Chicago crushes Detroit at Ford Field and then head back on the team bus with their eyes firmly glued to the GB/MIN game.....
New York Giants lose pretty convincingly at home to the Eagles. This saves Andy Reid's job and puts Tom Coughlin's into question heading into 2013...
Minnesota beats Green Bay in the Metrodome finishing 7-1 at home, Adrian Peterson gets dinged a bit AND Aaron Rodgers get hurt, raising questions heading into the post-season....
We defeat Arizona comfortably in the end but Kap struggles for the first quarter and a half to move the ball, causing the Fox cameras to show multiple shots of Alex "warming up" on the sideline.....Dashon Goldson kills a Cardinal receiver again and gets flagged, fined and suspension questions swirl heading into the playoffs.
Dallas beats Washington in a nail biter and wins the NFC East despite another valiant effort from RG3 and Alfred Morris.
Seattle slaps up St. Louis at CenturyLink and get the #5 Seed. They score 40+ again and the entire galaxy hops on their jock...
Wild Card Weekend: Minnesota @ Green Bay - Packers don't lose this 3rd meeting at home in the Frozen Tundra. Aaron Rodgers doesn't play great but the Packers run game shows up and actually outplays the Vikings Adrian Peterson (who was a bit dinged up heading into the game anyway).....
Vikings have some good parts to work with but I'm not sold on their Head Coach or their QB....
Seattle @ Dallas - Although Seattle has been on a roll, the galaxy will soon realize that this Seahawks run is a total sham when they enter Cowboys Stadium and get lit up by Tony Romo who no doubt will be trying to ball out against his first ever playoff opponent.
Divisional Round: Green Bay @ San Francisco - We destroy the Pack by 20 like we should have in Week 1. Run and Pass all over that garbage D. Kaepernick explodes for 4 TDs. 1 on the ground, 3 through the air. Randy Moss and Crabtree ball out. Justin Smith at 60% plays well enough to help Aldon Smith break the sack record unofficially... Dashon Goldson knocks the snot out of James Jones legally yet gets flagged. He does a money gesture for Goddell then does his Hawk pose.
Dallas @ Atlanta - Tony Romo and the Cowgirls find a way to beat the cocky Falcons who will be snoozing at home. Now "America's Team" starts getting the bandwagon treatment the Seahawks did...but it won't mean anything the following week.
NFC Championship: Dallas @ San Francisco - A rematch of the classic 90s showdowns...Our D plays out of sync at first and allows Dallas to jump out to a quick 10-0 lead. We regroup, refit and reorganize bringing the score to 17-10 for us at halftime... Second half we get the ball and come out driving well but then stall near the Red Zone as usual... 20-10. Things are looking pretty good but the next drive, our D comes out sluggish, Murray scores from 15 yards out. Greg Roman Goes Gimmick and we go 3 & out. Romo then drives the ball easily down the field hitting Jason Witten for several big gains. With the ball at our 6, we manage to stop the fade attempt to Bryant, and the crossing pattern to Witten in the back of the endzone but on 3rd down, Dallas calls a gutsy bootleg. Romo runs it in for the TD....24-20 Cowpukes with about 10:00 in the 4th quarter. Kap and Crab connect for multiple 1st downs but a few penalties push us out of FG range and we stall.
On Dallas' ensuing possession, with about 4:00+ left, they opt to run the ball but Pat & Bo stuff em on consecutive downs. On 3rd & Long, Romo goes back to pass, sees nobody open so he tries to scramble for the yards right up the middle...Aldon chases Romo from behind and strips the ball like he did last year @ Arizona. We recover on Dallas' 35, 3 plays later Kap hits Crabtree for the game winner. Another late turnover by Tarell Brown and a big play by LaMike allow us to notch another FG to make the final 30-24.
SUPER BOWL: We save our best performance for the Final Dance. Gore runs for almost 200 and we let it roll, let it roll for a 41-18 drubbing of Peyton Manning. Alex Smith even plays the final 3 minutes. Everyone gets to kiss the ring. Lombardi #6 comes back to the Bay. Randy Moss and Crabtree embrace for the last time, as Moss hangs it up after getting his Ring. Aldon Smith and Anthony Davis rocking SB Champ hats on the sideline turn to the camera and start promising "We'll be back next year, baby..watch!!".... Carlos Rogers sneaks in the picture to add "And the year AFTER!" .....Harbaugh becomes the first coach to dump Gatorade on his players instead of the other way around. Everybody hugs. Eddie D and Jed share a touching moment. My wife cries tears of joy. My sons run around screaming "Ninerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs" and I just sit quietly in my chair with my beer and blunt nodding because I KNEW this sh*t was gon happen!!!!
