WILDCARD WEEK HAS COME AND GONE
AND THIS YEAR THERE WAS ONLY ONE BIG SURPRISE
AS THE HIGHLY-RATED PACKERS' DEFENSE
MELTED DOWN BEFORE OUR EYES

THE SECOND HALF OF SUNDAY'S FOOTBALL GAME
WAS FILLED WITH A MULTITUDE OF BIG PLAYS
IF THE PACKERS HAD ONLY MADE ONE MORE
THEY'D HAVE BEEN ON THE FIELD THIS SATURDAY

ALAS SUCH A PLAY WAS NOT TO BE
AT LEAST FROM GREEN AND GOLD PERSPECTIVE
WHILE RODGERS AND COMPANY PUT ON QUITE A SHOW
IT APPEARED THAT THE DEFENSE WAS SIMPLY DEFECTIVE

KURT WARNER PICKED THE 'D' APART
FINDING THE FIELD WIDE OPEN IN THE MIDDLE
MCCARTHY AND HIS COACHES WILL TAKE THE OFFSEASON
TO SOLVE THIS MOST COMPLEX OF RIDDLES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE VIKINGS WATCHED WITH INTEREST
AS THEIR FUTURE OPPONENTS WERE SELECTED
AND IT'S NOT SURE THE COWBOYS, THIS WEEKS FOE
WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE THEY'D HAVE SELECTED

THE 'POKES ARE RUNNING HOT RIGHT NOW
PLAYING WELL AND NOT MAKING MISTAKES
QUARTERBACK TONY ROMO IS FINALLY SHOWING
THAT HE MAY HAVE THE LATE SEASON TALENT THAT IT TAKES

THE QUESTION REMAINING TO BE SEEN

AND THE ONE DETERMINING THIS GAMES' WINNER
IS WILL THE VIKINGS WILL PLAY AT THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL
OR WILL THEY LIE DOWN AND BECOME DALLAS' DINNER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE RAVENS HANDLED THE PATS LAST WEEK
AND SHOWED THEY DESERVE TO BE RESPECTED
BUT THE COLTS WERE SEEDED NUMBER ONE
SO BEATING BALTIMORE IS PRETTY MUCH EXPECTED

THE JETS NEVER LET THE BENGALS INTO THE GAME
ESTABLISHING CONTROL RIGHT FROM THE START
HOWEVER THE CHARGERS FROM SAN DIEGO
WON'T STOP UNTIL THEY'VE TORN THE JETS APART

IN BEATING THE PACKERS, ARIZONAS CARDS
DEALT THEMSELVES A LOSING HAND
FOR THEY DREW A MATCHUP WITH THE SAINTS
PROVIDING AN OCCASION FOR THEIR LAST STAND

THE VIKINGS ARE WELL-RESTED AND CONFIDENT
AS THEY WELCOME THE POKES TO THEIR HOOD
BUT AS THEY CLEAN OUT THEIR LOCKERS MONDAY
THE GAME DIDNT GO THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD
