First of all, I wish to give Tony Romo and the Cowboys significant kudos for beating an explosive Philadelphia team on Saturday. They eliminated a huge monkey off their back. I plan to say it once again; the Philadelphia Eagles are the most overrated team in football. When you lose to the Oakland Raiders in the routine season, you do not should have to make the playoffs. The Jets defense did a terrific job of confusing and flustering Carson Palmer all day. Because he was no where to be discovered when his team required him most, Chad Ochostanko must change his name to Chad the Magician. The Bengals kicker intend to be searching for work after missing 2 field goals that would have kept the Bengals in the game.
Wild card football resumes on Sunday including 2 teams that have actually played one another in the routine season. In the very first meeting back in week 4 of the routine season, the Ravens and Pats decreased to the wire. Baltimore receiver Mark Clayton dropped an easy catch on 4th down that sealed the win for New England, 27-21. In my opinion, Baltimore is way better than their 9-7 record suggests due to the fact that the Ravens lost 5 online games by 6 points or less. Arizona is hoping for a various result after resting a few of their starters versus Green Bay the last game of the year. Because they are jelling offensively and defensively, Green Bay may be the group no one desires to face in the NFC. With that said, let’s look into this Sunday’s match ups.
Baltimore Ravens (9-7) @ New Cameron Heyward Jersey (10-6) (Sunday, January 10, 2010, 1pm ET, CBS) A lot of fans and experts intend to select the Patriots to win this game because the Pats are at home (8-0 in the regular season), and might have the very best quarterback/head coach combo in NFL history with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. They will spoken “The Patriots do not lose at home with Brady and Belichick.” I would inform those specialists and fans they are dead incorrect. Do not undervalue the Baltimore Ravens by any means.
I wavered back and forth on making the only unbeaten team in football history as the second Super Bowl team of all time. Nevertheless, I simply might not place them over my choice for top. Miami played almost perfect football on both sides of the ball the whole season. Their “No-Name Defense” enabled the least points in the league during the season, and their offense had 3 great running backs in Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick, and Eugene Morris. Quarterback Bob Griese was an excellent field general, and after he decreased in week 5 with an injury, backup Earl Morrall led Miami in winning the last 9 games of the regular season.
When in truth it was a big missed opportunity, many see 7 wins as this great accomplishment. Exactly what is going on around Rams Park has to do with developing a champion and being a champion isn’t going to Seattle and losing to a team that you are better than. We may recall at the 2010 season as a stepping stone to bigger and much better things, however nothing is guaranteed in the NFL. This team could just as quickly be back to 5-11 or 4-12 next season and after that what did this season mean? When opportunities come knocking you have to grab them by the throat. The Rams didn’t do that on Sunday. Was the lesson discovered? The response is.we will not understand for another 10 to 11 months which is what is sad about the trip to Seattle.
