NFL Playoff Race! Who's Coming to Big D? part 1

The local news of the day is that the Cowboys have hired Jason Garrett as their new head coach. So he's no longer just the interim. No surprise there!

This weekend is the start of the NFL playoffs! Who's coming to Dallas in February? The playoff teams of the AFC are: Colts, Jets, Ravens, Chiefs, Patriots, and the Steelers. For the NFC the teams are: Bears, Eagles, Packers, Falcons, Saints, and the Seahawks.

Well I certainly don't want to see the Steelers. Yes, I'm still holding a grudge for when they beat my Cardinals in the Super Bowl. They don't need to win another one this soon. And I live in Dallas now so that means I had to adopt an 'I don't like anything about Philly' mindset. So no Eagles in big D come February 6th and all other days of the year too! Yep, no love for the state of Pennsylvania in this post!

I don't care for the Patriots either. They've won enough bowls in recent history. However, I would rather see them here than the Steelers. I'm not completely fond of the Jets. Their coach is Buddy Ryan's son, all Zonies(former and current) remember the ridiculous "Buddy Ball" term. And the Jets quarterback went to USC. Yuk!!!!!

Of the teams I'm okay with I haven't yet decided whom I will root for the most. I suppose it will change with each game and each round. Oh wait the COLTS. I must root for the Colts in any and all games/rounds of the playoffs(wink, wink). I better say that or else I will be getting a flustered phone call from my mom. LOL!!!! I will add that I had a feeling the Packers would make it to the Super Bowl when the season first started so lets see if that is possible.

In virtually all playoff scenarios that I run through my head I don't see both the Steelers and the Patriots losing. I have a feeling one of those teams will be here in February. As I watch I still will be hoping for "certain" teams to face an early exit. If all 4 of my most disliked teams go out I will be doing my version of a touchdown dance!

p.s. since the Super Bowl is here in Dallas and since I love football get ready for quite a bit of football talk in these blogs for the next month.
