Loser of the Weak: Basically every team that lost has someone to blame. Even though Big Ben redeemed himself with a terrific second half, his 3 first half interceptions were crucial in the Steelers demise. Todd Collins, Clinton Portis, and Santana Moss were far from impressive in the 35-14 defeat to the Seahawks. The Redskins were shutout for the first 3 quarters. Portis was held to 52 yards on just 20 carries. While Collins was able to throw four 4th quarter TDs two of them were to Seahawk defenders. One of those was on a ball that Santana Moss quit on. For Tampa Bay the disappointing thing had to be that Eli Manning went 20 for 27 with 2 touchdowns and 0 picks against the number one ranked pass defense. Finally, Tennessee was only able to manage 2 field goals and 138 yards passing in their 17-6 loss to San Diego....
Momentum means something unless it doesn’t mean anything – It is interesting just how much or how little momentum means. The Jaguars lost by 2 touchdowns to Houston by sitting most of their key guys, but still managed to play a great playoff game. The NY Giants played all their guys in a meaningless game against the New England Patriots while Tampa rested their starters for 3 weeks hoping to be healthy. New York appeared to be the sharper team...
Prediction #1: Seattle (11-6) at Green Bay (13-3) - These teams last playoff meeting was in 2003 when Al Harris returned an interception for a touchdown in OT to win the game. That win was the last playoff win for the Green Bay Packers. These two teams boast very talented and deep receiving cores. They like to spread out the defense and hit a variety of different targets. There are a couple keys that I see right of the bat....
