After Wild Card weekend kicked off with three double-digit victories, NFL fans were treated to a thrilling Wild Card finale as the Cardinals upended the Packers 51-45 in an NFC playoff matchup that won’t soon be forgotten.
Now that Wild Card weekend is in the rear view mirror, it is time for the divisional round. With NFC and AFC championship game berths at stake, all four contests this weekend should be filled with plenty of intensity from start to finish.
Saturday, 2:30 p.m. MST
ARIZONA CARDINALS (10-6) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (13-3)
TV: FOX
Why You Should Watch: Fresh off a dramatic 51-45 overtime win over the Packers in an instant-classic Wild Card matchup last Sunday in Arizona, the defending NFC-champion Cardinals look to keep their playoff momentum rolling when they square off with the NFC’s No.1 seed, the Saints, at the Superdome in New Orleans.
Anyone with an infatuation for high-scoring games should be glued to their televisions for this showdown. With Kurt Warner firing on all cylinders in the opening round of the playoffs, Green Bay’s defense had no answers for Arizona’s offensive unit — surrendering 531 total yards and forcing the Cardinals to punt only on one occasion.
In that same game, the Cardinals defense had just as much trouble slowing down Aaron Rodgers and the Packers once the Green and Gold got settled into the game. Now, after giving up six touchdowns to the Packers, the Cardinals face a New Orleans offense that averaged a league-high 31.9 points per game this season and also scored a league-high 510 points in 16 regular season games.
While the offensive firepower that will be on display is reason enough to watch, fans across the NFL will get an opportunity to see if the Saints can regain their regular-season mojo, which disappeared over the final few weeks of the season. When New Orleans jumped out to a 13-0 start, rumblings about a possible undefeated season began to surface. But the Saints proceeded to lose their final three regular season games, including a last-second Week 15 home loss to 3-13 Tampa Bay.
Keep An Eye On: QB Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals. To Kurt Warner, age is just a number. On the same weekend that rumors surfaced that the 38-year-old signal caller might retire after the 2009 postseason, Warner put together one of the best playoff performances of his career, completing 29-of-33 passes for 379 yards and five touchdowns without an interception. Warner was the catalyst to Arizona’s Super Bowl appearance last postseason, throwing for 1,147 yards and 11 touchdowns to lead the Cardinals to within moments of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Another strong playoff performance by the veteran on Sunday and Arizona could be headed to its second straight NFC Championship game.
Saturday, 6:15 p.m. MST
BALTIMORE RAVENS (9-7) at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (14-2)
TV: NBC
Why You Should Watch: Riding high after an impressive upset victory at New England on Sunday, the Ravens head to Indianapolis to take on a well-rested Colts team in the divisional round at Lucas Oil Stadium. Baltimore exploded onto the 2009 playoff scene when Ray Rice raced through a hole for an 83-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage against the Patriots. Soon after, the Ravens owned a 24-0 lead heading into the second quarter and the game really was never in question after that point. The Ravens knocked off a Patriots team that was undefeated at Gillette Stadium in 2009 and also handed Tom Brady his first home playoff loss in the process.
One week after facing off against one of the game’s most established quarterbacks, the Ravens take on another in the divisional round, in league MVP Peyton Manning. As efficient as quarterbacks are built, Manning threw for 4,500 yards during the regular season and led the league with 33 touchdowns — the most to his name since his 49-touchdown effort in 2004.
The Ravens allow 16.3 points per game, but something tells us that a banged up Baltimore secondary will be in for a tough test. Going up against the likes of Reggie Wayne, Austin Collie and Dallas Clark, Ravens QB Joe Flacco will have to do much more than complete 4-of-10 passes for 34 yards with interception — as was the case last Sunday in New England — for John Harbaugh’s team to pull out a second-consecutive road victory.
Keep An Eye On: Rice. The Ravens rushed the ball 52 times against the Patriots, netting 234 yards and four touchdowns for their efforts. More than half of that production came from Rice, who amassed 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries, including his stadium-silencing touchdown scamper to start the contest. That output should come as little surprise, however, as the 22-year-old has put together game-changing performances all season long. Going up against a Colts defense that gives up 126.5 rushing yards per game, Rice should be in position for another big day on the ground. Also, watch the speedster as a receiving threat out of the backfield — he caught 78 passes for 702 yards during the regular season.
