Wildcard Weekend Day 1

How did the Kansas City Chiefs lose the game?  It made absolutely no sense.  They had a huge lead.  Somebody should get fired for that one.  To be that far ahead and lose in the last few minutes is just crazy.  

I am not a big Alex Smith fan, but today he did his job.  He probably played the best game of his career today.  It must really sting to play that well and still get an L.  

There is really something funny going on with some of these nfl games.  In the past, a team would get a lead and put a team away.  Now, it seems like teams don't want to use the instinct to lock games down.  It is really strange.

The New Orleans Saints beat the Philly Eagles.  I didn't really care who won this game.  It was some good entertainment.  This was another baffling game.  The Eagles seemed like decided not to use their best option on offense ( DESEAN JACKSON ).  Sure the run game is good, but you need to get the ball into your play makers hands.  

The Saints really had a chance to put this game away, but they let the Eagles make a real game of it.  Turnovers did play a role in it.  The Saints really used some good time management close to the end of the game.  I saw the last play that the Eagles scored on and it just looked like the line was unbalanced, like the Saints wanted them to score with enough time left for them to come back.  The Saints proceeded to march down the field and drain the clock to kick the winning field goal.  The running game for the Saints showed up at the right time. 

Can't wait for the second day of wildcard weekend.
