Thank you Pittsburgh, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Thank you for preventing me from going 0-4 this weekend. It was close, but they pulled one out for me and the Pittsburgh faithful.
The games today were well, unimpressive. Really not terribly enjoyable games early or late.
The Giants got spanked by a Philly team that frankly, did not outplay them. A couple of real bad turnovers doomed the G-Men as well as offensive ineptitude all afternoon. Philly did enough to get by and travels to Arizona next week for a tough one with a team on fire. For Giants fans, this is a tough pill to swallow, a one and done playoff performance with a team that dominated the NFC all year is certainly not what the Meadowlands faithful wanted. I can hear the shouts for the heads of Coughlin and Eli right now. But this game comes down to one thing, which, to abuse the metaphor grotesquely, may be the toughest pill to swallow, and that is that the Giants just flat out needed Plaxico Burress.
On to the afternoon billing. The game started out fairly close, but a flurry of turnovers and a 3rd quarter where the Chargers had 1 offensive play (an interception) and a botched punt, IN THE WHOLE QUARTER! Pittsburgh added a few scores and it was too much to overcome for San Diego. The only game I got right, Pittsburgh moves on to the AFC championship to face Baltimore in a game that will definitely be better than the Super Bowl (sorry NBC).
Stay tuned for previews.

Please remove Steely McBeam from your blog, he is the worst thing to happen to the Steelers since somebody paid off Neil O'Donnell in Super Bowl XXX.
