    I agree. The Bucks managed to win without getting to banged up, so that's going to help. I am somewhat concerned about the headshot C. Jones took late in the second half might have him concussed. If he is healthy though and as long as the Buckeyes don't turn the ball over, they should be able to beat Oregon.

    However the bucks play calling was terrible. They could have won by several TDs if they would have run the ball in goaline situations.

    Maybe. Alabama is excellent at preventing rushing touchdowns though, the Buckeyes were trying to avoid Bama's strengths. I do not agree with the 1st down deep ball late in the fourth though, perhaps the Buckeyes could have avoided giving bama the ball back with almost two minutes if they would have kept it on the ground.

    It was not excellent last night. They are over rated like many of the SEC teams this year.

    I missed the Rose Bowl game ,but had a feeling Oregon was going to beat Fla. St. I have been watching a lot of the Ohio St. games this past season because they usually were being televised by some channel. The Ohio St. v. Wisconsin game truly showed me how well run the Ohio St. team is by winning 59-0. Then bashing Alabama in the Sugar Bowl 42-35. The Ohio State QB Cardale Jones is for real , not just a third string backup QB. Looking forward to seeing this matchup between Ohio St. and Oregon.

    Let's go Fins! Time to shore up that OL some more in the draft so we can maybe, possibly, sell our souls for a playoff berth next year.....

    With all the Bowl games out there, I am surprised nobody has come up with the idea of pairing off the two worst teams in college ball. The could call it the Tidy Bowl, sponsored by Tidy Bowl toilet cleaner.

    Who else better to call when your season is swirling the drain.

    Wow, the Univ. of Houston Cougars made history today with a miracle comeback win against the Univ. of Pittsburgh Panthers with a score of 35-34 in the Armed Forces Bowl.. Pittsburgh was leading 31-6 with 14 minutes left in the game. The Panthers were still up 34-13 with 6:14 left before U of H exploded into a team being controlled by angels,lol , capitalizing on offside kicks and scoring touchdowns. This was the 3rd largest comeback ever in a bowl game.

    Ya know, this game was like watching 2 bad college teams. WTF happened to the Cards ? Cam certainly took a beating in the game but toughed it out, kudos to the man. Jay Cutler would have broke a nail and sat down for sure. One more thing, how do you have arguably one of the best receivers in the league and don't put the ball in his hands ? The Cards offense was simply horrible. Ok, 2 more things, Kevin Butlers kid didn't learn a damn thing from his old man and should lose his starting position.

    Steelers and Ravens was a much better game with it possibly going either way up to the last quarter. Ravens defense was too much for Steelers offense. These 2 teams have played each other a lot and from where I sit, Steelers didn't do their homework. Ben was holding onto the ball way too long and it seemed they had no quick throw plays in the playbook to avoid the pressure from the Ravens front.

    The Ravens winning last night was basically the best thing that could happen for me as a Bronco fan. Patriots are the best team in the AFC this year and are a different team than the Ravens beat up in NE a couple years ago, but their track record up in NE has to give the Ravens confidence.

    I'd love to see the Ravens go in to NE and knock off the Patriots and then visit Denver if Denver somehow finds a way to play a good game and wins next week. Sure the Ravens also won in Denver that year but given the choice I'll take that game over a trip to NE.

    If Dalton can just keep it together, the Bengals have a good shot today.

    Without A.J. Green, Dalton and the Bengals better hope for a solid run game. Otherwise, Indy's secondary will create a lot of problems for Cinci's receivers. I think Dalton will have to do more than keep it together, he will need to play his best football and get help from the defense to pull off a win today.

    My Ravens just have a way of turning it up when they hit the playoffs. We seem to do way better when we're the underdog playing away.

    Funny stat...the Ravens are tied for all time with playoff road victories with 10. We're tied with Green Bay...except, we've been in the league 75 LESS YEARS than Green Bay. The Ravens have been a franchise for 19 years, Green Bay 94 years.

    Oh, and Flacco over his last 5 playoff games (including the 2012 SB) has 13 TD's and ZERO interceptions.

    Watch out New England, the Road Warriors are coming!
    No excuses!

    The Cards never stood a chance with the QB (4th string) they had to play. It was a sad game all in all.

    Bounces definitely went the way of the Bengals in the first half, if they'd actually played great football as well this score could be a lot more lopsided at halftime.

    Much better second half by my Colts, the Bengals' inability to win a playoff game is unbelievable. Speaking of, Dallas should crush Detroit today and help the Lions also extend their playoff winless streak as well.

    Better game so far than I though, Detroit is hanging in there so far. This game is like the first time your little brother puts up a real good fight though, he may catch you off guard at first but ultimately you remind him who's boss :-)

    That's what I see happening in the second half.

    I will be surprised if Dallas doesn't come back and win this. Detroit is one of those teams that seem to find a way to lose when the pressure is on. I would enjoy seeing them win today though.
