One play. This game definitely came down to one play this year. I thought it was the Kearse play, but instead, it was a bad coaching decision that made the Super Bowl. But, I guess you should never try to outfox a fox, espcially one from Foxboro.
John LeDoux is very grateful for that INT as that gave him the win this year, finishing in first place for the second time in a row. Thanks to picking the SB winner and MVP, he finished with 479 points. Cursing the Pats a bit is the second place winner, Robby Lee, finishing with 472 points. Had Seattle won, he would be taking home first place. Also benefiting from the New England Win is Josh Edwards, who finished with 470 points. Congrats to you all.

IND/NEP Results
This game was over before it started as far as I was concerned. There was no way that Indy was going to march into Foxboro and do much of anything. Luck is a great player, but the talent on that team drops pretty quickly. The Pats would have had to play a game like the Seahawks did earlier to give the Colts a chance. Around the third quarter, I was already bored and did not pay too much to the game at all. As far as I am concerned, the two rightful teams are in the Super Bowl and I am waiting for a great game!
At the end of the finals, Josh Edwards takes first place with 391 points. With seven players remaining, he will be rooting for the Pats in a few weeks. Robby Lee is next with 383 points. Even though he has seven pats players alone out of nine total, his SB and MVP predictions are dried up, so he'll need Pats players to score, but Seattle to win. Bob Dzuck moves up to third place with 380 points. He has the same players as Robby, but one less than him, so he cannot bypass him at this point. James Carter and Jason Kearney still have a chance at the money if key Seattle players score. john LeDoux will need Jonas Gray to show up to help him get into the money. Otherwise, I cannot anticipate anyone else getting into the top three.

GBP/SEA Results
Talk about an improbable comeback. After turning over the ball five times and being -3 for the day, the Seahawks did the unthinkable and beat the Packers when all looked lost. However, they should why they are the defending champs and played like it for at least one quarter.
After game one of the Championship games, Jason Kearney takes over first place with 344 points. With numerous Indy and Pats players in the mix, he is in good shape, but should root for the Colts. I slip down to second with 328 and should continue to do so. Josh Edwards takes third place with 324 points; he also has a number of Indy and Pats players remaining as well.
For the trick play where the Seahawks scored on the fake punt, the ball was snapped to Jon Ryan, who then made the pass. Since they ball was snapped to him, he is the QB for that play. Therefore, the team QB gets the 4 points.
Here are the stats for the game (The SEA QB total includes the 2-pt conversion, though it is not stated within the stats):

IND/DEN Results
I did not quite see this coming. Granted, I am not surprised that the Colts beat Denver since Denver has not been what we expected them to be. However, watching that game was pretty sad. I doubt that Manning will want to leave on a sad note like that, however, the Broncos will need to really think about how they want to support him if it is the case. Nevertheless, with the Colts win (and the Packs win), all of the rosters lost at least five players today. Each roster has between 10-17 players remaining. However, the team with 10 players, Bjorn Werner's has three Colts players, along with a Colts win and Luck for MVP. So again, not everyone is out of it yet.
After the Semis, I am surprisingly still in first place with 276 points. Thankfully, game number four was pretty lackluster. I am still not optimistic going forward. Jason Kearney is in second place, one point behind, with 275 points. Josh Edwards moves up to second place with 271 points. So, a rushing touchdown separates first from third. Only 70 points separate first from last, so a few players going off and/or a few upsets and anything can happen.
Good luck next week!

DAL/GBP Results
I guess Dallas had a little karma brought back to them this week. A ref decision that essentially helped them win the game last week did the opposite this week. Although I thought the refs called a good game, I never like games decided by someone not fighting it out on the field.
I stay at first place with 267 points. This will most likely be the last time I am in first in this tournament. You can never trust Romo and the Cowboys (in the hockey version of this tournament, substitute the Cowboys with the Sharks). Jason Kearney jumps up to second place with 251 points. He got hurt a bit from the Dallas loss as well, but has an equal number of GB players. John LeDoux stays in third place with 234 points. The defending champ had a lot of silver and blue eggs in this basket.

CAR/SEA Results
I called this game for the Seahawks with ten minutes remaining in the fourth. As Carolina was driving, I was busy graying them out on rosters. That INT for a TD validated my thoughts. Overall, this game was a little bit of a letdown after game one. I like defensive games, but after watching a game full of offense (and suspense), this was a bit of a letdown. But, the team that should have won did.
After Game 2, I am still in first place with 228 points. Only having one QB playing tomorrow will hurt badly. Brady Klejeski shoots up to second place with 202 thanks to the 11 points from Benjamin. John LeDoux slips to third with 198 points.

