Re: NFL Playoffs
Ravens had their chances in the end. Lee Evans shoulda had a game winning touchdown near the end but couldn't hold on, even though he had both hands on the ball. And then Billy Cundiff pulls a Bill Buckner(sorry Bill, you were still an amazing player)and couldn't kick a 32-yarder.

Re: NFL Playoffs
Heartbreaking conference games, the opposite team could've won in both instances with only slight bits of execution or planning changing. The Ravens offense is unbelievably predictable. 1st down - sweep run. 2nd down - go route to Smith. 3rd down - try to get someone crossing over the middle, then when they cover the middle of the field, punt. They need a new coordinator. Like the Jets, it's hard to tell if the QB is bad or if the system gives him no opportunities to be great.
Also, as a Bills fan, Lee Evans dropping the ball in the end zone was appropriate. I would've predicted it if I thought they'd throw to him in that situation. And I love Lee, always have. But Buffalo guys choke, especially against the Patriots.
Re: NFL Playoffs
I have to admit, the Giants scare the hell out of me. I would have much rather faced Alex Smith and the 9ers. I'm not feeling ultra confident right now, we'll see if that changes in 2 weeks time. Not that I don't think the Patriots can win. I think it should be a close game, anybody's game really. But the Giants are probably playing the best football right now. They're a more balanced team, very good on both sides of the ball. They're better than the Ravens, who the Patriots just barely disposed of. And the Giants have a pretty good recent track record against the Patriots and Tom Brady. So all in all, I have a lot to be worried about.
