Playoffs matches came to an end this week-end with the last four games.
I’ve been unable to see live all the four matches, but I’ve seen all the recap of the saturday’s ones. What to say…
- Washington - Seattle (10-20): defence is something very important in football, but you can’t win without a serious attack team. And let me tell you, for what I saw (even against Tampa Bay) the Redskins right don’t have one right now. Let’s hope Seattle didn’t lost Alexander for more than a week… I think we’re going to see a great NFC Championship against the Panthers.
- New England - Denver (13-27): the second game I haven’t seen live on TV. From what my friends said to me, New Englad played a great match, even losing it mostly because of two major referee’s errors. Indeed, I can’t say I’m unhappy about the Patriots going home, and I think everyone able to beat them (even when they’re in one bad day) is worth a lot of respect: fear theBroncos!
- Pittsburgh - Indianapolis (21-18): OH MY GOD! This was the craziest match I’ve ever seen in NFL! Incredible. I think the Steelers went really “so” close to trash this match by themselves after ending the first half on 14-3, but please tell me I’m not the only one thinking that that Polamalu dive was a clean intercept. I still can’t understand why on earth the referee called an incomplete… crazy crazy crazy, the last 2 minutes were incredible. GO STEELERS GO!!!
- Carolina - Chicago (29-21): playing a post-season game like that one, with a QB that played only 1 game as a starter in the season, is not a safe good starting point. I think Grossman did his best, but was rarely into the game. The Panthers controlled the game from the beginning to the end, and I really think that Smith is going to be a realy pain also for the Seahawks‘ defence next week. A shame for the Bears, but I’m really happy for Carolina!
Was a positive week-end after all, 4 on 4 teams of my favourites went ahead to the Championships, and I’m very pleased with that. But to all the Steelers fan out there, let’s hope there will be less to suffer next sunday than there was this one! :)
I can’t like football. Really, I tried, and hard, but it’s not in my powers. On the other side, I’m getting interested in Rugby: maybe because a good national team plays in the neighborhood (Viadana), maybe because is so much more competitive and honest than soccer (and maybe ’cause I’m a supporter of Inter F.C…. :( ), but that’s it.
What I’m really waiting for it’s the next Formula 1 championship: let’s see if “my Red passion” will beat that fucked french and germans this year! ;)
Rugby and Football are such different from eachother, in their similarities, that I’m perfectly able to love both of them in the same way. Some people believe they’re two different way of playing the same sport, but as a matter of fact, nothing is less true that this.
Anyway, there’s no sport in the world which I really don’t like at least a little, and even if I am a supporter of the “other side of Milan” I think that the important thing is to like sport in an healthy way, without the exagerations and stupid thing that can come out of being a “fan”.
In the end… let’s hope for a more red year than the last one… in many senses, not only speaking about sport :p
bye
Unrelated : but you’re tagged.
ahahah… I’m sorry Jo, but you picked the wrong one. I’ve a bad feeling about this kind of thing, and I really get annoyed very fast while doing it, so I normally avoid them.
Indeed, I thank you :p
