*Just landed in Germany, so didn’t see the game. I thought that score was for basketball when I first saw it.
You really missed out.
It happens. On the other hand I’m sitting inside a coffeshop looking out at the snow falling on the Frankfurt Boerse right now, while lovely young German Frauleins come and go, which is kind of cool. Oh, there are a lot of pigeons out there, too.
All right, after Wild Card Weekend, here’s where we stand:

Well. I think I’m looking pretty solid after this weekend.
I don’t know, Airman. If the Cardinals gave up 45 points to Green Bay are they going to be able to defend against the Saints next week?
Mee too; neither of my teams was knocked out.
If Kurt Warner has more touchdowns than incompletions again I’m pretty sure they have a chance. That dude is an absolute beast in the playoffs.
Aw, shucks! I guess I didn’t get my pick in on time.
Huh…I have no earthly idea how I missed that. Sorry about that! With picks of the Cowboys and Chargers, you’re still in the good – I’ve added you to my spreadsheet and you’ll appear in next week’s update (no offense, but hopefully in the “double-eliminated” part – your two teams are my two most hated remaining teams).
Why in the world would anyone hate the Chargers? We’ve never done anything to anyone (especially go all the way). 
:dubious: 
It’s the self-loathing thing, especially what followed after the Manning/Rivers trade. It’s been five years – you got Rivers and Merriman out of the deal, and you’ve beaten the Giants twice since then. Move on, already.
Plus, there’s the whole “want to smash Rivers’ face with a brick” thing. Nothing to do with football – it’s just his face…I’m sure you understand.

After the Saturday game, the J-E-T-S are the only remaining “long shot”. Somewhere between 11 and 29 more picks are gone out after the Sunday games.
Skol Vikings! Awesome fucking game, it was so loud, my ears are still ringing. Dallas fans slinked off after the 3rd.
Saints, we’re coming.

Yeah the Jets made it a good game in the second half. I was not expecting them to come back. I went to surf the web at half time and by the time I came back they had scored twice.
If history is any indicator my next pick will be knocked out as well.
My heart was going “Cowboys!? Don’t pick the Cowboys! You hate the Cowboys! Fuck the Cowboys!” But my head said “I dunno Larry, what about all those writers saying the Saints and the Vikes had peaked.”
In the future: Heart good, head bad.
WoOt, still alive… Thank god I went with my brains over my heart for Colts vs. Ravens.
Now if I DO get to see a Colts/Vikes Superbowl, I’ll be quite happy vs. a Colts/Saints one.
Though I’d respect any of those 3 teams winning- but of course I’ll be rooting for my own Colts rather than for Farve or for New Orleans personally.
If someone picks both teams correctly, how do you break the tie?
Oh, well. You win some, you lose some.
