    For the Niners I think the best matchup would be the Ravens I think. And it would make an interesting young v. old team.

    Though I would love that Super Bowl (since I'm also pulling for Baltimore), I can definitely see how that story line would get annoying* for many people.








    *This happened to me in the lead up to Super Bowl XL ("OMG, Jerome Bettis is going home!!!!"), which lead me to root for Seattle in that game.

    Well I think the likelihood of both those teams winning on the road is low. A bit worried about Kaep on a loud road game with how he played in Seattle.. but here's hoping.

    he won convincingly in the superdome, and there's seriously no crowd like seattle's. if anything, this could be where not pulling him out of that game pays off.

    Yeah I think Niners are going to destroy the Falcons. Ravens might keep it close, but the Pats should handles them.

    Well the Raven's don't have the kicker that cost them the AFC Championship last year, so who knows? Maybe they shock everybody next week (But I doubt it).

    Yes. Harbaugh v Harbaugh would be an annoyingly over-covered storyline. So would "Ray Lewis and Tony Gonzalez are both retiring. One will go out a champ." So would Tom Brady trying to match Montana against Montana's team.

    there isn't a storyline that wouldn't get old, especially because of the hype that always surrounds the super bowl.

    I'm pulling for the Falcons now that the Texans are out. I hate the Ravens because well they are the Ravens, Tom Brady makes me want to punch babies and the 49ers would tie the Steelers with most Super Bowl wins if they would win so the Falcons are left as the odd man out for me. So go Falcons I guess!?!

    I'm rooting for the Falcons even though they bested my 'hawks yesterday. But I think the Niners are the hotter team right now.

    i'm for the 49ers. i think they probably have the best shot at beating the patriots. since they already did it once.

    Has there ever been a Super Bowl where the starting QBs on each team went 1-2 in their draft class? (I would be talking about Ryan and Flacco here)?

    Billick is a smart guy but man, giving up his analyst and booth career for the grind of a HC job?

    There's been rumblings that Cowher wants back on the sidelines as well.

    I hope he never comes back. I know it's selfish :( It would be so hard for me as a fan to see the jaw on a different sideline than the black and gold.

    Yeah I would hope here never takes a job from Jerry Jones never gets someone like Cowher. With the way Jerry runs the Cowboys.

    Any job Cowher get's comes with GM duty I would think. I can't imagine working for Jones since he is very hands on.

    if parcells couldn't get jerry to back off, i doubt anyone could. kinda have trouble seeing any particularly big name coaches wanting to deal with the jerry headache for very long.

    Well, Bill Cowher did just deny the rumor that he started about him wanting to get back into coaching.

    He gets to pick his job, because he has no need to leave CBS. Had Atlanta lost to Seattle, I could have imagined Cowher's phone ringing and that job being of a lot of interest to him.
