It was incredible how in both conference championship games the two teams that lost had big special teams errors that played a big part in them losing.
I’m not going to say that the whole blame should fall on punt returner Kyle Williams of the San Francisco 49ers or on the kicker Billy Cundiff of the Baltimore Ravens, but seriously I thought you guys were professionals.
I know these guys are still human and no one is perfect, but all kickers are paid for is to make field goals.
I would also understand if Kyle Williams only fumbled once, but he dropped the ball two times and both led to Giants scoring drives.
I just hate seeing a team lose because of a muffed punt or a kicker missing a 30-yard field goal.
This year has been the year of the quarterback in the NFL, and a perfect example of that has been the way Eli Manning has carried the New York Giants to the Super Bowl.
Eli Manning has been on a tear this whole year, and now his statement at the beginning of the year, that he’s an elite quarterback, doesn’t sound crazy at all.
Manning’s run has been great, whether it was rallying the Giants in a fourth quarter double-digit deficit against the Dallas Cowboys or leading the Giants to an upset victory over the Green Bay Packers.
The guy who’s been known all his career as Peyton Manning’s little brother might end up having more Super Bowl rings than the brother he’s always been compared to.
I’m really getting tired of the Pro Bowl, and other than them changing the week it’s played, it really hasn’t changed.
I got so bored I actually chose watching something else over football. I understand that it’s a great honor for players to be selected to the Pro Bowl, but the game itself is just so boring. Really nothing about it keeps me interested.
They need to have it mean something, like in baseball, or add skill competitions like they do for basketball. I really don’t care which, but they need to change it because it gets really boring watching this game.
Just make it interesting so I won’t change the channel after just two minutes of a pointless game.
On to a game that matters and is of actual importance.
The Super Bowl will be Feb. 5, and it’s a rematch of Super Bowl 46 when the undefeated New England Patriots lost to the underdog New York Giants in one of the greatest upsets ever.
The major difference this year has to be Manning, because this time he’s the quarterback coming in that’s on a tear.
The Patriots have been on a great run themselves considering they have one of the worst defenses, but never count out Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. As for my Super Bowl pick, I like the Giants to take it 27-23 on a last minute touchdown drive by Eli Manning, and Victor Cruz will be salsa-dancing his way to the Super Bowl MVP.
