Wildcard Week is finally here !!

Even though the Packers and the vikes will be at home this week (for vastly different reasons!) It's time for the journey to the Arizona desert and this year's Super Bowl to begin !! Enjoy !

LAST SUNDAY THE VIKES TOOK THE FIELD IN DENVER
CARRYING THE FAINTEST GLIMMER OF PLAYOFF HOPE
BUT AS THE BRONCOS GAME UNFOLDED
THEY CAME TO THE END OF THEIR ROPES

THE GAME WENT LIKE THE REST OF THEIR SEASON
A LATE CHARGE FOLLOWING A MISERABLE START
LEADING TO A FATAL MISTAKE BY THE QUARTERBACK
DRIVING A STAKE THROUGH EACH VIKING FAN'S HEART

FOR THE FUTURE, THIS TEAM IS WELL-GROUNDED
WITH TAYLOR AND PETERSON HANDLING THE BALL
AND THE RUSHING DEFENSE IS ALSO TOP-NOTCH
IT'S THE AERIAL GAME THAT CAUSED THEIR DOWNFALL

NOT ONLY IS THE PASSING GAME SUSPECT
THE PASS DEFENSE IS FAR LESS THAN DESIRED
BRAD CHILDRESS HAS TO FIND SOME ANSWERS
OR HE'LL FIND HIS NAME LISTED AMONG THE FIRED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE PACKERS DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PLAY FOR
AS THEY WELCOMED THE LIONS TO LAMBEAU FIELD
OTHER THAN TO REGAIN THEIR SENSE OF PRIDE
WHICH FOR THIS GROUP IS A VERY BIG DEAL

WHILE DETROIT'S TEAM HAS BEEN IN A FREE-FALL
THOUGH EARLY THIS YEAR THEY LOOKED QUITE GOOD
AS EXPECTED THE PACK BEAT THEM EASILY
LOOKING LIKE A DIVISION CHAMP SHOULD

COACH McCARTHY FIGURED OUT THE MAGIC WORDS
THAT COULD CHANNEL THIS OFFENSE'S POTENTIAL
WHILE THE DEFENSE LIVED UP TO EXPECTATIONS
KEEPING THEM AHEAD IN THE POINT DIFFERENTIAL

THIS TEAM IS A MIX OF PLAYERS YOUNG AND OLD
EACH BRINGING SKILLS AND POWER TO THE TABLE
AND AS THE PACKERS LOOK TOWARD THE POSTSEASON
THEIR FUTURE APPEARS AT THE LEAST TO BE STABLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE FOOTBALL SEASON'S FINAL CHAPTER
NOW WAITS FOR THE CHOSEN TO OPEN THE DOOR
AS THEY PLAY WITH EVERYTHING THEY HAVE
WITH THE WINNERS JUST WANTING IT MORE

BOTH LOCAL TEAMS WILL BE STAYING HOME
THOUGH THERE ARE DIFFERING REASONS WHY
THE VIKINGS SEASON IS JUST OVER
WHILE THE PACKERS HAVE A FIRST-ROUND BYE

THE 'HAWKS SHOULD FALL TO THE RED-HOT-SKINS
WHILE THE GIANTS COULD FALL TO THE BUCS
THE TITANS WILL FALL TO "LT"'S 'BOLTS
AS THE JAGS BENEFIT FROM THE STEELERS BAD LUCK

THE WINNERS WILL BE TAKING THE FIRST STEP
BEFORE ALL THEIR FANS' PEERING EYES
WORKING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE PLAYOFF FIELD
ON A JOURNEY TO FOOTBALL'S BIGGEST PRIZE
