NFL Postseason: Superbowl

It's coming down to the moment we have all been waiting for, the NFL Superbowl.  The match up between the Ravens and the 49ers could be titled as "The Most Relevant Competition" for the beginning of this millennium.  Let's take a glance at the stats for each team.

Defense

49ers - The best run defense in the NFL, lead by Sopoaga, the Hammer Smith Brothers, and the Line backer QB killer Willis in the second row pose a tough small yardage gain for the Ravens.  I honestly don't believe that the Ravens will attempt many running plays, as they are not going to see a whole lot of positive gains through that method.

The second and third tier defense played by the 49ers is the achilles heel for the team, which is where Flacco will have to exploit, if he intends to make large gains in yardage.  The ten to fifteen yard gains is where I see him going the most, with short post passing his most used play during the game.  The disadvantage for this offense for the Ravens will come down to the play of the left guard position, as Aldon and Brian Smith work that side to gain access to the QB.  Once access is granted, the flood gates of pain will force Flacco to shift his passing to the right side and middle areas of the field, limiting his attack plan, and opening up the possibilities for interception.

Ravens - The defense of the Ravens closely matches the 49ers for the run game, led by Ray Lewis in the line backer position, cutting short long run gains down to 5-7 yards a play.  The problem that the Ravens will have to deal with is the multi-prong attack formation that the 49ers use with Gore and James rotating the RB position, each with a unique ability to puncture the front line of the Ravens.

The second and third tier of defense for the Ravens poses a problem for the 49ers, as the Ravens will undoubtedly go with a zone defense, due to the competencies of the 49ers wide outs posing a short and long yardage ability.

This game will be won by the offense, but the victory will be defined by the defense of both teams. 

Offense

49ers - The 49ers offense consists of a "hit you everywhere" type of play.  Leading the wide outs is Moss, who has the most experience with Superbowl appearances, as well as the mentor ability and influence on Crabtree.  If the 49ers are to beat the Ravens through shear brute force offensive play, it will take a sidelines to sidelines methodology with equal amount of ground and pound from the RB's couples with short yardage to Crabtree, and Long yardage from Moss.

Ravens - Good luck

NFL Postseason Matchups: 49ers vs. Falcons

Definitely going to be touted as one of the most evenly matched teams to meet in the NFC Championship.

49ers - Frank Gore on the running game coupled with LaMichael James is one of the best running games in the industry.  Colin Kaepernick is the real deal, with weapons such as Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree, Vernon Davis, and Walker to round out the offensive threat. Defensively, the Smith brothers are back together, causing havoc and keeping half the offensive lines completely pre-occupied, so much so that opposing QB's have to look out for Patrick Willis coming straight up the middle one-on-one with the lethal linebacker.

Falcons - Also have the multi threat capability, but are more dependent on the air game than the run game.  Matt Ryan is a veteran and has the experience to put any team to the test, especially since the Falcons are the number one seed in the playoffs, stemming from an impeccable season.  I see the Falcons keeping the chip on their shoulder from not getting the respect they have earned throughout the season, and coming in with a large amount of vengeance.

It will be a great game, and a defensive battle.

49ers - 35
Falcons - 31

Alabama - Is a Crimson Tide something that a woman experiences once a month?

Who would actually win?  A Seahawk in battle with a Raven?

What is more dangerous, a cheese packer, or a pack of San Francisco Miners?

Can you get any more National Pride then to have a Texan battle a Patriot?

Here we go again.....

The San Francisco 49ers will play a bird herd in the NFC Championship at Candlestick, I think its safe to say that the miners will be shooting birds out of the sky

Here we go into the Sweet Sixteen, and the State of Kansas is contributing the Jaybirds and the Shockers, or maybe we should just combine them into a Shocked Jaybird?