BAL/NEP Results
Not being a Pats fan, I was really hoping that the Ravens would take them out. However, I just knew that throughout the game, they were just not building enough of a lead to make me satisfied that they were going to win. Nevertheless, the game was very exciting despite my final letdown. It just makes me even more excited for the rest of the weekend.
Please note, for the Edelman touchdown to Amendola, Edelman gets credit for the score and not the Pats QB. If the ball was hiked directly to Edelman, then the Pats QB gets the credit. However, the ball was hiked to Brady, who then lateraled to Edelman, who then threw the ball. So, the Pats QB touch the ball and after that point, it is the position player that gets the credit for the yards/score (like how a RB gets the credit after a lateral.
I am still in the lead after the first game of the semis with 177 points. Looking at my roster, I'd be surprised if I retain that lead by the end of the weekend. John LeDoux is in second place with 161 points. James Carter takes third with 159.

DET/DAL Results
This was clearly the best game of the week. Since I predicted that Dallas was going to go to the NFC Championship, this game had me in fits. I never was a Dallas fan or a Romo fan, so that added to my anxiety watching Dallas' inept play early on. The supposed best O-line in the NFL was getting schooled by arguably the best front four in the game. However, Dallas made a game of it, taking the lead for the first time late, thanks to that pass interference reversal, and then helped to provide an exciting ending to the game.
Just a note on the play in the fourth quarter before the two-minute warning - when Matthew Stafford fumbled the ball and DeMarcus Williams recovered, Detroit became the defense. When Williams fumbled and Detroit recovered, the Detroit defense gets the credit. So both defenses received a point on that play.
After the wild card games, Bjorn Werner and I are tied for first place with 115 points, which is great for us. However, our teams have lost the most amount of players, so this tournament is still very wide open. Next in the standings is James Carter, dropping from first, with 99 points. Overall, everyone is still in this, especially if there are teams loaded with number one and number two seeded players who did not play this weekend. So, anything can still happen. Good luck!

CIN/IND Results
It was a foregone conclusion before the game even started that the Bengals were going to lose this game. Trying to get production out of a team without AJ Green and Jermaine Gresham, and being led by Andy Dalton, who chokes more than Tony Romo this time of year, just meant that we were going to see 60 minutes of people going through the motions. I spent most of the game reading the newspaper. I do hope that they turn things around since I like Marvin Lewis and the Cincy defense is very solid. Today was not their day.
After game three of the wild card round, James Carter takes over first place with 80 points as he wisely chose the player with the most points scored in NFL playoff history, Adam Vinatieri. Staying in second place is Jason Davis, who had two Indy players on his roster. Multiple Indy players also benefited Bjorn Werner and Josh Edwards, tied for third with 62 points a piece.

BAL/PIT Results
Ben Tate. Couldn't do squat when he was with the Vikings. Looked like he was going to do something early in this game and then proved that he was the bum we thought he was. The running game for Pittsburgh was no better, which helped them lose against Baltimore for the first time in the playoffs. Not having Bell in the game really exposed the Steelers. After those two key blitzes and quick score by the Ravens to put them up by 30 took the wind out of Pittsburgh, enough for me to quickly lose interest and groan that I took four PIT players for some reason.
After game two, I am in the lead with 45 points. Again, I thought Pittsburgh was going to do something. Jason Davis is in second place with 36 points. James Carter takes third with 31 points. The last two had the PIT QB as well.

AZC/CAR Results
This was a terrible game. This game exemplified why the lowest-seeded, least sexy game is the first playoff game; football fans are excited for the playoffs to begin, so excited that they will watch anything. However, the game is such that if you miss it, oh well. In this game, Arizona didn't look ready for prime time. At all. Historically bad. However, Carolina didn't really look like they wanted to win this game either. With their sloppy play on offense and special teams, the Panthers are not going to make it past the next round at all.
After game one, Laura Phillip takes the lead with 16 points, wisely choosing the AZ DST and Jonathan Stewart, two players that actually did something. Jason Kearney is in second with 11 points, thanks to two Carolina players. There is a three-way tie for third, including John LeDoux, who won the tournament last year.
