Be funny to see him as a Bengal, lol. We need a safety. Could use Paul Krueger too, if Michael Johnson leaves. Wouldn’t that stick in Baltimore’s crawl.

If the Cowboys could somehow afford him signing Reed would be a no brainer.A leader on defense no doubt-something the Cowboys lack on both sides of the ball.

Yes but did anybody see the look on Alex Smith’s face at the end of the game? Was he smiling, did his shoes look new?

“Why were you smiling after losing the Super Bowl Alex?”

“New shoes.”

Ravens, the only relevant team. Congrats Ed Reed, you deserve it.

After his emotions fade, and reality sets in, I think two things will happen. The Ravens will allow Ed Reed to walk, and he may or may not be signed by another team for minimal money.

But I’ve got my money on this being Ed Reed’s last game in the NFL.

Ed Reed is a great player, but …

Did anyone see Reed backing off on making a play on the ball carrier multiple times? It was like he was afraid to make the effort to tackle and prevent a touchdown — the classic definition of making “business decisions.”

It happened on a number of plays, but two of them allowed crucial touchdowns for the ’49′ers. Check out what number 20 does on the Crabtree touchdown catch and carry. Watch him once again fly to the ball on the Kaepernick touchdown run only to back off when he could have made a stop or took a shot at forcing a fumble. Why even run to the ball if you’re going to punk out when you arrive?

Reed was also useless on the Gore touchdown too (getting pancaked in the open field by one player), but that’s another matter.

You hear Reed on TV, and he’s likeable – but his game has been overrated for years now.

Troy Polamalu does not make “business decisions.” He makes football decisions. Bernard Pollard, Donte Whitner and Kam Chancellor are football players who make football decisions.

Business decisons are for guys like Ed Reed, Deion Sanders and Leon Sandcastle.

It’s very disappointing to see an NFL Safety shy away from contact on so many key plays in a tightly contest Super Bowl.

Ed Reed can do what he wants, when he wants, where he wants.

With all the press over Ray Lewis, congratulations to Ed Reed for getting his long deserved Super Bowl ring.

He’s had a great career, and it looks to me like he can still play. Heck, he’s got Paul Krause’s all-time INT record within his reach.

That said, Ed Reed was offsides on that 49er two-point conversion, and the refs missed it. That was the pivotal play of the game.
