Terrible NFL divisional playoff games

You would figure in the Divisional round of the NFL playoffs that the team who won the Wild Card round would bring their swagger against teams that had their bye weeks and have more pressure on them. For the visiting teams, the Arizona Cardinals, the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys, that was far from the case. In fact, I think even their practice squad could have played better.
The home teams, the Minnesota Vikings, the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts won by an average of 26.3 points per game. In fact, analysts and fans thought that the Cardinals, the Ravens were going to win. Wow were we dumb. In fact, if the San Diego Chargers are in the playoffs with a great record, I am never going to pick them to win ever again.
The New York Jets were ready to play. They brought their NFL's #1 running game and their NFL's #1 defense to San Diego put it to the Chargers with a nothing short of stunning 17-14 victory. Of course the Jets got more than a few breaks. Chargers' Place Kicker Nate Kaeding coming into the game led the NFL in field goals made (32), points (146) and was fourth with field goal percentage (91.4) and his longest field goal was 55 yards, missed not one, not two, but THREE field goals in the game. He missed from 36 yards, 57 yards (I can give him a break on that) and 40 yards. Those missed kicks I thought changed the whole complexion of the game. Chargers' Quarterback Philip Rivers threw two interceptions; however, one of them was a lucky bounce for Jets' Corner back Derrelle Revis when it landed in his hands from Chargers' Wide Receiver Vincent Jackson. The Chargers were flagged for 10 penalties for 87 yards. Otherwise, it took the Jets' offense the whole first half to figure out the tendencies of the Chargers' defense and then took advantage afterward with 17 points in the second half. Once the Jets started rolling, the Chargers rolled over and choked like always.
The Jets-Chargers game was the only one that didn't make want to change the channel. All of the other games were really close until the end of the first half, then it was a crap-shoot. The Ravens-Colts game was 3 all until the Colts scored two touchdowns within the final two minutes of the first half. The Cardinals-Saints game was only a 7-point difference until the middle of the second quarter and then the Saints scored 24 unanswered points throughout the rest of the game. And the Cowboys-Vikings game was 7-3 Vikes into the middle of the second quarter until the home team also routed the 'Boys and scored 27 unanswered points after that.
I thought that playoff football was supposed to be a tough, painful and grinding time of the year. It is supposed to show each and every team's mettle. This week, three of the four of the losing teams failed to do that. In fact, they were embarrassed. They did not belong. It showed that the teams that they defeated the week before didn't belong in the playoffs either. But that is life. Nothing can go the owners', executives', players' or the fans' way. It is what it is and we will have to wait and see how competitive that the Conference Championship games will be.
