Nothing pleased me more than watching the Plax-less Giants go down in a home playoff game to the Eagles. It reminded me a lot of last year's Giant/Dallas game. Third game of the season between NFC East rivals with the road team beating a 13-win team. Wasn't everybody rubber-stamping the Giants into the SuperBowl? One know-it-all radio host said as much during his Sunday morning chat with Phil Simms. "The Titans, Phil, presented the most difficult matchup for the Giants," said Francesa in one of those I know the answer before I ask the question. It wasn't only Francesa. Others did the same thing. And John Carney picked a bad game to be bad.
I had an enjoyable listen on Westwood One with Ian Eagle/Dennis Green doing Pittsburgh/San Diego. Who'd have thought former coach Dennis Green ("The Bears were who we thought they were.")would have been so informative, concise, and entertaining. This guy should be doing more color. Very refreshing. When a third quarter punt glanced off a San Diego player and picked up by Pittsburgh, Ian Eagle went into full celebratory mode with an emphatic Touchdown Pittsburgh! Coach Green though, knew better. He calmly told the audience that the ball, in that scenario, could not be advanced. No Steeler touchdown but Pittsburgh would take possession at the spot of the foul. Correct call, Coach Green.
