It might be 9-0 and 8-7, but minor quibble. Even though he's a Giant, I still find it funny to note he hasn't won a Super Bowl since Eli Manning was drafted.
Edit: Take it back, it's actually 5-5 after Spygate...didn't realize Spygate wasn't until start of '07 season I thought it was a year or 2 before that.
I'm just glad Niners won. Atlanta winning the Auperbowl in the Dome would have been the perfect ending for the incredibly shitty years Saints fans had.
So what happened to the Falcons anyway? I was at work and saw them up 17 nothing, next time I had a chance to look was 21-24, then they lost. Hate working every Sunday :/

Grats 49ers and Ravens fans. As much as I didn't want to see the 49ers make it to the big game a Harbaugh bowl does sound pretty damn cool. I hope Ray Ray goes out with another superbowl. Ravens certainly outplayed New England today.

San Fran finally put a drive together after going down 17-0 and got into the end zone. Then their D got a stop and they drove right back down the field again to cut it to 17-14 with about 2 minutes left in the half. Ryan remembered it was still the 1st half and he was allowed to be good for 2 more minutes and led a TD drive to end the half 24-14 to try to kill the momentum...but Niners marched right down the field opening possession of the 2nd half to cut it to 24-21, shut out the Falcons the rest of the way with the help of 2 Ryan turnovers (a pick that wasn't a good throw but didn't get much help from Roddy White falling down coming out of his break and a fumble on a shotgun snap that was all purely on him taking his eyes off the ball) and scored a TD midway through the 4th to take their first lead 28-24. Falcons had 3rd and 4 and 4th and 4 from the San Fran 10 with under 2 minutes left but got stopped both times.
All in all, Ryan and the Falcons didn't get rid of the choker label, even if Ryan looked superb in the 1st half. Probably still had a good enough game to win it if his D hadn't completely folded with a lead just like they did against Seattle, only this time Ryan couldn't bail them out at the end.

ugh brutal loss last night. if you're here talking about spygate, you're a straight up fucking idiot though.
ravens offense looks capable of beating the 49ers so long as the niners don't run away into a high 30s game.

How is talking about spygate "straight up fucking idiot"?
Don't be delusional. The New England Patriots won games because they cheated. A New England Patriots player admired to receiving all of the opposing teams audibles before the game. That helps win games, and that's just the surface. The post spygate record is quite poignant information. Going 10-0 and now 7-7 shows a much more historically realistic football team.
If we can't talk about spygate, can we talk about Brady kicking Ed Reed?

i think bountygate was way more serious than spygate
one guy had players intentionally injuring others for cash prizes, the other one was just recording signals.
The ball hits his knee and pops out right before any part of his body hits the ground. You can see it better from different angles. The ruled it a fumble on the field. Then it was confirmed.

its significant in the matter of who wins and loses, which takes a far backseat to the matter who gets crippled on the field and who doesnt.
wins can always be vacated, trophies can be taken away. you can't fix a situation if someone gets sterling sharpe'd.
