Smack talk.  |
I see alot of similarities between San Fran and Baltimore, elaboration ahead.
Patriots are more vulnerable than in years past, keep the faith. The Ravens defense is up there with the 49ers, and better than the Steelers, while Bradys line is not what it was in years past.
Ravens are one of 3 San Fran losses, and that is nothing to shake a stick at.
San Fran got 13 wins with only one "pretty" game, which was a 48-3 blowout of Tampa.
All the "pretty team, stat monsters" are pretty much gone. Right GB and NO?
Sure Flacco is not great (or the scond coming of Jesus, like Tebow), but he is adequate, (once again I draw the parallel to SF with Alex Smith. Defense, and takeaways wins championships.
Plus both are coached by a Harbaugh, which makes them awesome no matter what.
What a great superbowl story that would be. Like the civil war brother against brother! I am rooting for that outcome. 2 monster defenses facing off, neither team is the NFL's golden boy. I love the prospect of it.

Yeah the LSU thing was bad, my condolences.
The last 4 minutes of this game I cheered, screamed at my TV, and cheered some more, then screamed at Drew Brees. etc.
A phenominal playoff game, and would have felt so had San Fran lost, just keeping up with the Saints was a huge accomplishment.
Nothing to be ashamed of. I have a very newfound respect for Colston, and especially Sproles for his versatility. No team gave SF such a hard time this season, even in our losses, we didn't have to fight so hard. Roman Harper was in Smiths face all game which is why I got so happy the game ended with him being run over.
I know I smashed NO earlier, but much respect regardless. You guys are not going away anytime soon.
