Wow, one and done. Broncos are out of it.

That was a great pass to tie it up at the end of regulation.

That was an awful pass that should have been intercepted, or at least knocked down.  The defenders just misplayed it badly.

Well he found the open receiver which is what he was supposed to do. The Broncos playing bad defense was just a part of it. I'm still not sure how you can rush 3 drop 8 and still give up a 70 yard TD.

There were 2 defenders right there.  He wasn't really open.  Flacco threw up a prayer and it just worked out for them.

He looked pretty wide open. The defender tried tom jump and reach out and still his arm was over a yard away. His body was even further away. In the NFL that's open.

Check out the picture here.

Let me quote myself, "How do you misplay a ball on defense that badly? It hung in the air forever."

He misjudged the flight of the ball and let it go over his head.  He had plenty of time to get back, but didn't think the ball was going to travel that far.  He could have easily taken a different angle, but just didn't.  The defenders completely misplayed it.  You really have to watch the video to see how badly he played it.

I didn't expect either 49er or Ravens to win. That being said the 49ers win was less of a surprise since the Packers didn't look too impressive in last weeks win over the Vikings.

Broncos loss was entertaining, tie game 5 times then lost by a field goal...

Kaepernick was being ridiculous against the Packers. Was like 180 rushing from the QB and record breaking. I got to say the 49ers Offensive defense was way better then Packers.

So this weekend Joe Flacco outplayed Peyton Manning, and Colin Capernick (sic) outplayed Aaron Rodgers.

Can we thus safely expect that Matt Schaub will outplay Tom Brady tomorrow?

#1 seed, 13-3 record, won 11 in a row, but still out in the Divisional Playoffs. Must be a new record.


Not really last years Packers did worst they didn't even come close to winning their playoff game and they had a 15-1 regular season.  Plus they won 13 in a row to start off their season.

Joe Flacco has a better receiving core, the only reason the game was even close is because the Ravens played very poor on special teams.  The 49ers are just a better overall team and that season opening win against the Packers wasn't a fluke.  I doubt that Matt Schaub can win the game for the Texans.  If they want to win against the Pats then their defense has to show up and Arian Foster has to have a very good game (over 125 yards).

I don't care what happens now. Packers lost and all is right in the world.
