What a game! Double OT. Manning throws a pick to put the Ravens in control. I almost felt bad for him after the career year he had. Almost.

At least now if the Pats beat the Texans the AFC Championship will be in Foxboro. I'd still rather play the Ravens here than the Broncos in Denver. I think. Maybe.

Plenty of blame besides Manning today. The defensive mistake by the safety on the Ravens last touchdown has to be on the short list for the worst play in NFL history. Third and long, 8 guys in coverage, no timeouts, 30 seconds left - and you give up a 70yd TD?

Atlanta comes back to win it in in another good playoff game. Two out of three have been close this weekend. Pats and Houston up next.

I work with a Falcons fan. After the second half, I wonder if he has any fingernails left?

I think I'm going to be biting mine soon too. The Pats defense looks like it is starting to unravel a bit and the offense has stuttered a bit too. Second half is ready to start.

I can't watch.

Not because I'd be a nervous wreck, but more because affording a divorce lawyer would cut into my cookie fund.

I think Spooky's fingernails are safe ... for a week.

It did get a bit worrisome watching that 25 point 4th quarter lead dwindle. But a win is a win. Baltimore comes to town next Sunday. Baltimore played with fire and passion and they are on the upswing. The Pats have to play better than they did today to beat them. The NE secondary can give up 300+ yards to any QB. The big plays they gave up has scared me all season. And we lost Gronk till next season. I guess a broken arm doesn't heal well in 6 weeks.

Keep the faith.

The Pats did well enough without The Gronk when they had to. And maybe the Ravens had their Big Day yesterday.

I think they can beat Baltimore. I just wish the secondary would stop making every second tier QB look like Joe Montana.

This is our year. Go Pats!

The Ravens are coming to town. I'm sure they'll be fired up like they were in Denver.

Shooting for 6 Superbowls in 12 years. Go Pats!

So NOT how I envisaged the Falcons vs. 49ers game starting out.

[Pooky 3,830]

But it ended the way I reckoned it would.
