Football Commentary: Conference Championship Strategy Review
A short article this week from our buddy William Krasker, but he talks about the play that everyone was talking about. Yes, Bill Cowher should have gone for the touchdown. Also, a look at Philadelphia's "grab the wind" timeout.

Snap Judgment: See You in Jacksonville
The Snap Judgment crew, including yours truly, dissects the conference championships. What went wrong with Vick and Roethlisberger, and can anything confuse Tom Brady in the playoffs? Hidden in this column are my initial thoughts on the Super Bowl based on our Football Outsiders statistics, and a unique explanation for Big Ben's troubles from one of this site's (former) writers. I'm trying to name drop everyone from the FO staff before the season ends.

MMQB: Turning Points
In today's MMQB, Peter King revisits the game between the Eagles and Patriots in 2003 and looks forward to the Super Bowl. Not too much new there, but that's nothing against King. With no surprise team, there's not much to talk about this year, and we've got two weeks to talk about not much. Two weeks of "Are the Patriots a Dynasty?" and "Will T.O. Play?" and its little cousin, "Will Seymour Play?"

The Myth of the Run
Aaron needs money to buy a nice birthday present for his wife, Part II: Establishing the run, revisited. This is for the Boston Globe Ideas section, not the Sports section, so don't be surprised if it is a little basic.

Steelers Upset About Lack of Respect
This is just getting stupid. Has there ever been an NFL player to tell a reporter, "You know, I really appreciate all the support... Honestly, you all respect us so much. You couldn't respect us any more. It's too much respect, really. Can you please respect us less?" The NFL is like a big respect black hole, in which all respect is sucked into a negative zone and therefore everyone feels disrespected.

The Top Five Defensive Minds
Hey, it's another top five list! This time Peter King takes a look at the top defensive minds in the NFL. Inexplicably, Nick Saban is ranked ahead of Dick LeBeau and Monte Kiffin, but otherwise it's hard to argue about one through four on the list.

Football Commentary: Wild Card and Divisional Round Strategy Review
Our buddy William Krasker is back with more of his analysis of strategy decisions by coaches in the first two rounds of the playoffs. There's an interesting note here from Bill Belichick on the whole concept of "winning the time of possession battle." William also looks at Indianapolis punting in the third quarter from the New England 49-yard line and their odd clock management to end the first half. Plus, how much did that weird kneeling play affect New York's chances of beating Pittsburgh?
