So, here we go. Round Two of the NFL playoffs. Last week is was all about the comeback and the cold. Had KC held on to win, it would have been a clean sweep for the away. The 49ers won in Frigid Green Bay, the Saints won in slightly chilly Philly, San Diego won in convincing fashion in Cincinnati, and Colts broke the streak by breaking Andy Reid’s heart.
Round Two brings about rematches of previous games. Famously, the depleted Niners lost at home to Carolina to validate their hot start. San Diego split home losses with Denver, Seattle famously beat the living shit out of Nawlins on Monday Night in the Speakerdome. only the New England and Indy have not faced each other yet this year.
Saturday
| New Orleans Saints (11-5) | 1:35PM Seattle 31 – NO 20 |
| Seattle Seahawks (13-3) |
| Indianapolis Colts (11-5) | 5:15PM Indy 28 – NE 27 (upset special) |
| New England Patriots (12-4) |
Sunday
| San Francisco 49ers (12-4) | 10:05PM SF 24 – Carolina 14 |
| Carolina Panthers (12-4) |
| San Diego Chargers (9-7) | 1:40PM SD 35 – Denver 17 (Upset 2) |
| Denver Broncos (13-3) |
Great match-ups across the board. You have 2 new-age QBs facing off in Cam and Kap, 2 undersized phenoms in battle-tested Drew Brees and Russell Wilson, Consummate pro Tom Brady vs the upstart pocket passer Andrew Luck, and 2 old pros in P Rivers and Peyton Manning.
All in all an excellent weekend to sit around and watch football.
I said it somewhere that NE would kill ’em in the air.
PI continues to be an unexplainable mystery to referees everywhere.
Oy vey. Great run defense by the Colts…or, you know, not.
Not. 4 TDs by Blount. Pats keep giving ’em up in the air
Wow. So much for the defense.
Haven’t seen any yet by either team
Logan Mankings with the pulling block of the year. He helped Moses part the Red Sea for L. Blount on that long TD scamper. Nicely done.
Well, six rushing TDs is just embarrassing for Greg Manusky’s bunch.
Well, last week I was o-2 on Saturday, and 2-0 on Sunday. 1-1 today.
Luck’s got to get 3 In a hurry.
Down by 21 and you have just 4th and ONE on your 30 and you punt?
Cancer or no cancer, Chuck Pagano should be fired post haste.
Yep bad call
Was it 4th and one?
Yes think so
Dierdorf made a nice little comeback with his Clydesdale remark.
Better for Dan to ride off into the sunset on a horse. Then to be remembered as the guy who wanted to eschew the safety for a touchdown. But of course.
Seattle sure got their monies worth from Pussy Harvin haven’t they?
Fleeced on the Trade and then tea-bagged on the production return.
Saint’s lit his A$$ up.
Another example of a guy getting paid then mailing it in.
NO certainly got their shots in on him.
Another under-the-table bounty?
New thread is up.
