Ok, now that fans have had time to get over the shock, and are tired of screaming at the refs, the NFL eliminated four teams and four teams left to go.

Washington vs Seattle: Very impressive defense by both teams.  You know you’re doing a good job, when offensive players are going down to injury left and right.  Too bad for Washington, Brunell wasn’t a couple years younger, he could have scrambled for more first downs, rather than escaping the pocket and then throwing the ball out of bounds.

Carolina vs Chicago:  Thought was going to be a boring game, but it had its offensive explosion.  Steve Smith’s slide down the fire poll touchdown celebration was entertaining, kudos to Steve Smith.

Pittsburgh vs Indianapolis: With Edgerrin James a free agent this off-season, say goodbye to this offensive powerhouse.  It was nice knowing you, they blew their chance.  Watch for next year’s training camp to have a Peyton Manning, Mike Vanderjagt tussle, ala Darryl Strawberry vs Keith Hernandez.

New England vs Denver: South Park creators rejoice!  Your team might have what it takes to go all the way.  Believe it or not Cold Pizza’s Woody Paige got it right; he had been predicting Denver as the team to beat since the beginning of the season.  I think Woody Paige might have had some outside help for insight; he must be friends with Doc Brown, from Back to the Future and got a hold of the sports almanac.
