I think a few people, perhaps Noble Savage fans or members of the Raider nation, have expressed their love and admiration of Norv Turner. Looks like this year Norv Turner has actually done what he was hired to do - win a play-off game. Granted, the Titans were not the toughest opponent with Young slowed down by a injury and the patchwork offensive line. But the Titans did stop LT - and Turner won by having Rivers throw the ball. The addition of Chris Chambers has made the team multi-dimensional. Success for Norv? Yup. Better than Marty? Well, better beat the Colts to prove that. However, the game plan shouldn't rely on 6 ints from Manning and 2 missed field goals from Adam, AND two kick returns for TDs.
And Eli against the Bucs - I thought I'd see a turnover fest, but the Giants turned the ball over zero times? Zero? The Giants may have done that once all season. A play-off victory for Eli, and Garcia who had beaten the Giants in the play-offs twice gets his first loss against NY in post season play.
Forth and two, near mid field, down by one with less than 2:00 minutes on the clock, and the QB runs right up the middle for a big gain setting up the game winning field goal. Sounds like Big Ben to me, but nope - Gerrard and the Jags.
And finally, Joe Gibbs has the lead in the fourth quarter - he is 17-0 lifetime with the lead in the playoffs in the second half. Then Matt "We're gonna get the ball and were gonna SCORE" Hasselbeck actually does march down the field and score. Then Todd Collins throws his first two pics since 1997. O.K., so he hasn't really played since 1997 but it sounds cool.
Bizarre first week, and I do not think any team has a lock next week - should be interesting.

The Chargers barely beat a Titans team missing their go-to receiver (TE Scaife), their center and guard, with QB Young aching from last week's game-ending injury. Giving Turner credit for that win is like blaming oxygen for forest fires.
I used to like QB Rivers but lately he's been acting like a total bitch.
The Giants beat the weakest team in the entire playoffs. The Bucs were only in because the rest of the NFC South was so godawful, they won the division by default.
And the Redskins claimed a 14-13 lead in the 4th. Failing to convert on a recovered kickoff is what sunk Washington, not Hasselbald.
All three of these "winners" should get dry-humped next weekend, or my name isn't Pieface McKrumpalot.
The Giants barely lost to the Patriots - and the game meant something more to the Patriots. The Giants have lost to Dallas twice, but now TO may not play (his two second half TDs sealed the deal last time). Also, the Giants were coming back in the first game of the season, and if I remember correctly Eric Cartmen replaced an injured Manning in the 4th quarter. I definately think the Giants can win that game. Not the Seahawks though, but still I'd rather have Hasselbeck than Campbell and Todd Collins.
The Chargers already defeated the Colts this season - so it is possible, though unlikely. I don't see it being a blow out though.
Brady will have to beat the Jags in the fourth quarter. Sure, they are undefeated, but most of thier near misses came when they faced good defense. Jags have that, and can eat up the clock. I don't see anything near ahh.. let's say a 52-7 victory here.
And no, your name isn't Pieface McKrumpalot - it's Andy McChickenShitSkinSellOut
Wow, first the Holocaust, then Joe Gibbs retires and now two IDYFT contributors are on my schwanz every posting.
It's getting hard to be the Chosen around here.
