Title matchups disappointed
If your idea of fun is spending a full day in front of the TV watching high-stakes football, today was a good day. However, if you like tight matchups, you were sorely disappointed just as I was.
I really expected the Denver Broncos to put up more of a fight on their home field during the AFC title game with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But, when the leader of the Denver offense gave up the ball four times (two lost fumbles, two interceptions), the uphill climb for the Broncos became higher than Mile High Stadium.
It would've been fun to see the Carolina Panthers make more of a showing in the NFC title game. Perhaps, this team was just out of magic after taking out the Chicago Bears, whom many had picked to reach the Super Bowl. It was likely more a case of: more talent + home field = Seattle Seahawks romp.
So, we're left with the Steelers and Seahawks in the big game. If the matchup on turf turns out to be anything like the matchup on paper, this should be a good one.
