Well, the two teams I wanted to win today won. I'm going for Baltimore even though I can't stand Ray Lewis. I know they tend to play the Pats tough but the way they took them out of their game tonight was impressive. I like both of the Harbaughs but John has been paying his dues longer so that's one reason I'm going for the Ravens. I also like Ray Rice and I want Flacco to get the credit the deserves. Plus they are reppin' the Easy Coast. That being said, I can find things to like about the Niners too but when I don't have a dog in the hunt, I usually try to weigh out the reasons why I'd like one team over the other. The Ravens deserve to be there though, going on the road like that the last two weeks and taking care of business. Either way, it should make for an interesting Superbowl, one that I'm glad that the Patriots WON'T be in :)



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Stop with the sour grapes. The best teams are the two that are left because they had to win all of those playoff games to get there. If the Seahawks were the best, they most certainly wouldn't have lost to the Falcons who, by the way, were beaten by the 49ers.

Hoping for a good Superbowl. Should be fun. Rol, I really liked the league. It was setup well and seemed to have it all covered. See ya next season.



I would also like to add that you did a good job with the league, Rol. You just troll the Bears too much.

It's too easy to troll the Bears though. It's cool though, I troll the Packers every chance I get up here in Milwaukee.... and there were a lot of chances this year

You're right, but my feelings get hurt...

Well, it was so fun on GAF to celebrate the Patriots losing. It is clear they are by far the most hated team in the league. I also had both teams I wanted to win do it. 

Looks like insomniac can represent the Ravens this round as I call the 49ers.

 

Oh yah and in this very thread I picked the 49ers to win it at the start. Of course, I did not see them having a rookie for a starter. Kapernick is really the elite Tebow who can run and throw.

No sour grapes here the two best teams rarely make it to the Superbowl.  As for the Seahawks their head to head matchups with 49er definetly proofed that they where the better team.  Also with just a bit of better clock management and decision making they could have beaten the Falcons by four points also so the 49ers win against the Falcons didn't proof anything.



Just wanted to say that Kapernick is not a rookie. He's 2nd year.

It does not matter a ton of teams could make an arguement they are better so it is fruitless to claim any are better other than the ones that went on a hot streak and got lucky at the right time to win it. If the playoffs had at least three games per playoff round we would get better results, still that is impossible in such a physical game. 

 

And finally the Rams being claimed to ter than the Seahawks and 49ers is one of the most laughable things I have read in this thread.
