This is the playoff game to establish the best team in the American Conference (AFC) with that team playing the winner of the National Conference (NFC) in the Superbowl. Both teams had excellent regular seasons winning 12 and 13 out of 16 games respectively. In the last round of playoffs, the Ravens beat the Houston Texans 20-13 while the Patriots destroyed the Denver Broncos ubiquitous Tim Tebow by 35 points.

    I'll be around on the comments as soon as my online F1 2011 race is over, but I'll be following the game during the race, that's for sure :-) Go Patriots!

  • Mr C22/01/2012 at 18:46

    we're just going to grab some food and then i'll be with y'all.

  • Mr C22/01/2012 at 18:47

    btw, i'm assuming we've commented on the ravens before, because when i went looking for pictures i recognised their cheerleaders.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 18:49

    It'll be Patriots cheerleaders tonight, wrapped up warm :-)

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 18:51

    Mr C,

    We saw the Ravens before and you picked them because they wore purple and then they lost.

    Hey guys, are you going to cover the NFC championship game at San Fran this evening (early morning for anyone in Europe....)

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 19:04

    I won't see the NFC game as I have an early start which is a real shame because I would really like to see that game.

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 19:07

    Go Ravens! I never thought I'd say that...

    ...this game is the lesser of two evils.

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 19:09

    From @SportsIllustrated:

    The Patriots are 6-1 vs. Ravens all-time, but the 1 loss came in the their only playoff meeting. #AFCTitle

    Very interesting.....

  • Mr C22/01/2012 at 19:17

    ooh goodie. links are working. how 'bout +1?

  • Mr C22/01/2012 at 19:17

    Watching a preview show and everyone on the panel tipped the Giants for tonight's second game. I just don't understand that

    My wife wants the Giants. I'm undecided... Whoever wins that game I want to win the Super Bowl for certain though.

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 19:42

    Giants.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 19:45

    Now that I have distracted everyone on to the other game I think we should get back to the first one. Simple question Ravens or Patriots?

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 19:45

    Giants.

    it would appear you have mr. C jinxing the Ravens on your side, Kai....

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 19:48

    Now that I have distracted everyone on to the other game I think we should get back to the first one. Simple question Ravens or Patriots?

    No preference. The Pats are hard to beat in most circumstances, and they're playing at home.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 19:49

    I can't see past the Pats

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 19:55

    Offensive or Defensive Line, not that it is a problem - unless you are a QB....

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 19:57

    I can't see past the Pats

    Just throw the darn ball, Doug Flutie !!! :p

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 21:17

    I got emailed from COTA about luxury and premium seating...

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 21:17

    think I'm gonna pass

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 21:17

    I wonder who will score before half time

    The way the pats are moving it, probably time them to put points and the board and the ravens to try to respond

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 21:19

    I got emailed from COTA about luxury and premium seating...

    me too

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 21:20

    Block it!

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 21:20

    Nope

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 21:20

    Patriots definitely went up the field too quickly

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 21:21

    me too

    What is the cost of tickets for COTA Kai?

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 21:21

    They quote the luxury and premium from $1,000 to $5,000.

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 21:23

    Awww!

  • Mr C22/01/2012 at 21:23

    how do you run like that? looking at the sky?

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 21:23

    They quote the luxury and premium from $1,000 to $5,000.

    How much is a top-notch ticket?

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 21:23

    What is the cost of tickets for COTA Kai?

    too much for me. :)

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 21:24

    how do you run like that? looking at the sky?

    carefully. :p

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 21:24

    They didn't say for certain. They said you could make a deposit of 100 USD per ticket to get in queue for when they actually go on sale.

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 21:27

    They didn't say for certain. They said you could make a deposit of 100 USD per ticket to get in queue for when they actually go on sale.

    Not a lot of info, more like 'soon there will be specifics' kind of thing.

    I'm not able to go.

    And double your budget for Montreal.. too!.

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 21:30

    save the money for NJ in 2013 :)

    yeah. And I won't have to fly 4 hours to get there. That will save so much.

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 21:32

    I'm still hoping to make it.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 21:32

    yeah. And I won't have to fly 4 hours to get there. That will save so much.

