The 49ers should have had the holding penalty on 4th and goal but if they had ran the ball on those goal plays instead of passing then they would have been more likely to score.

The 49ers can complain all they want about the non-call, but I suppose you could say the old cliche, it's 'swings and roundabouts'. Were it not for a non-call for defensive holding on 4th down against the Falcons two weeks ago, they might not have even been in the Super Bowl tonight.

So glad the Ravens won. Don't know if anyone reads nfluk, but the 49ers on there are some of the most insufferable fans you'll ever come across. I don't think I could have faced all the crowing throughout the offseason! Credit where it's due though, the 9ers were down and out but almost pulled off one of the greatest comebacks ever.

THE greatest

Love how the Yanks always claim to be the World Champions.

You are allowed to make contact with receivers within 5m of the line of scrimmage.

Good game last night. We should have won really. I think taking that time out instead of the delay of game penalty was a tough one, not saying we'd have scored but it would have given us more time right at the end. Unfortunately there's been issues with game management throughout the season (something that Harbaugh hasn't managed to coach into the team yet) and it cost us a couple of time outs last night. On the plus side, Kaepernick hasn't played a full season for us and we made the Superbowl. I'm already looking forward to next season, after the baseball season has been and gone though. Two months till that. Woohoo!

Also, Beyonce. Nice outfits, that's about it on that.

Joe Flacco proving traditional pockets passers aren't dead yet. All the talk of him now being elite and the amount of money he's after is mental though.

Hasn't he turned down 16 million a year and is looking for over 20 the only QB's that should be getting that kind of money are the calibre of P Manning,Brady and Rodgers and Flacco isn't in their class

mickey poor QB class. He's got leverage and is using it. Good luck to him.

Nail on head. There isn't a class like last year. How long do you think before people start calling Sam Bradford a bust pal?
