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.

If only Rob and Rex ran a plumbing business in Brooklyn that was frequently visited by C-level late 80s celebrities and showed awesome cartoons. Oh, and the daily reminder to watch The Legend of Zelda on Friday.

It seems like Nick Fairley's diet is Starburst and Skittles. He's been dealing with this foot thing since day 2 of training camp. I really wish K.Smith could hold himself together.
The penalties. . . Well, Chris Collinsworth said it best. "What are you. . . You can't keep . . .just . . . . AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" I think he said that during the 3rd quarter.

You forgot to mention the Chiefs had 7 sacks, 3 of which were rookie OLB Justin Houston.

Walter, you forgot to mention how many interceptions the Ravens defense dropped during their game against the Browns.
Probably more passes than the Browns receivers dropped. Either way, that game was ugly!

...In which Walt continues to rave like your typical fanboy.
You know Walt people would dislike Tebow less if his fans weren't such insufferable jackasses. Honestly, just suck his dick already.

Walt I don't understand how you can criticize the refs in other games, but in the lions game the refs called some very shaky penalties on Detroit and you say its the lions fault? come on man, be more consistent with your analysis.
and I'm not a lions fan either, i watched the game and saw the refs hand the saints a victory

For someone who seems to enjoy making fun of other people's bad grammar so much, Walter sure makes a lot of mistakes. Try proofreading

Really? Ryan was terrible in the game? You clearly did not watch the game at all. Yes, he did overthrow Roddy and Julio early, but beyond that I don't know why he wasn't driven insane by those two, along with his other targets. There had to have been at least a dozen dropped passes by Falcons receivers in that game. He hit them in stride and right on their hands yet they dropped the ball over and over and over and over again. It was a terrible performance which I wholeheartedly hope the receiving corps feels ashamed in themselves for.

how in the world are %99 of tebow fans complete idiots? this game was his best statwise, his only good one in fact, yet all these people hail him as elite. i've heard his fans coming up with ridiculous stats and ranking him better than marino, montana, elway, manning, brady, rogers, etc. right. winning is all that matters, for the team. it takes a team effort to win a game. as quaterbacks go, based on individual performance, tebow is below average, at best(right now in his career). he seems to energize the team and all that, but his performances are statistically quite poor and they often win despite his play. he makes a nice play or two at the end of the game and he's all of a sudden elite, and still no one else gets any credit for keeping them in the game while he's blowing it for the first 55 min.
