Surprise!! Surprise!!

Man, was this weekend a pretty rough one in the NFL playoffs. It was so rough for me it may take 2 or 3 days to get over...lol...j/k. But anyways, it proved to be quite a surprise indeed:

The New York Giants made sure that their third showdown against Dallas this season was a charmer & did they ever make the motto "Third time's the charm" work in their favor as they knocked off the Cowboys 21-17. Next opponent: the Green Bay Packers (who kick tail in any weather, even @ snowy & cold Lambeau Field where they dismantled Seattle). Could this be one heckuva game or what? The Giants think so now that they've got a divisional monkey & yet another playoff obstacle off their backs. Are they poised to make history against Brett Favre? I'm not so sure but from the looks of things they just as well could.

Then we've got my beloved Colts. What happened, guys, what happened? Well, I thought they'd get revenge against San Diego & they were on their way to doing just that until Marvin Harrison's fumble turned things around in short order. Then the bugbear which plagued Peyton Manning in his last encounter against the Bolts -interceptions - really shot Indy in the foot big time. Sure, they had a chance to win in the end but it just wasn't meant to be; it seriously hurts to lose their final game ever in the RCA Dome & lots of Colts fans are echoing my sentiments & feeling my pain.

Which leads us to...them New England Patriots. I thought the Jags would have an awesome chance to upset the Pats at their own game & for awhile that's what they did. But Tom Brady & company, it seems, can do no wrong when the chips are down or when they've got doubters hoping they take a quick exit from the playoffs. And I sure hope they knock San Diego around quite a bit on both sides of the ball next weekend. I mean, New England is plain unstoppable right now; yes, they're that awesome. (Although I just can't stand the Patriots at all!!)

And that's all for now. But man, this weekend has been kinda rough on me & other diehard Colts fans (bandwagon supporters don't count), diehard Dallas fans, on down the line to Jacksonville. Seriously, it's been just that.
