I figured it would be close, most of us did. But who expected the Packers would be blown out? Nobody west of the Appalachians. Congratulations to the Falcons, I hope they represent the NFC well and win the Super Bowl.

And then Crosby missed that field goal.

Ugh.

I didn't think GB would keep up. The defense it simply too weak. Too porous in the secondary. I though it would be a sad day.I almost didn't even turn the game on but I had to give it a shot. I was on to other things by the middle of the 2nd quarter.
