Super Bowl XLVII Game Day thread

The Madden Simulation had the Ravens winning with a game winning field goal in the final two minutes.

It's getting close here.
 
BAL got away with one there. Yea it would suck that the game was probably decided by a penalty, but it was pretty obvious. You gotta call that
 
So according to Phil, after a certain time the game is a free for all. No penalties should be called, even ones that stop a team from having a shot at winning
 
Glad Ed Reed finally gets a ring. He is one of the best DBs to ever play the game.

Pissed JJ gets one though. :foottap:

Ya me too, but he somehow found himself on a team with a much better QB and coach.
You know what pisses me off even more.....the fact our Texans were just as good or even better than these Ravens who just won this SB.
No reason that shouldn't have been the Texans celebrating a SB championship, well I can think of two.
 
Glad Baltimore won. Like their grit. Not to be a conspiracy theorist but I thought the power outage had a David Stern type bs factor to it. So I'm glad they put it behind them.

No doubt.

But there were times both of these guys were doubted too.

It was a great game though, which is all I care about.

Yes sir it was a great game. Glad San Fran was able to make a game of it. This game definitely ranks as one of the best.
 
That sucks.... wanted the 49'ers to win.Good game, except when Jacoby ran back that KO. It burned me the hell up! :pissed:

I just can't bring myself to forgive him. :cutthroat:
 
Alright everyone. I hate the offseason, so you won't be seeing me posting much. Not until the draft at least, or if something big happens. I'll be lurking though. See y'all soon. Go Texans.

Those doubts haven't been as long as Texans fans have doubted Kubs, most definitely Schaub.
Both John Harbaugh and Flacco started in 08.
Kubiak became the head coach in 2006. Schaub became the starter in 07.
With the way this season ended on such a monumental slide backwards, I have no real optimism for next season, especially when we talk about Schaub.
With Harbaugh and Flacco how could you NOT feel good about your team.
 
Well hell. I thought I was signing off but I guess not yet.

***********

Nice to see Dan Marino finding time to do the postgame, what, with all the women out there he hasn't banged yet. :D
 
Harbaugh/Roman had some horrible playcalling in the red zone for kap...rolling the pocket and effectively shuting 1 side of the field down that he cant throw to? No screen plays in obvious blitzing situations?

When you have a running qb like kap, you give him as many options as possible...if the play breaks down he should be fine and athletic enough to escape...rolling the pocket largely takes that option away from him...

Count me as someone who thought the roll outs were mega stupid. Over and over again.

I guess Gary isn't the only coach who worships a failing idea, thinking it'll work....it'll work...we practiced it over and over.....it's got to work! Oh ****, it never worked. #LookedFamiliarToMe

The 9ers looked best when they were in the pistol or had 5-wide....either way, it made the Ravens respect the 9ers' options on the field. When the play call was a standard formation, it seemed the Ravens had the answer every time.

I think the calls went the Ravens' way a lot. On the 9ers 2-pt conversion play, it looked like Ravens crosses the LOS early. The refs also had a full extra yard in a crucial play that the 9ers challenged and easily won the reversal. Last play on 4th down, Crabtree was held....but a veteran WR would have stopped pursuing the ball and drawn attention to the holding more than Crab did.

I'm stunned Jacoby Jones made two TDs the way he did. That was the biggest game on the largest stage, and he did a figurative Bud Adams double rods hand gesture to Kubiak and Marciano there. He just won a damn Super Bowl. As did Pollard. As did Leach. Three guys who, though by different circumstances, left the Texans and got a ring.

I'm pretty conflicted right now. I'm glad in a way, I'm pissed off in a way. Through everything, the Is Flacco Elite or Not? saga built up in the media...the loss of Suggs and loss of Lewis, then barely getting them back in time to win a SB, to the blowout win we had over them, and then they were a wild card team and blew through the Broncos AND the Patriots.

We don't have that type of resiliency on our team. JJ Watt has inherited the job from AJ of being an other worldly athlete stuck on a Houston football team. We need a helluva draft, and no injuries, and an OL and sketchy WR corps (and struggling defensive identity) to get their **** sorted out next season in order to have a chance at a ring.

Then there's Gary on the sideline to contend with.
 
The game was ok. This was a pr nightmare and embarrassment for the stadium and the city but oh well.... They recovered and the game finished strong. Btw these were some really weak commercials. And eff jacoby and good riddance to ray lewis and his b.s. facade. Go away.

How is this completely on Kubiak? This city wanted JJ gone so bad after last year's playoff game against the Ravens, and it's not like Kubiak did not give him so many chances.
