I sure do love seein Brady on his ass

I don't want to say I told you so, but...

NE might have had a chance if Brady would have stopped throwing interceptions.

Happy to see the Harbowl.

Go Niners!

Huh? One was a pass tipped at the line of scrimmage...the other was in the end zone at the very end of the game when they had no chance to win anyway.

His receivers dropping multiple key 3rd down conversion passes was a much bigger problem, as was their lack of a running game.

Ravens/Niners should be a good game!

Yeah...Welker dropped a couple that could have changed the game.

So what's T Brady's legacy now?  Definitely top 5 QBs all time, some would make an argument for #1 with good cause (I'm partial to Montana, but that's besides the point).  But...

When Peyton was at Indy, the talk was that both were the two best in the game but that Brady was the born champion and Peyton was the guy that always came up just a little short (lone exception: SuperBowl XLI).  But now, Brady has lost his last two Superbowls and an AFC Championship (where Pats were 8 pt favorites).

No doubting his talent, abilities, drive, etc.  But the pure 'Winner' luster had faded rapidly for me in recent years.

The team as a whole did not play championship ball.

NE has been in the playoffs and a threat to go to the SB every single year. Next year will be no different. That's unbelievable in the current NFL. Nevermind he was playing with injuries the last couple years.

I'm no Pats fan, but Brady is still as solid as ever.

oh well,...

at least the NHL came back just in time.

...Ravens/Niners should be a good game! 

Ray Lewis, Randy Moss, CK7, the Harbaugh Brothers.  You can't make this shit up!   We're seriously thinking about doing the 200 miles from Reno to Turlock (Kap's hometown) to watch the game.  Probably have to get there real early to find empty barstools.

Anquan Boldin scares me.  I don't think the 49er's can cover him.  Going to be a good one!

[Desert Dust]

I see the Niners as the younger team with more talent; the Ravens definitely have more "big game" experience. 

[Triple J]

If the Niners don't get to Flacco, they're in trouble. Defense needs to play better than they did against Atlanta...they can't afford to spot the Ravens a couple touchdowns early like they did Atlanta and GB.

If the Ravens don't have an answer for Kaep's scrambling then they're in trouble. I expect him to run more in the SB, though not like he did with Green Bay.

[NAKID]

I think those are good points. I don't expect it to be an easy win for either team. That's what should make it a good game.

[Desert Dust]

Niners eighty-four  / Ravens negative two.

GO NINERS!!
