NFL Divisional Round: Cowboys Disappoint; Chargers Shock the World

Dear Seattle Seahawks fans,

I tried to warn you.  I told you that your team wasn’t that good.  I told you they were frauds.

To make things worse, the Packers tried to hand you the game early.  You must have been ecstatic early with that short-lived 14-point lead.

Next year, when you win a weak division and nobody gives you any respect in the playoffs, please remember Saturday’s outcome. 

Love always,

SeanMC

PS: You can’t win in the playoffs without a running game.

PPS: That Brett Favre guy is pretty good.

PPPS: Too bad they didn’t panic and bench Grant after that second fumble, eh?

Dallas Cowboys 17, New York “Football” Giants 21

I asked Bleacher Report’s resident Cowboys fan Adrian Tezer if he had his very own “Oh crap, Wade Phillips is my head coach” moment yet. 

I’m relatively certain that if he hadn’t already, at the two minute warning of Sunday’s game, he had that moment.  

Once the camera flashed to Wade Phillips—looking as confused as he is rotund—we all knew the game was over.

If Jerry Jones is smart, he’ll fire Wade Phillips immediately.  If not, welcome to the 2008 Cowboys season—the same as the 2007 season. 

The problem with Tony Romo isn’t that he went to Mexico, it’s that he thought it was OK to go to Mexico.  The guy responsible for making the most critical decisions for the  Dallas Cowboys during the game thinks it’s a good decision to go to Mexico the week before a playoff game.

Not comforting, if I’m a Cowboys fan.

Apparently he should have been spending the bye week working on his two-minute offense.  A minute and a half to move 10 yards?  For the best offense in the NFC? 

It was nice to pretend this season, but Tony Romo is no Tom Brady, so stop the comparisons.  Replace Romo with Brady and the Cowboys are hosting Green Bay next week.

That offense was AWFUL in the second half.  

Hats off to the Giants.  Nobody expected them to get this far. 

Hats off to Eli Manning.  NOBODY expected him to play two nearly flawless playoff games in a row. 

He keeps this up and I’ll have to retract my statements back in Week 16, when I called his play “abhorrent, atrocious, awful, beastly, contemptible, cursed, deplorable, despicable, detestable, disgusting, execrable, heinous, hellish, horrible, loathsome, lousy, nauseating, odious, offensive, reprehensible, repugnant, repulsive, revolting, rotten, stinking, terrible, very bad, vile, and wretched.”

Clearly he’s at least a little better than that.
