It will be interesting. Mike was a success coaching a perennially young team with a top five QB. His defenses were always suspect. He had a good GM and free reign to coach. The Dallas dynamic is different.

Sorry Alas, I didn’t see your correction in an earlier post. I’ll make sure my table shows you at 2-2 instead of 1-3.

How weird were the Wildcards this year? 26 punters picked all four games. Not one of us got it right! No one predicted 4 for 4 - and this from guys who occasionally would get 14 games right during regular season play.

The Wildcards are usually pretty predictable. Not this year!

On the the Divisionals.

Mware is 1-3, yes, doh. Only 4 games I can still make a mistake. :-p

Bablyon though, I’m afraid the Saints did not win.

Sorry, been out all day...

Yes, I see that now. Why did I think they won?

Wishful thinking?

Nope. I am 1-3. In the real world, all my teams won. In this Bizarro World I’ve fallen into, no such luck.

Apparently nobody got 4 for 4 last weekend.

They were all exciting, close games with two OT’s. (NFL OT rules are still TERRIBLE - winner of the coin flip has a distinct advantage. When will these drug-soaked brains figure out a simple, fair OT scheme?) How about this non-rocket-science approach for OT games:
- Each team gets a chance with the ball once.
- After both teams have had the ball once, the team ahead wins.
- After both teams have had the ball once, if the score is tied, then sudden death.
Simple,easy, fair. Where’s the complication?

Anyway, they were exciting games and I don’t think any one thought all of the games would turn out the way they did. Probably why no one got 4 for 4.
