Dallas-Seattle: instant classic

[sigma7]

Wow. No, really, wow. Insane turns of events, incredible momentum shifts, more bizarre plays than you usually see in a team's entire regular season. And the end -- I was torn, wanting the kick to fail, but not wanting it to be Gramatica's fault (yay for a 50-yarder!).

(Don't bother looking for video; you will see it at some point. That play will be replayed until it's burned into every CRT left on the planet.)

Congrats to my Seattle-area friends, and serious kudos to the Cowboys (even T.O.) for reacting with class after a simply astonishing ending. (And yes, the Chefs lost to the Colts. Surprise.)

I saw the end of that game. WOW. I was never a Cowboys fan but I found myself rooting for them tonight. It was pretty much insane.

And go Colts!

'lost to the Colts' is an understatement...the Chiefs were falt out decimated by the Colts. I was pulling for the Chiefs, but I couldn't help but laugh at their first half ineptitude.

Was glad Dallas lost, if only to prevent them from becoming the second team where Drew Bledsoe gets replaced mid-season by an unheralded backup only to see the team win the Super Bowl (Bledsoe always struck me as a pretty reasonable guy and player; once is bad enough, twice in the role of Wally Pipp would be a bit much).

I was torn. I dislike Dallas (despite Parcells, Glenn and TO), but the Pats have the rights to Seattle's first-round pick and I don't want them getting to the Super Bowl.

Pats vs. Chargers next week. Go Pats!!!
