Hey All,
As we all know, yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday, and boy was it one for the ages. The San Francisco 49ers took on the Baltimore Ravens, and both teams put on a good show.
The game got started a bit slow for San Francisco, and it may have took them out of the game early. The Ravens took full advantage of the 9ers misfortune, in the first half, and went up big.
San Francisco looked like they didn't know they were playing in the Super Bowl. They came out and were flat for the entire first half. They found themselves down 22 point before they know that the game had started.
At the end of the first half, the 9ers were down 21-6, and everyone thought that this game was over. But not me, I knew that San Francisco were not going to go down without a fight.
After all the halftime festivity's, it was time for some more football. The Baltimore Ravens took the electricity right out of the stadium, literally. After a record tying 108 yard kick return by Ravens return-man, Jones, they power went out in the Superdome.
Half the lights went out in the stadium, as well as the scoreboard. This caused a 34 min delay in the game, and couldn't have helped the 9ers more. During the delay, it gave Kaepernick time to collect himself, and get his mind back into the game. At this point in time, San Francisco was down 28-6, and it didn't look pretty for San Fran.

Once the game got back underway the 9ers had to punt the ball back to the Ravens, and were able to get them to go 3 and out. The next possession for San Fran was a good one, as they were able to drive down the field and put up a touchdown, making the score 34-13. After the kick the 9ers Defense was able to force RB Ray Rice to fumble, and get the ball back in great field position. They were able to capitalize with yet another touchdown on a run by Frank Gore making your score 28-20. San Francisco after forcing another 3 and out were able to put another score on the board off the leg of David Akers, with a 34 yard field goal. Now this was a little troubling, because he was roughed, which should have been a 15 yard penalty, but they only got the 5 yard verity (running into the kicker). If they would have got the roughing call, it would have gave them 4 more downs, and I think they would have put another touchdown on the board, but what are ya going to do.
The 4th quarter was the most exciting quarter of the game. Baltimore's rookie kicker Justin Tucker was able to put 3 more points on the board. San Francisco was able to put up some more points on a Kaepernick rush from 15 out, which was the longest rushing touchdown by a quarterback in Super Bowl history. The 9ers failed on the 2 point conversion, making the score 31-29. The 9ers weren't done yet, they were able to drive down the field and get back into scoring position, but on a couple of bad play calls the Ravens were able to get a goal-line stand, and win the game. The game finished on a Sam Koch intentional safety making the score 34-31 in favor of the Ravens. This would be the final score, and the Ravens are your Super Bowl Champions.
Now everyone is going to say that the last play ran by the 49ers on the goal-line should have been a penalty. Well guess what, it wasn't so get over it. There were a lot of missed calls, and if they would have made that call at the end of the game, then it just wouldn't have been right. The Refs were letting the receivers and corners battle a little bit more than usual, so that "no call" was the right call. Even if nobody agrees with it.
It was a great game, the Ravens were able to hold off the 49ers late in the game, and nobody can take that away from them. All in all I'm just glad it was a good game, and wasn't a blow out like it looked like it would be early. The 9ers will be a good team for a long time now. They have a great team, and a lot of talent on it. I'm interested in what they will do in the off-season, because everyone knows how Jim Harbaugh is. He will make moves that everyone will think is the wrong one, and somehow it seems to work. I think that the 49ers will make it back to the dance next year, and with a more experienced Collin Kaepernick under center, I think they will take it to win their 6th Super Bowl.
Until next time,
You keep doing what you do, and I'll keep you up to date with everything sports.
