There was some pretty darn good football played this
weekend.
Following the Ravens
2 OT upset victory over the Broncos, San Francisco 49ers QB
Colin Kaepernick put on a one man show in 49ers 45-31 victory over
the Green Bay Packers. Kaepernick not only threw two touchdown
passes for 256 yards he also had 181 rushing yards including a 56
yard rush touchdown. He was channeling Steve
Young.
The 49ers will face the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Final next
Sunday. The Falcons looked like they were going to wipe the floor
with the Seattle Seahawks with a 20-0 lead at the half. But the
Seahawks roared back and took a 28-27 lead in the final minute of
the game before the Falcons regained the lead on a Matt Bryant
field goal. Incredibly, the Falcons botched an onside kick giving
the Seahawks new life. But when the Seahawks failed to get into
field goal range, QB Russell Wilson threw a Hail Mary pass that was
intercepted in the end zone to bring Seattle’s season to an end.
Look for the 49ers to beat the Falcons next weekend.
Despite Rob Gronkowski rebreaking his left forearm, the New
England Patriots dispensed with the Houston Texans 41-28 and shall
face the Ravens in the AFC Final for the second year in a row.
Given that Ray Lewis plans to retire at the end of the season, I
think this will give the Ravens the edge over the Patriots.
So yes, I see a 49ers-Ravens Super Bowl. Which would mean the
Harbaugh brothers face off in the biggest game of the year.

Brady will own Flacco...no way Ravens win...Brady has more playoff experience.

Janebrett, go back and look at the stats from last years AFC Championship Game. Flacco QB'ed circles around Brady and should have won the game but for a scoreboard erropr that rushed the Ravens kicker into missing the game tying FG at the gun. Flacco owned Brady. Look it up.

Flacco couldn't even beat Appalachian State when he was in college. How's he going to beat the New England Patriots in the NFL?

Was thinking about the College National Championship and remembered how Notre Dame University covered the cross when Obama came to town. It looks like God paid them back and helped Alabama block the goal line.

Yes, The Crimson Tide did roll over the grovelling scum of Notre Dame. That's Notre Dame's new nickname: The Grovelling Scum.
