens hold 'em in the Red Zone, QBK can't pull off the magical come back and the Baltimore Ravens are the Superbowl Champions for the 2nd time.  Ray Lewis goes out with a ring.

Flacco is my MVP - 22-33 274 Yards, 3 TDs, 0 Ints.

The Niners finally lose a Superbowl.  I'm not disappointed, I really didn't care who won, I just wanted a good and interesting game, and that definitely happened.

Of course the Ravens make it interesting with taking the Safety for the free kick running more time off the clock.  Not a bad call though.  Don't even give the Niners enough time for a hail mary.

Samsung - Paul Rudd & Seth Rogan.  Yeah.  Sure.  Too Long.

Network Promo - That show with Ben Linus from Lost.  Not my thing.

Back to the game.  Final thoughts coming up.

Superbowl XLVII - Ravens 34 - Niners 29 2:00 4th

The Niners have never led per Jim Nantz, which is a rarity for them in a Superbowl.  Now they have about 4 minutes to a championship.  Do they have it or will Ray Lewis and the Ravens go out on top.

Frank Gore picks up 7 on first down, willing his way to a couple of extra yards.  QBK scrambles for the first down, stopping the clock at 3:40 on their own 36.

Vernon Davis has the ball go off his fingers, he had six and he knew it.

QBK comes right back with a 24 yard pass and catch.  He's over 300 yards now.

Gore with a long run down to the 7.  The Niners could get in before the 2 minute warning.  Which would probably be a mistake giving Flacco too much time to come back.

1st and Goal 2:39 remaining.
2nd and Goal from the 5.

Two Minute Warning

Tide - Miracle Stain - very cute.  Not earth shattering though.

Soda Stream - But how does it taste?

Network Promo -

And at this point in the game I can't imagine that there will be any other good commercials.


Mercedes Benz - Willem Dafoe channeling his inner Pacino.  Whatever.

Network Promo - Hawaii 5-0.  Used to watch it, got bored when the Governor who used to be a designing woman turned out  to be a horrible  person.

Network Promo - The Job - Watered down version of The Apprentice?


Superbowl XLVII - Ravens 34 Niners 29 4:19 4th

The Ravens seem like they're doing everything they can to run the clock down and finish this game, and the Niners are doing everything they can to thwart that effort.  Including challenging the spot of the ball on a possible 1st down.  Which they win.  Crazy.

Boldin makes a great play on 3rd down though to get another set of downs.  Running more and more time off the clock.  1st and 10 at the Niner 40.

Rice gets a 1st on 1st running for about 12.

Later on 3rd and 7 the Niners jump two players, and Harbaugh throws a fit on the sideline.  Giving the Raven 3rd and 2 with 4:28 to play.

Incomplete on 3rd down though.  So we'll get a 37 yard FG attempt.  Tucker drives it through and the Niners MUST score a TD to win this game.

Kia - Babylandia - dorky

PSA Wounded Warriors - We should do more as a country for our fighting soldiers.

NFLEvolution - Again what is it?


Superbowl XLVII - Ravens 31 Niners 29 10:04 4th

MvP Balloting is available.  I dunno if I'm going to do it quite yet.  At this point it's going to go to whomever is the winning QB.

Which right now looks to be QBK.  Who's got the Niners inside the 20 with 11 minutes still to go in the 4th.

And scores the TD by himself.