    That's why my trip to Canada this year is very much a one off I fear. Monza 2013 for me I think as it's driving distance, or maybe Le Mans, but that's less likely now Pug have withdrawn and left Ant Davidson on the sideline

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 21:44

    I'm here :-) Was watching the first half during my online race, where I finished 4th :-)

  • Mr C22/01/2012 at 21:44

    hey chap

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 21:45

    After 55 laps of Abu Dhabi, I still think we should blow the whole complex up.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 21:46

    Didn't get a great view of the two Brady interceptions though - what's the score with that? I saw one was a deflection, was hte other a bad pass? Bad route? Something else?

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 21:47

    After 55 laps of Abu Dhabi, I still think we should blow the whole complex up.

    I can not believe it took you 55 laps....I want to blow up the thing after hearing the press relase that Herman would be the designer...

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 21:48

    Hi Noelinho

  • jwcrummett22/01/2012 at 21:48

    But the blue is pretty!

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 21:48

    And we are back!

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 21:49

    Didn't get a great view of the two Brady interceptions though - what's the score with that? I saw one was a deflection, was hte other a bad pass? Bad route? Something else?

    Brady is a little off today.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 21:50

    Just need to find the right jersey… Cowboys… Dolphins… Patriots! :-)

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 21:50

    Just need to find the right jersey… Cowboys… Dolphins… Patriots! :-)

    you where done on the first pick.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 21:52

    I'm glad Green-Ellis is playing tonight, after Ridley's fumble last week.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 21:55

    Another FG for the Pats

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 21:59

    Just need to find the right jersey… Cowboys… Dolphins… Patriots! :-)

    i'd rather poke my eyes out than pick one of them! ;-)

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:05

    Nice completion

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:07

    ravens seem to be able to do just enough to keep the drive moving

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:09

    I thought he was out

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:09

    nice, like to check the feet tho

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:10

    And he has a hold of the defenders face mask

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:10

    And he has a hold of the defenders face mask

    stiff arm so it's fine

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:11

    stiff arm so it's fine

    Really?

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:12

    And he has a hold of the defenders face mask

    good call actually, he dragged him down my the face mask

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:12

    Really?

    i retract upon review!

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:12

    Wow, it stands.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:13

    No appeal from the Pats

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:13

    Baltimore take the lead. Didn't see that coming

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:14

    He was out. But you can't challenge an already-reviews play.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:14

    Wow, it stands.

    I missed the feet, too busy looking at the face mask! I guess it was too close to reverse, insufficient evidence maybe?

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 22:15

    Not another Clash of the Titans movie! "Unleash the Kraken!"

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:16

    Ravens ball! Pats had so many chances to pick that up

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 22:16

    Nice strip of the football!

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:16

    Oh no. Disaster.

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 22:17

    Nice run!

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:20

    Crucial stop, that.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:21

    Crucial stop, that.

    Ravens need a bigger cushion

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:24

    that looked painful

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:24

    Defender landed on his ankle

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:24

    Ew, his ankle isn't supposed to go that way.

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:25

    off sides?

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:25

    Offside

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:25

    off sides?

    yeah, minus the s. :)

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:26

    Is Pollard paid to maim the Patriots?

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:26

    Oh, a pick.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:32

    TD Brady

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:33

    Phew. At least we've got the lead now. Hope the Gronk comes back though.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:33

    Might not give him this

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:35

    It's coming back, and the half-yard line.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:35

    3rd & goal

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 22:36

    stopped!

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:36

    Stopped him! Big play right there

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:36

    Go for it

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:36

    TD now

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:36

    Ally-oop.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:37

    That is how to score a TD.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:37

    that's the way to do it

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:37

    On replay it's so cool to see him up and over, breaking the plane with the ball.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:40

    ray lewis almost snapped brady in half

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 22:40

    Nice 5 yards from a nothing play...

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:42

    The Ravens are looking like they'll take this game.

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:42

    Sorry, but those black pants look like crap.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:43

    nicely done from ricky, getting the extra yard. yay for ricky :)

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:44

    intercepted!

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:45

    oh that's big

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:45

    oh that's big

    yes it is.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:45

    intercepted!

    Oh, Sky Player must be behind your stream…

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:45

    Interception-what a time for that to happen

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:45

    Oh, I saw it now. Yep, it's half a minute behind.

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:45

    Oh, Sky Player must be behind your stream…

    ooh, sorry. I'm watching it on TV.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:46

    ooh, sorry. I'm watching it on TV.

