Thanks to the strong hands of Bouldin does Flacco shine. But it takes two to make it work.

As for the parents of Jim and John, this is not the first time one had to accept the loss. I can not say the game of Monopoly is remotely close to the Super Bowl but each experienced a win/loss somewhere along the way when growing up. The parents helped sort it out then and will now but I think life lessons from yesteryear will dictate the correct response for both. Both parents cheered both equally. As a parent of two I understand certainly. For me, the game was close, that makes all the difference. That makes all the difference for the brothers.

Numbers, I loves em, records, who doesn't love them.

Colin fell 2 yards short of most rushing yards in a SB. (McNair 64)

Here is is blaming himself for the loss.

Maybe if the defense was awake in the first half, Kaep would not be having to say this.

Maybe if there was not stupid penalties by our linemen...Or dumb holds, and bad pass interference penalties on third down.

Team effort.

The last person I blame is Kaep.

How about, the other team was just better on this given Sunday?

I would agree. Countless Sundays I sat and watched the Ravens get picked apart.

By rights. AVG should be the one to start the NFL 2013 thread.

As the most outspoken member of the championship team, it is only right.

To be nominated by the most outspoken of the runners up should hold merit.

Come on, it is kinda a good idea, since NFL threads are kinda a tradition.

No way jose' ...

This is nikimcbee's rice bowl for four years

He had to fight all of those Mayans just to get it this far
besides it's his birthday

Way to go Ravens, boy is brother Jim mad after he said he wouldn't be.

The Chargers almost beat them, Denver almost beat them, New england couldn't last and now the 49ers go down even after a blackout that revived them.

I would say a higher power is involved here

It's been fun to listen to my MN radiostation talk about Randy Moss not playing hard.

Great game though, glad I didn't bail at the power outage.

eddie · 02-05-13, 01:15 AM

Yeah, that's twice that Moss has gotten to the SB and hasn't been on the winning team!

But 2 other former Vikes got a ring, McKinnie and Birk.

Gotta love my boss! Returned from NO with the official Super Bowl program in gold leaf on the cover for me. Super nice!

NFL thinking of widening field to CFL standards?

The NFL reportedly might consider widening the playing field to Canadian Football League standards, a drastic idea that would be one of the bigger rules changes the game has seen in a long time – if it comes to pass.

Quote:

There would be many logistical issues. Many stadiums were built with the 160-foot wide field in mind, with every foot of possible room used for seats that generate revenue. Widening the field by more than 10 yards might make the playing area inside the stands a bit snug.

What's next?

August · 02-11-13, 08:50 PM

That's a pretty radical idea.

Another question is whether college teams would change their regulation field size as well to match it.

How about a little crowd participation if the field is too wide?
