Tonight's edition will be short and to the point. One: The lady cooked tacos tonight and tacos just happen to be my favorite meal. Two: It's the NFL playoffs edition and for starters the Broncos decided to bench Brandon Marshall. A person, mind you, that has been a thorn in their side since the beginning. A person for whom they high school expelled from preseason activities before this season. A person who has personally campaigned for his own departure. ALL THE WHILE maintaining his go-to status on the field, from the start of the season keep in mind. (did I mention he sat out of the preseason? oh yeah I did.) A person who just caught 21 passes, 36 over the last three weeks and has over a hundred on the season! With a bye and this "benching" included. That's why this deserves it's own posting. So here goes....
AFC
*I'm kind of disappointed that the Steelers didn't make it. Not so much because I wanted them to defend or Big Ben, but cause my Denbigh man Mike Tomlin. But at the end of the day that slide killed alot more than they thought. Oh well.
BTW My Bills finished 6-10. I predicted 3-13. Yay TO. Tim Tebow and Bill Cowhger here we come. My dream? Vick two year deal. I instantly purchase said Vick Bills jersey. Tebow back up until we realize he's a beast TE. So we convert. Oh what a team!
Byes Indy, San Diego
Speaking of SD. Who Knew?! And don't lie and say you did. You, just like I, both see LT's best years behind him. And we all knew Phillip Rivers was good, but man. He made me a believer. I now know they can succeed after LT's inevitable 2011 departure. Just make way for Sproles already. Speaking of washed up RB's....
Round 1
Patriots V. Ravens
Fred Taylor's corpse along with Brady & Co. will beat the Ravens. Why? Experience. The Patriots are clicking on all cylinders while the Ravens have been playing win or die football for weeks. They're exhausted. They have Flacco as QB. and The Patriots badly want a rematch with the Colts. Outcome Pats 27- Ravens 14
Cincy v The J E T S Jets JetsJets!(maybe)----typed at halftime of Jets/Bengals game
My hometown boys did it. This is my team that isn't named Buffalo. Well it's my ladies families team so that MAKES it my second team. But after watching this "perfect" first half, as it was quoted, I'll go ahead and sit back as Andre Johnson's frustration boils over. Hey Dre, there'll be a spot open in Buffalo after Mr. Say All, Do Nothing leaves. And Vick's there. I wish I could slip him a Bills rufee. Anyways, I believe this game proved exactly what the end result of this first round match up will be. The Jets D is just too much for the Bengals inconsistent O to overcome. 85 can't shake Revis so they have no threat. Unless you count Larry Johnson. But then you'd have to be playing Beat the Female. Didn't I see Dahni Jones hosting his own reality show recently?
Outcome Good Guys 20-10
NFC
Byes NO, Minn.
Here is where I will give a hint of what's gonna happen next round. I'll go old school and use the old saying, "It's all about how you're playing going into the playoffs". Whomever the Saints get next week, one team is going in weak. Stay tuned.
(I just came back from eating six tacos)
Round 1
Dallas V. Philly
Dallas and the worst superstar QB ever get a quick rematch against Philly, whom they just shut out! Wow. That's how you play when something large is at stake. Hmmm, I might be on to something. The G-Men pulled a Leon Lett and made asses of themselves in their last game in Giants Stadium. Then took another nice pile of crap today. The Eagles decided they wanted to give the division to Dallas and extended their New Years vacation. Do I smell a NFC East plague. The Deadskins had it practically all season, then the G-Men, then the Eagles. Well it is the playoffs, and we all know what DBag Romo does in the playoffs. J/S. Outcome Eagles 31-21
*side note: If you did not know my hatred for Tony Romo runs deep. One day soon I'll dedicate an entire blog to why he is THE worst QB I have ever seen. Not since Federline have I seen fame so unjustly warranted. And that smug smirk. He hasn't even won a playoff game!!!! Woo-Sah What a bum.
Green Bay V Arizona
As much as I want to say I care about this game I just don't. I predict Woodson will be able to shut down a WR. The bad part is the Cardinals have TWO really good receivers. Warner's always money in the playoffs. Cardinals 35-28
Here's something to ponder? Now I want you to answer this seriously. No BS because whatever your mind thinks is the truth. This is a two part-er. First: I need you to have watched the New Year's Eve ball drop on ABC, if you haven't go watch the telecast via your Internet source for retrieving videos, and Two: ask yourself this question.
Should Dick Clark really have hosted.
Terrible.
rist and foremost yes dick clark should have hosted. and what happened to ol lang sign... or whatever its called. they played some pop single at the stroke of midnight instead. hey let's just go ahead and commercialize the countdown too. the grammy for song of the year also gets played at midnight. rediculous. so whats the difference between braylon "can't catch" edwards and brandon marshall? no not stats.. edwards and the jets are in the playoffs..why you ask? because they let him play! this is not hs or college ball! no single person's attitude can ruin a team. there's too many players in football, you can't have a full 52 man rost of weak minded indivituals....child please(in the wors of ocho cinco). look at TO the most notorious...what did any team do after he left...nothing! nothing of importance..can anyone name a quality replacement that came after him the next season? roy williams sucks, the 49s had many other problems, and the eagle definitely got lucky a few seasons later with desean "lil diva" jackson. those J E T S will get a L O S S! WHY? because of the same reason the steelers are out of the playoffs..no faith in their run game. the steelers need to be faithful to a back and let them get into a rhythm( we'll take you in new york next season willie parker)...and the JETS are showing TJ just as much love as the Jags did Taylor his last two years in Jville. some one please tell rex ryan jones is your savior not sanchez! Let's go Cards..since my team is not in the playoffs i have to jump on some bandwagon...warner all the way! yes he should keep playing! i hate philly and those 'boys so screw that game! and no chris sproles is not going to be a 25 or 30 carry back, he's no MJD. maybe if they get neal back as a fullback. that man is 57 and can bench a house! LTs backups do look good, but i sure didn't see turner and P's falcons in the playoffs this year. they are at home just like eli and the boys
ReplyDeleteAfter all that I only disagree with your Sproles statement. Who knew MJD would carry 30 times. Sproles can definately take 20-25 a game while LT takes 10 end of your career Thermal Thomas-Dolphins carries. Win-Win.
