Playoffs, Yeah: Conference Championships

The games started early today, for me. I also woke up late and ran an errand before turning on the TV. Nevertheless, it is only the second half of the first game, 49ers and Falcons. The Falcons are up by ten points, and nothing matters before the half. Now, I like Atlanta, but not nearly as much as I like the 49ers, and therefore, I hope they are crushed by our track-star QB in the second half.

A missed field goal by the missingest misser in the NFL seems to have shaken the confidence of the 49ers. True, I am reading more than watching, but every time I see a play, the 49ers are screwing up. They caught a lucky break with an automatic first down penalty against the Falcons, but I'm starting to get worried.

--Time Passes--

Dare I say it, maybe they got their confidence back after that lost fumble? They forced Atlanta to go three and out, then started at their 40-something yard line for a touchdown to take the lead. Less than 9 minutes left in the game, can they hold on to the lead, and even increase it? Yes, oh yes, PLEASE!

So San Francisco won (yay) and now the Ravens are playing the Patriots. The Ravens are leading in the second quarter, let's hope they can add to it.

Well, this is just insanity, after a season where my ideal picks were trailing at as low as 19% some weeks, and averaged 45%, it is looking like the Super Bowl is close to my ideal predictions. Close, but not completely on. I wish the Packers had been the NFC representatives, but whatev. The Ravens are up by 15 points over the Patriots with eleven minutes left to go in the fourth quarter. Sure, the Patriots could still win, but it is looking less and less likely. The Ravens really need to step up defense, and then waste tons of time on offense.

--Time Passes--

Oh SNAP, it is happening! Woohoo, here is to a very watchable Super Bowl :D
