NFL Conf. Championships: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

January 27, 2010

And then there were two. Being one of them was the prize this week. The early game saw two teams play pretty well, with the game taking two distinct characters. The first 28 or so minutes was played much to the Jets’ liking, and the scoreboard bore that out. The final 32 minutes were played [...]

NFL Divisional Round: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

January 19, 2010

It was the NFL’s version of the Elite Eight. In reality, four of the teams did not look very elite. Once again, the first three games of the weekend were varying degrees of non-competitive.

Every now and then, usually as the playoffs approach, there is a week like this week. There were really only a handful of notable Goods, Bads and Uglies. Some playoff contenders won but were unimpressive. Others lost, but weren’t particularly notable other than they didn’t take care of business. Sometimes things just go that way, [...]

One more week is in the books and the playoff picture is arguably less clear than a week ago. Indy is in, so is New Orleans as is Minny. San Diego is not mathematically, but is for all practical purposes. All four took care of business and have established their credentials for a post season [...]
