Super Bowl XLIII

[Mikekoz13]

I'm on the Ravens' Bangwagon.

I'd love to see an all bird superbowl....Cardinals vs Ravens.

I'll serve Turkey

Well you should be good at serving the Turkey since you watched the Raiders all year........ (ducking on the way out!!!!)

[THier]

Anyone wanna change any predictions yet?

I'm a die-hard Ravens fan but I have to go with Carolina..........

I'll serve turkey to everyone except Mike, who can eat crow.

Nice selection, old fart (not ducking as I leave the room....Mike couldn't hit the ocean from the beach  )

ALL BIRD SUPERBOWL...CARDS vs. RAVENS.

[Mikekoz13]

Ravens.....

............ that hurts SHCRO...... that really hurts

Awwwwww Mike, you know I love ya' (in an "arm around shoulder, reach for eighth kamikaze shot / beer chaser combo, glued to seats of sports bar" kinda way).

Let me make myself perfectly clear,, as of last night I will pick the RAVENS, as just about every "expert" has picked the winner of the Titans - Ravens game to take the Super Bowl. I wouldn't have picked them to do anything like they've done this year,, lets be realistic,, who the heck was Joe Flacco? I figure we would have to put up with Boller,, I was hoping for Troy,, but I think we have something here with Flacco. This RAVENS team is now a TEAM, not a strong defense to keep us in the game, and hope the offense doesn't screw it up. They defense now believes in the offense, the fans now believe in the offense, if we have a "weak" point now it is the lack of experience of the QB,, but come on,, you can't really still look at him as a "rookie",,, by definition,, yea,, but by poise, play, and maturity since game one,,, no way Jose' If it all ended with the Dallas game and no wild card,, I would have been ok with that,, if it end with the 'Fins,, oh well,, if the Titans would have beat us,, (they should have with the way they moved the ball) fine,, but the RAVENS do what they do best,,, somehow,, make it a win. So I will pick them to take the Super Bowl, if they lose next week,,, or in the SB I am still happier than a pig in slop.

ya Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are pretty amazing on defense as well as mason as receiever. i do think flaccos a little overrated though. even though hes played well in the playoffs.

Trust me GHOST..... Flacco is NOT over rated. I've wathced every Ravens game this year and this guy's maturity and poise has increased in every game. He has one of the best arms in the League and he will only get better as he gets more experienced.
If you look at the stats for his first seven or eight games and compare them to all games since then, the difference is remarkable. And that was when they stopped babying him so much and started to open up the offense.

This kid is a star in the making. If you don't believe me, go on line and look at some of the quotes that Tennessee's defensive linemen made about him after yesterday's game.

If anything he doesn't get the full respect he deserves, I'm NOT saying Ryan doesn't deserve it,, but Flacco not getting a single vote???

yeh ur right guys flacco is baltomores new quality QB.. its weird to say cause we havent had a good one for longer then a season...

but its really down to this last game here Pittsburg and Baltimore... this is my superbowl right here, getting the revenge the ravens want after 2 super close games with the steelers, and doing so by beating them in the afc championship is all i could want...

hell if the ravens make it to the super bowl thats just gonna be like having my cake and eating it too!

as for NFC id really like to see the eagles come out on top over arizona, just for the fact this may be the only chance i will get to see baltimore and philly play eachother in the super bowl... my dads a philly fan and im a bmore fan... yeh thats right alot of trash talkin goin on there

[Penguins Fan]

Well................
Flacco looked just like the rookie that he is.  Pittsburgh should have beaten the Ravens far worse than they did.  Thank Bruce Arians and a bunch of dropped passes.

I was mildly hopeful for an all-PA Super Bowl.  The Eagles blew it again.  Ed $pendell's favorite team performed just like $pendell has as governor.

The Cardinals are a formidable team, their 9-7 record notwithstanding.  Larry Fitzgerald - and ex-Pitt star - is the best WR in the NFL.  Warner looks like he found the Fountain of Youth.  Whisenhunt and Grimm coached for the Steelers.  Todd Haley's dad worked for the Steelers.  The Cards have a few ex-Steelers.  Should be a good one.

[marty22]

are we giving the 7 pts to the Cardinals?

[time2shine]

I would have never thought the cards from my beloved NFC West (..go hawks!) would make it to the Super Bowl.
Just shows you how tough the NFC West was, guys.  hehe...  Apparently, we were only worried about conference play.  lol

same as the steelers from my beloved AFC NORTH. (im a cleveland browns fan so this is heartbreaking)

[herronm]

Go Cowboys!!!!  wait...what happened, I thought the world's most talented team was sure to get in.

See you all next year.
