I sure hope today's NFL playoff games were better than yesterday's. The Cardinals were "held" to 78 yards of offense. No offense to the Carolina defense, but a team that has lost their starting quarterback AND their two best running backs in the last month didn't offer much in resistance.
Carolina played equally poorly, and only walked away with the win because one team had to. They played like a team with a sub .500 record. Just an awful game to watch.
And Pittsburgh demonstrated last night what happens when a team relies too much on one running back and that back gets hurt the last week of the season. The Steelers were forced to use a Vikings late season cast-off as their starting running back.
The results weren't pretty.
Roethlisberger couldn't use his passing skills when Baltimore no longer had to worry about the run. They looked as bad as the Cardinals last night. Substitutes make for poor games. The Ravens were the only team playing yesterday that looked like they belonged there.
Two more games today. Hope they're better.
