By The Pigskin of Our Teeth: The Wild Card Edition

Two southpaw quarterbacks. I assume that's rare. PROTECT THE FOOTBALL. Young QBs in the playoffs. There's nothing like it... thank God. Actually, I always thought Simms got too much of the blame in college for Texas always losing to better Oklahoma teams. But that's me. PROTECT THE- you know what, I give up. The Redskins have about 10 yards of offense. Max, we've found the new T.O. and his name is Sean Taylor. Or maybe he's the new Bill Romanowski. Whatever. That right there is some bullshit. Can you throw it any better than that? TOUCHDO- oh, no. Well, rules are rules, I suppose.

This one isn't gonna be a cakewalk by any means... the Jags' defense is better than people realize. No snow? Disappointing. No Tedy? Strange. No Dillon? Problem. But the Jaguars aren't helping themselves by not even attempting to run the ball. TROY BROWN LIVES!! Seriously, where's he been all year? The Jaguars weren't even trying on the Watson touchdown; they'd given up at that point. I'll tell you this: the Pats play that first half next week and they'll lose by 17.

Here's the thing: There are Panthers that can stop Tiki. There are no Giants that can stop Steve Smith. See? And Tiki being bottled up like he has been isn't helping Eli's growing pains any. Foster's running like a crazy man. I see it's time for Plaxico's yearly playoff vanishing act. Ouch. That's a mild surprise. The zero, that is.

Blood hatred~~~~ Oh no. That can't be good. Although you can do a hell of a lot worse than Jon Kitna for a backup (trust me). What's going on out there? Was the field indiscriminately booby-trapped before the game? Now you start to worry about the inevitable breakdown and hope Ben doesn't get his shit together in time. Whoops, too late. All right, let's tick them off: the Parker touchdown? Too easy. Polamalu almost repeating history? Not good. The field goal mishap? Regression. The direct snap to Randle-El followed by the bomb to Wilson? Sweet.
