Biggest game of the season, it'll be on primetime and I'll be glued to it either at home or in front of a bigscreen TV at a bar. What are everyone's (i.e. ohara's ) plans for it?

I think we'll probably win, but too tough to call. No way I'm doing the Bucs thing for this one.

OK! We are at the Half and up 21 - 13. Just one solid half of football and we have home field thru the Playoffs. Dont get overconfident b/c this NY team is very good. Keep it up!

After 3 qtrs, we are up 21 - 20. We have the ball 1st and 10 at midfield. Come on guys!

28 - 20 with about 13 minutes to go. DeAngelo Williams just got his 4th TD of the game. This kid is great! Now if he has tired out the Defense, let Jonathon Stewart finish them off!

Oh my nerves! Up 28 - 20 with under 8 minutes. But NY has the ball at our 45 b/c their last punt went out at our 1. We only got to the 3. This is very nerve wracking!

Crap! WE let em in the endzone and they got the 2 pt conversion. Tied at 28 with 3:21 to go. The good thing is we have the wind at our back in the 4th and they dont. We can drive, take some time off the clock and let Kasey win it w/ a FG. But we have to move the ball and take time off the clock. WE have lost the time of possession battle in a big way. Our Defense is tired. If we are tied and NY has time to drive, this game will be lost. It is up to our offense to win this now!

Kasey will try a 50 yard FG with about 10 seconds to play. Will he make it? He's clutch, but this is the game to decide the #1 seed in NFC, and it's windy.

Wide left. I'm gonna throw up. I dont have a good feeling about this at all.

OT. NY won the toss. They will recieve. They start at the 20. I'm starting to throw up now.

Forced a 3 and out. We take over at our 38. Come on guys! Do something!

They forced a 3 and out, muffed the punt and start at their 13. Ward with a 50 yrd run. They are at our 33. Crap. 3rd and 7. Insided the 20 with a 1st down. Ward has almost 200 yards. Our defense basically lost this game. When our offense puts up 28 on NY at NY, they played well enough to win. Very disappointing loss in a few seconds barring a turn over.

34 - 28 losers tonight. Damn Kasey, you dont miss 50 yarders with the game on the line. Our Defense just failed us tonight.

Befoe the 50 yard attenpt, we were moving the ball. Williams had a big run to get us inside the 30 but Steve Smith got popped for a hoklding call. It was a good call, no argument. That set us back to 1st and 13 and we could get no closer than the 33. But I dont blame Smith for the loss.

It's not Kasay's fault. 50-yarders in crap conditions are no way to win a ball game. Blame the offensive play-calling for not advancing the chains at least one more time. Where was a pass at the end of that drive?

The big thing is the defence. Can't allow 34 points like that.

Now to see whether we can finally win a road game in the division. If not, we might be a wildcard. Just great.

****

I think the wind played a factor in Kasey's missed kick. It appeared to be on the way in until it veer off to the left.

Now we have our work cut out for us. We have to go to New Orleans and win, or hope that Atlanta loses to the Rams whom they host. They will kill the Rams, so we have no option but to win in NO. If we dont, we lose the tie break with Atlanta and we are the Wildcard. That would stink. Being minutes from #1 seed and end up the Wildcard? We have to win!

Yeah, I'm not thrilled either. I'm actually shocked that it's the Falcons challenging us considering that Bucs game we won was supposedly for the division.
