the better coach won

poor play calling inside the 20 year line cost the 49ers the superbowl... at least twice during the game the 49er coach made the wrong calls, ignoring the 49er strengths and wanting their inexperienced quarterback to suddenly make plays that veterans find challenging... fades to the same wide receiver over and over (is crabtree their only receiver?... no) when they did not have a dominant wide receiver who could make a spectacular catch and when their quarterback was only playing his seventh start... inexperience showed throughout the game but they could have overcome it with the right play calls (and unbiased or at least competent referees that did not make bad calls throughout the game that ultimately affected the outcome, at least from my unbiased perspective)... oh, whatever, it's a sad and brutal game anyway, but if you are a football fan, here is my rant with supportive linkage...

meanwhile, i won my fantasy survival football league (yeah, I picked baltimore) and the party was fun, the food was great, and the people there were even more fun :)
