2010 NFL Conference Championship Recaps
Packers 21, Bears 14
Well, not really. The Bears did a great job on Rodgers for the rest of the game. The Packers scored just one more offensive touchdown, and the Bears forced Rodgers into a red zone interception. Chicago had a chance to win at the end, but Mike Martz's moronic play-calling thwarted that effort.
Jay Cutler was anemic in the first half, going 6-of-14 for 80 yards and an interception, as he constantly overthrew his receivers. Cutler suffered some sort of mysterious knee injury in the second quarter and took himself out of the contest. Despite Brian Urlacher calling him the P-word on the sidelines, Cutler refused to go back into the game.
I'll have more on this in the power rankings, but Cutler is a major wuss. Philip Rivers played in the AFC Championship on a torn ACL a few years ago, yet Cutler couldn't go because of a little boo-boo? Are you kidding me?
As this happened, forum member Ryguy commented, "Can't wait to hear what Cutler's injury is."
Hyperborean quickly answered, "Sand in vagina."
Cal Hanie time!!!!
Good. They are putting Hanie in. They have a chance.
Thank god, apparently Hanie is going in.
Caleb Hanie!!!
Hanie didn't disappoint, going 13-of-20 for 153 yards, one touchdown and two picks. He led two scoring drives and looked infinitely superior to Cutler. As mentioned, however, Martz screwed Hanie out of a legendary comeback with an awful end-around on a key third down on the final drive.
On defense, B.J. Raji had a pick-six. Sam Shields collected the other two Packer interceptions to go along with a sack and forced fumble.
As for the Bears, Matt Forte had to do it all by himself for three quarters; he rushed for 70 yards on 17 attempts and caught 10 balls for 90 receiving yards.
Steelers 24, Jets 19
I don't know what happened to New York's stop unit in the first half. Even though the defense held Ben Roethlisberger to 7-of-14 passing for 96 yards and an interception prior to intermission, it could not stop the Steelers. Rashard Mendenhall trampled the Jets for 121 yards on 27 carries. Isaac Redman, meanwhile, chipped in with 27 yards on just four attempts.
Rex Ryan's defense showed no interest in tackling. It was pathetic. The Steelers actually had more points (24) by halftime than New York ran plays (22).
I really have no idea why LaDainian Tomlinson got the ball on the most important play of the game. On 4th-and-goal at the 1-yard line of a 24-10 contest, Schottenheimer called for a Tomlinson carry. Tomlinson was predictably stuffed at the goal line. He gained just 16 yards on nine carries, while Shonn Greene generated 52 yards on the same amount of attempts. It's almost as if Todd Haley kidnapped Schottenheimer and took over the play-calling.
The Jets simply didn't have an answer for Roethlisberger's scrambling. Big Ben's passing numbers were hardly impressive (10-of-19, 133 yards, 2 INTs), but he evaded enough pass rushers in the backfield and picked up a few key first downs (and a touchdown) to keep the ball out of Sanchez's hands.
For more, check out my updated 2010 NFL Power Rankings, which will be posted Monday morning.

You left out the part about the Lions dropping 4 picks thrown right into there hands. This was also some of the most one sided officiting ive seen since Dwade in the 2006 playoffs/finals. Not a single holding call against the Saints? I see why Evens and Nicks are so highly rated now....they are given cart blonch to hold at will.
Look i wasnt expecting the Lions to win this game but losing this way really blows

Im sorry but after the lions game the tackling was so bad that i hope they grab vontaze in the first round in the draft. He is a top ten talent that is gonna fall in the draft because of things that he can change in the nfl. In rounds 2 through 4 they can get as many O line as they need, and then they should grab a corner, hopefully cliff harris if he falls that far. i know the secondary was bad but what can you expect when the play the number 1 offense in the saints.

I have to say the 4 dropped interceptions by Detroit made a huge difference as well.

How SWEET! Playoff football and no fat-pig useless Ryan Brothers. Rexy will probably spend the weekend crying, especially if someone is watching (phony fat-pig) and Robbie will probably try to learn frome some game films of Wade Phillips defenses while trying to maintain his physique with a 25000 calorie per day diet.

HOW was Brees' interception not his fault? He overthrew it,
http://www.nfl.com/videos/carolina-panthers/09000d5d8259b1b0/Panthers-defense-INT the route is obviously correct (a swing pass) and he threw too far ahead

Note: Broncos WRs suck because its much harder to catch a Tebow "spiral" than an actual quaterbacks.

Greg, for the love of God, enough already. You seem like a knowledgeable enough guy, but these write-ups are unbearable. There is nothing in them that I couldn't get from a box score. Readers want insights into the game, not a narrative of the key events. Take a cue from Walt. Some descripion of the events coupled with quick bullet points. I think you could be good at it, but as it stands when I see the name "Greg Cox," I just sigh and scroll to the next game.

These recaps are much better than Walts. More detailed. For example, nearly every week for the 9ers recap Walt writes some stupid unrelated quip for a paragraph or so, throws in a sarcastic comment and that's it. These are great.

Antonio Smith is the Ninja Assassin thus the Ninja celebration! He does it after every sack. http://www.houstontexans.com/tv-media/videos/On-the-Nose-with-Shaun-Cody-Ninjas/8d7a1aad-e75d-4057-be2b-859ed0f557d6

Green had Webb's facemask on that hail mary in Cincy. Offsetting penalties so the ravens would still win.

Terrence Newman was atrocious. In the first three drives Eli literally targeted him on every pass to the point that he was benched for the nearly as terrible Alan Ball. Sean Lee was the only Cowboy who showed up on that defense.
