How many goats to go around in this choke job. First off that absolutely irredeemable taunting penalty that took away a probable TD. Then the coach for wimping out on those field goals instead of going for it at least once.
Then, the worst was that Packer sliding on his interception when he should have gotten up and run which he had room to do. My gosh, a team that has 5 interceptions should always win.
Have nothing but respect for that gamer Rogers. That 12 yard run on one leg was heroic. Too bad his teammates let him down. Wanted GB to win but have to hand it to the Hawks – they hung in there and made it work.
As for Brady and Co, hard to believe people were talking “”washed up” at the start of the season. They looked like a juggernaut yesterday. But Luck just doesn’t have the D to help him in big games.

I agree Patti, you guys have nothing to hang your head over. But even when the Ravs were up two tds I still had the feeling Brady and Co would pull it out. But wow Flacco with those 4 Tds so impressive. I think if you didn’t have those defensive injuries might have been a different outcome.
NE being at home is a big advantage and looking forward to the Colts/Broncos. If the Colts win it will be all Luck because otherwise I don’t think they are strong enough in other areas. Denver is oh so tough at home so it will be a hard assignment for Indy.
Meanwhile as I sit here it seems Rex Ryan will be our new Bills coach. After years of no name inferior coaches, new management (and deep ockets) decided to go for a bigee. Whether it will be a good fit we will see next season.

Patti, your Ravs just seem to come to life during the playoffs. Now granted the Steelers were without their star RB but as you point out Baltimore is the wallking wounded. I think a big mistake by Tomlin was allowing Ben to return right after the concussion protocal. The backup QB had something going on and well could have scored a TD and then wouldn’t things have gotten interesting!
Now the Ravs must go to NE where the Pats rarely lose. I would love nothing better than for your guys to knock off the Bills’ longtime rival.
Speakng of Buffalo, talk about end of season happenings! Out of nowhere QB Orton retires, and then Coach Marone. He had a clause in his contract where he had a three day window to abandon ship with $4 million to be given him for doing nothing!! Who on earth negotiated that bonehead out? It’s not like Marone was some hotshot coach when he signed on two years ago. I cannot believe the Bills brass agreed to that! And Marone showed his lack of class by saying nothing when he left. Good riddance – it was not Marone’s brilliant coaching that got the Bills on the winning end, but all defense which he had nothing to do with. Another newcomer in a revolving Bills coaching door. Please, just get us a capable QB and someone who is a bit more aggressive in offense approach.
