Falcons WR White got what he wished for

Don’t try to fool us. Falcons WR Roddy White got exactly what he wished for when the Seahawks knocked off the Saints.

Dukes: Sanchez must make throws

The Jets have had their chances against the Colts, but NFL Network analyst Jamie Dukes believes that Jets QB Mark Sanchez is making too many mistakes and missing too many open receivers. The biggest transgression, however, is the interception in the Colts’ end zone that left the Jets without any points despite being in easy field-goal range.

Best playoff run of all time?

Moments after Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch ended the Saints’ title reign, Twitter was aflutter with hyperbole of that being the greatest playoff run of all time.

Seahawks RB Lynch ends Saints’ title run

Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch closed the Saints’ title defense with a 67-yard touchdown run to seal the game for Seattle.

Brooks: Running game is difference for Saints

The Saints Super Bowl championship was won because of a gutsy call — an onsides kick to start the second half of Super Bowl XLIV. Could this same bravado have ended the team’s championship run?

Colts’ Hayden, Session, Diem ruled out vs. Jets

As reported earlier Saturday by NFL Network reporter Albert Breer, the Indianapolis Colts have made outside linebacker Clint Session (elbow) inactive for the AFC wild-card game against the New York Jets.

Eisen: Vintage ’05 Hasselbeck

NFL Network’s Rich Eisen points out that Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck is showing some of that 2005 moxie that helped lead Seattle to its first Super Bowl.

Playoff seeding confuses Ochocinco

Apparently overtime is not the only rules that continue to baffle NFL players. Seems that some of them don’t understand playoff seeding, either.

We have a ball game in Seattle

Most NFL enthusiasts wrote the Seahawks off (in cyberspace) after the Saints were staked to a 10-0 lead. But The Seahawks answered with Matt Hasselbeck‘s 11-yard touchdown pass to John Carlson.

Owens would love to catch passes from Bradford

Could Terrell Owens be headed to St. Louis? One enterprising (presumed) St. Louis fan asked T.O. (via Twitter from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) if he would like to catch passes from QB Sam Bradford. Owens said that he “would love it.”

Saints S Jenkins, TE Graham out vs. Seahawks

No big surprises on the Saints’ inactive list for Saturday’s wild-card matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

Harbaugh vs. Carroll just what NFC West needs

Jim Harbaugh has a new job, and once again, he is chasing Pete Carroll. The two established a bitter rivalry in the Pac-10, coaching Stanford and USC respectively, and now they will tangle as the coaches of the 49ers and Seahawks.

Pick Six: Coaches who should have stayed in school

You cannot blame Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh for considering a leap to the NFL. The allure of an NFL coaching gig can be very strong.

But sometimes the grass is not always greener, Jim. This is the kind of thinking that compelled McLean Stevenson to leave “M*A*S*H” to star in his own sitcom, “Hello, Larry”. Sometimes the best job is the one you don’t leave.

Big prospects declare their draft intent

While Andrew Luck decided to stay a Cardinal, plenty of others are dropping out of school to become a member of different class at the 2011 Draft.
