I had a rough weekend watching these playoffs. My Giants didn't even show up to the game! I also root for the Bengals (lived there for six years), and they lost as well. I wonder what the outcome would have been if Carson Palmer wasn't knocked out after the second play (ouch!).

I think the Bears-Carolina game will be a close. I would feel better about the Bear's chances if they had a better offense. This will be one low scoring game.
