Wild card weekend

 

New Orleans @ Seattle

I can’t believe the results of this game. Truly cannot. On one hand this wasn’t a sloppy game. The saints played well, but they just didn’t come through in the clutch as often as I’d expect.  The game was over when Julius Jones fumbled the ball the possession after he scored a TD for the Saints. I’m a fan of the revenge td because the players who are cut or traded are often high energy when facing their former team. Unfortunately, that drive to make the big play often leads to low attention to small details like holding on the ball.

 

New York Jets @ Indianapolis

Much more interesting game. I figured once Vinateri made the 50 yarder the game was over. But Nick folk did it

Game MVP: Antonio Cromartie for the kick return which put the Jets in good position

 

Green Bay @ Philadelphia

Green bay was a popular upset pick. They kept vick looking mortal and the Philly offense was ice cold.

 

MVP: James Starks 123 yards
