LOL for real. What a joke. Steelers are going downhill and we're about to win the Superbowl  _________________

I've not been confident for either the Broncos or Patriots games, and I'm not going to change that now. Wouldn't want to jinx things.
I worry about how the Ravens will deal with Kaepernick scrambling out of the pocket and hitting some big runs. The front seven will really have to have a good game to keep him penned in, and shut down Frank Gore as well.
One thing with Kaepernick, he does make mistakes, and we know that the Ravens secondary has been taking advantage of such mistakes in this playoff run.
I definitely think the offense can score points, because the 49ers defense seems to be a little overrated, at least in terms of the amount of points they give up. Looking forward to Vonta Leach pancaking Willis and Bowman again, that's for sure. _________________

Our O-line has been paying great. Their front-7 is amazing. Key matchup of the game.
I feel our defense won't shut down their offense, but won't let them blow up either. _________________

This game Vonta Leach is going to show that he deserves every bit of that 3+ mil a year he's making.
Bowman and Willis are on the hit list. Cant wait! _________________

There are a lot of great match-ups I'm looking forward to in this game. Even if it wasn't the Superbowl I think this would have been the most interesting contests of the year for the Ravens. |

I definitely agree with you. Is anyone else strangely confident like I am about our O line vs their D line? I just think with McKinnie sitting out all season, he's loving his current situation. He's naturally lazy, sat and chilled all season, and now he gets the opportunity to put on a display (like he's done all playoffs) for a contract next year. K.O. absolutely manhandled a healthy wilfork, so I think he will perform well against a 70-80% Justin Smith. Oher at RT will take care of Brooks. So ready for this match-up! _________________

I'm actually far more confident in our O-line than most media 'experts' are. I wouldn't have been, a month ago, but they've really stepped it up in the playoffs, with McKinnie clearly motivated like he hasn't been all season and Osemele looking like a much better LG than he was RT.
Aldon Smith is the 49ers only truly scary pass rusher, and he's been quiet for the last few weeks. If McKinnie can slow him down, and Rice/Pierce hit their blocking assignments, I think Joe should have enough time to make a lot of throws.
If this O-line could shut up Freeney and Mathis, and then Dumervil and Miller, and then make Vince Wilfork completely anonymous, I don't see why they'll suddenly be swamped by the 49ers.
More worried about the 49ers offense than their defense. _________________

And... they've done it again. Tonight- A Ravens Battle Song.
I just watched this and their other Ravens videos again, it got me so hyped.
On another note, I wasn't really a fan of that Purple Reign song though... the best part was at the end... it's not as good as Black and Yellow. But maybe it'll grow on me... the music and hook weren't too bad, but the lyrics definitely weren't comparable to what Wiz Khalifa was able to accomplish in both 'catchiness' and poetic quality (not that Black and Yellow was poetically advanced in any manner). _________________

I hate you all! ... but good luck in the Super Bowl. I just hope it's a good game regardless of the outcome. |
