One Fan's Review: Wildcard Weekend.

by Kevin Shenoy

Seattle vs. St. Louis
How exciting to watch two teams that the Buffalo Bills crushed play for a trophy that neither deserved a shot at. It was even more fun to watch with the commentators from hell known as the Sunday Night Crew. Is this not a classic example of large corporations just not getting it? How can the ABC and ESPN big wigs be so out of tune with Patrick, Theisman and McGuire and their annoying-ness? I don't get it. Congrats to the Rams for drafting ahead of us and getting closer to the Super Bowl than the Buffalo Bills. Fockers!

Jets Vs Chargers.
This had all the makings of being a classic Jets Collapse. A friend of mine here in New York told me that Jets stands for "Just end the Season". I love it because I agree with it. You may have all heard this before, but it was worth repeating.

Herm Edwards screaming at the Running backs coach, the bone head roughing the passer, losing the coin toss. It was all lining up to be so hilarious. I was savoring at the thought of coming into work to see all the down faces. When Antonio Gates caught the touchdown I realized that I haven't rooted for a team and see them win a big game in at least 4 years over the swath of 4 major sports. The Chargers were going to redeem me. Then we saw why they are called the Buffalo Bills of the West. Wide right! There is only one team that doesn't annoy the urine right out of my body in the AFC. Let's go Colts.

Colts vs Broncos.
Yeah, the Denver Broncos really deserved to be a playoff team. I've seen cholic-y babies respond more positively than the Bronco's Defense. I know the NFL must have been cursing by the middle of the second quarter. "Where are the Bills? They might not be able to win, but the country would not be turning their tv's off by the boatload like this." It looked very much like 1990 Bills Ball.

Minn vs Pack
I wonder as a Bills Fan, if Brett Favre had that kinda season with us, if I would be anti Farve. I guess the difference is that he has had success and he always makes you feel like he can win. Plus he's been in the same town for a long time, so people have a reason to stand behind him even after a 4 INT game. Bledsoe probably gets it worse because we didn't get to see him during his glory years. That is to say if you believe he had glory years.

Anyhoo, it was painful to see another team who will be drafting ahead of us getting further with a coach who is about as stupid as Ashlee Simpson. Any guy who thinks a ratio of passes getting to one receiver is the defining point of an offense shouldn't get access to Playstation football, let alone a real team. The game should be completely off limits to him. However, he gets brought back for another year. Go figure.