Sunday, 11:00 a.m. MST
DALLAS COWBOYS (11-5) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (12-4)
TV: FOX
Why You Should Watch: The Cowboys head to Minnesota full of optimism and firing on all cylinders. And rightfully so. By beating the Eagles for the second time in as many weeks and the third time this season, Dallas recorded its first playoff victory since 1996. Now, Tony Romo and company — winners of four straight overall — are looking to make a prolonged postseason run after ending that 13-year streak.
Standing in their way is a Minnesota team that is undefeated at the Metrodome in 2009 and eager to make it to its first NFC championship game since 2001, when the Vikings got destroyed by the New York Giants, 41-0. Speaking of nightmarish NFC Championship games against the Giants, quarterback Brett Favre’s last playoff appearance came against New York in 2007. In that game, an overtime interception by Favre led to a heartbreaking Packers loss. Since that moment, Favre has strived to return to the postseason in two different uniforms. Now, fit with an explosive running back — Adrian Peterson — and a stout defense, the 40-year-old gunslinger is hopeful his 19th NFL season ends with a Super Bowl victory.
While much will be made about Romo, a Wisconsin native, going head-to-head with his childhood idol, Favre, the game could very well come down to which team can establish the run more effectively. Anchored by Peterson, the Vikings average 119.9 rushing yards per game. Meanwhile, Dallas’ triple-headed ground game, featuring Marion Barber, Tashard Choice and Felix Jones, amassed 131.4 rushing yards per game during the regular season and 198 rushing yards against Philadelphia on Wild Card weekend. And while Peterson might be thought of in many circles as the most explosive running back to take to the turf on Sunday, watch out out for Jones, who notched a 73-yard third-quarter touchdown run against the Eagles and can also change the game in a blink of an eye.
Keep An Eye On: DeMarcus Ware. Banged up at the end of the regular season after suffering a neck sprain against San Diego in mid-December, Ware looked plenty healthy against the Eagles on Wild Card weekend, notching two sacks and forcing a fumble to set the tone for a stellar defensive effort by the Cowboys. The fifth-year pro from Troy, who recorded 11 sacks during the regular season, should have an intriguing matchup all game long against Vikings offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie.
Sunday, 2:40 p.m. MST
NEW YORK JETS (9-7) at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (13-3)
TV: CBS
Why You Should Watch: New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan’s playoff prediction vs. San Diego’s 11-game winning streak. After securing the final AFC playoff spot, Ryan didn’t hesitate to showcase the confidence he has in his team — saying he believed his team should be favored in every postseason game it plays this year.
Ryan’s players certainly backed that confidence level on Wild Card weekend, playing heady football on both sides of the ball and defeating the Bengals 24-14 in Cincinnati. On offense, the Jets rushed 41 times for 171 yards with two touchdowns, while rookie Mark Sanchez executed play-action passes to perfection and finished 12-of-15 for 182 yards with a touchdown pass. Defensively, New York limited Carson Palmer to 146 passing yards.
After starting the season 2-3, the Chargers won their final 11 regular season games, including three victories over 2009 playoff teams — the Eagles, Cowboys and Bengals. During that impressive run, San Diego proved it can win in a variety of ways. Sandwiched between an array of blowout victories, Norv Turner’s squad squeaked out a 21-20 road win at the Giants in Week 9, a 20-17 road win at Dallas in Week 14, a 27-24 win home win against Cincinnati in Week 15 and a 23-20 home win over Washington in the team’s regular-season finale in Week 17.
Keep An Eye On: CB Darrelle Revis, New York Jets. Revis is swiftly becoming recognized as one of the best cover corners in the NFL — if not the premier defensive back in all of football. The 2009 Pro Bowl selection shut down Chad Ochocinco on Sunday, limiting the big-play wideout to just two receptions for 28 yards, and notching an interception for his secondary efforts. During the regular season, Revis recorded six interceptions. The third-year pro will face another stiff challenge this weekend, going up against Vincent Jackson, who had 68 catches for 1,167 receiving yards in 2009.
