Wildcard Round
Philadelphia 10-6 at Minnesota 11-5 (Eagles -4)
This one is a battle back and forth as the Eagles ride Shonn Greene's 2 TD's (1 rushing, 1 passing) to a 17-13 early in the 4th. We respond with a 9 play 80 yard drive that ends in a 30 yard hook up between Cassel and Harvin. The Eagles drive down to inside our 30, then CB Xavier Rhodes picks off Barkley at the 18 and guess where he is going, yep, Home!!! The pick 6 seals the deal as Walsh adds a FG for good measure and we are moving on. Peterson was the work horse with 34 carries for 144 yards, Laurinaitis had 10 tackles and 2 assists.
Final: Minnesota 30 Philadelphia 17
Divisional Round
Minnesota 12-5 at Dallas 12-4 (Cowboys -7)
Starting SS Andrew Sendejo is questionable, but with this much on the lone will play coming back from his broken Tibia. This is a defensive slugfest as both teams fail to reach 300 yards on total offense. We stall twice and have to settle for field goals in the first half and in the 2nd half our longest drive is 28 yards and we do nothing but punt. Dallas only manages a single field goal in the first half, but then put the only real drive together in the 3rd quarter, an 80 yard march that is culminated in an 8 yard TD pass form Romo to Dez Bryant. AP does manage 103 yards on 26 carries, but Cassel continually dumps it short and passes for only 127 as our season comes to an end.
Final: Dallas 10 Minnesota 6
San Francisco scrubs Dallas the next week 55-3, but is upset in the Superbowl by the surprising Houston Texans 21-17.
