Auburn 2010-2011 Tostitos BCS National Championship Game Chatter


 Auburn
2010 BCS Championship Contender

Well, Auburn Tiger fans here we go this should be a high scoring game. The over/under is 73 points. That means both offenses love to light up the scoreboard. With Auburn's 37th bowl attendance will this be their 21st win? Auburn has the all the tools to get the job done. Here are some of the key players that have a real chance to make a difference in the game.
  1. Head Coach Gene Chizik: Led his team to a 12-0 record with a point differential of 555-318. Using a spread running offense he turned them loose to keep the fans excited as he pulled in the wins. The wins brought accolads and awards here is a couple so far this year.
  2. Running Back Cam Newton: Run and gun quarterback that has the legs and arm that can put any play towards the endzone. His playmaking ability has Fran Tarkenton, Randall Cunningham and Vince Young all over it. The system and offense is a perfect fit for his talented dynamic ability. We have seen highlight reels all year of his college greatness. His peers have noticed and awards aplenty for the junior quarterback.
  3. Left Tackle Lee Zimba: Making the offensive holes or keeping the defense at bay is this 6'8" 319 tackle. All year long this beast has gotten it done. He was also honored for the great job.
  4. Defensive Tackle Nick Fairley: Leads the defense with 10.5 sacks and 55 tackles with 31 of them solo. He will be all over Darron Thomas and the offense of the Oregon Ducks. Offenses fear him and the voters love him.
  5. Middle Linebacker Josh Bynes: If you are coming up the middle or trying to throw over it you will need to get past this guy. He led the team in tackles 71 and interceptions 3 and ready to help the Tigers take home the BCS trophy.


Look for these men to try and win there place in history!

2011 NFL Playoffs: Green Bay Packers Defeat Philadelphia Eagles


Packers pulled it out!

What a wild card game! The thrill of Aaron Rodgers throwing 3 touchdown passes to Brandon Jackson, James Jones and rookie Tom Crabtree and they were three of nine recievers thrown to and was just a start to the excitement. After a two fumble first quater we wondered if the playoff jitters were going to get to Rodgers. But, today turned out to be his day! We also saw game ball winner James Starks rush for 123 yards a Green Bay Packers playoff rushing record. The Packers defense was ready for Michael Vick and had him back pedaling all night. He did throw one touchdown pass to Jason Avant and Vick rushed for another. The receivers were dropping balls all over the field leaving points on the turf. There were more points left by the Ray Finkle Award winner David Akers missing two much needed field goals that were the difference in the loss. Then came the interception with 33 seconds on the clock Michael Vick throws it up in the endzone and Tramon Williams came down with the ball to put the end to the Eagles season.
Aaron Rodgers played his game and looks healthy for the rest of the playoffs!

Next opponent: Atlanta Falcons





2011 NFL Playoffs: Baltimore Ravens Defeat Kansas City Chiefs


Ravens Win!

It was win or go home and the Baltimore Ravens proved they were up for the challenge and defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 30 - 7 in a sloppy, turnover riddled game. The game plan from both teams seemed to be get the turnovers and good field postition to score on the big play! Matt Cassell threw three interceptions to Haruki Nakamura, Dawan Landry and Josh Wilson, while Joe Flacco coughed up the ball twice and showed that the quarterbacks could not get there game on track. The quarterbacks weren't the only ones with the butterfingers. Raven's Haruki Nakamura and Chief's Jamaal Charles and Dexter McCluster had fumbling of their own. Jamaal did have some bright spots in his 15 yards passing and 82 yards rushing with the lone touchdown for the Chiefs. Game ball goes to Raven's Todd Heap for his role in getting the Raven's playoff record 10 reception 108 yard performance. Willis McGahee, Anquin Boldin and Ray Rice all also found the endzone. The Chiefs mistakes on offense had the defense of the Raven's licking there chops late. Down the stretch, two sacks, one by Ray Lewis  just wrapping up Cassell, and an interception by Josh Wison sealed the deal.

Next team in 2011 NFL Playoffs will be New England Patriots!







2011 NFL Playoffs: New York Jets Defeat Indianapolis Colts


Jets Win the Jets Win!!!
The New York Jets stymied the offense of Peyton Manning. We should give the game ball to Rex Ryan and the way he handled the defense to stop the Indianapolis Colts in their playoff run. The game started out slow with a zero to zero tie going into the 2nd quarter, just what Rex wanted a defensive football game. I guess he knew the inconsistancy of his quarterback Mark Sanchez and his 189 yard, 1 interception and a passer rating of 62.5 wasn't going to do it all! His best reciever Braylon Edwards only amassed 62 yards receiving. Who did it all was the resurgance of  Ladainian Tomlinson and his 2 touchdown runs. Nick Folk avoided the Ray Finkle Award and put it between the uprights for the win!
I wonder if Mike Greenberg is happy?

Next game in the 2011 NFL playoffs will be the New England Patriots





2011 NFL Playoffs: Seattle Seahawks Defeat New Orleans Saints


Seattle Seahawks Win!!!

Matt Hasselbeck and the Seattle Seahawks pulled the first major upset in the 2011 NFL Playoffs by taking down the reigning champion New Orleans Saints. Matt threw four touchdown passes his career playoff high.
The passes were to three different recievers Brandon Stokley, Mike Williams, and two by John Carlson. The running game is what stole the show by clinching the win by an amazing, stiff arming, missed tackling 67 yard run by Marshawn Lynch and a total of 131 yards rushing! A sweet victory for the trio of Matt Hasselbeck, a man trying keep his career going, Mike Williams, the comeback story of the year in the NFL, and Marshawn Lynch coming over from the Buffalo Bills in a trade made it happen in Seattle.
Another Seahawk that is jumping for joy is first year head coach Pete Carroll trying to get a BCS College National Championship ring and a Super Bowl ring!

Their next team to try and beat will be the offensive juggernaut Atlanta Falcons.



The Saints Drew Brees does what he does and thats throw trying to pull it out. He threw for a playoff record 404 total yards and two touchdowns. What hurt the New Orleans Saints was the running game. Reggie Bush a total of 12 yards rushing and the total for the team was only 77 yards from scrimmage. A tough loss for a team trying to repeat.
