The NFL has just set their narrative. It's Baltimore vs. San Francisco.

Sorry, Green Bay.  The NFL is going another direction.  And you'll find that out in three weeks when you get another ass-whipping in San Francisco to seal it.

And what they had to do to get there.

First off, on first or second down on the set of downs BEFORE the ball got to the half-yard line, Russell Wilson throws the ball into double coverage in the end zone and nearly gets picked off.

That set gets to fourth down, and the pass is complete, short of the line -- perfect for Seattle, as the clock will probably run out on any return shot for San Francisco if they score.

IF they score...

Because after a spike, Seattle inexplicably takes a delay of game on second down, and then throws a ball eerily akin to that Clemson interception the night before!!

Now, you're a HALF-YARD from the division. HOW IN FUCK DO YOU TAKE A DELAY OF GAME in that position -- without breaking the huddle -- and no one appears to care, including Coach Carroll on the sideline!!!

And you just acquired Marshawn Lynch!!!!

EDIT TO ADD:  And now I'm hearing "They didn't want to take the 10 second runoff"...

THERE WERE TWENTY-TWO SECONDS LEFT.  I'd rather they take the ten seconds and basically say "WHEN we score with Marshawn, you aren't getting the ball back!!"

Then, on third down, holding/pass interference all over the place on the intended receiver.

EDIT TO ADD:  And that got through the replay review that the league could've initiated on it with the new rule!

And then on fourth down, the replay call was right, but the replay also clearly shows a clean helmet shot on the hit that left the Seahawk short of the line!!!

AND NO ONE BATS AN EYELASH!!!

So not only does Seattle take a blatant dive, but Refball on top of it.

Well, I now have my Super Bowl prediction at the start of the playoffs:

Baltimore 28
San Francisco 24
