What a game! While I was pretty confident the Pats would win it, Baltimore was very good on both sides of the ball. Brady didn't look his usual self, so if it wasn't for an improved running game the Pats offense would have been in trouble. I think the Pats D did a good job against the run overall, but certainly not as well late in the game. Flacco had a good game & if it wasn't for the missed chipshot at the end, who knows what woulda happened.
I do not think Baltimore should have gone for it on 4th & 5, however.
I don't know who I want the Pats to meet in the Superbowl. On the one hand, I think they have a better shot against SF & because SF stunk for so long, I'd like that matchup. The other part of me really wants the rematch against the Giants, but the Giants may be the better team right now...
Hope the NFC championship is just as good as teh AFC one!!!
