NFL Playoffs 2014-15

Can't complain about the start in Foxboro.

When Wilson threw that pick down 12 with 5 minutes left, I said " Oh good, that seals it".

Me too.  I texted a friend "Game. Set. Match."  One of the worst chokes or best comebacks ever -- depending on how you look at it.   GB had a third down conversion in the receiver's hands, and also the on-side kick in hand -- so I go with it being a choke for the ages.

As much as I hate Seattle, I don't want to take anything away from them—they took advantage of their opportunities.

But that was the WORST choke job I've seen in a loooooooong time. And I think the Pats' chances of winning the Super Bowl just took a nosedive.

Maybe.  In the first half, with the run game, defense and Rodgers looking healthy, GB looked pretty formidable.   Richard Sherman's injury will be interesting to see - and will likely have an impact on the game. Without Browner and Sherman, this is not last year's Seahawks.  Not hoping he's hurt, but it will be a big story line over the next 2 weeks.

He's got 2 weeks to recover though, I think he will be fine.

Pathetic that the Packers never tried attacking Sherman when he was playing with one arm. DIDN'T EVEN TRY.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure Sherman will be fine. Because that's how things go with the teams I hate.

Looked like it has to be something more than a bruised hand/wrist...   He was trying pretty hard to protect it. 

I was wondering the same thing -- why not go after him.  Make him make a play on the ball -- make him have to make a tackle!   Amazing lapse in judgement by Rodgers and coaching staff. Unless Sherman was playin' possum.

I, too, wondered if he was playin' possum, but trainers kept tending to him on the sideline. And the replay clearly shows that his arm got pinched between his teammate's helmet and the Packers player.

Offensively, no. Defensively, though, they've already had a Browner holding penalty and Revis tweaked his knee. And the Pats can't stop Dan Herron so far.

UPDATE: Head/neck area for Revis, not knee, but he's back in, so I guess he's okay.

Vinaiteri missed!

Vereen.  Great play!

Defense getting the job done so far.  3 and out on the 1st drive.  Long FG attempt on the second.  Yeah, a little porous defending hte run, but seem to be covering well (Luck looking to 2nd and 3rd targets) and getting some pressure (more than on Flacco).

Indeed, it was!

I'm still in disbelief at how that two-point conversion wasn't batted down.

[Neurotic Guy]

Edelman hurt.  I'm watching with sound off -- any speculation about what happened.  Head?  Hand?  Didn't seem to be limping.

Fell hard on hip. Has been nursing a hip injury second half of season.

Was moving pretty well when going to the locker room, though. So hopefully it's not serious.

Have to comment on that effort.  What a game so far for Blount.

Great effort! Too bad Brady through another interception—been doing that too much lately, costing them points that would help end games sooner.

Has been off target a few times today.  That was a big mistake.  Keep running -- can't give up scoring chances.

Good defense.

Great. This should be on the verge of a blowout (21-0), but instead it's about to be 14-7.
