So no big deal if you missed the games this past Sunday, It was just the playoff games and in our opinion, the best 2 games of the season. 4 walked on, but only 2 walked off with their hands up in victory. The Six Seventeen Raiders vs the Hyde Park Patriots were first to square off in the middle of the field. They were slugging it out for the majority of the 2 hours. They were going back and fourth changing their players on the field and trying to give themselves the best shot of putting the other team away. Down by just 1 score, the Pats QB #34 Eddie found himself on the sideline after an injury on the field. Adnan takes his position behind the center, but he hasn't done that in a while. First snap under center, first pass of the day for him, and turns out, it was the first pik thrown. The Pats look like they got heart torn out as the defense takes the field. First pass by the Raiders after the pik, and it was for a touchdown. But #34 comes back on the field and makes it a game again. After being down by 2 they make up some ground and are done by just 1. Raiders get their second wind and keep the Pats from scoring again. The Raiders finally put the Pats away and as the clock ticks its last seconds away. The Raiders become the first team to get into the BIG game.
Now you would think that the Raiders would go celebrate, but they decide to stay to catch the NFC game. The defending Champs had people come and watch and the fans were all over the place. This NFC game seemed to be a big deal. Eagles vs Saints for the 4th time and these games are usually classics. 2 teams that mirror each other pretty nicely. Both played a defensive game like no other. It seemed like they didn't leave the middle of the field for hours. The Fresco Inc Saints start putting scores on the board and before you know it, it's a 3-0 game with the U.M. Eagles trailing. The Saints start to close the game up but the Eagles being who they are, finally changed their game plan and started to push a comeback. Both teams are one that if you fall behind, you can pretty much start packing up your duffel bags and trooping it back to your pov's. But again, this wasn't any old game. And these two teams do not know what quit is. With one last chance the Eagles QB tosses a deep pass on 4th and long to one of his sure handed WRs, Sticky Fingers himself. And when it looks like he catches it and starts to bring the ball down to his body for what looked like the tying score, and a chance to push this game into overtime, the ball slips down his chest and hits the ground for incomplete pass. The Saints get possession and kill the clock like it hurt a family member. Everyone gives each other love after the game and while the Eagles are walking off with thoughts of next season, the Saints walk off planning against the Raiders.
An awesome day, and if you missed it, well... you can buy the dvd but it won't do it any justice. Special thanks to ALL the fans that supported this thing of ours and show up to every game even in a hurricane. We love ya.
