| | | | Well KC didn't look that good. No First downs the first half isn't good against any team. tara, next year sweets.
Cowboy fans, Romo blew it for you. I never seen a feld goal blown like that in the playoffs. What a good game though.
Well, I am starting out badly. Just 1 for 1 today. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

| | | | Judgements: Shades of Elway as Colts trek into Baltimore
By Clark Judge
1. So the Colts return to Baltimore for the playoffs. Wow. Now you'll find out why owner Jim Irsay didn't want to share a division with the Ravens. You talk about hostility. My guess is the crowd will be something like that September, 1983, game when then-rookie John Elway ran into a virtual lynch mob before he was benched. It was ugly.
What's more of a downer ... Tony Romo's blunder or Bill Parcells' road record in the playoffs?
2. Good news for top seeds: All four home teams won Sunday, a departure from the past two seasons when home teams were a combined 2-6 for the wild-card weekend. The last time all four teams won the first weekend was 2000, when Baltimore won Super Bowl XXXV.
3. Forget about what might've happened if Tony Romo handled the snap in Seattle; this is what Dallas coach Bill Parcells has to think about in the offseason: He's 2-5 on the road in the playoffs, with his last road win in 1990.
4. So this is San Diego's reward for having the best record in the NFL? I'd rather be Baltimore. I look at how New England's Bill Belichick shut down Vince Young a week ago, and I can only imagine what he has in mind for Philip Rivers.
5. Yeah, I think Chicago just caught a break. Not only did the Bears hammer Seattle earlier this year, but, unlike a year ago, there's nothing about the Seahawks' offense or defense that intimidates you -- particularly now that Seattle is short of healthy receivers and cornerbacks.
6. The Kansas City Chiefs must find out if Trent Green's poor second-half performance was due to his concussion in the season opener or the first sign of a guy who's hit the wall. Remember, he turns 37 this year. Pssst, Carl Peterson, re-sign Damon Huard now.
7. People who should know tell me Atlanta owner Arthur Blank hasn't ruled out the possibility of moving quarterback Michael Vick if his new head coach Bobby Petrino thinks Vick is holding the Falcons back.
8. The four head-coach openings in terms of attractiveness: 1) Pittsburgh; 2) Miami; 3) Arizona and 4) Oakland. The Raiders stay there until Al Davis relinquishes control of personnel and the coaching staff, which means the Raiders don't budge.
9. The Giants' Tiki Barber will be missed. A classy guy and a terrific player. I'm glad he ended his career with another 100-yard game, but sorry to see him go. Good luck replacing him, New York.
10. You have to feel for the Patriots' Rodney Harrison and Junior Seau. Both were stars with the Chargers. Both have something to prove to their ex-team, and both would love nothing more than to do it in San Diego. One problem: Both are hurt.
11. If I'm an NFL team in search of a head coach I find out what it takes for Boise State's Chris Peterson to make the jump. And, yeah, I'd be willing to paint the field blue.
12. Former Atlanta coach Jim Mora was so good as an NBC analyst it makes you wonder if he's auditioning for the wrong job.
13. Yes, that was an embrace Belichick had for the Jets' Eric Mangini after Sunday's game. This time it was Mangini who acted like he was late for a team meeting.
14. Memo to tackle Jon Runyan: You got lucky when officials flagged Barry Cofield. The Eagles aren't good enough to withstand stupid penalties -- especially when you commit two on the same play. You're a veteran leader, Jon; act like one.
15. How smart do the Eagles look for re-signing Koy Detmer now? He rejoined the team last week to do what he'd done before -- namely, hold for kicker David Akers. And he fielded a high snap flawlessly for Akers' game-winning kick.
Five guys I wouldn't want to be ...
1. Tony Romo, QB, Dallas. There goes that Allstate endorsement.
2. Mike Solari, offensive coordinator, Kansas City. No first downs for nearly three quarters? Against the league's 32nd ranked run defense? Cancel those "Be like Mike" bumper stickers.
3. The Indianapolis Colts. They're returning to Baltimore, this time without the Mayflower vans. Pack the headphones, guys. You don't want to hear what Ravens' fans are saying.
4. Tom Coughlin, head coach, N.Y. Giants. He lost seven of his last nine starts, and now he might lose his job.
5. Ernie Accorsi, general manager, New York Giants. He deserves better than to have his career end this way. The guy was smart, engaging and honest -- a rare combination in this Business.
Just asking but ...
Was that Bill Parcells' last game as a head coach?
Which of next weekend's underdogs has the best chance of an upset?
What do you think think of playoff officiating now, Seattle?
Why didn't the Chiefs bench Trent Green at halftime?
Jabar Gaffney?

| | | | Don't underestimate the winning records of Bellichek (12-2) and Brady (11-1) in the playoffs.
Granted I think the chargers are the best team in the NFL for 2006 as thier record shows.
Belicheck is a chessman
look for Belicheck to slow down LT and the patriots defense scoring
on several occasions
and as this true statement can apply
any given sunday |
| |
| | | | after reading and listening and doing some research. I have to say as much as I would like to see the Patriots win on Sunday against the Chargers its a tough call. I relize my picj is passed more on emotions than on facts. But many a time the patriots have been picked as the underdog and have come out on top.
should be an awesome game..
