Saturday's wild card NFL playoff games were dominated by the team that had already won the same game in week 17 or the final week of the regular season.
Sunday's first game saw the most mighty team of the decade the New England Patriots play as it was time for a new decade and new team of the decade losing by twenty at home.
The night cap of the weekend started and seemed destined to be like all the others as the Cardinals jumped to a 17-0 lead over the frozen tundraless Green Bay Packers.
The NFL is touting itself as a passing league these days and after three games and one quarter of the fourth running had dominated the three playoff games in the books.
Finally the quarterbacks took over and the end result may have been the most entertaining playoff game in NFL history. The way the offenses moved the ball winning the coin toss for overtime was a one way ticket to victory for Green Bay. Not so fast my friend" a fumbled touchdown put a capper on the second highest scoring playoff game in history. Who would have thunk it, that the winning score would come from the Cardinal's defense.
So now we are down to eight. This Saturday opening game will send Dallas to Minnesota. You have to give Tony Romo his due. He is now the third highest rated quarterback in NFL history and he will be going head to head with the most over hyped in Brett Favre.
Saturday night's prime time game will send Baltimore to Indianapolis to take on MVP Peyton Manning and the Colts. This will be the now Colts taking on the use to be Colts. Have the Colts killed their momentum losing on purpose their last two games? Can Baltimore really beat anybody good completing only four passes like they did this past Sunday?
Sunday's first game will send Arizona to New Orleans. This might be the game next weekend that it will take fifty to win. The team that actually makes a stop in this game may be the winner.
The late Sunday headliners will be the J-E-T-S taking on the San Diego Chargers. Has anybody noticed that the top four vote getters in the MVP voting will be playing for the first time next weekend. Manning,Brees.Rivers and Favre.
If the NFL has truly changed to a passing league, we will find out next weekend.
