Saturday Football - Results

Okay, if someone had told you that Peyton Manning would have five, FIVE, interceptions in two playoff games - AND THAT THE COLTS HAD WON BOTH OF THEM YOU WOULD HAVE SAID THEY WERE CRAZY. But that's exactly what has happened, and major kudos to the Colts defense, or as they are known, the much-maligned Colts defense. Make that were known. But if there's a goat in today's Ravens-Colts field goal extrvaganza it is the mediocre play of Steve McNair. Call me crazy but for all the talk of McNair as a warrior, playing hurt, etc., I have never ever felt he was a first echelon quarterback. He might not lose games but he also wasn't going to win games he shouldn't. I'm sure he did, but I also feel whatever he had this year might just be what he had left. If I'm Baltimore, I'm looking for a QB. And we know it's not Kyle Boller. And lets not forget his INT down on the goal line. Killer. BTW, before we anoint guys the next LT, the real LT, Lawrence Taylor, or the next Singletary, let them make plays game after game, year after year. Did anybody hear the name Adalius Thomas today? Didn't think so.
As for the Saints-Eagles, you've got to be happy for New Orleans. What a great game. Deuce. Reggie. Drew. Marques. And the defense comes up big when it has to. And the Eagles. Jeff. Brian. Donte. Blitzes. Big hits on both sides. How many of you thought of Marcus Allen reversing his field in the Super Bowl years ago when Reggie Bush goes East then West?
As for tomorrow, the weather in Chicago could be brutal, which means Rex could be worse than usual. And it's another week for Shaun Alexander and his O-line to get healthier. Tommie Harris is still out and I think the Seahawks, been there before in January, will win outright. Doesn't matter that they have no defensive secondary. Doesn't maatter that the Bears beat them like by 30 points earlier in the season. This Bears team, the past few weeks have shon, is not that Bears team. Go teal or whatever color those Seahawks jerseys are.
And as much as I hate Marty Schottenheimer as a coach who is afraid to play to win, I think his defense has too many playmakers for the Patriots to counter. And I think LaDainian will be the best player on the field not named Brady or Merriman. But that still means 2 out of the 3 are Chargers. Only Marty can hurt them nore than Rodney harrison healing overnight. Chargers win. Bolts win.
