Super Bowl XLVII: San Francisco 49ers vs Baltimore Ravens

[Tailback U]

I forgot about Birk, I also forgot to mention Ngata who is one of my favorite players.

SF - Ahmad Brooks is severely underrated. This guy has made an impact the last few years whenever he got PT, I never understood why he wasn't used more, though. He is a ferocious pass rusher, strong as a bull and a huge motor as if he thinks he is white.

all 3 rookie QBs were eliminated and I told you they would be before the playoffs started.

I equate Kaepernick to when the Rams made the Super Bowl in 79 with Ferragamo.


He may look and be decent at the position but he is still young and inexperienced and it will affect the outcome.

Please stop.

Ferragamo's Rams were an average team with a great D that won a weak conference. Kaepernick has not faced one weak opponent in the playoffs and has played brilliantly with his legs, arm and head. Comparing him to Ferragamo is ridiculous.

The people Ray stabbed (allegedly) were gang members. People get stabbed in street fights every day. Someone got stabbed tonight in a street fight after the Falcons game. Not making excuses I just don't care either way. No fucks given about some random street bullshit.

Plus the family still trying to extort Ray for $$



^from same article WBTD quoted

I think you need to re-read the details of the case. He lied, he contradicted his own testimony, the cops caught him lying, he was there, some witnesses claimed they saw him throwing punches, one witness changed his testimony during court proceeding, was witnessed throwing away evidence in two spots and than finally gave into the DA for lesser charges for reasons I think everyone can deduce.

If everyone is so willing to give Ray another chance, than everyone needs to remember those two kids that were killed were never given the same chance to reform that people applaud Ray for. They were 21 and 24 respectfully, it's reasonable to believe they would have grown up.

Extort money? Better think again, Ray was found guilty on charges of obstruction of justice. That opens him up for a lawsuit, as he may not be directly at fault he is complicit in their deaths. That's our system, like it or not. And finally, prove they are still trying to get money because both cases that Ray willingly settled have a disclosure clause making it impossible to in your words extort more money.

Ray will never be honest about it, he wasn't that night and he never will. So, we can only make our own judgments.

I actually pay attention to history and trends while you guys still buy hype and forget year to year what happened in the previous one.

Right, because nothing new ever happens and history dictates the present.

um no, Atlanta and Green Bay were not great defenses.
it doesnt matter how good he is or you think he is. He is still an inexperienced player with a few games under his belt like Ferragamo was.

which to me makes it quite similiar. I see the NFC as the weaker playoff bracket this time around.

not as often as you want to believe

Piggybacking Tailback's post....

Frank Gore. He'll be 30 years old in a few months. Had knee injuries at Miami (including ACL tear) and didn't go until the 3rd round to San Fran. Now 8 years in the league, over 50 TD, nearly 9,000 rushing yards, 1x NFC rushing leader, 4x pro bowler, leads franchise in rushing TD. After his first postseason ended in disappointment last year, gets first shot at a ring.

The only guys who have more rushes and are still playing? Steven Jackson and his college teammate, Willis McGahee, neither of whom ever won a Super Bowl, either.

This is going to be a great game. So many have their first chance at a ring.

I'm jumping on the Raven's bandwagon..

GO RAVINS!

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

so bitter is the Rival for Redskins vs. Ravens.....
it will be painful cheering for the Ravens but i will focus on Ray Lewis retiring with one of the greatest Retirement Story's ever.....

and Flacco is destined to shut the media up in this spotlight.

I wish media would stop going on about the "read option" when it comes to Kaepernick they make out to be a gimmicky guy like Tebow even though in the Atlanta game I don't recall the 9ers using any read-option style of plays.

 

[Palooza]

I wonder who St. Francisco is rooting for.

I think you meant to say is "I dont recall watching Colin Kapernick start a game with the 49ers"

 

[JimLeavy59]

I wonder who St. Francisco is rooting for.

The team that is truly elite.

The team that is truly elite.

which one could that be?!

They used it a few times, Kap handed it off just about every time because the falcons kept contain. On Lamichael James' TD they used it and i believe on one of Gore's TD as well
