Who went and resurrected Matt Hasselbeck's career?

An injured, over-rated, fluke-winning Superbowl team. :p

I expected the Saints to get pounded in round two of the playoffs, so this is not as shocking as it seems.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

On the plus side, at least you all picked the wrong team so no one is losing yet :p

Wow, can't believe that. :o

The Saints have been kind of off all year, but I didn't see any way Seattle would win that.

Just goes to show, any given Sunday.

Or Saturday.

Bond, your fan status aside, you do know the Packers aren't going very far, right? No running game, and Rodgers is one hit away from taking the short bus home.

Fan status aside, I actually think this team has good potential to go far in the playoffs. We have a top five defense, an excellent quarterback and receiving core, and a potentially good-to-great running back in James Starks. We can beat any NFC playoff team, although it will be difficult to get past the Falcons in Atlanta.

That's if they get past the Eagles. I bet that they would, but the momentum may be changing. I'd love to have bet wrong.

I got -every- pick wrong. Wow.

At least I didn't have any of them winning again.

I read a report that David Akers is apparently going through some personal family matters that may have contributed to his two missed field goals last night. Kind of a sad way to end his career if that was his last game with the Eagles.

Yeah, read about that too. I was kind of shocked to hear him say "not how I wanted to end my career with Philadelphia" in his news conference. I don't think anyone on the Eagles or the fan base wants him gone. One bad game doesn't make a career, especially if he was battling a personal issue (although that shouldn't be an excuse.) He should have put six more points on the board yesterday, but he's still probably the most consistent kicker in Eagles history.

Oh, and I'm just glad my dad, a diehard Packers fan who went to the game yesterday, didn't rub it in too much. Although it was probably fun being in that stadium yesterday as the enemy. Looking forward to another season with Andy "I've got to do a better job" Reid!
