Wrap up of Divisional Playoffs
While i was watching the Divisional Playoffs this weekend i had a couple thoughts. One was i am god awful, i mean really bad at picking games this postseason, i wasn't great during the regular season but i was a little better than 1-7 (1-3 Wild Card, 0-4 Divisional). Another thing i noticed was how lopsided every game but one was. It started Saturday with the Saints 45-14 thrashing of the Arizona Cardinals, the Cards gave up 90 points in two games this postseason they might need to address the defense in the off season. The night cap was the Ravens traveling to Indianapolis to face Manning and the Colts, a team they had lost to 7 straight times, well make it 8. The score was only 20-3 but it might as well been 40-8. Sunday started but it was more the same, it was touted the best game of the weekend but it was another blowout, Vikings 34, Cowboys 3. The thing about that game was with the game well in hand and the Vikings up 24, Minnesota went for it on 4th and 3 and Favre threw his 4th TD to make it 34-3. With good reason there were a couple Cowboys upset at the Vikings, there was no reason to throw that TD pass the Vikings had proven through the entire game that they were the better team, it more looks like Favre's ego had to be stroked. Favre had never had a 4 TD pass game in the postseason, and it seemed like he didn't care how he got it. So after 3 blowouts many were expecting the Charger-Jet game to be more of the same. People laughed when Rex Ryan said the Jets should be favored in every game, well he looked like he was right. The Jets suffocating defense was tremendous in stopping the Chargers and Nate Kaeding's 3 misses didn't help either. So in the NFC its the meeting everyone expected weeks ago, and the AFC Title will be contested between two old rivals in the Jets and Colts. Hopefully it will be more exciting than last weekend.
