The 49ers coordinators were on the field during the blackout making adjustments. The Ravens coordinators were in the booth cut off from the players. Tell me that did not give the 49ers an unfair advantage.

To Frank Gore – wah…..

The power outage didn’t allow them to dominate the second half, the power outage did however allow the 49ers to create secondary adjustments to their half-time adjustments (that didn’t work) for around approximately 35 minutes. It also allowed them a second break in playing for about 35 minutes, the first break (halftime) resulting in nothing more than the Ravens going right back to shoving the ball down their throats, giving them some extra time to reorganize. About 35 minutes worth of time.

You idiots need to just stop with the whole “power outtage STOLE the Ravens momentum” and that the Niners were “lucky to be in this one, thanks to the power outtage”.

The power outtage did not allow the Niners to dominate the 2nd half and score 17 points in under 5 minutes. The power outtage is not a physical entity that can “steal” anything. The Niners created those plays and scored those points and would have with or without the stoppage in play.

And now you freakin’ morons, continue on with your idiocy.

Hey Frank, in football, 31 isn’t better than 34.

I also find it interesting that the Ravens are a fantastic team until there’s a blackout – everyone knows that Ravens don’t know how to play defense after there’s a blackout! Duh!

Possibly the single worst argument I’ve heard in my life for THE biggest melt down in Superbowl history.

For people who know nothing about football: 49ers adjusted in the second half.

How is Gore whining? He is simply stating the fact that the Niners are the better team. If you haters want to disregard that – tell me how you’d feel if the clock had a few more minutes or if they played a series of 5 games. Gore and the rest of us know that it’s a 60 minute game – and sometimes inferior teams win – he didn’t need to state it because we all know the truth anyway.

Count me in as one who’s not buying into the whole idea that the power outage aided the Niners. Making defensive adjustments aided the Niners. And a toned down aggressiveness on the part of the Ravens offense aided the Niners as well. But the power outage? I don’t think so.

It’s obvious to anyone that exists in reality, the game is played once and the 49ers lost.

9ers whining about missed calls? You mean like a DL Holding OLs so the LB can rush OB? That must have been some other 49er team from SF. No way it could have been these paragons of self righteous outrage.

Strange how a certain LBs sacks went down when the DL injured the arm he used to hold OLs. Coincidence, I’m sure.

I love all the comments of the power outage being the reason the 49ers came back

I don’t understand why everyone is saying the the power outage aided the 49ers and halted the Ravens momentum. It allowed the 49ers to regroup and adjust? How so? They were facing 3rd and 13, failed to convert and punted the ball. How did that help them? Then the Ravens offense and Niners defense come on the field for the first time. They haven’t seen each other for 84 minutes. If anything, the Niners defense made adjustments during halftime, but they won’t be credited for it because everyone is siding with the power outage.

It would be different if the Ravens were driving down the field, the power went out, and the Niners had time to regroup. But instead, they got a quick return TD, AND they’re getting the ball back. Ravens didn’t need any adjustments, they were up by 22. The Niners D had to make adjustments though, but unfortunately it’ll be overshadow by the power outage that halted the Raven’s “momentum”.

It is obvious to anyone that knows football.
If that game were to be played ten times, the forty niners
would win seven, maybe eight.

“We showed we were the better team.”

I beg to differ. Until the “blackout” it was obvious the Ravens were going stomp the Niners. It was also very obvious the better team was the Ravens.

I didn’t realize a player, fans, and city could whine as much as their coach does. The 4whiners need to get over it. You didn’t play good enough to win. Although you did play well enough to make it interesting. Ratings were great!!!

Better to not make any excuses and give credit to the other team. Not always easy after a heartbreaking loss. You just have to be the better team for 60 minutes and the 49ers were not yesterday. When you line up wrong on the very first play of the game after two weeks of preparing you really can only look in the mirror.
Harbaugh has some growing to do, I hope he does. Kaepernick is going to be a force for a while. Congrats Ravens fans. Not easy to say.

Try finishing your run instead of stepping out of bounds at the seven yardline, Frank. Didn’ think Gore was a typical “Da U.” Guy but these comments are making me think twice.

Seems to me that the Ravens manhandled the 49ers virtually at will. Were the 49ers ever ahead in this game?

I also saw a blatant hold from the Niners O-line on the same drive. Every game there are plays where the refs won’t throw the flag, but they were very consistent. Get over yourself Frank.

The Niners got away with the missed FG on a running into the kicker when he wasn’t even touched.

Hey Frank,playing TWO QUARTERS of good ball doesn’t make you THE BETTER TEAM! Try showing up in the first half.

The Vikes, Giants, Seahawks and Rams all got away with one, to let 49ers fans tell it (if you get my drift).

These guys never just lose games; it’s always because they beat themselves, didn’t understand the magnitude of the moment, or the refs did them in.

Yet the only reason they got one third of their yardage is the blatant holding (even tackling, by their offensive linemen) that they got away with it.

Crabtree initiated the contact, and even the final contact was barely after five yards. Definitely not something you are going to get a call for on a ball that wasn’t catchable to begin with.

i to was convinced that the niners were the better team, especially when the score was 28-6.

Most team can count their their lucky stars, but the niners can count their lucky lights.

NFL= Nice Fix League. How much money would the advertisers have lost when the score was on it’s way to be 42-6, and everybody strated flipping channels.

Bottom line: to Frank Gore. As a team you guys choked at the goal line. That’s the difference between Montana and Kaeprnick. And the difference between Walsh and Harbaugh. Joe and Bill would have called and executed the right play in that situation.
