49ers win 36-32...wow. Great game. One thing I noticed is how the 49ers allowed 32 to the Saints at home even though they got 5 takeaways...if they play the packers, that's not a very good sign. If they play the giants, they'll be playing for a super bowl I believe.

I missed that last play (the Pats were playing) But they showed the replay of it and HOLY DAMN, that had to have crushed the saints fans...

Yeah I stuck with it to the end because it was an awesome game and the pack weren't on next, turned just in time to see Brady throw his first TD and the Broncos first TO...uh oh for the Broncos.

I was kinda hoping for a Brees vs Brady SuperBowl, oh well.
I have to think the league/media would want a Packers/Patriots showdown now.

If the Pats score another TD I'm putting in a DVD. I don't see a miracle happening here for the Broncos.

YEAH PATS WOO!

Awesome, this year my boss has to buy me a pizza.

And hell of a game for the niners. My brother is a niners fan and he had to work during the game. He taped it, and had told everyone not to tell him what happened, and he won't check the internet or his phone. Good luck with that, bro.

This has probably been the most depressing 60 minutes I've watched. Oh well, next season I guess. Could care less who wins the SB, all the teams deserve to be where they are.

Ah it took the wind out of us.. But we are survivors..
Oh and if the refs had their eyes open the Saints would have won especially due to the helmet to helmet on Thomas in the beginning of the game which led to their TD.. That would have been 7 less points for the 9ers..

Still Kudos to them as their win streak will most likely end next week against the Pack.. And if the Pack does not finish them then the Pats will.

The Niners did a heck of a job keeping up with the Saints. BUt let's face it: the Saints lost that game. They turned it over 5 times and STILL had 42 points. If they have a good draft defensively, that it one really scary team next year. One less turnover and the Niners would have lost. But that was one hell of a finish.

Broncos- Pats...no surprise there.

Yeah 5 times.. With one being from a head to head tackle that completely knocked someone out.. That should have been a penalty and the niners should NOT have gotten the ball on that play (which they ended up scoring on).

Hopefully they get rid of the D coordinator Gregg Williams too.

So, uh, Green Bay. WTF Happened?

Uh.. okay... Did not really see that coming...

Goodness, what happened to Aaron Rodgers? I'll tell ya, if the Packers had won last night they would have brought a lot of attention to that late roughing the passer penalty. His helmet just barely tapped Rodgers in the back of the head at the end of the hit, WTF. Insert continued debate over protecting the Quarterback versus screwing over the defense.

So now we've got Ravens-Patriots and Giants-Niners. I'd love to see a Pats-Niners Super Bowl to make my brother's Super Bowl party more interesting, but I'll admit I'm worried. Out of all the AFC playoff teams, the Ravens have the fewing problems/weaknesses.

I just wanna say, from what I saw in the Packer game, they got away with A LOT. Several replays showed Packer lineman almost ripping helmets off of the Giants D-Line. Not only that, but Eli got nailed A LOT after the ball was gone. Most of the hits on him were A LOT more severe than that one on Rodgers that got called.

To say I'm ecstatic that they are out, being in the middle of Wisconsin, is an understatement.

Brother vs Brother (coach) Super Bowl? But damn... it's really anyone of the 4 left standing's to take.

I'm going with B-more for one last ride.

Some non-playoffs related news: the Colts fired John Caldwell.

Can't say I'm surprised, but I wouldn't have been surprised if they kept him either. This will complicate the whole deal with Manning and their possible draft of Andrew Luck, obviously.

Unless your team is one of the 4 remaining, you really have no room to act smug about anything. Refs gonna ref, so deal with it. Teams get home field advantage with the refs, especially if it's the saints or the pack. (if the saints played the niners at home, they probably would have won, just sayin)

Anyway, like wilbon just said on PTI I think a lot of things came together to make this happen. The layoff in all aspects (though rodgers cannot be blamed for the drops, he was off on a couple of his throws, and driver played his heart out and played the best out of anyone besides the oline), what happened earlier in the week with Joe Philbin, and we probably peaked too early this season. This all being said...Thompson needs to revamp the secondary and needs to get a DE, whether in the early rounds of the draft or through free agency.

As for the playoffs...I say 49ers and Ravens, with niners winning. With all of the crap Smith has gone through, he definitely deserves to win it. As for caldwell...not surprised. It's rare when you coach a 2 win team or less and survive to coach the next year, even with injuries and what not.

EDIT: Wow, Flacco is tied for most road postseason wins? Damn, that's impressive, bravo sir.

As much as I hate the Packers, I have to agree that the refereeing in that game was horrid. Conspiracy theorists have already decided that New York and New England are going to the Super Bowl. It's the matchup that the press and the media will make the most money off of allegedly, but that the rest of the country could give a **** about. I believe that the Ravens are the team that brings down the Pats, and the Giants will beat the Niners.
