NFL Divisional Playoffs running thread

[MC Sports Guy]

A few thoughts the morning after:
1. The Seahawks-Bears game was a lot better than I thought it would be.
2. I told you all the Seahawks would cover, but they didn't win so hate on me now.
3. I am sure this has been discussed, but I'm not rereading 30 pages - but I was disappointed in the play-calling late, such as rolling Hasselbeck out on third-and-3 rather than not giving it to the suddenly revitalized Shaun Alexander.
4. Hasselbeck's interception may have cost the Seahawks their season.
5. Message to Joe Buck, the Seahawks didn't miss a golden opportunity just because Jordan Babineuax didn't intercept that pass. In fact, that would have been a very tough interception, I just want to know why he didn't knock it down.
6. I didn't see the Saints game so I don't know how sound there defense is, but if they have a better secondary than the Seahawks then the Bears are in trouble.

Only, 27 days until pitchers and catchers report.

I'm not sure why they rolled out Hasselbeck, either, The Bears defensive line is at least quick, even if they weren't getting to him up the middle. But if you give them a few extra seconds to shed a block and just chase, they'll get you.

Maybe Babineaux missed a chance, but the Bears missed a few, too. Berrian dropped a surefire touchdown pass, and there were a good handful of other drops. Rex's only interception should have never been an interception.

I agree with the interceptions that weren't, I was just annoyed when the FOX announcers kept saying over and over that Babineaux should of intercepted it. Well it was third down, so all he really has to do is knock it down - which would have been much easier - and the Bears are forced to punt.

a few not-so-random thoughts...

1-As a Bears fan, I'm thrilled for the win, but awfully damn nervous right now.

2-Maybe the Pats were a bit disrespectful (I'm not totally sold on that, though), but Tomlinson looked like petulant child, storming off the field as though his mommy had taken away his favorite toy.

3-Marlon McCree defended his boneheadedness after the game, saying "Why should I knock the ball down?" Oy.

4-Tom Brady? One of the greatest ever. Perhaps not all that startling a revelation, but it should be said. Dude just wins games.

5-This just feels like Peyton's time to reach the Super Bowl, even if he has little or nothing to do with it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Patriots fan, but I think Tom Brady played like crap yesterday and if the Chargers hadn't been even worse (and coached by Marty) they would have won.

Lightning Crashes? That doesn't even make sense. THUNDER crashes, not lightning.

I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me.

Was there ever a headline thread for this weekend's games? Because there had to be someone who thought of using GO **** YOURSELF, SAN DIEGO as a headline. Right?

History is a wonderful guide. It suggests that Manning and Dungy are allergic to January. Eventually, they'll prove it. I'm not worried.

Don't worry. When the Colts lose next week, I look forward to your passionate defense of your boy Peyton. : :

Yep, and Peyton was supposed to lose this game, too. Yeah, he's thrown five picks in two playoffs games. Brady threw three yesterday and was lucky to escape the goat's role because of that lousy fumble.

Just had to make sure that my first post since coming back from vacation was to say I told you so.

Hey douchesnort you know I wasn't talking to you in that post right?

You shut your mouth and reply when posted to!!!!

Take it up with Live.

oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.

This song helped make 1994 royally suck.

The song did suck after more than three listens, but it wasn't released as a single until 1995.

1994 was the domain of the far better "Selling The Drama," "I Alone," "All Over You" and, of course, "**** Towne."

A radio DJ someplace mixed that song with sound bites from the Murrah building bombing. Heart-rending.

Stay classy, San Diego.