    Ah, right, well Sky Player is quite slow then!

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:47

    Patriots need a touchdown on the next drive. They need to really force the issue, otherwise they'll give it all up like the Saints last week.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:47

    The streams seem to be keeping up with TV

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:47

    Ah, right, well Sky Player is quite slow then!

    I can hold off on comments a few seconds.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:47

    Clearly the streams are faster than Sky's own.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:47

    Ah, right, well Sky Player is quite slow then!

    over a minute by my test

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:48

    NO!

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:48

    oh my word

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 22:48

    And Intercept is the best way to answer an intercept....

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 22:48

    oh my

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:48

    Intercepted right back again

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:50

    I love picks like that, great reactions from the safetys/CBs

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:50

    Wonder if we are heading into over time

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:51

    LIke I said, I think it's the Ravens' day.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:51

    Wonder if we are heading into over time

    I hope not, I don't want to miss the start of the niners game, I'm going to miss enough as it is already thanks to needing sleep!

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:53

    They have to go for it

  • Mr C22/01/2012 at 22:55

    Wonder if we are heading into over time

    they have overtime?

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:55

    They have to go for it

    FG is no gimme from where they are. It's a big call cos it's not a short 4th down

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:55

    they have overtime?

    If it's level after 60, yes.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:55

    they have overtime?

    There has to be a winner or the superbowl will be a bit one sided

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:56

    they have overtime?

    can't tie in playoffs! or the regular season. or any american sport!

  • Mr C22/01/2012 at 22:57

    There has to be a winner or the superbowl will be a bit one sided

    :)

    can't tie in playoffs! or the regular season. or any american sport!

    gotya.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:57

    I wonder if the Pats will try another shot at the end zone on thefirst play because no-one would believe they would do it again

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 22:58

    I wonder if the Pats will try another shot at the end zone on thefirst play because no-one would believe they would do it again

    they'll wanna run time of the clock

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 22:59

    they'll wanna run time of the clock

    That's what I expected the last time

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:59

    can't tie in playoffs! or the regular season. or any american sport!

    Unless, of course, it's still a tie after 15 minutes' overtime :-) Happens roughly once every 2-3 years.

    Except for in the play-offs, obviously. That still wouldn't work :-)

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 22:59

    they'll wanna run time of the clock

    They tried that at the start of the second half. It didn't work.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:01

    Unless, of course, it's still a tie after 15 minutes' overtime :-) Happens roughly once every 2-3 years.

    true that. but the concept of a draw doesn't seem to go down well in the US.. No wonder cricket never took off :)

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:01

    They tried that at the start of the second half. It didn't work.

    it's right thing to do tho

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 23:02

    it's right thing to do tho

    They need a first down now though!

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:02

    That didn't go too well

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 23:03

    ooh, slap fight we missed.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:03

    Can the Ravens go 80 yards in 1:44?

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 23:03

    Still 2 TO's.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:04

    Can the Ravens go 80 yards in 1:44?

    2 time outs, and only need FG to tie. I see no reason why not.

    Getting out of bounds would help tho

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:05

    Getting out of bounds would help tho

    If the receiver gets out of bounds before he is tackled the clock stops. If he is tackled in field it keeps running

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:07

    Easy FG now

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:07

    If the receiver gets out of bounds before he is tackled the clock stops. If he is tackled in field it keeps running

    Exactly

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:08

    Exactly

    That was for anyone who doesn't know the rule

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 23:09

    That was big

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 23:09

    Two more shots att a win then shot for overtime...

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:09

    All on the kicker now

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 23:10

    Overtime.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:10

    woah

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:10

    He missed

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:10

    Hooked it

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 23:10

    NO GOOD!??!?!

    (Waiting for slower feeds to post this)

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:10

    Unbelievable

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:12

    They were out of his contact zone comfortably

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 23:12

    Wow. Absolutely, completly, off the hook.

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 23:13

    I love the steam coming off of their heads.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:15

    I still can't believe the game finished that way

    always a shame to see a game end because of somenody's failure rather than a positive play

    although you can delay comments by typing something to bring out the 'pending' box. click it once you've seen the play.

    Actually, it's the Sky Player subscriber who seems to have the problem ;-)

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 23:26

    On that note, I am hoping they will make a late "decision" to add it to their Sky Player monthly online package.

