Has A Coach Ever Choked Quite Like Jim Harbaugh Choked On That Final Goal Line Series?
I know today is going to be all about Ray Lewis, and how rich Joe Flacco is going to be and how resilient the Ravens are but I still can’t get over that chokejob by Jim Harbaugh on the final goal line drive last night. I mean obviously Harbaugh is one of the best coaches in the NFL. He’s also one of the ballsiest, proven by the fact that he benched his 6-2 starter and completely reinvented the team’s offense midstream this season. But what the hell happened last night on those last 4 plays?
First down, run, which I’m fine with, the Niners probably should have run it second down as well, they were getting yards whenever they wanted against the Ravens in the second half. Second down, you run a qb sprint to the right basically allowing a gassed Ravens defense cover half the field. 3rd down is an underneath route to Crabtree that is a solid 4 yards short of the goal line and 4th down is a fade, which makes ZERO sense. Kaepernick is an unreal quarterback, but his 2 strengths are that he throws an accurate sharp ball and he can use his feet to extend plays. So why then would you make him throw a touch pass to the back of the end zone that is one of the hardest throws for a qb to make? And I get that the Ravens blitzed but that fade was coming anyway. Just absolutely mind boggling. The Niners have one of the biggest most in depth playbooks in the league. They have so many looks that can confuse a defense, and they throw a fade? I don’t care if that was Defensive Holding either, that’s a play that should never have been called in that situation, on that down, with that quarterback. And I know for Super Bow post game coverage its always a lot more about the winners than the losers, but that was the story of the game for me more than anything else.
PS
I would like to have sex with Beyonce.
Double PS
By far the best commercial last night.
Even Stone Cold couldn’t stop the waterworks. #lovemesomebeer
now flacco is going to think he is an elite QB…shit
I don’t usually go for black chicks but Beyonce was smoking last night
The play calls weren’t that bad, given that they should have gotten a first down on the helmet-to-helmet on Crabtree on 3rd. I agree that 4th down call was an absolute turd though.
Shut the fuck up big cunt. Go give Robby a reach around, he need it right now
Great, now I am crying at my desk.
you think he sucked that horse off?
I would confiscate Beyonce’s butthole. Wear it around town like a ring.
and tommyboy, bro what are you gay? everybody knows black chicks give the best dome and can break your dick like a pencil
Lot of dust at my desk after watching that ad
Clydesdale commercial was the worst of them all. #horseshit.
I’m quickly starting to dislike Jim harbaugh I know he’s an excellent coach but anytime something goes wrong or he disagrees with the refs he throws a temper tantrum that would make a 5 year old blush.
Mortal Lock – Jim Harbaugh used to unplug the Nintendo when Jon was winning..
Jim Harbaugh – the reason I rooted for the murderer.
Everybody talks about the holding play when the helmet to helmet on the defenseless receiver was the most egregious no call in the history of the NFL. All this talk about player safety and brain damage and yet they allow that is just flat ridiculous.
I would have liked to see CK scramble for the TD. tough loss and fuck Ray Lewis
I don’t usually go for black dudes but Beyonce, for a black dude, was smoking last night.
this psycho bitchng about the no call was absurd too. its the superbowl go out and make a play. dont rely on the ref’s to bail you out. you should be the reason why you win, not the refs.
the question all the reporters should have been asking all week: who usually wins when you guys play Blitz?
I WANT CAKE! I WANT IT NOW!
Couldn’t agree more. Everyone in SF is dumbfounded by those playcalls. You punch it in from the 5 with Gore or Kaep and that’s that. Ravens could have driven down to kick a field goal to win by 1 with the time left on the clock, or they get stopped. That’s how the game should have ended. Fuckin disgusted. Brilliant comeback though. Those missed tackles and TO’s in the first half doomed the 9ers, it was miraculous they were on the goal line to take the lead in the first place. There were holdings on the Jones run back, as well as the Crabtree jersey hold at the end. But I’m not complaining about those. You have your destiny in front of you on the 5 and you can’t score. That was the game. Terrible play calls. FML
How come they didn’t show the part at the end of the commercial where the horse ends up in a Burger King Whopper?
