Congrats.
As hard as it is for me to see the Patriots go to the Super Bowl - they did what they had to do to win the game. Especially in a game where Brady wasn't at his best. The defense stepped up big time for the second week in a row - especially on the final series.
And what a bummer of a loss if you're a Ravens fan.
Thanks.
Sometimes it's just enough.
And yes, I don't have any special hatred for the Ravens, so I feel for their fans after that game. But someone has to lose, and I'm glad it wasn't us.

There's no such thing as a lucky strip of a football. The fact is the Patriots made more plays than the Ravens, and that's why they won.
Do you think that is close, try being a 49ers fan right this second. We are 13-3 for season and at home at NFC title game and a team few thought would be here is pushing us into overtime.
I think all strips in football are luck based to an extent, i do think most times that is not a strip, and that receiver had very sure hands before, but what gets me is that if the receiver had gotten the ball on the 1yd line and the strip had happened inside the end zone it would've been a touchdown since he had control entering the plane of the end zone XD
At least they didn't lose after giving the ball away two times after punts like SF that ended up being the entire difference...
This season continues to be eerily similar to 2007...including an OT Field Goal sending them back to face the Patriots.
Should be some game.
Should be some game.

sorry man, when you've been to 5 super bowls in the last 11 years, it's easy to be confused.
I suppose I should have used normal English .
I meant that area in Tennessee .
i go t the gist. that is cool.
My early prediction for Super Bowl XLVI: Giants 24, Patriots 21--mostly because the Giants decide to do an "eat the clock" strategy with Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs running the ball a LOT with Eli Manning doing the occasional play-action pass.
3 points deciding the game at the end? Sorry, that's too close to skip the trip. You're just hoping the Giants don't turn up...
