Super Bowl XLVII - Sunday Football: Baltimore Ravens @ San Francisco 49ers

There's a thread about that in the nfl forum, really not football discussion, but whatever.

I just think it's funny they were arguing over soy sauce and underwear!!!! OMG, classic!! Easily the best thing I've ever heard 2 people argue over!

[lolPhillies]

Dude soy sauce is a big deal. If you put your hands on my Kikkoman we could find ourselves exchanging fisticuffs.

That's pretty much how I envisioned the argument went down. Oh and don't be using my underwear!

[theproof]

I don't know his name but this one guy on the NFL Network is all over the Ravens and Ray Lewis's nuts. It's actually sickening to listen to. I can't wait until Sunday so that we can shut some of these guys up.

Two things tho. Suggs isn't the same player right now, and Snyder/Chilo are long gone.

Well according to this analyst, Suggs is going to be the old Suggs in this game. Apparently, he's been watching Suggs waist week to week and he's noticed that he's been getting smaller. I'm not even making this up.

Ohh Boy, Guys...save me....save me....I'm looking at you lolPhillies... don't let me fall into that Patriots trap I was hopelessly victim to.

I liked how we matched up with GB and I took us. I liked how we matched up with Atlanta and I took us. Straight up vs. straight up, I think we're the better team. But knowing that winning the SB can be all about key things breaking the right way at the right .... I feel like it's advantage Baltimore TALK ME THROUGH THIS CRISIS!

But when I look at some of the keys to postseason and SB success....so many things are breaking Baltimore's way....

-Play Defense

This postseason, Baltimore has held the offenses of Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady to a mere 14.3 points per game. Alternatively, in their last 4 games against playoff teams, the 49ers have allowed 31 points per game and as Sando illustrated well, are getting beat by the deep ball like never before. The deep ball is Joe Flacco's M.O.


-Get great QB play

I'm going to get heat for this one because yes, Kaepernick has been great, but Flacco's 8 TD/0 INT postseason ratio wins. *HIDING*

-Win the turnover battle

Baltimore's 2.7 turnovers per game are the best in the playoffs. You could say: "Hey now, the 49ers' 2 per/game is nothing to cough at" . Sure, until you realize how those turnovers came. Two fumbles? A muffed punt and a botched snap. In other words...*Unforced Errors*. The interception Rodgers threw...he had plenty of time and inexplicably overthrew his man by a MILE. Turnovers are turnovers, and what's done is done, but the status quo is banking on unforced errors from a QB who hasn't turned it over once this postseason.

-Disrupt the passer

Baltimore has recorded 6 sacks this postseason. The 49ers were unable to get to Matt Ryan, and only recorded 1 genuinesack on Aaron Rodgers who traditionally takes many. Aldon Smith hasn't recorded one since week 14, and when these two teams met last year, the Ravens tagged Alex 9 times. I understand Kaep is less susceptible, but not immune. Meanwhile, one of the side stories is how the Ravens have recently made some effective changes and their offensive line is peaking.

That's all on TOP of "Win one for Art...Win one for Ray..."

TELL ME WHY I'M WRONG!!! Save me from Patriots Game-itis....

[RedandGold_35]

Bruins, every game this postseason there have been a ton of reasons we weren't going to win. Rodgers trumps Kap, Ryan trumps Kap, we won't be able to keep up with these offensive teams, young QB will crumble under the pressure of his first playoff game, young QB won't be able to win on the road, no way they recover from that pick-6, no way they come back from 17-0.

The list of reasons why we won't win each week continue to pile up, but we continue to overcome all these odds.

As to the bolded, those are all very very one dimensional offenses, we are about as hard team to gameplan for as there is right now.

As to the Thanksgiving day game, has no bearing on this one at all. Boone has been 10X the Guard that Chilo and Snyder were and that's where all the pressure in that came from.

I'll be repin the Red and Gold once again, can't wait!!!!! I have been waiting on this a long time, had these tickets since October.

We're tailgating all weekend up until the game -- all are invited if you're in the Big Easy.
