10 Playoff Facts from this Weekend

1.  Anything can happen in the playoffs.  I'm sure a lot of people that were watching the first half of the NFC Championship game thought it was in the bag.  The Seahawks came back (despite my VERY CLEAR desire for that to NOT happen).  It's being broadcast that some of their fans left the game early and had to watch from outside.  Serves you right.  Don't leave until the game is over!

2.  The Patriots dominate, especially with home field advantage.  The Patriots are just a superior team...period.  I love my Broncos but the Patriots kill it at home.

3.  You can win a game even if the ball is turned over five times in your opponent's favor.  The Packers had five turnovers in their favor and still lost (BARELY).

4.  You find yourself having to cheer for teams you HATE at playoff time.  I grew up in Chicago.  I was RAISED to hate the Packers.....fortunately for them, I hate the Seahawks more. LOL

5.  A lot of Broncos fans face a bit of a conundrum at this Superbowl.  Do you root for the team you hate or the team you hate?  My opinion?  AFC.  Period.  The NFC will never even come close to the AFC and the Seahawks need an attitude adjustment that I'm hoping Tom Brady will provide.

6.  Richard Sherman is an asshat.  Well that's not something new from this weekend but it remains true regardless.

7.  It's much harder to hate Russell Wilson than Tom Brady.  Russell just seems like a really nice guy, much like Aaron Rodgers (who I also can't hate despite hating his team).  Tom Brady may or may not be nice but he comes across as an arrogant pretty boy.

8.  Rob Gronkowski is a BEAST!  Again, not incredibly new news but he is.  The dude is a beast!

9.  The Seahawks are favored to win the Superbowl.  I don't find this necessarily to be true, overall.  I hope the Patriots wipe the floor with the Seahawks.  The Seahawks do not have their 12th man home field advantage and the Patriots want revenge.

10  Kubiak is back in Denver!  Okay, this isn't Playoff-related but it's still the most amazing news of the weekend for this Broncos fan!
