NFL '09 - Page 7

This ended a serious drought for me. My first playoff win in a full league since '05. Shameful.

So on the topic of real football, playoff predictions? I'm not even going to hazard a guess about who's getting the final 4 spots in the AFC, that's just a cluster. But I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that the NFC wins the superbowl this year. Specifically, NO. I know they haven't looked the part for a couple weeks, but I think they'll ride their homefield advantage into Florida, and I think they'll just want it more than whoever they play. Unless it's Indy, in that case, Indy beats them.

The NFL playoffs are as wide open as I've ever seen. Out of the 12 playoff teams, I count nine teams (Colts, Pats, Chargers, every NFC team) that could make it to the Super Bowl and nobody would blink. Personally I think the Cowboys and Packers are most likely to represent the NFC; the Chargers or Colts the AFC. The Vikes seemingly are out of gas and the Saints messed up by taking a three game losing streak into the playoffs. Add that streak to the bye week the Saints have earned and by the time the Saints play next weekend, 5 weeks will have passed since the last Saints' victory. Too long, imo.

Holy freakin' cow that was a game yesterday - speaking of the Cardinals and Packers. Nice to see Sac so wrong so early. I can't claim I'm a huge Cards fan, but I am happy to see them doing well. And that was a game. Not much defense except for the last play of the game, and the largest collection of amazing catches in one game perhaps ever.

I do agree about the Saints going so long without winning a game. Of course, with how the Packers shredded the Cards D, and the fact that Green Bay had the second ranked D and the Saints D isn't supposed to be nearly as good, we could be looking at a 63-56 score next week.

I didn't watch the game, but I did catch the beautifully executed on-side kick in the (I think) the third quarter. Sure, it didn't matter (GB made it), but well done!

I'm pulling for the Jets, so you can bank on a Colts win.