NOTE: Prior to Sunday’s game in San Diego, 32 young football players from around the country will compete in the NFL Punt, Pass and Kick National Finals. Three kids from the state of Colorado will be on hand to participate in the finals of the competition: Jordan Remley from Arvada, CO (Girls 10-11 age group), Mikala Gordon, Pueblo, CO (Girls 14-15) and Zach Hooker, Fort Collins, CO (Boys 12-13).

I’ve been a bronco for 24 years and am increasingly obsessed every year. I’ve read your comments every day since Cutler was traded so I feel like I know you all.
What a season. What a start to this off-season. I hope some of you can make it over to watch the game!

Can I get a LMAO…….???
Well, thanks for putting up pictures of the eight elete QB’s that are in the final hunt for a SB championship.
It’s kinda like watching your neighbor wax up his 23 foot Bayliner while your loading the rowboat in the back of the pickup thinking to yourself, “we don’t need a big, nice, fast boat to keep up with the rest of the fisherman on the lake….
We’ll just ROW REAL HARD!!!!!LOL
Really good analogy Orange_Crusher.
Looks like they have us picking Mclain in the first round?????/
I really think we need to address NT first,what do you guys think,its just me and my bud light talkin right now.LOL
adios amigos
I think that analogy was meant for me, thanks OC, LMAO… If I ever catch Orton rowing on the lake, I’ll give him a tow, LOL.
BFE92, bud light??? I had you pegged for a bud man, no watered down beer here, just the good stuff. Let’s address the NT in free agency first, there are plenty of good choices, who knows what we’ll need in the draft, gotta see what we acquire in FA first.
We could go real fast If we both had Oartons to row with…lol
Hell Yeah
A lot of people knock free agency,but thats what we’re built on,By God,we won 2 superbowls with it!!!!!!!!!!!
Baylin,whadda u drink???????????LOL
I know you’re a damn achoholic.LOL
Not too light,Not too heavy,you seen the commercials ain’t you?????LOL
Correct BFE92, I am a chocoholic, can’t ever get enough of those cherry liquor chocolates, LOL. Seriously, I am a true believer in micro brewery beers, love all the darks, Porter and Stouts, specially now in the winter, in the summer love Hefeweizen and IPA’s, got some great pubs to go to here, like the Flying Saucer with 85 beers on tap, and the Dig with 27 beers on tap all of them american micro brewery beers. I am a beer connaisseur, and proud of it! LOL.
Yeah,but what’s your favorite??????????
I was true to Budweiser,but my friends talked me into Bud Light??
All in kindhearted jest, my Bronco brethren…
Bay,
On NT, you didn’t like Ronald Fields performance this year? He didn’t get hurt and took a lot of double teams while helping the Doominator get the sacks and glory.
His tackles were low but I thought he did pretty well clogging up the middle, and he was durable.
I would look elsewhere for the first possible postions to improve. Like the Guard positions… They are the shield for the QB and the driving force that pushes the LOS forward. We need two Big 330+ pound Herfords up there. That would start us off in the right direction… imho
TAST GREAT! LESS FILLING!!!
NT,NT,NT,or DE
It changes, in my fridge now I have some Real Ale Coffee Porter (a Texas Brewery), some lucky U IPA special edition from Breckenridge brewery, Colorado, some Peroni, Italian Lager and some IPA from Snake Dog, Maryland. You’re getting thirsty yet?
Too much running up the middle on us.IMO,actually a fu**ing fact!!!!!!!!!!
BEER… IS….. FOOD…….
broncos keep making the same mistakes for about 8 years now.I hope they can get it right.
Fields had is moments is all I’ll say about that, nothing to write my mother about. Seriously, we need a very large body who can move to occupy the middle, like most of the top teams in the league against the run have, we don’t have it, sorry.
It’s a proven fact.
Praise be Baylin is right.
Cody,Cody,Cody.
Wilfork, Franklin, Hampton, Pickett, and that’s just in FA. Let’s look there first, I sound like an old record, don’t I?
