We have ****ed this.
This is farcical.
Come the season end, we need to shake up the defense - sacking Matt Patricia would be a start as his "coordination" is laughable.
Cheers guys. Still on edge due to the way we lost it last year. That was tough to swallow. :agree:
The call of "bed" is getting louder.
This is looking painfully inevitable.
Farcical isnt the word I would use at this point!Quote:

That'll be game over and goodnight then.
Not sure that hit was legal?!
Head tackle?!
Game over.
Game over.
I'm still not convinced as it stands.
Miss it here and you can rest easy.Quote:

Well done to the Baltimore Ravens - hope you represent the AFC well and manage to get a ring for Ray Lewis :agree:
Happier now. :greengrin:
Yep, all over. Poor, very poor performance.Quote:

Baltimore are heading to the Super Bowl. Fair play to them, played a good game and a good season. As a Pats fan, I will support the AFC champions in the big one.
As for our "performance"... We didnt look like a playoff team at all. We lost Talib early, that had some impact yet no one stepped up. The chance to play on the Super Bowl but no one on D stepped up.
Welker, as much as I love him, wants the big money contract yet tonight he dropped a bread and butter catch that would have given us a first down. He dropped a similar critical pass in the Super Bowl last year. Think his time may have come to an end in New England.
joe joe super joe :singing: join in lads :greengrin
Mon the Ravens in the superbowl :agree:
Was very surprised at that one.
Hope the Ravens win. Glad I can go back to hating the 49ers.
I reckon 80% of neutrals will want the Ravens to do it :agree:Quote:

As for the Pats, maybe it's post loss blues, but I think that could well be it for Brady's chance of another Superbowl win. He's not got many years left and that defence needs more than 1 year to get to a championship quality. Add in the likely loss of Welker, no deep threat and several teams getting stronger I just don't see us having the domination we have all been accustomed to seeing.
Its a good game for neutrals as it has so many good storylines.
Harbowl 1, Ray Lewis, Kaepernick's 10th start in the NFL is the Superbowl, the option offense (which wouldn't work in the NFL apparently) vs a more traditional offense, can Flacco prove his doubters wrong and join the elite.
I'm not really bothered who wins, but I like Kaepernick and Ray Lewis already has a Superbowl ring, so I'm leaning towards the 49ers.
I can't even get to feeling disappointed in all honesty. I was a bit peeved when I went to bed this morning but we got what we deserved in the end. Nothing.Quote:

I reckon we need a serious shake-up across the team. Our defense needs some serious improvement and I wouldn't be too disappointed to see some coaches/coordinators/players leaving and making way for some new and substantially better recruits. Having said that, our offense really worried me last night too, particularly in red zone situations. I reckon Welker will move on this season, being traded for a high draft pick. He cost us the Superbowl last year with his butter-fingers and dropped a couple of first down passes last night which also cost us. Aside from our 2 TEs, we have no physical presence amongst our receivers and that showed last night too I felt.
No qualms with the outcome though and as annoyed as I am at our performance, I tip my hat to Baltimore. They fought hard, put up some huge stops, forced turnovers and ripped us apart with some outstanding plays in the second half. Hard to grudge Lewis his place in the Superbowl and hopefully he has a busier night than he did last night as he deserves to go out on a high. There's also the subplot of the Harbaugh Bowl which will replace the early-season notions of a Manning Bowl in their home town. I wish Baltimore well and hope they manage to get a win for the AFC though it'll be tough against a solid looking 49ers team.
im looking forward to the Har-Bowl already, defo on the side of the cleveland Browns :wink:Quote:
