Out of all the outcomes that could have happened in the playoffs this was the one I least wanted. Not because I have anything against Baltimore or San Francisco or their coaches, but because I don't want to hear about the Harbaugh family and the "Harbaugh-bowl" for the next two week to the point it gets ridiculous and driven into the ground.

I think it's great that we get this historic match-up. A Bro Bowl, a Har-Bowl, a Super Browl.
 
worst possible super bowl pairing for me but i'll be rooting for the Ravens, as the 49ers fans mostly bandwagon types and not real fans

It's interesting that nobody comes out and claims Brady is some kind of choker with the things that have happened the last couple of years. Of course it's a foolish thing to say, but the way people talk about others that have did similar things as he has done recently haven't been treated as good.

In any case I hope this is just another thing to dispel the myth of anybody having the skill of being "clutch".

I think the ability to perform stronger under pressure is a real thing. I've played in some important (to me) 8-ball tournaments and I was nervous as hell at the table and it affected my play. Of course, I'm not a professional who's been training my whole life for the big stage some of these QB's play in.

It's funny that the better Tom Brady has become as a QB, the less the Patriots have won.
 
Brady didn't play great, but yes it would be foolish to insinuate that he choked in any way. With 3 superbowl rings and numerous game winning drives, his reputation as being "clutch" is set in stone...The Ravens just have a better team than the Pats, They had a better team then the Pats last year as well...The wild card was just how Flacco would perform, and he has showed up so far in the playoffs this year.

If anybody choked I would say Matty Ice did by clutching his shoulder like a wounded animal down the stretch of the biggest game of his career...but again, I think San Fran was the better team anyways, but Ryan had a golden opportunity to ice that game and couldn't do it .

I think the two best most complete teams made it to the Superbowl so It should be a fun game and enjoyable to watch...A perfect opportunity for Flacco to cement his legacy and prove he is really "elite"...he's beat arguably the two best QBs in the game on this run, so it would be a shame to loose to basically a rookie in Kap. But the Ravens have struggled against mobile QB's like RG3 so it will be interesting to see which team can play their best game when the lights are brightest !

I'm really disappointed by Brady for that kick! I mean I don't like him anyway, but he's a great quarterback and this was just so ugly! Why the fuck did he do this? In soccer he would have gotten a red card!
