GSoF: Championship Playoff Weekend

by R Dizzle on Jan 19, 2008 9:23 PM PST in NFL

Don't ya just love the NFL playoffs?

Romo choked! Romo choked! Romo choked!

Man, I love saying that! Weren't the Cowboys supposed to make it to the Super Bowl? In 4 quarters a poor performance by Tony Romo and a poised Eli Manning (did I really just write that?) the Cowboys were knocked out of the playoffs. Was it Romo's trip to Mexico with Jessica Simpson? Who knows. Does it really matter? Nope. Where does the blame go? Penalties - 11 for 84 yards.

Who is this guy and what did he do with Eli Manning?

Norv Turner can't win in the playoffs? What? The Chargers upset over the Colts was the most improbable situation to ever happen - LT was injured in the first half Rivers was injured in the 3rd quarter and yet the Chargers' backups pulled it together. Backup QB Billy Volek put together a 78 yard drive in the final 5 minutes of the game to take the lead. Then, the Chargers defense stepped in and stopped Manning and the Colts on 4th down. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Norv Turner knows what he's doing!

Maybe you should be more like your brother

Make the jump to see my Championship Weekend predictions!

NFC Divisional		Prediction
New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers
Wouldn't a Packers win just be right? Brett Favre, the man who just doesn't seem to stop, gets another Super Bowl appearance accompanied with players that watched him in his prime? With the way the Packers are playing, I have no faith that Eli can pull this one off (but then again, I had no faith the Giants would get this far anyway). The cast of Green Bay just is too good to be stopped by whatever the Giants could potentially bring. And its in Green Bay. I can see it now - in ten years, Disney's about to release "Timeless" staring Shia LaBeof as Brett Favre...

NFC Divisional		Prediction
San Diego Chargers@ New England Patriots
17-0. That alone is enough to put in my vote for the Patriots. They have the winning mentality to bring them the whole way, a team full of all the offensive weapons that any QB could imagine, and a defense that pulls together every week. The Chargers are too beat up to handle the Patriots. Say it with me now, 18-0

What are your thoughts and predictions about Championship Playoff Weekend?

Antonio Gates too?!

How the Superchargers won against Indy is beyond me. Next to the 1989 49ers with the likes of Joe Montana, Roger Craig, Tom Rathman, Brent Jones, Jerry Rice and John Taylor that still hold the record for largest margin of victory in the Super Bowl vs. Hall of Fame QB John Elway, the New England Pat's are the best I've seen since. Its hard to say that, but I think its true. SD. I feel sorry for you. Faaaaaaaaavre vs. Brady will be awesome. I hope it happens and the Pack crush the Pat's. Oh yeah, I guess that means Green Bay wins against NY. With no or a hobbled Rivers, a hobbled LT and no Antonio Gates, the Superchargers are doneskies. Look forward to a great Super Bowl down in Arizona!

Green Bay vs. NY

NY 13
GB 27

New England vs. San Diego

SD 17
NE 42

i dont think its fair

to say romo performed bad all 4 quarters, there was dropped passes and poor defense that lost the game too.

Anyway, I agree that Green Bay should be able to win and since Gates, LT, and Rivers aren't 100% they'll probably be destroyed unless their defense pulls something out of their ass.

Giants vs Chargers in the Superbowl!

Uh

It's gonna be a rematch of the Packers-Patriots Superbowl, no doubt. I hope that Brett Favre gets revenge on the Patriots for dropping Drew Bledsoe!!!!

The chargers were never really that good in the first place, and neither were the Giants. Two big mismatches.

I will greatly enjoy...

...playing the Imperial March through my stereo as Tom Brady hoists the Lombardi trophy. And then I'll take a sip of fine, sweet sparkling cider and chuckle coldly under my breath.

Dum-dum-dum...

Dum-duh-DUM, dum-duh-DUMMM...

I'll be humming along with you (if they win).

The Kid from San Mateo's resume is getting borderline ridiculous:

#1 all-time TD passes in a season
16-2 career in the playoffs
Fastest QB ever to 100 wins: 100-26, 16 games fewer than it toook #2 Montana, and 23 games fewer than #3 Stabler.
Bridget Moynihan, Gisele Bundchen, et al...
