    Understood, and given your name, I'm not surprised @ your opinion. I just wanted to watch, as I didn't care about either team. In fact, I don't like either team. But IMO, officiating was not great, but not nearly as terrible as some claim. Made for a really entertaining game for someone like me with no vested interest.

    But the officiating didn't cost San Fran that game (not directed @ you Niners), a 22 point third quarter deficit and QB going 1-8 in the redzone did.

        Not when they called it all year. The rules in the most important game of the year should be the same as what all teams were playing under all season. If the rules were as called in the Super Bowl all season, some games would have had different outcomes. Just be consistent. It takes away from the legitimacy of the league when rules are applied differently.

            When your in slushy, snowy, wet weather and one of your wiper blades decides to not clear the windshield anymore. Instead it smears more muck and dirt across the glass making visibility difficult.

                Well, they aren't even consistent across games in the same week or even consistent across quarters in the same game. Either the refs can control the tone of the game or they can't, but NFL needs to pick one side and stick with it. Until then I'll settle for letting them play.

                    When I'm taking my work break to eat lunch and everyone wants to talk to me about their crap.

                    I don't care. Let me eat in peace.

                        One of the many reasons why having an office where you can just close the door is great.

                            People who have offices and can eat in peace but then step out to talk to you when you're eating.

                            but seriously, this happens a lot to me.

                                Just talk with your mouth full and spit food in their face. That would stop the conversation.

                                        That sucks. I leave people at work alone for the most part. I'm not here to socialize. In fact, I couldn't care less about what most of the people here do outside this building. Most of them are much older than me.

                                                            I feel your pain! My wife did this to me the other night while I was playing Battlefield 3. She decides it's time for a full blown conversation of nothing and says to me "Boy you are getting killed a lot!". In my mind I am saying to myself "Well maybe if you STFU I could concentrate! SMH!
