OK, Im not a sports type person so Im trying to understand that last 4 seconds.  Why did he not catch it and kneel down so they could do the only option which was a Hail Mary Pass. There was NO way he could have ran it that far in 4 seconds. Idiot threw the game away for his team.  I dont mind cause I won either way :D


Any ideas on what they were thinking?

Or do I owe him an apology?

I have an idea that he wasn't thinking.

(And, I wish they would just STOP saying the winning team is a "World" Champion...  *Sigh* )

Yes,  It doesnt make a lick of sense when it is only held in the US huh?  Must be one of the jockies running around in his nice little suit that came up with that.  They tend to never think before running their mouths    IMO

If a play is ongoing, it doesn't matter if the time runs out; the game will end when the play does.

Didnt they end it when he was running down the field, or did he get tackled and thats what ended it even though the clock ran out?  I was trying to catch that part.


I know if the ball is in the air on a pass they are covered until its caught 

Yes, the clock starts when the receiving team touches the ball - a play at the end of the quarter or game itself lasts until it is over, not when the clock hits 0.

World champions?  Who else plays football?  I mean the Canadians, but ...  Besides, even the Cowboys could beat any other foreign team, so World Champions is correct.  It ain't like the other football where they don't use nothing but feet.  But that game is the Seinfield of sports - "nothing ever happens."  You watch for a couple of hours and the score is still tied -- 0-0.  Then they let them kick balls closer and closer until someone can score.  Funny.

The ravens played a game of fakes and fakeouts..    Its so obvious that the NFL Teams have become so stuck in their routine, that if you just come at them with high-school football gimmicks, you can win the superbowl...

Thanks guys,

Man that was just eating me up someone would try that knowing that that was it (the game was in that one mans hands at that point)

I would have went for that bomb pass and had everyone down in the endzone, just seems like a better chance with only 1 shot at it 

Well, I enjoyed the game..  especially when the 49s got back into it..  The last 4 minutes, "seeing if the 49s could pull it off," were very interesting..
