2012 NFL season

[cpinney]

I was kinda hoping for a bronco pats showdown even as a pats fan. Thought i think playing the ravens at home might give the pats a slightly better shot at winning, regardless it will be a really close game. Pretty good week of games over all

[.curve]

I went 2/4 for picks this week dammit. Houston I was expecting a loss on, but Baltimore winning wtf.

I'm calling San Francisco v New England for Super Bowl, but a Haurbowl would be pretty awesome too, and is still pretty plausible.

[cpinney]

Yus. I think san fran vs new england super bowl as well. And in that game who knows who wins. Thought obviously i am biased and will be cheering for NE but still.

I want to say SF could take it. Brady is amazing in the air, but has no ground game and can't scramble for shit while Kaepernick has that zone read offense that is hard to stop.

Woodhead and Ridley have been great this year for the Pats.

[Fiction]

Only problem I'll have if NE and SF are in the SB is deciding which jersey to wear to the SB party... I love my pats #12 jersey, but I gotta rep the Willis! -First world problem...

NE has a pretty good ground game this year with ridley, woodhead, vereen, and sometimes bolden. Thought you are correct in brady's scrambling abilities.

[iSinnnn]

i think a haurbowl would be the worst possible outcome.. whiny diva coaches who think the game revolves around them

would like to see NE v ATL and then atl taking it in a close one.

[omier]

If NFL was like this, I'd watch it.

[MrJoey]

Fucking Dom Capers and not adjusting the defense when they started getting burned by Kaepernick. FUUUUUUUUUUUU.

To hell with all 4 teams that are left, hope they all burn in hell!

[Blindfire]

The Packers should fire Capers and hire Lovie Smith.

[Tasdik]

Super bowl will be Ravens vs 49'ers. Kinda cool that it'll be two brothers coaching against each other in the super bowl.

I'm torn as to who to root for.

P.S. 49'ers have never lost a super bowl. Ever.

[Blindfire]

The Harbaugh Bowl was the second worst outcome for the Superbowl.

Blindfire's Worst Potential Superbowl Rankings:

• Giants vs. Broncos
• Ravens vs. 49ers
• Patriots vs. Giants
• Bears vs. Anyone

Now I can't watch Sportscentre for two weeks lest I hear about how awesome it is that two brothers that throw tantrums on the field are playing against eachother in the Superbowl. On top of that the "God's Linebacker" slobbering will be insufferable.

The only positive to this outcome is that the Harbaugh brothers might get into a fist fight if a bad call changes the outcome of the game.

Almost forgot to include this:

[.curve]

Ugh, so we're stuck with a Harbowl after all. I am not happy

[Tasdik]

I just wish Taylor was doing the half time show.

[iSinnnn]

lol @blindfire. couldn't agree more (minus giants v broncos, that would have been epic as fk) sportscenter/sports radio/nfl anything is ruined for the next 2-3 weeks.

as a steelers fan i may just eat my fist. ravens and a HARBAUGH win or 49ers tying the steelers in SB rings and a HARBAUGH win.

it really doesn't matter who wins to me. the gif summarizes everything needed to be said.

[Tasdik]

That gif actually makes me want to watch it more.

Entertainment value ftw.

[cpinney]

Yeah not happy at all, harbowl is worst bowl.

[Blindfire]

(minus giants v broncos, that would have been epic as fk)

The media fluffing of both brothers would be awful. Plus it would be two weeks of "Who's more elite? NeckAIDS Peyton or pre-pubescent Eli".

The four players I hate in the NFL and why:

Ray Lewis

Spoiler!

Is that the suit that went missing Ray? Or is it the one you wore to testify against your friends? God's linebacker my ass.

Jay Cutler

Spoiler!

Cutty is just a douchebag. Plus he plays for the Bears.

Peyton and Eli Manning

Spoiler!

I just hate their faces.

[.curve]

But Peyton Manning is the man.

[Aventus]

I may be the only person that is happy as hell about the harbowl. You can't say Lewis doesn't deserve this win regardless of how you feel about his personal life.

[iSinnnn]

what? lewis already has a ring. moss/gonzalez on the other hand..

[Aventus]

Some people don't deserve rings

[Blindfire]

Tony Gonzalez is probably the most deserving player to not win a ring since Dan Marino.

[Fiction]

I thought your team had to win a superbowl to deserve a ring? Are we giving away participation trophies along with their multimillion dollar salaries now days? lol Those guys are going to be hall of famers either way.

Why so mad bout a coach throwing a little bit of a fit btw? It's a pretty emotional thing, and it's their lively hood. I've seen managers throw bigger fits at McDonalds for less..

Gonzalez is the best TE to ever play the game and he was stuck on KC then Atlanta. If he were to have played for a team that was of the quality required to win the Superbowl he would not only have a ring but his numbers would be even more ridiculous. He deserves a ring in the sense that he was never surrounded by players that could get him in a position to win.

I am not mad about Jim Harbaugh throwing a fit. I just bothers me when grown men act like children.

[iSinnnn]

it's a team game so it's inevitable that there's going to be a hall of fame caliber player here and there that just doesn't win one.. it's nothing new really. also fairly common for people to root for the veteran that has yet to win a ring if their favorite team(s) are no longer playing.

as far the 'baugh girls, not mad either lol. it's a little comical in a bothersome type of way. i can see people being able to find it humorous but i'm not one of them. you said it yourself, these people make millions of dollars. it'd be nice if they could at least act like grown men/professionals for the hour a week they're on tv. especially if they know it's a national stage like a playoff game. plenty of ways to show emotion without throwing yourself around like a rag-doll

Steven Jackson comes to mind.

Oh yes rest is poor soul. Also Larry Fitz, though he has been IN a superbowl, but now he has been stuck on garbage cardinals teams ever since.

[.curve]

Today is the day, my friends.

Any predictions on score?

SF 24 Baltimore 21 I think
