Well, I’ve had 2 weeks to get over the 49ers Super Bowl loss, so it’s probably time to post the final power ranks. The Super Bowl almost seems like a distant memory at this point, and a lot of 49ers fans are trying to blame the refs for the loss, especially for a non-holding call on their final offensive play. I think 2 things really cost them more: Bad play calling on their final drive, especially at the goal line, and brutal (legitimate) penalties at the worst possible times. If anything, they just showed everyone that they are a talented, but still young team. At least on the bright side, I think they could be a force in the NFC for years to come. Kaepernick and Harbaugh both will get better with experience.
As for the ranks, the Ravens allowed them to move to the #1 spot, and the 49ers moved down behind New England to #3 while the Seahawks moved to #4. That’s all she wrote. We’ll see what happens this fall.
