NFL Playoffs 2011 (Discussion and Pick'em Game)

First off, Saints defense didn't come to play today. I'm sorry but I can't really give credit to Seattle, they weren't supposed to put 41 points on the board against the champs, they played atrocious defense against a sub par offensive team. They deserved to lose this game.
Regarding the Jets/Colts game, that last return by Cromartie just was too much for Indy. I mean that return alone took up almost 50 yards so that was just poor execution on special teams when you needed to stop them back at the 20.
Well, so far I am 0-2 and I wouldn't be surprised if I go 0-4 based on how my luck is. I hope tomorrows games are just as exciting, looking forward to it.

Wow Chiefs actually looked good in the first half and then total collapse. I don't think Haley is a particularly great coach. I still think Baltimore's offense is lacking but their D looked better than ever. Here is to the Steelers and Ravens pounding each other into the ground. No idea who I am going to pick in that one.
Well with the weekend wrapped up I finished at 1-3. Sigh, this just isn't my year. The Chiefs were in it for the first half but in the second half the Ravens decided to put an end to anything resembling a close game. What a interception in the end by Green Bay, Eagles just were not very impressive today, at all.
Next week theres going to be some might fine games to watch. I'm going with New England over the Jets, Pittsburgh over the Ravens, Falcons over the Packers and Chicago over Seahawks.
I think the best game is going to be Pit vs Bal, it's going to be an absolute slug fest, punch you in your mouth type of game. In the cold Pittsburgh weather too! I look forward to watching a 10-7 type of scoring game won by Pit of course.

I despise the Jets. And I never used to even give a rats a** about them. It's amazing what one man(Rex Ryan) can change. Did you hear his nonsense about manning being the best qb because he studies the game? And that tom Brady would like to think he is but that it's probably more of a belichick thing? Tom Brady is > than manning and it's almost reaching the point of not being up for debate anymore.
My suspicions that Todd Haley was the reason for the Chiefs collapse appear to have been confirmed. This would certainly explain why I went into half time thinking I nailed this pick and then right from the outset of the 3rd quarter it quickly went to hell, beginning with that idiotic sweep call.

I've read so many quotes from Rex I am not even sure what to believe. Like did he really say that Manning would have watched the football game on TV (Tom Brady was in NY watching Lombardi on Broadway). Its not like TB isn't going to spend 40+ hours this week looking at tape from that game. It appears other people's feet aren't the only ones he's obsessed with sticking in his mouth.
