If you are a Blackbird or Gryphon there are sports legends that when their first name is mentioned you know who they are.  Buck  for Buck Williams,  Phil for Phil Ford and Danny for Danny Talbott.
If you go to the UNC Health Care Website they have a feature on Rocky Mount's  Danny Talbott.

One third of the NFL playoff field has been eliminated and another third will go down this weekend.  There are teams riding high and riding hopes of future dreams but we will be down to the final four by Monday.

First Game of the weekend is a 4:30 kickoff Saturday.  There one team that could send New England Home.  Baltimore at  New England.   I don't see New England is visioned as a physical football team but they are.  Baltimore can match them blow by blow.  You know it has been 11 years since the Patriots have won a super Bowl but the world has New England on that mantel  that they just won last year.  New England's home field in the playoffs hasn't been there over the last few home playoff games.  Ravens getting right  at the right time.  Baltimore 31 New England 24

Carolina for the second week in a row gets prime time on Saturday night as they travel to Seattle who for the last month have looked like Seattle that won the Super Bowl last year.  I am still not a Cam Newton fan.  He throws his balls too high for my comfort.   He will be under pressure the entire game.  On the other side of the ledger the Panther D has been playing Super Bowl style.  If this game is close who do you think will throw a pick at the wrong time?  Seattle 24 Carolina 13

Dallas heads to the frozen tundra and Green Bay.  I think Dallas got a big monkey off their back finally winning a playoff game with Romo as Quarterback.  So now they get to go North and play the team with the best quarterback when healthy and he didn't look too healthy the last game of the season.  Packer D is not great.  If Rogers is 80% I'll take him over Romo who probably can let it loose now that he has win under his belt.  Green Bay 38 Dallas 33

Indianapolis at Denver.  High scoring Colts versus the new Denver Bronco's   I see Denver has a rather good defense and I don't see that the Colt's have much in the way of a D.  Denver not scoring as much since they became a run oriented team but not losing much either.  The only winning team Indy beat all year was Cincinnati and they beat them twice.  Denver 33 Indy 28.

If all of this comes to pass then it will be Green Bay at Seattle  and Baltimore at Denver playing for the chance to go to the Super Bowl. I don't see a Seattle Denver game again.  we will talk about that next week.
