Damn, that is about spot on.
Although “Fat Gilbert” could run down every person here on the bbs that ISN’t a fat bastard and demolish them in a sprint, no red flag on the obvious, no field goal to wake up the scoreboard operator, and special teams that was not so special, was pretty disappointing.
STILL, although I agree a depleted Packer team might have a excuse in lack of personal, there is no excuse for the rest of the players paid for playing, to just seemingly disregard playoff urgency and intensity. Injuries or not, after watching the Jets, it was like watching a bad, slow college team. Shame on them. I’m with Eagle, it saved an even worse bad taste losing to Warren “not in my house unless it’s the Steelers” Sapp.
Now to the real point. Hats off to the Browns who seemed to me the better team today, and to the Steelers for just providing a incredible playoff game for all fans of football. And also for giving the Colts and Packers a nice seminar on intensity and heart, something those lacky failures ought to enjoy sitting at home in their mansions.
And now after watching Shockey with the Giants and another great game, I’m happily watching NFL in the computer den. It’s all I got left! (well, The Daytona 500 and the next real sports season baby!)
