That was one of the better open field tackles I’ve ever seen by a kicker.

I’m reviewing some Computer Science theory while watching a NFL playoff game. What a weird combination.

In other words, Go Bears!

What a BS call

Ed Reed was to blame

In other words, Go Bears!

Yeah, I couldn’t figure out why the announcers called it an incompletion at first, or why no one picked it up. It looked like a clear fumble all the way.

Ravens pouring it on on WTF plays

In other words, Go Bears!

by royrules22 on Jan 15, 2011 2:47 PM PST reply actions

Interesting – 21-7 and both offenses haven’t done much. Two touchdowns off of short fields from long (debatable) pass interference penalties and two touchdowns off of turnovers. Gonna be hard for Pittsburgh to come back from such a large deficit.

Nice work, Ravens

You’ve suceeded in letting the Steelers back into a game they looked like they had no chance of winning. Turnovers, FTL!

Wow

3rd quarter nightmare for the Ravens. I’m genuinely surprised at how rattled Flacco looks.

PR negated by a holding.... Sucks

Baltimore’s offense has driven 39 yards to score 17 points. Pittsburgh 54 yards to score 17 points. Welcome to the NFL playoffs.

Also, will this be the first game where we get to see the new overtime rules?

I barely care who wins this game. Moving forward they both have the same chance of success.

It’s all about Green Bay baby! And, failing that, Seattle. Beast Mode.

Why

is there such a thing as defensive holding on a running play?

Found it. He sat out for his genius foot comments.

That’s bullshit.

Amazing performance by the Jets so far

At this point (14-3 NYJ 7:35 left in 3rd Q), I’d be a little surprised if New England came back in this game. They do not have the look of a team that can score twice against the Jets’ D. Not today anyway.

21-3 maybe

14-3 is doable.

2010 New England Patriots = 1987 San Francisco 49ers

Great regular season, finished regular season on a roll, great quarterback play, heavy favorite to get to Super Bowl.

Divisional playoff facepalm at home.
