Wild Card Saturday

  • First let me pretend I care about the NFC. The Washington Tampa game was just plain ugly -- some good defense, but how can offenses be so incompetent?
  • The Pats and Jags continued the momentum of the NFC's ugliness in the first half. No Bruschi, Dillon doing nothing, and Jacksonville's enormous D-line and secondary playing strong made me a bit nervous.
  • Now some compliments:
    • For a few months this offseason, Troy Brown wasn't a Patriot. Last night he did a good job getting open for a touchdown, and he played a little defense too.
    • Can we compare Willie McGinest to Bruce Smith? Or should the question be can we compare Bruce Smith to Willie McGinest?
    • Andre Davis, Chad Brown, and Monty Beisel all made plays!
    • In other shocking news, Madden gave some good analysis -- especially when he showed how Peterson's cast prevented him from wrapping up Watson and how Samuels tricked Leftwich for the interception.
    • Jaguars look like a team with a good future.
