Well some good games this weekend.  The Saints/Seahawks turned into a superb game, still cant believe 7-9 Seattle are alive !

Colts/Jets was superb, that late kickoff return was huge to set up the FG which helped the Jets win that one.  Some conservative play calling for the Colts i thought later on.

Chiefs/Ravens was totally one sided but i loved it !  Thought the Chiefs would lose like that, wasnt impressed with them last year.  Totally dominated by the Ravens.

Packers/Eagles - I'm personally glad the dog killer didnt win.  Good game though.  To be fair what a season Vick has had, his passing has been superb compared to his Falcon days where he seemed to want to scramble first.

Cant wait for the divisional playoffs, should be some great games hopefully.  All i want now is for the Patriots to lose and i'll be very happy !

It has been quite a good weekend for upsets. It's as well that I am not a betting man, out of 4 predictions I got only one right. The Ravens saved me from a 100% failure.

Most of the results went my way.  I wanted Peyton Manning to win as i'm a big fan but on the other hand Jets vs Patriots is a classic playoff game.  Come on Jets !  Still not that impressed with Sanchez, threw one great bullet late in the game but some of his other passes were poor.

KC were just awful, funny to watch, Cassell was just dire.  Yeah i know they made the playoffs and we didnt but they were shocking.

I'm a tradtionalist, dont like teams such as the Falcons in the Superbowl, doesnt seem right !  So i hope Atlanta and Seattle lose. Chicago/Green Bay for the NFC Game would be great

Chicago/Green Bay would be a classic and I hope that the Packers make it through. I do like Rogers more so than Cutler. Can anyone see past the Pats for the AFC?

So hope the Pats lose.  You never know but i cant see it sadly.  Incredible the season Brady is having when you look at some of his WR's and his 'rushing attack'.

I would prefer Chicago in the final, love the history they have (obviously GB as well) but would like the Bears in it, great old skool team.  Baltimore vs Pittsburgh as well, an epic. Really hope Atlanta dont get there, just feels weird talking about the Falcons and the Superbowl

Get in there !  Very very happy with the results.

Seattle i hated seeing in the playoffs, no way i wanted them in the Superbowl.  They were just dire compared to a week ago.  Glad Chicago won, great old skool team.

The Packers - again i'm very happy with this result, Atlanta in the superbowl ?  Just sounds weird, no thank you !  Another old skool team and i'm glad theyre facing Chicago.

Baltimore/Pittsburgh, hate Baltimore because of the Siragusa belly flop those years back.  Glad the Steelers won, can see them going all the way

How about those J-E-T-S !!  Tired last night but sooooooooooo happy to see them knock Man Utd out of the playoffs, now i can relax and i dont care who wins it as i never wanted NE to do it.  Great great game by the Jets, the Pats looked ordinary.  What was the matter with Brady ?  That 62 minute drive in the 4Q was ridiculous as they trailed by 10, and what a catch by Santonio Holmes !

Cromartie was stupid on that onside kick, so easily could have fumbled it, just grab the ball and kneel down.  Shon Greene could have done a 'Brian Westbrook' and knelt down at the 1 yard line instead of going in for the td and its game over.  Yeah would have been very difficult for the td (NE did that) and then recover the onside kick but the safe and clever option would have been to kneel down instead of going in.

But anyway i'm very happy with all the winners, those were the 4 i wanted, damn i should have put some money down !

Makes it all difficult to determine who will actually go through to the Superbowl. The match-ups make for a great spectacle this coming weekend. I hope the games live up to the expectations.

Exactly.  Its this time of year i'm mourning though !

I'm so used to seeing the Raiders, some of the playoff games this weekend (Eg Chicago/Seattle) bored me, just not the same.  Jets/Patriots was superb though

Cant wait for the championship games, already pre-ordered my Superbowl prog from Great American sports.
