Yes, a true game of inches. Which only emphasizes just how hard it is to win a SB. Not only do you need to stay healthy, but you need a few breaks.
On the other hand...
If we don't bizarrely fumble four times against Bucs, it's a blow out and it wouldn't have had to come down to Staff heroics (though in retrospect, I'm glad it did, as he got to showcase his clutchness and ice water in his veins).
If Skowroneck doesn't have bricks for hands, we get a comfortable lead on Niners.
If the refs didn't have a blindfold on during the Higgins TD, the SB probably is a cakewalk.
If OBJ doesn't blow out his knee in the first half, we probably cruise.
So, yeah, there were breaks in both directions, but the bottom line is, the Rams did just enough to bring home the hardware.
