On To The Playoffs

So the finak regular season game was a good one. Chargers vs Browns and Chargers were beaten by a very hungry team. The Browns finished the 2012 season with their first win of the season.
Raiders wanted to get another game in before they go into the post season. Saints did not show up for their last game and I am sure some penalty will be coming because of that.
Falcons vs Eagles was a very interesting game to watch. It seemed as if they were both playing to win and gibing it everything they had even though they play each other again this upcoming sunday. Its good to see teams playing hard even though they know it won't change anything. It actually looked as if everyone had some fun out there and we are certain that it isn't going to be like that during the playoffs.

Playoff Picture Complete

So wk10 brought a couple of games that was fun yo watch. Raiders vs Browns was cool to see the big boys laugh and joke around as they maintained the a competitive level. They both knew it was for fun. Browns are trying to get their first win and Raiders were trying to have them earn it.
Falcons vs Chargers was basicalky the samething. Falcons trying some new stuff out and getting some injured players some much needed rest. They looked as if they were having fun out there but they wanted to see what the next would bring.
Eagles vs Saints had a meaning to it. Eagles win and they clinch a playoff . They lose and they would have to beat a team they werent able to beat all season. Saints played the Eagles in the playoffs last year and took them out. Eagles came into this game with that in mind.  Saints cane into it with the same in mind. A very well played game. A tough game by both sides and the end proved to be a very emotional. Some players upset others extremely happy and just about everyone else just plain worn out. Falcons vs Eagles and the Raiders vs Chargers.

Note To The League

So in the begining of the season we thought a coupke of teams were gonna stand out. We thought it could be interesting to watch the once mighty Browns, the only two time champs, and see if with the takent and work they put in... if they viuld finally look like the Browns of old. Unfortunately that didn't happen. They look like they will be known for the opposite. With 2 games left, they need to do something quickly or they will be the only team not to have a win.
We wanted to watch Raiders also. We wanted to see if the defending champs would be suffering that hangover. They managed to to keep their roster intact and added a couple of new threats. They maintain the same level of play but have new players standing out. This team does not look any different than the team that won it all last year. Can you say back to back?

2Wks Left!!!!

So we have just two weeks left in the regular season. And after this past sunday, our AFC playoff picture is complete. The Chargers will be meeting the defending champs for a shot to go to the big show. The Chargers got in after the Browns lost to the Eagles.
Eagles are starting to pick things up now. Did they plan it this way or did something happen in the begining of the season via injuries that forced them to put people in spots they werent comfortable in? Either way, it makes for a great story because this week is was just made that more important after the Falcons pushed themselves foward by beating the only team to beat them this season. Saints are now forced to win this upcoming sunday or become fans come the post season.
You gotta love the tension. You gotta love this thing of ours.

We Are Almost Done

Wk8 just went down, and teams are starting to feel the pressure. Biggest week ever. We thought it was just going to be the defending vs the very hungry Falcons that was going to be the most intense game played, we were kinda wrong.
    The big boys did show out. They were not fighting to stay on top of their division. It was like they were trying to prove to the other team that they were top dog. Both teams came in focused and tensed up. Falcons took a 2 score lead and the Raiders were taken off their game a little. Players lost their cool and risked getting kicked out of the league. The Falcons turned the ball over a couple of times and the Raiders took advantage. There's a good change that you will see these two teams in the superbowl and its gonna be a game to watch.
     The Saints with everything to lose, took on the Browns who are trying to win their first game since wk1 2011. Saints did not take the Browns seriously and it showed. Browns almost took this away from the Saints and had the Saints arguing among themselves. The Browns real good but ran out of gas towards the end. Saints pulled it together and came off the fiekd with another win.
     Eagles vs Chargers was a game we wanted to see but didn't expect it to be as physical as it ended up being. We find out later that someone from tbe Chargers team was posting some disrespectful statements on Facebook. These two teams know each other pretty well even though this is the first time they play each other this season. They have spent all spring and the begining of the summer lkaying against each other and practicing together. But those comment must have hit a cord with the Eagles because they came out swinging and they were hitting everything that moved. Their special teams need some work but the offense and defense were focused and it showed as they came off the field with another much needed win.

Thoughts

So with the season more than half way done... we have an idea how this thing is gonna end. It may seem as if we are stating the obvious but we really feel that the Raiders are going to defend their crown against the best team in the NFC... the Falcons. We think it's going to be a hard fought game and it's going to be a low scoring event. There are going to be drives that will end pretty quick but we have the Falcons just squeaking by to take the crown away from the Raiders. Don't try to send a hit squad. We are just speaking our minds and we see something everyone may be missing.

Time To Separate

The Raiders clinch a playoff berth with a win over the Saints. That leaves the Chargers and Browns to battle for the last spot. Chargers met the Browns and after a very physical game, the Chargers gave themselves a 2 game lead over the 2time former champs.
The Falcons took on the Eagles for the second time this year. This game was one of the best games of the season. A very competitive game that was very important for both teams. Falcons join the Raiders with a 6-1 record and letting the rest of the NFC know that are not done.
Looks like the Eagles and Saints are gonna be fighting it out to meet a Falcons team that is highly motivated to win it all. We can't wait to see who steps it up for wk8.
