The first weekend of playoffs in the NFL was fun to watch, mostly I think because the Colts won. The bowl games were also somewhat interesting, even though Notre Dame seemed to hang up the cleats at halftime.
It seemed that KC had almost the right strategy for beating the Colts, at least on defense. In the first half, they kept the Colts out of the end zone. And you have to tip a hat to them for picking off Peyton 3 times.
Their problem was that they didn't count on Indy's defense actually showing up. In hindsight it may be easy to say they should have mixed the run and the pass to keep the Colts defense off-balance, but anybody who watched Indy this season would have to believe that the best rushing offense in the league should have run up and down the field all day long.
Bob Sanders helped - he made plays and brought lots of energy - but he didn't do it by himself. Kudos to the Colts defense. Let's hope they can do it again Saturday in Baltimore.
Interestingly, the two NFC games were very similar to each other. Except that Romo muffed the snap for what would have been the Cowboys' game-winner, and the Eagles had no such trouble.
It's gotta be tough to be Tony Romo right now. But then again, maybe not - he's sure to get a big contract boost and he's young. He'll do just fine, I think.
Ohio State and Florida tonight. Personally I don't care too much which team wins, but would enjoy a close game. Like Boise State against Oklahoma - too bad I didn't see that one as it happened.
People find entertainment in a variety of ways. Football is mine. And college basketball. And I don't bet.
