The NFC Championship game saw both teams have plenty of opportunities to seize […]
We’ll have plenty more on this game and I’m sure everyone is going to throw Brett Favre under the bus because it’s the easiest thing to do. However, the officiating in overtime will not be appearing at any refereeing clinics anytime soon. All of the turnovers will haunt […]

Reggie Bush made a long distance call during the ’06 NFC Championship game against the Bears. Unfortunately, his shenanigans marked the final points of the day as Sean Payton’s crew fell to the Bears 39-14. The important lesson of the day is simple. When you celebrate, make sure […]
This will be the third time the Saints and Vikings have met in the playoffs. Each time the Vikings won but their postseasons ended in bad fashion. After defeating the Saints during the ’87 postseason, they upset the top seeded 49ers before losing to the Redskins in NFC […]

In perhaps what might be the biggest AFC Championship game mismatch at quarterback ever, Mark Sanchez and the Jets will attempt to slay the dragon that is Peyton Manning and his […]
While he did win Super Bowl XLI MVP, Manning posted one of the worst postseason runs for a Super Bowl winning quarterback of all-time. He threw three touchdown passes but posted seven interceptions and did not have a single game passer rating higher than 81.6. Despite slaying the Patriots on the way to winning the Super Bowl, something just seems missing from Manning’s resume.
He is missing THAT game. That hammer performance in a championship game. Montana had three monster Super Bowls; Unitas had the ’58 NFL title game; Brady had Super Bowl XXXVI & XXXVIII; Elway had back to back Super Bowls, both endearing in different ways. What is Peyton Manning’s defining postseason moment? The 2006 AFC title game? He was ok in Super Bowl XLI but far from lights out. He still needs THAT game.

The victory sends the Jets to the […]
