What's your take on the NFL playoffs this year overall? Steve Politi, who is the Star-Ledger columnist, had me rolling my eyes when he mentioned how this year's NFL playoffs has been boring the other day. I don't think it has been exciting especially the conference championship games, but it hasn't been boring or bad either as Steve points out.
I thought the wild card games were pretty good. Washington/Tampa Bay was a very good game I thought. It was pretty close for most of the game. Jacksonville/Pats was a good game for the first half. It was close till the middle of the third quarter when Brady did his thing. If Jags offense could have got something going early in the game, maybe they lead and win the game. I thought Pitt/Cincy was close till Kitna became Kitna. If Carson Palmer does not get hurt, this game goes to the wire I think and maybe the Bengals just win it. Carolina/NY was decent. If Eli actually threw some good passes, maybe Giants make it close and be in a position to win the game.
The divisional games was good. Washington/Seattle was a close game for the most part. I thoguht Brunell and Hasselbeck put on a great show along with Santana Moss. Pats/Broncos was interesting to see. Pats had opportunities to win it because Denver did not look that good. Indy/Pitt went to a thrilling finish after a lousy first half. Rex Grossman tried to carry the Bears on his back. Chicago had chances to tie and win it against Carolina.
I was at a restaurant watching the games and it seemed the fans were tuned in into every play. I heard lot of reactions and such so I have no idea why Steve Politi thought it was boring.
Was the NFL playoffs perfect? No, but when it ever was. The only playoffs that comes close to drama and exciting finish is the NCAA College Basketball Tournament.
I thought it was pretty good. Me thinks Politi is bitter that his beloved Jets did not make the playoffs.
