Hope we have some good games. Good luck to all the teams who made it, and their fans of course. Football doesn't matter too much, it's only a game (that's my rationalization after the Bengals' choke job in slow motion).
Sometimes teams on the ascent take a step back before they move forward again. My Pats were the "hot" Super Bowl pick in 1995 after they'd made the playoffs the previous year. They went a very dissapointing 6-10 that year but bounced back the following season with the AFC championship.
