It's Divisional Playoff Week !!

[gator]

The first week’s games are history...Now it’s time for the ‘Big Dogs’ to come and play !!
GO Pack !!............(and Go Jags....)

LIKE FALLEN LEAVES BEFORE A WINTER'S WIND
THE VIKINGS' PLAYERS HAVE ALL SCATTERED
KNOWING THAT DESPITE LOOKING GOOD FOR A WHILE
THEY COULDN'T COME THROUGH WHEN IT MATTERED

WHILE THERE IS MUCH FOR THEM TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT
AS MANY FACTORS WILL BE DEMANDING OF ATTENTION
UNLESS THE VIKINGS MAKE SOME DRAMATIC MOVES
THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN PLAYER DISSENSION

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT NEED REPAIR
CHILDRESS WILL BE PRESSED TO PICK AND CHOOSE
AND MOST OBSERVERS WILL FEEL RELIEVED
THAT THEY ARE NOT STANDING IN HIS SHOES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE WILDCARD GAMES HAVE NOW BEEN PLAYED
WITH THE WINNERS NOW ENTITLED TO ADVANCE
AS THE TEAMS REWARDED WITH THE BYE WEEK
ARE SET TO JOIN IN THE POSTSEASON DANCE

THE PACKERS WILL TAKE THE FIRST TURN THIS WEEK
FACING THE SEAHAWKS SATURDAY AFTERNOON
THEIR PLAYERS ARE ALL FEELING HEALED AND RESTED
AND LIKE THIS GAME JUST CAN'T START TOO SOON

THE SEAHAWKS EARNED THEIR TICKET TO LAMBEAU
BY HOLDING ON AND GETTING PAST THE 'SKINS
A TEAM THAT PLAYED THEM CLOSE AND TOUGH
THINKING EMOTION MIGHT CARRY THEM AGAIN

DESPITE SOME MISTAKES BY MATT HASSELBECK
AND EVEN WITHOUT A FUNCTIONAL RUNNING GAME
BY PLAYING GREAT DEFENSE SEATTLE EXTINGUISHED
THE WASHINGTON "MEMORIAL SEASON" DREAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONSISTENT THROUGH ALL THE GAMES THIS WEEK
AND REALLY FROM THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY ON
IS THAT ALL THESE TEAMS ARE REALLY GOOD
AND IF ONE MISTAKE GETS MADE-YOU'RE GONE

DESPITE THE FACT THAT MIKE AND MATT
HAVE IMPRESSIVE HISTORY IN GREEN BAY
THE PACKERS WON'T BE DISTRACTED BY EMOTION
AND WILL EFFICIENTLY PUT THE HAWKS AWAY

THE JAGUARS GOT PAST THE STEELERS LAST WEEK
AND WON A CHANCE TO BE THE PATRIOTS' NEXT VICTIM
THEY'LL PLAY NEW ENGLAND CLOSER THAN EXPECTED
BUT THERE'S NO WAY THAT ANYONE WOULD PICK 'EM

WHEN INDIANAPOLIS AND SAN DIEGO LAST PLAYED
THE CHARGERS BARELY GOT PAST THE COLTS
THIS TIME WITH THE GAME IN THE RCA DOME
THEY'LL BE UNDONE BY MANNING'S LIGHTNING BOLTS

THE NEW YORK GIANTS HEAD DOWN TO TEXAS
TO FACE TONY ROMO AND HIS COWPOKES TEAM
WITH THE COWBOYS BEING AS BEAT UP AS THEY ARE
THIS GAME WILL BE FAR CLOSER THAN IT SEEMS
