Haven't seen much talk about the Harbaugh clash this Sunday. Interesting thing I saw on ESPN the other day: on read option plays 49er ball carriers get an average of 5.9 yards past the line of scrimmage before first contact with a defender. Yeesh.
I wonder what that number is without the green bay game? I think the ravens win, but i frankly wouldn't be surprised by any outcome.
I think San Francisco wins. The only way they don't is if Kaepernick (sorry if I am butchering the spelling) doesn't have a good game.
the 49ers D hasn't really been that great of late. Flacco could put up big points and we all know the ravens D will come to play (as much as a dislike lewis).
I feel like Flacco has been one lucky SOB in the playoffs. He throws balls that just hang up there that could easily be picked by the D, yet the receivers seem to get to it first. I don't think that luck can last.
I felt the same way actually, until this year. at some point you got to give the guy credit. i had a similar view of eli manning before his second SB.
I like the Niners. But I'm for the Ravens and a second triumph of 2013 for deer antler spray. 2013 is going down as the year of the deer antler.
I'm sticking w/ my earlier pred... That and the fact that the past two yrs SF defense has ranked among the leagues best, their LB Corp (Brooks, Bowman, Willis, & Smith) is (2012) #1, and Smith off the edge is a disruptor. Lewis and the Ravens run comes up short.
42-28 49ers win. I voted heads to win a free pizza. My squares are 0-2 and 6-5. Under on the Nationl Anthem.
