We Made It!

Week 17 is over! Well the Broncos-Chargers game is still on but close enough. All I can say is "we made it!" I say that for a few reasons:

1. The 49ers won an AWESOME game!
2. The 49ers hired Mike Singletary!
3. The Eagles beat the Cowboys and made it to the playoffs!

So all in all, this was a great ending to a long, exciting regular season for me. Now on to an exciting post season. The cool thing is that it's really going to be hard to call who goes to the Super Bowl - especially after the favorites, the Patriots and the Cowboys, have been knocked out of the playoffs altogether and the Giants aren't very strong going into the post season. On a side note - not sure it was very smart for the Giants to rest their starters. That tends to be a death sentence in the playoffs.

I'm really disappointed they didn't show the Eagles-Cowboys game here. Although, not really sure you can call it a game with a score of 44-6. But still, I would have loved to have seen how this game completely unravelled. I'm shocked that the Cowboys did so poorly. I know they haven't been playing their best, but NO touchdowns???

I went to today's Niners-Redskins game and it was fantastic! We're really starting to notice a huge difference since Singletary took over. So it was wonderful to start the game knowing Jed York had been promoted to team president, coming out with a huge win at home and then finishing with Singletary being announced as the head coach. I kind of equate Singletary to Coach Dungy in that he's so successful because of the character he brings to the organization overall. Although it sure helps that he's a Hall of Fame linebacker with a great work ethic (Dungy actually played one season with the Niners as well).

So a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks and the 2009 season as well. We haven't gotten off the roller coaster yet:)
