NFL: Baltimore Ravens: Road to XLVII

This set includes the 4 games that made up the Playoff Run to Super Bowl 47. Each DVD has one game. These are the complete TV broadcasts without the commercials.This DVD set is a Ravens fans dream! Watch the UNDERDOG Ravens mow down the Colts, then send the top seeded Broncos to "one and done". Then up to Foxboro to exorcise the demons. And finally, cap it all off with one of the most exciting Super Bowl games ever.I cannot go 5 stars because we get no additional coverage or special features at all. It's the games only. No coins tosses, no player intros, no halftime analysis, no post game, no locker room, and no press conference out takes. Nothing. It's the games, the whole games and nothing but the games. The video quality (non blue ray) is good but not great.The Colts, Patriots and San Francisco games are announced by Phil Sims and Jim Nance and the Dever game has Dan Dierdorf and Greg Gumbel at the mike.As a lifelong Baltimore football fan (yes an old Colts fan too) I must say without hesitation that the win in Denver is now, The Greatest Game Ever Played! The Denver game will be watched by me at least 10 times a year until I die.This set has it all!1) Rays last game at M&T2) Rays, last "Squirrel Dance" on the last snap of the Colts game.3) The Denver game, what I now call the "Greatest Game Ever Played"4) Tom Brady leaving the field in disgust after being spanked by the 9.5 point underdog Ravens. (Did anyone ever believe that Vegas line?) The look on Tom Brady's face throughout the 2nd half is worth twice the price of this set!5) Jacoby Jones catch versus Denver, and 2 Superbowl TDs6) The goal line stand for the ages to clinch the World Championship that Baltimore fans will NEVER forget.7) Flacco...Flacco...and more Flacco liberally sprinkled throughout!In the Colts game we get Ray's last dance in Crabtown as the Ravens get a business-like win over the upstart Colts. Andrew Luck was running for his life all day and the Ravens say "Nevermore" to any Colts touchdown bid.The Denver game is an incredible game to watch. The lead changes and momentum swings make this the best game ever for Ravens fans,The Patriots game is a real treasure. While the Ravens are behind at halftime, you can tell the Patriots are being outplayed. It's really fun to watch the Foxboro faithful arrogantly assuming an easy victory, watch in stunned disbelief as Ray, and the boys give up ZERO points in the second half.The Superbowl features a great 60 minute football game that as we know comes down to the last second. A riveting game full of great plays made by great players.Each game is a treasure. THIS SET IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE for EVERY BALTIMORE FAN! Just in time for Father's Day!Ray Lewis: Thanks for the memories! The greatest on field leader and motivator to ever play, gets the grandest of send-offs.The number 52 has it's rightful place in Baltimore sports history next to Colts 19, 24, 70, 82, 88, and 89 and Orioles 4, 5, 8, 20, 22, and 33.

I picked this up for Christmas 2013. I watched all the games save the Wild Card game vs. Indianapolis, which turned out to be Ray Lewis' final home game and the beginning of his final ride, which culminated with his second Super Bowl Championship. Having these original game broadcasts, in full 1080p high definition video, as they happened during the 2012 postseason, is a fine time capsule en route to any team's title chase and subsequent championship. Re-watching Super Bowl XXXXVII the morning of Super Bowl XXXXVIII helped me to prepare for the action as a lead up that much more!!! This franchise is one which I respect so much that I decided to pick up, as a companion piece of sorts, besides the Super Bowl XXXXVII Championship Blu-ray Disc, the Greatest Games Series of the 2000 Ravens who went 12-4, and then on a defensive-oriented postseason tangent which culminated in their first Super Bowl championship, winning Super Bowl XXXV 12 years earlier. Each of these games are full of great memories of that particular time period and I am enough of an NFL game to own as many of these culminations as possible. Very well done indeed, NFL. Thanks.

I'm a huge Ravens' fan. This Ravens' team was not the best one that they've ever put on the field. Injuries and age at key positions had made them seem vulnerable. Their defense, customarily ranked in the NFL's Top 10, finished 17th, and at one point had been as low as 28th. The unit was one of the oldest, and slowest in the league. On offense, QB Joe Flacco was considered almost a liability and the biggest obstacle to victory.The Ravens were huge underdogs to the Denver Broncos, who had beaten them handily in Baltimore only a few weeks before, and the New England Patriots, who had lost to them by one point in Week 3 of the regular season. They were underdogs to the 49ers in the Super Bowl. If they'd had to play the Colts in Indianapolis, they'd likely have been underdogs in that game as well.The Ravens rose up as one, and overcame all of their shortcomings. Ray Lewis' last dance in Baltimore. The Mile High Miracle. the exorcism of the ghosts of New England playoff defeats past, Flacco's historic playoff performance (11 touchdown passes with zero interceptions to match Joe Montana), and the odd spectacle of the blackout in New Orleans. It's all here.

All 4 broadcasts are in hi definition quality. The crisp picture and sound are incredible. You can actually hear some of the hits better than the original broadcast. Maybe because it was so loud at my house during the game. :) A must own for any Ravens fan. It is set up like NFL Replay where one down is right after another....no senseless amounts of talking and watching the players walking around or standing around waiting for the next play. The intensity is there on every game even though you know the outcome. After watching these without being so uptight when they were originally broadcast, you wonder how the Ravens got past Denver. Unreal game. Its all there. Replays are shown on spectacular plays as well.

this collection contains each of the ravens four playoff games in their entirety. vs the colts, broncos, patriots, and 49ers, they're all here from kickoff to the end.each disc contains one game, but no special features or anything like that. Each disc ends right after each game, so don't expect to see any post game or pregame interviews or anything like that. They also cut out the 30 minute power delay in the superbowl game, beacause who wants to see that anyway.I bought this for my dad, since he loves the ravens and he couldn't be happier.This is just like the Greatest game series; 2000 Ravens, and they are both great buys for any Baltimore Ravens fan.

The good: If (like me) your a die-hard Ravens fan you've got to have this. All four play-off games to watch anytime!!The not good: The matches are a little disjointed with a lot on post play analysis taken out. The result is that some plays follow each other very (too) quickly. I you enjoy seeing crowd scenes and hearing more off-the-cuff comments or analysis between plays you may be frustrated.The bad - no post match interviews or trophy presentations for both the AFC of Superbowl itself. (hence 4 stars

El set es historia pura, incluye cuatro partidos de altísimo nivel en donde podremos apreciar a un equipo espectacular camino al SB. No soy fanático de Ravens, pero vale la pena ver el camino de Flacco, Jones, Pitta, Rice y Lewis para lograr el segundo Lombardi de la franquicia.
