The divisional playoffs showed alot of things we already know. Tom Brady played like, well and MVP. (26-28, 262 yards, 3 TDs) Brett Favre played exactly how you would expect one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time to play. (18-23, 173 yards, 3 TDs) Ryan Garnett played like...Ryan Grant? The Giants traded Grant to the Packers because they didn't see a place for him and boy are the Packers glad. The last eight weeks of the season Grant rushed for over 900 yards, second to only some guy in San Diego. All he did to follow that up agains the Seahawks was rush for 201 yards (Packers record for rushing yards in a postseason game) on 27 carries and 3 touchdowns. The second game on Saturday was just as entertaining. The Jags hung around for awhile. Garrard looked more like the Garrard from the regular season instead of the guy that showed up against the Steelers in the Wild Card round throwing for 278 yards on 22 of 33 passing with 2 touchdowns and an interception. But the Patriots turned out to be too much. The Pats got ahead which forced the Jags to move away from their bread and butter rushing game. Tom Brady played almost perfect football. His only two incompletions came off dropped passes by Welker and Watson! Moss was almost nonexistant. His only catch was a 4th down conversion on their first drive. Lawrence Maroney picked the right time to have his biggest game of the year (22 carries 122 yards and a touchdown) helping to lead a balanced, that's right a balanced Patriots attack.
Congratulations to the Patriots and Packers. Good Luck next week.
