If only SF had turned up for the first.. well.. half.
Power outage? You'd think it was a third world country.
There should be a law against residential skips being swapped over at 7am, esp the day after the Super Bowl and next door to me! grrrr
SF had the chance to snatch it at the end. They fluffed their lines. Ravens won it in the first 2 quarters. After that SF were on a roll. Another 5 mins and SF would have taken it.
Should have taken a timeout on that 4th down, you could see the blitz was coming and the Ravens had been successful with the blitz in the red zone on the turnover that the Niners could only convert into a FG previously.
Well quite, would never happen in a modern stadium like we have
Frankly, when the lights went "out" it was about as dark as the Amex with the floodlights on full. In fact, I could see the far side of the field much better from a seat in the top deck of the Superdome than the far touchline at the Amex from my seat in WSU at a floodlit game.
And I've no idea what the half-time show sounded like on TV, but in the stadium it was shite. Worst PA mix ever at any Super Bowl I've been to - even worse than the one when mike contact was lost at Gwen Stefani and Sting in 2003. Mind you, that was an improvement ...
