What a day, both games came right down to the wire and both should have gone to overtime, thanks Billy Cundiff. I did finally lose a game since the Giants won but 9-1 ain't to shabby, and I'm happy the Giants ended my run. As bad as it may be that I have to hear about the Patriots for two weeks, I'm very excited for the rematch. I will bleed blue on February 5th.
AFC --- First off, let me say this, Joe Flacco impressed me today. 22/36, 306 yards, 2 TD's, yes his one INT was bad but TFB gave it right back to the Ravens on the next play. He threw the game winning TD pass to Lee Evans and he dropped it (Former Bills luck), but he gave the Ravens a chance to tie it in the last minute. Next, even though his teammates didn't throw him under the bus, Billy Cundiff is a bum. That kick was worse than the Mike Vanderjagt kick against the Steelers in the '05 playoffs. To have your season end on a kicker shanking one has to kill you. John Harbaugh/Ray Rice/T-Fizzle's face looked just like the Colts players did in '05. Also, Tom F. Brady did not play his best game and I really don't know why. He only got sacked once. T-Fizzle (His new nickname, coined by #1 Patriots fan Matthew Lee) from Ball So Hard U was never heard from, in the biggest game of James Harrison's and LaMarr Woodley's career, aka SB XLIII, they combined for 2 sacks, forced fumble, and a 100 yard pick six, just saying. Either way Tommy Boy missed a wide open Gronk for six early in the game and never really seemed comfortable in the pocket. Props to the Pats though, winning ugly isn't a stat and that's what they did. 5 Super Bowl appearances since 2001 is incredible. I hate them, but I will tip my cap to that amount of success.
NFC --- My first loss of the postseason but, "I am 8-0 this postseason, I am due for a loss so expect the unexpected. Good luck to Giants fans, I am rooting for them." I love quoting myself. The Niners defense showed up. They are my favorite NFC defense, like wow. They never miss a tackle. They get to the QB (6 sacks, 12 QB hits). If they didn't hit each other they would create turnovers. Aggressive is all I'm trying to say. I also believe in destiny and all that stuff. This is the same exact story of the 2007 Giants. They stink mid-year, everyone counts them out, they got hot and sneak into the playoffs, they go on the road beat the Packers, Lawrence Tynes hits a game winning overtime field goal in the NFC Championship to get to the Super Bowl to play the AFC's #1 seed New England Patriots. We have all seen this movie before. However this time around, I think Eli is the best QB in the league (let that settle in your brain for a minute), I honestly believe that. He has the pocket presence, he's not afraid to take a hit, accuracy, and he has weapons. He will not be the MVP this year because Rodgers and Brees had better numbers, but Giant fans at least give him credit because you would have been 4-12 without him.
GIANTS/PATRIOTS II --- You are going to have to wait for my prediction on that one. Thanks for reading.
