Pokorny s Round 2 playoff thoughts

Pokoy s Round 2 playoff thoughts That weekend of football. What started as two exciting games decently Saturday took the two best games of this year the touament on Sunday. We were surprised how all the Colts could not go soon, the way the Panthers dominated the Bears defense, how can you survive without the Seahawks Shaun Alexander, and as the Broncos finally gave Tom Brady his first postseason loss. Let's start with Saturday games.Washington Redskins vs Seattle SeahawksFrom the beginning of the game, it seems that the Seahawks were ready to take over. Matt Hasselbeck made some good shots in the opening drive and the Seahawks are ready to hit the ball six. Then Shaun Alexander has lost his second fumble of the season - and second in two weeks for football in Seattle. When Alexander left a few minutes later, I knew immediately that he did not retu from a commotion. Things got worse when Darrell Jackson almost had to leave the game, but fortunately was able to retu quickly and Redskins have not played a bad game of football. Underdogs were on the road against the best team in the NFC. After an embarrassing offensive performance against the Buccaneers, the Redskins recently retued to his potential. Although Marcos was Brunello accounts of many of them, the Redskins were able to get the ball to Santana Moss and Chris Cooley enough to stay in the game. Clinton Portis never had it, but Washington remains in the game and almost did late in the game 20-17. After that, who knows if an onside kick that has worked or not clearly Redskins need another receiver next year to go along with Moss. Brunello is not the best quarterback, but rebounded with an excellent season with his standard, after not appearing in recent memory. The Seahawks survived without Alexander, the MVP of the championship. This has hurt me to see Hasselbeck missed another game in the postseason in the last seconds of the game. It will be hard to beat Seattle, especially as you can stage high get.New England Patriots vs Denver BroncosWith all due respect for the Broncos, I think the Patriots have won this game. Both teams were combined in a very competitive and played football until Kevin Faulk fumbled in two minutes. Of course, mixed Faulk is the fault of the Patriots. The pass interference call on New England is what you really listen. I know that referees are human, but there was the slightest presence of interference in this game and the referee was there. No, this does not mean they had a better look, you simply made a terrible call. If this is not absurd penalty call, the Broncos probably would have started a field goal and a half past a 3-3.After half, the Patriots did not panic. They still played like them, Brady would have thrown an interception while playing in all probability, and New England have just won. However, it must give all the credit in the world for the implementation of the Broncos. At any time the Patriots gave them the opportunity to make a game, since the points on the board. The New England defense virtually ended the Broncos in the first half and the Patriots' offense had their way with them very well. When he arrived at the critical moment, however, accept the fact that the penalty was to take place before the half, the Patriots are flying. Ellis Hobbs fumbled, Troy Brown fumbled, and Brady has launched an increase that, basically, was how the distance.By, pointing to Ben Watson. I am pretty sure that caused the fumble out of end zone for a Touchback simply on the basis of logical reasoning. However, because the cameras did not show a clear picture of what occurs, I agree with the decision of the arbitrator. In the end, I am not yet convinced that the Broncos are better than those in New England. The victory is what counts, however, as we discovered during the first Sunday game.Pittsburgh Steelers vs Indianapolis ColtsI'm not trying to make excuses, but I believe this: if the Colts played a meaningful game for weeks before a deal 'Steelers, who have won this game. Of course, the Steelers led the Colts and better gameplan against Polamula Troy is one of, if not the most exciting in football defensive player. The pathetic display of offense that the Colts were the first three quarters all seemed just a team but never played together. Part of the Steelers were blitzing, but when it launches an envelope and the receiver is not, not for the fourth quarter that saw the true sync.In Colts offense. I know that the Steelers played a little 'conservative, but his crew and receivers are on the same page. If this is the case of travel, the Colts could have scored three touchdowns in the first half, if you wanted. One thing you can not excuse is the Colts' defense though. Ben Roethlisberger is simply incredible and the Steelers offense has a new level. Big Ben, the Steelers know what happened to his best, so we wanted to go ahead and attack the principles of its operation postponed until later. When the Colts are hot, what the Steelers? Ran the football, which was 11 times seemed straight? This is where the protesters were out coached by Colts Pittsburgh.It seems to be, when the crew was fired on two yard line on fourth down. I could not believe my eyes when Jerome Bettis carried the ball. I expected at the end of the zone, when suddenly Nick Harper gathered the ball and ran around the field. Why not keep running away I'm not sure, but Roethlisberger has sent his team to the AFC Championship with his address. The Colts were able to move the ball to someone who does not opt for Vanderjagt, who has lost a great time. Before you finish talking about this game, let me remind Polamula Troy "call-back interception. As I wanted the call to be overtued, he knew Dungy is a challenge just because despair. What? This has been reversed? This was the most shocking thing I've seen call overtued, but only to raise the most exciting playoff game so far in 2005-2006 playoffs.Carolina Panthers vs Chicago BearsWhen I made my choice for this game, I was dying to predict a shootout. I was somewhat 'influenced by the general consensus that it would be a defensive game, so I went to half and half, the crime covered by both teams. Although the game contains a lot of defense, this game is a pick more than anything else. Panthers passing game could not be stopped, and the game goes well.Is Orsi is not surprising that only me, or Jake Delhomme ranks with Tom Brady as the best postseason quarterback in today's age? He has not fought in a single postseason game and the opponent always torches defense. His only loss was in the playoffs to Super Bowl two years ago, and it was surprising that even the game. It helps that the chemical has some of the best in the league, with Steve Smith, however. It 'ridiculous like Smith, was opened after the Bears' defenders fell, but why not start by double-deck? The other Panthers receiver was not that bad, but what really worries much more than those who do not double Smith? The Panthers moved the ball with ease all day against the best defense in the playoffs to the left, even after losing Foster.Rex Grossman impressed me. After falling behind by two possessions, I felt Chicago had no possibility of retu. Grossman fired the ball downfield all day long to any receiver could find, showing its potential for next year. Even if you have not been able to bring a game-tying drive to end the game, is simply brilliant at times. The Panthers defense perform better than those bears, in general, but most credit you can go to the Panthers' offensive line. Delhomme eight times after it was sacked by Chicago earlier this year, the pressure has not been a problem for him.Final ThoughtsThis week, the Steelers will take on the Broncos and the Panthers challenge the Seahawks. I seriously believe that two wild card teams can do once the Super Bowl, but four of these groups are combined in a uniform manner. Both games should be competitive and exciting to watch.
