Yes, I admit it. I’m a homer. Who wouldn’t have wanted to see a Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh rematch in last years Super Bowl? They went after each other like brothers last Thanksgiving. Why not see them on the biggest stage? Easily both San Francisco and Baltimore have the top two defenses going into this season. What’s different is the array of new weapons that the 49ers have on offense. The Ravens sport the same offense, but with a more confident quarterback in Joe Flacco, who outperformed Patriots QB Tom Brady in last years AFC Championship game. I’ll listen to your arguments for a different Super Bowl matchup, but this should have been the game last year and it should be this year.
