The first day of the NFL season I posted my playoffs predictions. Boldly, I had the Saints and Chargers duking it out in Miami. I thought it would be an entertaining game, especially with the Brees-San Diego story. I knew better, because San Diego’s head coach is Norv Turner, and I have a strong theory about him. You see, no Norv Turner- or Wade Phillips- head coached team will ever make it to the Super Bowl. Anyway, the Chargers got whipped by the Fighting Rexes and the Colts made it to the Big Game (which if you didn’t know, then how did you get on the Internet?).
So I got a lot wrong. I only got half the NFC teams right, and 4 of 6 AFC teams right. The seeding is all messed up. But hey, who really expected the Cowboys to make the playoffs? Who thought the Titans and Steelers would tank half their seasons? (On a side note, have you noticed that the last two Steelers teams to win the Super Bowl ended up missing the playoffs the following year? They’re the exception to the rule, lately… with both the Cardinals and Seahawks making the playoffs following a Super Bowl loss. DUN-DUN-DUN!)
