    Doesn't it feel like neither the Pats or Ravens really deserve to be in the Super Bowl? Granted they are 2 good teams, but one of them will have gotten there by proving virtually nothing. Each beat a team they should have and then each other.

    That two minute drill fizzled out big time...

    Guess it doesn't matter that NE are taking the knee.

    Good first half by the Ravens, but they definitely left some points on the field.

    Wow, Belichick calls for the kneeldown.

    Has he been watching a different Ravens defense than I have?

    Surprising end of the half.

    Exactly. They have moved it well on the Pats, and he has Brady. Dont get that decision.

    Belichick is scared, this could come back to haunt them.

    Strange decision by Belichick, but even worse from Harbaugh. Once they take a knee, you immediately call a timeout. If they take a second knee, call timeout again.

    Force a punt with like 17 seconds left. Then can have a block or a return

    it feels as if the Pats are lost in the playoffs again.

    They earned the right to having an easy road to the SB by performing well in the regular season.

    Not everyone is content with being on the road for every playoff game like the Jets

    Yup, poor clock mgmt there. What is the downside? They won't fake it there, and worse case you have the returner move out of the way and just let the ball bounce around.

    At least the Ravens are keeping it competitive. Hopefully the Pats don't go right downfield to start the half.

    I also thought the Gronk one was a completion. No idea why Simms was insisting he was out of bounds.

    I guess it's just the fact the Pats only had to beat Tebow to get a shot

    The Patriots are being outplayed so far, mainly because of Bradys bad play, the scorebaord doesnt show that though, Ravens GOT TO make a stop, no TDs, a FG is ok but they gotta wake up.

    One has the top Offense in the conference, the other has a decent defense. AFC was weak this year. Fucking Tebow made it to the playoffs for God's sake. I believe it is fair to see these teams playing the championship game
