Wildcard Weekend

I almost didn't get to post this before the beginning of the NFL playoffs, but not that anyone really cares. Painfully, my Brownies once again did not make the playoffs and to make matters worse both the Steelers and Bengals are in. Believe you me, I'll be cheering the other Ohio team as they take on the Steelers. I'm a little jealous also, because I live near DC and the Redskins made the playoffs. For a couple of years now being in this area, I haven't paid the Redskins any attention because they stink. Then of course, the savior, Joe Gibbs came back and now look at them. A bonafide playoff team ready to make a run at the Super Bowl.

This will be an interesting year in the NFL playoffs. Can golden boy Tom Brady keep a perfect record and win another SuperBowl? Will this be Peyton's year? Is Seattle good enough to make it to the SuperBowl or will defense carrrying the Bears to Detriot? Perhaps the hottest team, the Redskins will continue to roll.

My prediction, Patriots and Bears in SuperBowl. Sorry Peyton and the Colts, but homefield advantage won't help you this year or any other year as long as the Pats are playing. Sure you all beat the Patriots earlier this year but I'm talking 9-0. That's the Brady's record in the playoffs. He doesn't lose and Peyton is known for not winning the big game. No National championship in your fours years at Tennessee and you've yet to break into the SuperBowl. So unless Jacksonville can win tonight, I'm sorry to say after another great season, you'll be back home watching the Patriots go for a three peat. As for Seattle, I'm not convinced they can win in the playoffs. Chicago has a great defense and a managable offense with Rex Grossman and great defense seems to win over all else. In fact, the Bears are going down the 2000 SuperBowl champions Ravens road. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if old Gibbs pulls one over everyones head and finds a way back to the SuperBowl. Yep, I had a sip of the koolaid. No matter what, I'm eagerly looking forward to the playoffs.
