Spartans in the NFL playoffs

These Spartans will be representing their respective teams as the NFL playoffs kick-off this weekend.

Thoughts on the Lions-Ravens

Positives:
Kevin Smith ran the ball fairly well before the Lions were forced to abandon the run.

Negatives:
The entire offense:
Couldn't score, had maybe one good drive.
Daunte Culpepper still believes that he can start in the NFL. I believe that he's crazy because he's terrible. I don't know if I can count how many times he badly under-threw a wide receiver. If Matt Stafford can't go then it's time to see what Drew Stanton has to offer.


The entire defense
Apparently the defense was advised not to lay a hand on or attempt to tackle the Ravens offense. Do the Ravens have some rare, deadly and contagious disease?
 Jim Schwartz verbally abused the defense in an attempt to motivate them and was rewarded by them giving up a touchdown to Willis McGahee without laying a hand on him.

Jason Hanson missed another kick. His percentage is now almost ten points below the league average. Unusual for him.

I wondered why Dan Gronkowski didn't make the team out of camp because he appeared to have good potential. I'm assuming now that it's because he can't catch the ball.

Kevin Smith went down with an injury and is most likely done for the rest of the season.

If the Lions continue to play like this, they won't win another game.
