Then there were just 4.
Both Drew Brees & the Saints & Aaron Rogers & the Packers will be fans like us next weekend. Poor ball control led to miscues & turnovers that neither team was able to overcome. It just shows that anything can happen in the playoffs. I know from experience that the hard part of losing in the playoffs is living with the stigma that you did not play your best when it counted the most.
As you look at the 4 survivers this weekend, perhaps the Giants have the most balanced team on offense & defense. The Patriots have improved on the D side of the ball with the return of players like Patrick Cheung & Brandon Spikes. Both the 49ers & Ravens sport talented defenses, although the 49ers were able to score 30+ points over the Saints. Any of these 4 teams can win the Super Bowl. It just comes down to turnovers. Whoever plays a clean game & protects the ball usually comes out on top.
I'll take the Patriots over the Ravens & the 49ers over the Giants.
