Stroll Down the NFL Boulevard Wildcard Weekend

Stroll Down the NFL Boulevard Wildcard Weekend

They Get up every morning from their long clock’s warning, and take the 8:15 in to the City. Wow what a weekend. Are you kidding us? Without the pretenders this week, without those just finishing off their season we will have a hard time picking certain teams of the week. But we shall give it a shot. Are you ready? Are you ready for the whirlwind that is the Wildcard weekend? We are. So, start the music…

First we shall start in the Emerald City, Seattle. All the experts said that playing Seattle would be the best thing for Washington. For three quarters the Seahawks held the Redskins to no points. Then Sean Taylor took over for about 3 minutes in the forth quarter, not bad for a dead guy. All the emotion that Washington used to get to the playoffs was exhausted in the fourth quarter as they watched the wind (or Sean Taylor’s Breathe) blow the ball just left enough to make it no good. Seattle used that good fortune to Score 22 more points. Thanks mostly to the two Todd Collins interceptions returned for touchdowns the Seahawks ran past the Redskins. It was a very emotional month, and game as players were talking to Taylor all through out. Nothing good can come from talking to Ghost, just ask Dr. Peter Venkman. The only thing left in Seattle was the remains of the Stay Puft marshmallow man.
Final Score was Redskins 14 Seahawks 35. 14 – 35 equals 21 we guess Sean Taylor was here

Up next we move across the country to Pittsburg, and the Vaunted Steel Curtain Defense. This was a great game. It had lots of everything that you need for a great game, drama, and suspense. Pittsburg wanted to make sure that, the game when they played Jacksonville, was a fluke, so they took the opening Kickoff and drove 80 yards for a score. The offense took the rest of the half off with three punts and 3 interceptions. Jacksonville took advantage of Pittsburgs ineptitude to build a lead of 14 points at half. Then in the Second half Big Ben and the offense went to work scoring like a convict on a conjugal visit. They put up 22 points after a visit with Coach Mike Tomlin. Thinking that 29 points was enough to win the offense gave the defense a chance to prove that “defense wins Championships”. With 2:38 left in the game and the Steelers needing a stop, the Jaguars drove down the field like something going through a goose, and in the end, so to speak, it stunk just as bad to Steelers fans. Well it just goes to show that Defense wins Championships, but Offense wins games.
Final Score was Jaguars 31 the Steelers 29. This is what playoff football is all about.

Let’s move down south into the fun and sun of Florida home of the Buccaneers. Well the Team from Gotham came to FLA and kicked some Buccan tail. Basically the Buccaneers quit playing sometime before Christmas trying to rest their player for the playoffs. Someone should have told Jon Gruden that the playoffs start this weekend, because they didn’t show up at all. 5 punts in 10 series nice, let’s add in 2 interceptions and an end of half to that and that only left 2 series to score on. So we should all look to the south and see our Birth Canal Team of the Week the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Poor Jeff Garcia just couldn’t get anything going he was heard saying after the Game “Oh no we lost the Buccan game to these guys?” We guess that was a good loss against New England. Ellie Manning was efficient and threw 2 touchdowns but no any interceptions which was good. The running game accounted for 30 carries and 110 yards which was not bad. So we guess you guys got what you wanted, a win. Have you ever had the feeling that something just isn’t right? In the last four games Ellie has been spectacular; with a 48.9% for 191.3 yards per game with 6 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Nice Stats for a quarterback that is 2 and 2.
Final Score was Giants 24 Buccaneers 14. Is one win enough to keep your Coaches job?

And now for something completely different, a game in San Diego, Norv Turner was faced with the task of winning a game in the playoffs. Filled with the emotion of a playoff game that was nearly blacked out at home, the Chargers, came out in the first with a flurry of offensive production, with drives that ended in the following; Punt, punt, punt, (Sound familiar), Interception, and Missed field goal. Wow they gained 78 yards in the first half. Very nice. After half time we can only assume that the Cialis finally kicked in, and they began the second half with 3 scoring drives all 72 yards or more. Way to use the long one to score Norv. Hey Tennessee with 66 yards in the second half you showed us exactly what you are, a little light in the loafers. You guys need to learn how to finish a game, we mean the people paid their money you guys need to put on show. It was like looking at the store mannequins sure they look good standing there but can they dance? We doubt it.
Final Score was Titans 6 Chargers 17. Don’t let Norv get too close to the Mannequins.

Well there you have it the first four playoffs dreams have crashed on the rocks. Some have asked for predictions for this week so we will predict. 17, 24, 38, 16, 10, and the rest is too close to call.
And we’ve been taking care of business every day,
Taking care of business in every way.

And remember like we always say…..
