NFL Wild Card Weekend

Those were 4 very lopsided games until the 3rd quarter of the Pack/Cards game.

Bengals could run but Coles was the only receiver that could get open against the Jets. Sanchez had a great game. Have not seen that very often.

Philly couldn't stop Dallas and the o-line couldn't get McNabb enough time to do anything nor give a running back much room to run.

Ravens totally dismantled the Pats' o-line and then ran the ball down their throats. That said, it's hard for me to get excited about a team that scores 33 and wins by a landslide and their QB has numbers like this:

Flacco 4 of 10 for 34 yards and 1 INT.

Warner, Rodgers and their receivers were absolutely amazing. I only saw the forth quarter, but that was the greatest passing display I have ever seen. It wasn't bad defense on most of the plays. I have never seen so many perfectly thrown balls into such tight coverage. The ball just out of reach or getting to the receiver just before the db gets around to swing at it. The catches were spectacular. One-handed, jumping, stretched all the way up, toes just staying, running through tight traffic. Sad that someone had to lose such a game.

I'm hoping for a Favre/Warner NFC championship game though all 4 QBs are in the very good to great range. I just figure that it could be the last time around for one or both of those guys.

I'm also hoping for Colts and Bolts because I really don't like the prospect of Sanchez/Flacco.