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:30

    Sorry Kai, I just can't cheer the Giants on, especially playing against the Niners. Last week is too fresh in my mind! If they get to the Superbowl, I'll be very much behind them tho

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:31

    cheers for the comments everyone. quick check, aside from previously mentioned issues, any tech problems of note?

    None

    No worries! I've been a Giants fan for 20 years or more, it's all good. They're local for me, and I love going to their games, even though I haven't been in a long time.

    I like the Giants, beating the Pats in the Superbowl a few years back was awesome, but they'll always be below the Niners on the list, I would love to see them win it this year

    I get it. And they've been off the radar for so long.

    beating the Pats in the Superbowl

    When they made *that* interception in Super Bowl 42, my friend, a Titans fan, was screaming in my face, he was so happy. I really wanted to punch him.

    But I didn't. I'm too nice :-) But I still have nightmares about that game.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 23:38

    Where are we meant to?

    there is no thread for this game.

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 23:40

    are you guys on Google+?

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 23:40

    are you guys on Google+?

    No. I tried it, it was rubbish. Didn't know what to do, so I don't use it.

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 23:41

    Is Mr C not lurking here somewhere still?

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:41

    Kai,

    Just e-mail Mr C 50 words on the game and he will do a post for you if he is still awake

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:41

    are you guys on Google+?

    Nope

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:56

    Where did everyone go?

    I decided to catch the first quarter and by the time I got organised everyone had disappeared

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 23:56

    I'm here

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:57

    I'm still about :)

  • Kai22/01/2012 at 23:57

    I just wasn't sure if we were supposed to be here or not, sorry for any confusion. eek.

  • Steven Roy22/01/2012 at 23:58

    We really should set up a separate post but I am sure if we are quiet and don't annoy the neighbours it will be OK

  • Jordan F122/01/2012 at 23:58

    Just finished supper here. Go Niners!

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:58

    How has it been so far? Only seen one play

    Niners D just got very close to getting the ball on sackfumble

  • peteS2K22/01/2012 at 23:59

    I figure it's a single continuous event :)

  • Noelinho22/01/2012 at 23:59

    Oh, I'm sure they won't mind :-) I just thought everyone had gone!

  • Steven Roy23/01/2012 at 00:00

    WOW

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 00:00

    Wooohooo! 6-0 Niners!

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 00:01

    YEAH! Touchdown 49ers!

  • peteS2K23/01/2012 at 00:01

    Was he out of bounds early in the run?

    VD is awesome

  • Mr C23/01/2012 at 00:02

    I'm not sure we're supposed to continue commenting on this thread...

    ideally not. but, carry on. just got your mail, sorry i thought everyone had scattered.

  • peteS2K23/01/2012 at 00:02

    That was sooo close

    VD is awesome

    I should clarify that, Vernon Davis is awesome :)

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 00:02

    What a bonehead... penality for grandstanding, jez....

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 00:02

    Ooooh, I think he's just out, but that would be a tough over-turn.

  • peteS2K23/01/2012 at 00:03

    ideally not. but, carry on

    We'll behave ourselves :)

  • peteS2K23/01/2012 at 00:04

    Good refereeing, explaining himself.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 00:05

    I think he was out, but I also think they made the right call.

  • peteS2K23/01/2012 at 00:06

    I think he was out, but I also think they made the right call.

    I agree, it was so marginal. It cricket DRS terms, it was Umpire's Call

  • Mr C23/01/2012 at 00:08

    We'll behave ourselves :)

    yeah, i trust ya ;)

    with event commenting the plan is to keep comments loosely on topic, then close the thread once it's done (e.g http://sidepodcast.com/event/new-york-giants-green-bay-packers ).

    that way we get time off and don't have to monitor the site 24/7. it's early days though, we're still figuring the best compromise between having a live system and having a life.

    tonight though i have no plans, christine is asleep, so lets watch some more football ;)

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 00:09

    tonight though i have no plans, christine is asleep, so lets watch some more football ;)

    cheers. I knew that was the plan, so I wanted to honor it and scoot if we needed to.

  • Mr C23/01/2012 at 00:10

    cheers. I knew that was the plan, so I wanted to honor it and scoot if we needed to.

    it's cool, had i not gone off and read some tech news instead, i'd have started the thread. i guess in future people can 'own' a live thread (assuming they'll be around til the end), but we're not ready yet.

