Houston continued their weird win at home no matter who we play record. It’s so odd how well they play against some of the best teams in the league at home, and fall so short when they play away. But they continued their tradition and beat NE at home in Texas. Good for them.

I would have LOVED to watch the Indy/Buffalo game. For no other reason than to watch them play in that snow storm. But once again Indy sat their starters for their post-season. Once again they deprive fans of a good game that they’re entitled too. Course so did Arizona and some other teams, all of which should refund ticket prices to their fans.

And lastly were there some big time blow outs! I can’t believe the Eagles couldn’t even muster a field goal against the Cowboys. But once again, it came down to who wants it more. I don’t think Dallas is going to have as easy a time of it this weekend in the playoff game. Nor do I think the Jets will walk all over the Bengals. This weekend is more than just playoff and continuing the season, these 2 teams will also be playing for pride and to some extent anger.

But we ended the last week of the regular season like this. My picks weren’t too bad. At least I was better than 50%.

There were a few heartbreaker losses this past week. Namely Indianapolis and Minnesota. The Vikings fought hard to win their Monday night game, and it looked like they might have it wrapped up in OT. But it wasn’t to be. The decision to sit the starters in Indianapolis will be talked about for years and just may bring about some rule changes in the league as well. I can understanding sitting the starters before the playoffs, but I think the Coach is dead wrong that 16-0 is not a historic goal. Stupid, just plain stupid. Then you can talk about the fans, the money they spent on tickets to see a game and see their team win and continue their undefeated streak. Big picture is one thing, but so is having a mental focus and belief that “we’re the greatest team of all time and will not lose”. I think sitting those starters and losing the undefeated record will have a bigger mental affect on the team in their last game than those coaches are giving credit to.
