NFL playoffs

scaeagles · 01-23-2006, 10:43 AM

I don't really have much to say, as both games were one sided, but I saw somehitng that simplay amazed me.

At one point in the third quarter, the quaterback rating for the Carolina QB Delhomme was.....1.8. 1 point freakin' 8? I have never seen anything like that.

Anyway, I've always been a Seahawks fan (love the 76 expansion teams, the other being the Bucs). Go 'Hawks!

I'm divided. I've always kinda liked the Steelers. Heinz Ward deserves a Super Bowl, as does Bettis. But at the same time, I really respect the way Seattle has played, they're a great team to watch (and Sean Alexander kept me afloat in my fanatasy league).

But I think in the end I'm gonig to be rooting for Pittsburgh. I almost always root for the underdog, plus, while I really hate them now, I was a Raiders fan back in the day, so I just can't quite bring myself to root for Seattle. Too many years of rubbing the 'Hawks' losses in to my cousin (who grew up in Seattle), it's ingrained now.

The guy who shows up to my sister's Superbowl party every year wearing his Steeler's jersey won't look nearly so pathetic this year.

Seattle? Pitts?

Seesch, looks like I suddenly find myself with an extra free Sunday.

I've seen a QB rating of 0 before. In fact, the Cowboys put a 0 on Jeff Garcia when he was the QB for the Browns last year.

Pitt is favored to win.

Of course I'll root for the Hawks, but I can't help but wonder if that will jinx them....

I'm just astounded they are even in the Superbowl. I can't remember the last time I had any hope for that team. I think I was in High School, back in the Zorn days.

Was it Jim Zorn or Dave Kreig who led them to the AFC (they only moved to the NFC a few years ago) championship game in....84, I think? I can't remember how long Zorn played.

To be contrary to GD (which is shocking, I know), one of the reason I like the Seahawks is that even when they would win 4or 5 games a year, two of those were often against the Raiders in AFC West play. Never a Raiders fan. Lyle Alzado gave me nightmares, and Al Davis was (is) a moron.

I just looked up how the QB rating is calculated. What a pain in the butt. Who comes up with that stuff? I'd summarize, but there is no way to summarize.

wendybeth · 01-23-2006, 12:45 PM

Ugh, I can't remember....It seems to me that it was Kreig, even though Zorn was still with them. If memory serves, he was sidelined due to injuries or some such thing. I could look it up, but I'm too lazy.

I'd look it up, but I just looked up the damn QB rating calculation and now my brain hurts.