    It's a while since I last saw a QB with the playbook on his arm. Seems to have gone out of fashion (or do they just hide it better?)

    I like when the weather during a game equalizes it a bit, when it's hard for both teams...even though the 9ers will be very used to this.

    HAA!

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 00:56

    Ah, ok, so it's an "invalid signal" if he doesn;t signal properly (5 yards), and unsportsmanlike conduct (15 yards) if he calls with a proper signal and then runs off (which is what I thought he did).

  • Steven Roy23/01/2012 at 00:56

    Weird stats.

    QB made two passes for 73 yards. VD made one catch but it was 79 yards

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 00:58

    But it's only unsportsmanlike conduct if he hits someone. If he doesn't, it's 5 yards for undue delay of game... Simples.

  • peteS2K23/01/2012 at 00:58

    QB made two passes for 73 yards. VD made one catch but it was 79 yards

    it's the sacks counting the negative yardage

    But it's only unsportsmanlike conduct if he hits someone. If he doesn't, it's 5 yards for undue delay of game... Simples.

    feels like it should be a 10yd to me

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 01:01

    feels like it should be a 10yd to me

    Which would then actually have been half the distance to the goal :-)

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 01:01

    Smith cottoned on to the blitz nicely there, shame he couldn't get away.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 01:02

    I like how some of the Special Teams guys go out there and don't see much action so at the end of the play (or just after... ahem...) they just shove somebody.

    hehe

  • peteS2K23/01/2012 at 01:02

    he really should've caught that

    Hehe, I knew to look out for the hit :-)

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:02

    But yeah, that was messy.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:02

    Hehe, I knew to look out for the hit :-)

    I'm trying not to completely give away what happens. :)

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:03

    He's used to giving the hits, now he knows what it's like to get one!

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:04

    Glad to see limbs moving

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 02:05

    I wonder if one of the questions you get asked when you are hit like that is "You want a pay cut?"....

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:06

    Phew. That seems encouraging.

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 02:07

    Why can not the giants punter slip just before he kicks the ball ?

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:08

    I wish Gore was a Patriot. He's a really good runner.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:08

    Haha, stiff arm fail.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:09

    Ouch, that's a bad penalty to give away right now,

  • Mr C23/01/2012 at 02:12

    am gonna leave you guys to it. enjoy the rest of the game :)

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:13

    am gonna leave you guys to it. enjoy the rest of the game :)

    G'night

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 02:14

    Enjoy the couch, mr. C.....

  • Mr C23/01/2012 at 02:14

    Enjoy the couch, mr. C.....

    :) :)

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:16

    OK, cya Mr C :-)

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:16

    49ers are doing nothing, just like last week. Giants need to finish them off...

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 02:18

    Manning's 4th sack!

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:19

    Oh, yes :-)

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:19

    3rd and 15...

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:20

    Watching Eli's face as he gets hammered is fun :-)

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:21

    Challenge!

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:23

    That's got to be a Giants ball.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:24

    Huge play, that. Massive. Bad mistake from the 49ers.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:26

    Gotta love Ed Hochuli.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:26

    Huge play, that. Massive. Bad mistake from the 49ers.

    +1

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:26

    Only the 49ers' 11th turnover of the season.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:28

    Good pass.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:31

    TD Gmen.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:31

    They needed that.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:31

    Let's see if SanFran can respond like they did last week.

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 02:33

    Nice run!!!!

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 02:37

    Nice run, smith.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:38

    Yeah, nice two-footed challenge at the end of the play too!

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:39

    Oh, now that is how to block!

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:39

    Brilliantly-executed play :-)

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 02:39

    I would like to see a 100 yard dash between smith and Manning....

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:40

    ruh-ro

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:42

    Hmm. Still hard to pick this, isn't it?

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:43

    Hmm. Still hard to pick this, isn't it?

    yeah, I can see it going either way.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:44

    I'm feeling tired now!

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:45

    I'm feeling tired now!

    this game seems to be never ending to me. But it's much later for you.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:45

    Good stop.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:46

    this game seems to be never ending to me. But it's much later for you.

    Yeah, it has been a long game. But there were a couple of reviews and the long injury timeout. But still, long considering how much run there's been.

