You MUST be SOUND in the KICKING GAME...and it COST the CRAB CAKE Boyz and the GOLD RUSH.....KICKING GAME Gate NFL CHAMPIONSHIP Sunday Edition

How many time does ESPN NCAA Lead Anchor REECE DAVIS have to say it and people in the KNOW totally agree with it.....YOU MUST BE SOUND IN THE KICKING GAME.......period.

Both the RAVENS and 49ERS couldn't have played a better game and it a;ways comes down to the little things in these games and that is exactly what it was.

The RAVENS MONEY KICKER Billy CUNDIFF misses a chip shot from some 30 plus yards and the RAVENS faithful has to be sick. The 49ERS Faithful gets it another way....PR/KR Kyle WILLIAMS, the son of Chicago WHITE SOX GM Kenny WILLIAMS and draft pick by the SOX some 5 years ago who opted to play both BASEBALL and FOOTBALL at U of A in TUCSON AZ, not only muffed a kick and he knew he had touched the ball but fumbled in OT to set up the NY FOOTBALL GIANTS Game-Winner.

Look SUNDAY Football is about that 53-man roster so you 53 WIN as a TEAM and you 53 LOSE as a team. There is never a good way to go out on a loss but from a standpoint of looking at the Off-Season it is tough to deal with.

Both NEW ENGLAND and BALTIMORE Defenses held up and both Offenses had some key 3 and outs. But it was the turning point in the GAME when the RAVENS could not convert that 3 and 1 before CUNDIFF missed the FG that really killed them. To his CREDIT.....RAVENS QB Flacco played as well as you possibly can and put his team at least in a position to tie the game and play an extra frame.

On the LEFT COAST...the NINERS played BIG STRIKE with the PREDATOR himself in Tight End Vernon DAVIS as he had 2 catches for 102 yards and 2 scores...that's what you call being effiecient.

Then it was G-MEN WR Victor CRUZ who had 10 catches for 142 Yards that kept the NINERS D and Secondary at bay as he seemed unstoppable for about 2 and a half quarters.

But like always it comes down to all 3 PHASES and the 3rd PHASE let the RAVENS and 49ERS down as they will look back and say WE BEAT OURSELVES and there is no other way to slice it.

Now we have about a half a season until the SUPER BOWL 46 at least it will appear that way with all the coverage. SO in NAPTOWN USA it will be BOSTON CLAM CHOWDER vs GOTHAM CITY in a rematch of #42 in which the PATS came in undefeated and the 1972 DOLPHINS at their mercy for at least 59 minutes and 50 seconds.

WHAT a YEAR for SUNDAY FOOTBALL and we have one more to go....ELI vs TOM.....TOM vs BILL....BAWSTUN vs NEW YAWK....BEANTOWN vs GOTHAM CITY....and many more headlines for Super Bowl 46.

LOMBARDI COUNT....

The BATTLE to get to #4.........................

*****KIND of a SIDE NOTE....Did anyone see the HANDSHAKE that Jim HARBAUGH gave COUGHLIN at the END reminiscent of the handshake he gave SCWARTZ in the D minus the SHOVE....LOOK JIMMY NO ONE likes losing but a SORE LOSER the FOOTBALL GODS will treat you every rip...and you wonder why you didn't WIN this game.
