NFL Playoffs and Superbowl

... but if the Steelers get down by a couple of touchdowns quickly (and that's very possible), then Big Ben has to try and keep up with Manning in a throwing contest, and, well, he looked very much like a rookie yesterday.

But will he look like a rookie next week? Look at it this way. The Ravens slowed down the Eagles defense and still lost while the Steelers then killed the Eagles. The Ravens slowed down the Colts offense and still lost...

There is a slight difference between the Jets defense and the Colts defense. Plus, the Steelers have done a nice job of scoring fast and firt and grabbing early leads. Look what they did to the Patriots.

But we get ahead of ourselves. Eagles of Vikings and Colts over Patriots are my predictions, but I'm really thinking that second game might go the other way......

Except it extended the kick and served no real purpose.

Erm, yes, it served the purpose I just wrote, to make sure the Steelers didn't have any time left for a kick-off return. Sure, it added 1 or 2 yards more, so it was a 43 instead of a 41 yard FG attempt. But as was evident, the distance wasn't the problem, since it had plenty of height, it just wasn't accurate enough.

When it was apparent that the Jets would run another play I really thought they were gonna go for lateral movement to hit Briens sweetspot plust they wanted the steelers to have no chance of a possession at all.

Anxiously awaiting the Pats - Colts game.

After watching the Steelers - Jets I'm glad the Patriots have Vinatieri.

WOAH! That HAS to be the luckiest TD of the season!!!!

Vikings have just been given a major, MAJOR gift. If they can't comeback now, and at least make a game out of this, they simply don't deserve to move ahead. Pre-challenge-NFL, this game is virtually over and the Eagles advance.

The NFC showed what we already knew, there was a huge difference in the amount of talent between Phil and Atlanta verse the rest of the division. The NFC divsional games have really not been that good. But I'm hoping for a hell of agreat Championship game. 4 times for Phily, and 4 different opponents...the last three all from the NFC south.

Woot gettin stoked for the Pats Colts game!! Vikings just scored but only 2 minutes left and it's running out fast. The Vikings just didn't take enough chances downfield I think.