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 02:47

    Smith really needs to run on first down just to open things up....

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 02:50

    5th Sack of the game....

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:51

    5th Sack of the game....

    Hehe, good to know :-)

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:51

    Sack for sack, what a back and forth game.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:52

    um.... I just lost all comments....

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:52

    Throw the red flag

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:52

    Actually, don't.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:53

    Now I've thought about it :-)

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:54

    um.... I just lost all comments....

    that was weird. I got a blue screen of death and then all the comments went away. I came back to the page via the link Mr C tweeted earlier and now they're all here.

    #notesforMrC

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:56

    He wasn't cruzing along quickly enough, ho ho ho.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:56

    He wasn't cruzing along quickly enough, ho ho ho.

    :)

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:57

    These guys have got to be so tired by now.

    ...or maybe that's just us.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:58

    No real need to pass it so low.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:59

    Does anyone want to win this?

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 02:59

    Does anyone want to win this?

    They keep trying to give it away, don't they?

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 02:59

    I'm amazed that wasn't blocked or tipped.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:00

    Woo! Great completion!

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:03

    I just screamed.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:03

    So close.

  • jwcrummett23/01/2012 at 03:03

    Overtime?

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:04

    Oh, of course, they can punt, they don't need to score!

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:04

    Overtime?

    This game has been too crazy to make predictions right now.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:04

    Fake punt to hail mary ;-)

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:04

    Which would fail.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:05

    Giants have to take a TO for that.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:07

    YES. He got Tuck-ed away nicely.

    #sorry

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:08

    OT

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:09

    I sure hope this overtime works out better than the last one I saw, with a Denver Bronco running off into the distance on the first play like Forrest Gump.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:09

    Now, if only he'd thrown that one play before, they'd be kicking a FG.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:09

    I sure hope this overtime works out better than the last one I saw, with a Denver Bronco running off into the distance on the first play like Forrest Gump.

    What was wrong with that?

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:10

    What was wrong with that?

    I hate Tebow. :)

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:10

    The new OT rules are gash.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:11

    Pouring rain

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:11

    We may be here a while.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:11

    Ed Hochuli explaining the entire NFL rulebook...

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:12

    Ed Hochuli explaining the entire NFL rulebook...

    so many changes from what OT used to be.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:14

    Nearly hit the cheerleaders.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:15

    *gasp*

    .

    .

    Pheewwww

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 03:15

    Nearly hit the cheerleaders.

    Who are you talking about, Noelinho, the Giant football player or mr. C? :p

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:16

    Cruz lost his shoe :-)

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 03:17

    All the way 49ers

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:20

    Well short. Punt.

  • jwcrummett23/01/2012 at 03:21

    OT rule is the first one to 6?

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:21

    Giants have gained 16 yards in OT…

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:21

    OT rule is the first one to 6?

    First to score, now.

  • jwcrummett23/01/2012 at 03:21

    Oh because they both have had possession?

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:23

    Oh because they both have had possession?

    Because the Giants didn't get a TD first time around.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:23

    This could be won on a safety.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:26

    oh dear God.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:27

    YEEESSSS!

    ..if it's real.

  • jwcrummett23/01/2012 at 03:28

    What happened? I don't have it on.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:28

    Game over. Surely.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:28

    Punt return fumbled, back to Giants.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:28

    in FG position

  • jwcrummett23/01/2012 at 03:29

    Ok I see it now on the gamecast

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:29

    this game is breaking twitter

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:30

    I think Billy Cundiff broke Twitter, it's still recovering.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:30

    I think Billy Cundiff broke Twitter, it's still recovering.

    I hope you saw his #playlists earlier.

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:31

    The first team to win, wins? Wow. Insightful.

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:31

    The first team to win, wins? Wow. Insightful.

    *makes a note of this*

    hehe

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:32

    Bradshaw picking up where Cruz left off earlier.

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 03:33

    Block kick...guys, block kick....

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:33

    how many delays of game are you gonna have tonight!?! 96,000??

  • Jordan F123/01/2012 at 03:34

    how many delays of game are you gonna have tonight!?! 96,000??

    add one more....

  • Noelinho23/01/2012 at 03:35

    Why not just chuck Gatorade over the kicker?

  • Kai23/01/2012 at 03:35

    oh my.

    SO happy.

    What a long, strange trip that was!

    so that's good
