The niners losing the super bowl is still fresh in memory. Sometimes I cringe when I am on other sites and those ravens fans start rubbing it in. They know that it was a hollow victory. What good is a ref if they see a call and won't make it? Anyhoo, the season is over and now there is nothing to look forward to until next year.
The 49ers are going to have to make some changes if they are going to have a chance of coming through the west. Seattle is good and they are only going to get better. Russell Wilson is a real quarterback and he showed that he is top notch talent. The niner defense has to get better up front and in the secondary.
I don't know what happened to Aldon Smith in the second half of the season once Justin Smith went down. He was on a tear and then all of sudden, it seemed like his sacks just started to disappear.
Should the 49ers even bring Randy Moss back? I thought that he would have been a bigger part of the offense, but I don't know if they really need him going forward. I just think about all of the players that were lost to injury before the superbowl and how much of a difference they could have made. Frank Gore is a great back, but if that was Kendall Hunter that got into the open at the end of the game, nobody would have caught him. Seeing Mario Manningham in action with Colin Kaepernick would have been good too. Super bowl still stings.
The NFL season really is year round. The combine is coming up soon and the draft not too far after that. Now they make sure to keep your nfl fix with just enough info and activities to keep you going until the season starts again.

Niners Lose the Super Bowl
Still pissed off about the Super Bowl Loss
I just don't understand how they could play that bad in the 1st half.
The defense really let down the whole team.
Why can't the corners and safeties cover down field?
Couldn't even watch David Letterman. Didn't want to hear any 49er jokes.
They could have pulled the game out at the end.
Those refs were worthless.
I logged into other sites to see what people had to say.
Ravens fans came up with plenty of excuses for the no call.
The 49ers did make too many mistakes in this one.
All these people keep saying they are picking the 49ers to be back in the superbowl.
There are no guarantees that they will make it back.
Niners should never have allowed the refs to get into it.
Losing a game that close doesn't make sense.
Now there is no football to watch for a while. This sucks.

SuperBowl mismatches
Ray Lewis is playing is last game as a Raven. The guy has been really good for the NFL. He has played dominant football for a long time. He is going to be up for this superbowl, but I am hoping that the 49ers can take advantage of mismatches against him.
The 49ers have some really fast tight ends. If they can get match ups with Delanie Walker and Vernon Davis on Ray Lewis, they have a chance to exploit it. There are going to be some big hits in this game and the 49ers have to be ready to take them.
Getting into the open field is going to be the difference maker. Vernon Davis with the ball and a linebacker is not a good combo for the Ravens. I really hope the Niners can hang touchdowns on the Ravens all day and chew up that clock.
The 49ers defense has been strong in the past, but they are going to have to keep an eye on the Ravens wide outs. They are good at catching the ball down field and the niners have had a problem defending deep balls lately. Against Atlanta, they were getting confused and it resulted in the Falcons getting points. They have got to get a pass rush on Flacco and the corners and safeties have to tighten up coverage down field. It would be great for Aldon Smith and Justin Smith to start getting some action in the Ravens backfield.
Where is the mismatch on the Ravens offense? It has to be Tory Smith, but you cannot sleep on Anquan Boldin. They have strong wide receivers. The niners are going to have to lay big hits to jar the ball lose and use their hands to knock down passes at the point of contact.
Another factor is going to be ball control. Getting those points on the board and chewing clock with the running game. I really hope the 49ers can open up the offensive playbook and start pouring the points on. I just hope that they stay away from the trick plays.

The SuperBowl and Beyond
Just a few hours away from the superbowl. It is hard to believe that the 49ers are back into the big game. It was only a few years ago that the team was down in the dumps and looking like they would never recover. Enter Jim Harbaugh and it seems like we returned from Bizzaro world. The quarterback play got better and we actually started winning football games. It is amazing how much of a difference the head coach can make. He actually got Alex Smith and the Media to believe that Alex is an Elite quarterback.
There are lots of fans that were starting to pull for Alex Smith and you can understand that. Are you really sorry for the guy for losing his job to Colin Kaepernick? No. Alex has made enough money off of the niners. His play was nowhere near worth that money. It was strange to see him hang around the 49ers for so long. It always made me wonder why they never cut him before.
The defense has been strong for a good while now. I didn't understand the Mike Nolan hiring, but the team did focus on defense once he got here. The draft picks that were made during his tenure really are the core of this football team now.
I had high hopes for Mike Singletary. He had the tough talk and he was a good player, but the team seemed like they were not prepared sometimes. The play calling really got predictable under his regime. They had good personnel but could not bring all the parts together. Trying to run the ball so much and having Alex Smith back there at quarterback was not a good combination.
Jim Harbaugh is just a genius. He squeezed as much talent as he could out of Alex Smith. Michael Crabtree and the other wide receivers are looking like a brand new bunch with Colin Kaepernick. I can vividly remember people calling Crabtree a bust and a diva. News Flash, He was always good. Alex Smith would throw passes that were not catch-able Jim Harbaugh almost pulled off one of the greatest magic tricks ever by almost getting the 49ers past the Giants last year with Alex. Truth be told, without those kick return fumbles, the niners might have won a super bowl last year.
This has been on heck of a ride. The 49ers will play tomorrow and I hope they win another super bowl ring. Alex Smith will be probably be playing somewhere else next year. I hope that he can keep playing at a high level the way Jim Harbaugh has programmed him to do.
