It’s hard not to feel great for the Saints after toppling the Colts, heck, I lost a dollar or two on the game, but still don’t feel too bad about it because the city of New Orleans truly deserved this one. After everything they’ve been through, they now have their title and Mardi Gras can [...]
Adjustments, adjustments, adjustments. That could be the biggest key to the Super Bowl this year. The Indianapolis Colts are the best team in the league at adapting their game plans on the fly while the New Orleans Saints are excellent at throwing different adjustments and line shifts and motions at you. If anything, this Super [...]
The Super Bowl has a tough act to follow and no, I’m not talking about next week’s Pro Bowl. The Saints’ stunning overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings could go down as one of the most memorable conference championships ever. It had everything you could want from a classic game: Great performances on the offences [...]
Some would say that this is the weekend where you should be making a pilgrimage to see your favourite football team play in the post-season. That’s right, the conference championship game, not the Super Bowl. Why should it be this weekend and not two weeks from now, in a nice and sunny locale that rotates [...]
Perhaps I should have taken my own advice about the favourites winning in Week 2 of the NFL Playoffs. Considering that since the NFL adopted this bye week system for the top-2 seeds, the teams with that coveted week off have won about three out of every four games. What happened this weekend? Three out [...]
Why do they even bother calling this week’s slate of games “the divisional round?” It’s not like any of these teams represent the same divisions or anything like that. It probably comes from the same reason that the next round is called the conference championships, but at least that title still makes sense. Can’t we [...]
**Apologies for the late post. As my internet provider said: “There were major system difficulties.” **
Anybody could have easily predicted that the Cardinals-Packers showdown was going to be an absolute barn-burner, but a 51-45 game is about as over-the-top as it can get. Neither team could even come close to stopping the other as Kurt [...]
With the NFL playoffs set to start tomorrow, featuring the best teams in the league, without a doubt, why is there already movement in the hiring of coaches? Shouldn’t a good coach like Mike Shanahan wait until the playoffs shake out before he decides to hitch his horse to the broken wagon known as the [...]
It only took until the final game of the regular season, but we now know who is going where when the NFL post-season kicks off next Saturday. So what do we have to look forward to next week, now that everything is settled? A bunch of repeats. It may be no fault of NFL schedule [...]
An amazing thing has happened: Going into the last week of the NFL season, RTP’s picks have already surpassed its’ win total for all of the 2009 season.
This season: 129-96-3
Last season: 126-101-8
Of course this now means that I will completely blow this week and the playoffs because of this bragging, but at it had to [...]
