What a miserable weekend this was.
You know I hate to say it, but it seemed like the games were scripted.
NE vs Jax
Why would the #2 Rushing Team in the NFL totally abandon the run, especially against New England where clock control is crucial. You have to keep Tom Bradys ass glued to the bench for as long as humanly possible if you want to beat the patriots. Del Rio knew this, but instead he decided to make it a pass fest and have David Gerard try to trade airbone assaults with the Super Human Tom Brady. He had to KNOW this was a recipe for disaster. I am now very suspicious of the coaching staff and their game plans, seems too much like a thrown game to me. I could live with Jacksonville losing, and pretty much expected it, but I didnt want to see the team and fans thrown under a bus like this.
Dallas / Giants
Why did they NOT take advantage of short to mid range yardage passes that were readily available? Especially during several crucial series at the end of the game Instead Romo threw bombs into a heavily defended end zone? WTF? Too strange there.
I am not at all excited about the Stolen Bowl as there were far too many Shenanigans in the playoffs. Far too many clock mistakes where seconds ticked off when they shouldnt and stayed frozen when they should. Too many questionable calls by officials. And too many coaching anomalies.
Football is getting to be a media sales machine and the spirit of the game seems to be slipping away. :Cry:
