Just wondering if the Ravens were a wildcard. They really just didn’t seem like Superbowl material. Although a good record, they looked very shakey all season as opposed to a dominant team on the gridiron.

Thanks for the thread bump! Actually, I thought I was in Cafe Society, and being an old timer, I forget about the Game Room. …although I suggested such a new board ages ago.

Yes, the Ravens were a wild card team. Which is, of course, easily answerable by web search in less than the 15 min. it took someone to actually provide a link to an answer. 😛
