Sunday playoff games open thread
Yesterday, we saw the Pack and the Patriots both advance to their respective division championship games.
Today, San Diego is playing at Indianapolis, whre the Colts currently have a 7-0 lead as of this writing, and later, we’ll see the Giants play at Dallas, which I know is a big game for several readers of this blog 
Feel free to utilize this thread for game commentary and/or analysis, predictions, and your trash talkin’ about your favorite teams. ST reader NC Cop has already thrown down the gauntlet with this comment from another thread:
Playoff Sunday!!!!
Yesterday was half and half. I was glad to see the Pack win, I’m a Favre fan, but disappointed to see the Pats win! Somebody beat them please! I can’t stand to listen to all the networks,websites, newspapers, and magazines talk about them!
That being said, I think it’s safe to say that those guys are the best football team to ever play. I can’t stand them, but I can admit that they are absolutely the best.
Now, on to the Giants/Cowboys game. Many people are predicting an upset by the Giants…..which is why I’m worried. The Giants always play better when they feel like nobody believes they will win.
I heard a possibly related story that Jessica Simpson was kidnapped early this morning. She was last seen being stuffed into a NY Giants equipment bag and driven away by two men in Giants jerseys.
Coincidence? You be the judge.
I’ll be back later, in time to comment on the Giants/Dallas game, for sure.

Stats
I got the Carolina Pale Ale, who’s got the hot wings?
Giants by 3, 31-28
One upset today, can there be two?
And San Diego is the lucky winner of the AFC lottery. They get to head to New England all banged up. Sadly, I don’t think we’ll see an upset next weekend up there.
I don’t have much hope for the G-men, especially after the early upset, but I have but one thing left to say:
Go Giants!
Prost, NC Cop. Amani Toomer delivers the first score of the game.
g-men scored early – looks like the “good eli” showed up – maybe the pressure is off because big brother lost today.
All knotted up – good game, so far.
I definitely need more scoring however. I’d like the Giants to win, but I have the ‘Boys minus the long 7 1/2.
dont forget at 9pm the Sarah Connor Chronicles are on tonight – been waiting on this for a while
But no Ahnold…..
Thanks for the reminder sodaboy! I’d forgotten about it.
Blank that writers’ strike anyhow. I wanted to see if the folks at “24″ could recover after the craptastic Season 6.
Dang – look at Eli! All tied at the half …
coughlin looks like an angry woodland critter
Need to stop Barber.
I’m impressed with Barber. This is quite the game
some nice special team runs in this one
Woot! Giants up!
Man – this has turned into a real nailbiter!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Let there be snow!
The New York Football Giants 21
The Cowboys 17
All I have to say is, SWEEP!
Giants intercept a Tony Romo pass in the endzone to seal their victory over the Cowboys. Wow!
Damn….but not totally unexpected, as both MD and I have been saying the past few weeks.
i thought, after Indy, Dallas was the only team left that could beat the Pats.
Well…that was awful. The announcers on the Dallas Cowboy radio network are talking about all of the records that were broken this year, but that is a lot of hooey.
The Cowboys were the best team in the NFC after winning the Thanksgiving game. But since then they did little except stink.
I don’t think anyone expected Eli to be the Manning who advanced to the division championship game. I know I sure didn’t.
Maybe now the Giants will have earned a little respect!!!! All I kept hearing about was Patriots/Cowboys/Patriots/Cowboys/Patriots/Cowboys!!!!
Actually after beating the Bucs last week, I was just preparing for a decent game against the Boys. I wasn’t convinced they would pull it off.
The Giants actually looked good. Now we’ll see how they fare at the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field!!!!!!!
It doesn’t bother me at all to see T.O. so sad, but I do like Romo. I think the media is going to eat him alive for his trip to Mexico, but I don’t think that had a thing to do with it.
You mean conference championship game, right?
Had to do it.. hehe
Yep
This is a prediction I made last week about Thursday. I came pretty close, except for the Colts and Bolts.
My pics from last week
Well, the Giants over Dallas was my “upset special,” but who expected the Chargers to beat Indy?
I bet they’re celebrating almost as hard in Cleveland, thanks to Dungy’s decision to rest everybody in that game against TN that allowed that totally awful team into the playoffs at the expense of the Browns.
It was great to see the Chargers overcome the injuries and some of the worst officiating I have ever seen in a playoff game. Memo to Mr. Goodell–no more games for that crew, please!
I don’t see any upsets next week. I expect we’ll get the Superbowl everybody wants to see–Pack against Pats. Favre against Brady!
