Guh! My money team that rampaged thru the regular season and was then decimated by injuries is being destroyed in the championship. I’d have liked to have thrown numerous tantrums yesterday while watching the carnage unfold but I was in The Land of the Lost Internet. ‘Tis truly a god-awful place. Many thanks to yeah right for filling in at the (very) last moment.

Fallout:

-Who gets a well-deserved rest next week? This year’s likely MVP, that’s who. Lamar! There’s all sorts of differing criteria floating around out there as to who should win but when you use the ‘my opinion counts the most’ metric, Lamar! comes out ahead.

-Thar be all kinds of silly scenarios as to who is in/out and where they stand. I’ll just say that no matter what happens the Bills are the #5 seed.

-Marshawn Lynch is saying ‘Howdy!” to the decimated Seahawks today. I was surprised to learn he is only 33. With a little bit of time with Seattle’s trainers, I’ll bet he can get into ‘grabbing his crotch while jumping backwards into the end zone’ shape by early next week.

-The Cowboys Mrs. Garrett continues to have difficulty marrying the talents of Natalie, Jo, Tootie and Blair. Rumor has it that she’ll be looking for another job next year.

TO THE GAME!

Packers/Vikes:

Mine own opinion is that Green Bay is the most vulnerable playoff team in the NFC. Their D doesn’t scare anyone and their O has not a one playmaker. In ‘Piling On News’, A-Rodge has a 5.9 yards per pass attempt stat and a 59% completion rate these last four weeks. He does tend to go thru these troughs lately and it’s anyone’s guess as to when/if he comes out of it this year. Minny has to do the ‘win out’ thingy because even if they win the Pack has the tie-break.

Do as you will.
