NFL Playoffs: Who Are You Rooting Against?

[Jack Burton]

Falcons were pathetic.

I don't root against anyone, life is too short.

Once my favorite team gets eliminated, I look forward to next year and hope the remaining games are entertaining.

Congradultions to Mike McCarthy and the Green Bay Packers. Now if the Bears can hold up their end, it will be Packers and the Bears in Soldiers Field for all the NFC marbles. In all their storied rivalry, they have rarely met in the post-season.

I thought that hold during the punt return that negated the Raven's TD was bogus when it occurred, and so do a few others this morning. Just a good piece of acting. Where he had his hand, if that's a hold, then refs could be throwing the flag on practically every play for that, yet don't.

But still..... how can you let Brown get behind your backs in the waning minutes for a 58 yd pass that sets up the winning TD? Geez!

[RedsBaron]

That was a bad call, but the way the Ravens offense failed to show up in the second half it probably didn't matter. The Ravens were going to lose no matter what.

I thought the officiating was poor on both sides of the ball - questionable calls made and some missed as well. I doubt it influenced the outcome as both sides were equally mistreated.

I hope tonight's game is close but think ultimately NE is 2-3 TDs better.

Looked like his right hand was pulling the jersey on the Steeler players' shoulder. Ticky-tack, but once the ref sees the jersey being pulled it's pretty much automatic. The still would've scored if Boldin didn't drop the pass in the endzone. Add to that Housh's drop that effectively ended the game. Ravens were horrible in the second half.

This years superbowl, AFC in a blowout.

I don't think any defense could overcome that 2nd half Baltimore offensive performance.

I think Green Bay can hang around. Even with the Pats.

Ravens 3rd quarter: 4 possessions, 0 points, -4 total yards, 3 giveaways & 3:47 time of possession. Now, I am sure the Steeler D had something to do with that, but they aren't that good.

agreed. I think a Pats-Packers SB would be highly entertaining.
