This weekend showed true character in who wants to win these playoff games and to never give up no matter what the circumstances are. Out of the four playoff games i was correct in three out of the four games which is pretty good in selecting football games. The one team i think is playing with alot of confidence is the Baltimore Ravens they showed me alot of heart and desire in never giving up in the game. They made the plays when it was necessary and there opponent the Denver Broncos just had been outplayed and made the unneccessary penalities that they usually dont make. Ray Lewis's career continues on to next weeks AFC championship rematch against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots who i think this time the ravens will come out victorious. I know they are going to be a very heavily underdog to the Patriots but with the confidence they have coming out of Denver this is will a different outcome of how the game will be. Joe Flaco before the season started quoted by saying he thought he was one of the best quarterbacks in the league and put himself in the category of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Joe Flaco actually played a great game especially the last drive of the game to be able to take them down the field and tie up the game with a touchdown who he found Jacoby Jones down the sidelines against Champ Bailey. I think it is time for Champ Bailey to possibly play tighter coverage rather than giving the five yard distance between him and the reciever. The Ravens defense made numerous amount of stops just to keep the team in the ball game. The three future hall of famers Terrell Suggs, Ed Reed, and of course Ray Lewis conducted the veteran role perfectly in making sure the defense was on top of things. They made Peyton Manning feel very uncomfortable and made him throw a huge interception late in the first overtime which lead to the game winning touchdown. I think next weeks game will be a special one that will go right down to the wire. With the Patriots game i really couldnt give to much detail because the outcome of the game was what i thought it was that Brady just dominated from start to finish.
Now onto the NFC side of things Both games were good but i think one team got very lucky in making it there. San Fransico 49ers gave an excellent showing on both sides of the ball especially on defense in making Araon Rodgers feel very uncomfortable. The one person who i think was very impressive who i havent seen much of was 49ers quarterback Colin Kapernick who had over 100 yards in rushing by himself and hd the offense rack up over 400 yards in total offense. he looked like he has done it before. The big playmakers of Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree came up big with having a pair of touchdowns a piece. Green Bay Packers really didnt show much heart because after they were down 14 points they seemed like they gave up. John Harbough seems like he has this team determined in getting over that hump of taking the next step in making it to the Super Bowl and winning it all. Next week i think they will be able to take the next step and head to the SuperBowl down in New Orleans. Now to the team that i thought got lucky today was the Atlanta Falcons who had a substanial lead in going to late in the game. Give credit to the Seahwaks who showed heart and leadership especially from Rookie Quarterback Russell Wilson who brought his team back and lead to almost an amazing comeback. The Atlanta Falcons are almost there in being SuperBowl contender they just need more help on defense. I think next weeks NFC Championship game is going to be either a battle or a slaughter because one of the two teams is very hard to handle. I think Seattle shouldnt feel upset they should hold there heads up high and use this momentum for next season. The Seahawks are going to be a good team from this point on, they have a bright future ahead of them and should be interesting.
My predictions for next weeks championship sunday are the Ravens over the Patriots and the 49ers over the Falcons. I think both road teams are matched up equally against the top seeds that are left in both divisions. I think next weeks games are going to be very special and we are going to see something very special. I will be on later in the week after watching this weeks college basketball big games we are defiently going to see a new number one team in the country which is the Louisville Cardinals. I think now with Kelly out for the Duke blue devils they will have trouble at the power forward poisition. Leave me some feedback in what you think and what you would want to hear on my blog. Everyone have a great week and see you later on with more sports talk.
