NFL Super Bowl XLVII Champions: 2012 Baltimore Ravens

The 1080 on this is visually stunning. It looks as though the football players are right there with you. I love the special features section. I just wish they would of made it a bit longer in the segments. But overall, if you are a Ravens fan it is a must for your collection. Nice to put this one next to the 2000 Superbowl set which is only available on DVD. It does show segments for mic'd up as well as best shots (hits between players) during the 12 season.

This game was about to be a blowout until the power went out, then SF made it a close game that came down to the wire. Bizarre to lose power during the biggest sporting event of the year, but in the end the Ravens prevailed. In the aftermath, San Francisco fans have proven themselves to be the biggest group of bitter crybabies that I've ever seen from an NFL fanbase. Every fanbase cries "refs" at some point, but I've never seen it to this degree.

The non-call on Jimmy Smith nearly committing a holding penalty against Crabtree on San Francisco's final drive on 4th & 5 is their sticking point, however 49ers fans conveniently forget that in the NFC Championship game 2 weeks before the Super Bowl, NaVarro Bowman committed the same exact penalty (more blatant, actually) on Roddy White during the Falcons final drive to try to win that game, and that also did not get called and ultimately resulted in the 49ers winning and advancing to the Super Bowl (see link below). So if any Niners fans actually think that the Ravens "didn't really win" the Super Bowl based on that non-call, then they must also believe that the 49ers shouldn't have even been playing in it because the refs should have also called Bowman's penalty in the NFC Championship game, in which case the Ravens would likely have played the Falcons in the Super Bowl. Basically, most 49ers fans are either crybabies or hypocrites. It's a shame too because I used to respect the 49ers and assumed their fanbase was also respectable, but that's gone out the window in the past week.

Here's Bowman's hold on Roddy, for reference once you've watched this DVD:

Anyway, this was a great game that was fun to watch right down to the final minute.

Buy NFL Super Bowl XLVII Champions: 2012 Baltimore Ravens Now

I'm a pretty solid Ravens fan. I'm sure everyone who purchases this is as well. I just have to let people know what this is before they buy it.

If you are a casual fan you may enjoy this. It summarizes the season pretty well and gives the main events of the season. Almost like a 'cliff notes' of last season by someone who isn't particularly passionate about the Ravens.

If you are a pretty solid fan, you may want to purchase this just for memory's sake, but the film itself is nothing new. If you've followed the season, watched all the post/pre-game interviews, followed all the story lines, read all the articles on the ravens website, you won't see anything exclusive in this film.

In fact, I'm not sure but I feel that this was produced by the "NFL" not the Ravens organization and it really shows. It doesn't bleed purple and black like I thought it would. It failed to capture the high emotions of the playoffs, even the Broncos game which in my opinion was one of the best/emotionally back and forth games I've seen in a long time. They didn't even show the Ray Lewis dance after the Indy game which was a huge disappointment.
