Didn't even go to Rutgers but I still love Ray Rice. Would be awesome for him too get a SB ring but I'm loving the niners.
And MWH was right...I can't believe Randy Moss never got a ring, he's quite deserving.

Well I am impressed.
Ravens may not have been a very good team but we know all you need to do these days is get hot in the playoffs. Clearly playing motivated for Ray Lewis and

Should be a decent SB, probably not a defensive struggle but hopefully some. Neither has a super explosive offense, well not consistently, should be good!

Not my favorite, the 49ers, where was the falcons
 run defense, they ran Gore on the same play for 14 points. Sucks.

Yup.
We all know the Niners have a great defense, but really...considering how great he often is, a little funny how Ryan can't seem to close. Could've easily put San Fran away.
Ah well the better team took this one.

Congrats to the Niners!! Hope they win the big game too, since that'd mean beating the Pats or having Lewis' big finale fall just short! Big smile

Tell me about it.  Ugh.

I've resolved to not attach my sense of self-worth to the outcome of this game.  I can't handle another heart attack like last week.

Yeah my faith in the Falcons is still quite low. They're doing it again, hot start, can't close and now can't step up with the game wide open. If they win and have to face the Pats it's game over. Sheesh, Ravens better not f**k this up, the G men are out so we don't have them to clean up the mess you in the AFC make :P

If the Falcons manage to hold on they might as well hand out the Lombardi at the AFC Championship game.  Ugh

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for. With the pressure on Matty Ice, ironically, still has yet to really impress me.
Kudos making the two huge passes when needed but can also give some flak to Seattle for allowing it when it was clear that's what they were gunna do.

We shall see. Falcons, Niners and Ravens would all be cool, honestly just want the damn Pats to lose lol

Still early.  Remember how the second half looked entirely different last week against Seattle.

Well, wouldn't have been my preference but obviously have no choice now but to root for the Ravens.
Clearly they are playing better than they really are thanks to rallying around Ray, and hey...whatever it takes. It's all about momentum these days.
Besides, that's what you can do when your teammates actually like you...unlike when Tiki Barber triedLOL

GO NINERS!
Falcons are still weak

I'll say SF and NE to win this weekend. Don't really care who wins for the AFC...but damn would I like Atlanta to kick ass tomorrow.

Eagles need to dump Vick. He's a turnover machine who, even when his offensive line was healthy, kept throwing up bad passes and fumbling at will. Foles is raw but has a great arm and seems to read defenses well. He was actually decent as a rookie considering he was thrown into the fire and seemed to improve as the season progressed. No brainer, stick with Foles and get rid of Vick. I'm sure Buffalo or Arizona would want him.

He's a college coach and, outside of Jimmy Johnson, college coaches are duds in the pros.  I think if the Spurrier comparison is unfair, at all, it's because Spurrier was much more accomplished when he tried his hand in the pros.  Oregon had a gimmick offense that will translate into the NFL about as well as it translated into success against SEC teams.

There's no comparison between the two. They're completely different.

I'm setting the over-under at 3 seasons for Chip Kelly.  His offense should translate into NFL success just about as well as Steve Spurrier's did.
