I like the wild Card week better than divisional weekend because it seems the games are better and closer. A couple had interesting finishes this weekend but for the most part all four games this weekend weren't that close.
Seattle had complete control of New Orleans in fact only being down 16-0 at the half could have been worse for the Saints. The Hawks were trying to run the clock out the entire second half and to me bury who ever you play until the 4th quarter. Then start trying to end the game
I think Indy had too much emotion used up in coming back like they did against KC. Then the next issue is playing on the road. Those of you who believe in the pass happy NFL all four teams that won this weekend all won the the war of the ground game. Funny isn't that during the year the the passing touchdown record is broken nobody won by just flinging it. Tom Brady didn't even throw a touchdown.
Of all the games this weekend the SF/Carolina game went exactly how I thought. Cam and company simply aren't good enough against a very good defense. Carolina has as good of defense as anybody
And holding the 9er 's to 23 was great on their part. Panther fans have every reason to think the future is bright. You would expect Cam to continue to improve and hope the defense is just as good next year.
The Bronco -Charger game was simply a game where San Diego needed to stop Denver on third down they couldn't. They held Peyton to 24 but didn't score enough themselves. The weather did have and effect in this game 27 of the 41 points were scored when the team were going left to right on tour TV dial with the wind. This game was won because Peyton score a touchdown in each quarter going in the wind and San Diego scored none.
What we have is San Francisco travels to Seattle while New England heads west to Denver . The Super Bowl has great ratings regardless of what teams are in it but what is for sure that either Manning or Brady will be in the Super Bowl. Neither may be every ones darlings except for the media. they will now have three weeks to tell us how great one of them is. This week they will talk about both but the two Super Bowl weeks lord help us all from the media.
