NFL 2011 Season - The Road To Super Bowl XLVI

[Johnny Karp]

There were no big surprises yesterday in the first two games of the Divisional Playoffs as the San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots booked their tickets for the Conference Championships. The Patriots cruised past the Denver Broncos while the 49ers had a more difficult game against the New Orleans Saints but eventually prevailed 36 to 32.

Who do you think will qualify for the Super Bowl? I'd say Patriots and 49ers but I might be wrong

[Johnny Karp]

The New York Giants pulled off another upset after defeating the in-form Green Bay Packers as they went past the San Francisco 49ers to reach the Super Bowl! They will face the New England Patriots who narrowly defeated the Baltimore Ravens 23 to 20.

Baltimore Ravens v New England Patriots 20-23     
New York Giants v San Francisco 49ers 20-17

The Super Bowl will take place on Sunday February 5th, who do you think will win it? I believe that the New York Giants are full of confidence at the moment and they probably will clinch it but it's a difficult call.

The New York Giants did it again: four years after their last Super Bowl win they defeated the New England Patriots once again to clinch the title. Eli Manning and the Giants came back with a last-minute score to beat New England 21-17 to grab their fourth Super Bowl title. Eli Manning became the first QB to open a Super Bowl with nine consecutive completions, then Brady put together a run of 16 completions in a row, breaking another Super Bowl mark. But it was Manning who won the contest eventually as he directed the nine-play 88-yard drive that put New York ahead when running back Ahmad Bradshaw scored the winning touchdown.

If anyone would post some of the good commercials  it would be greatly appreciated. I was fast asleep during the game and wouldn't be able to see any of the adverts here in the UK anyway.

Or maybe I'm biased because I own a Chevrolet

[Feelin froggy]

Thanks Johnny. I figured that Twinkies would make it til the end. Nice to see that Chevy did too. I wonder what they spent making that. Looks like quite a bit.

They spend millions on those commercials. I think i enjoy them more than the actual game. I didn't have a square this year so i wasn't as passionate about the game.

The Twinkie commercial had to be my fav!