OC, I agree about the O line too, we need new guards and a bigger center real bad, I would say both lines did just as poorly except for the fact that we have good O tackles in Clady and Harris, so starting with the D line may make more sense, but bothh have to be rebuilt if we want to go anywhere next year, I’ll stake all the beer in my fridge on it. LOL.
Preach it brother>>>>>>>>>>>
We got 7 rounds,and free agency to get it done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My thoughts….
Im with many of you…Draft is too hit and miss, especially when it comes to DL….We need to be the MOST AGGRESSIVE in FA when it comes to DL and OL….Because nothing beats proven trench men with experience
Plus if we do that we can get McClain as predicted and possibly be able to find a way to steal colt mccoy in late first early second (Depending on if Brandstater is our future or not cuz it sure aint Orton)…then we can spend our2/3/4 getting 1Guard 1DL 1CB (we need more youth) and maybe 1 really fast RB for KR of who could be our homerun RB like Tatum Bell was in 05 when we had the original smash and Dash (Mike Anderson and Tatum Bell) it was an amazing year…1000+ for Anderson 950+ for Tatum….
ps: Im also a fan of Jacoby Ford from Clemson (WR/KR). This man is a speed demon said to run a 4.1 before (his recorded lowest being a 4.2)….Not the Ideal WR at 5’9 185 but all we need him for is return and he has skills in that category….our special teams has suffered for a while and while royal is amazing…we don’t have anyone else that is as good as him at KR so if he gets hurt no one to fill the void not to mention we would have lost our second best receiver (Maybe 1st Best depending on if Marshall remains a Bronco)…We can get Jacoby easy in later rounds…
TRB, so if we get that real fast RB for Moreno, who is your smash in your smash and dash?
I think you are way off in your assesment on this one, the only smash we have are Jordan, who is mediocre and Hillis who McD doesn’t use, so we are left with the finesse runers, if you wish, Moreno and Bucky, not quite the dash speed as you refer, but still a lot closer to that category than saying Moreno is the smash. I believe opposite of you, we need smash power runners for this O, not dash anything, a power running scheme calls for power runners, guys who get the chains moving up the middle, it’s efficiency that is the reward, like the dink and dunk in the O, not the flashy stuff, that’s what McD wants to build here, that’s why we need rebuilding the lines, so we can win games in the trenches, not amaze eveyone watching. Unfortunately the dazzling days are over for the near future, let’s win the old fashion way, grinding it out in the trenches both sides of the ball, everyone should get used to the idea, no more Cutler, no more Marshall, probably, no more Scheffler, most likely, all the flash is being trimmed out, it’s obvious, what we’ll be left with is true journeymen, with very little flash, who have the heart to win games as a team and leave their egos at home.
On the FA before draft assesment, I completely agree with you, that’s mainly how McD rebuilt our team last year, much less of a crap shoot, just use the draft for what spots you could’t address in FA, or if most of your concerns were addressed in FA, you then can start thinking drafting by talent rather than position, which is less of a crap shoot that way. Of course, those are just my opinions, and even so we differ on those at times, you know I’m going to voice them, no direspect to you, as you well know.
There cetrtainly are sveral areas where the Broncos need to improve by either free agency or the draft. Who the Broncos pick in the first round could easily change totally depending on which free agents they sign. the free agency period is certainly going to be interesting especailly with the current CBA in effect. If a new CBA is signed before free agency takes effect, it will totally change the free agency market. With that said, how do the current Broncos stact up?
QB
Orton: Not a francchise QB, but, you aren’t #10 rated QB for your good looks. A keeper for a few years
Simms: Bubble. Signing Jeff Garcia is my idea of getting the best backup QB available.
Brandsatter: Keeper, has potential, only time will tell.
RB
Buckhalter: Bubble. Great runner qwhen he’s healthy, which isn’t very often.
Moreno: Keeper. Pass blocking for a rookie was exceptional.
Jodan: Gone
Hillis: Keeper. Will be used much more by McD next season.
WR
Royal: Excellent number 2. Better than average kick/punt returner.
LLoyd: Bubble
McKinley(?): Keeper
Marshall: Keeper. Needs to continue improving his attitude and effort.
Stokley: Bubble. Not used enough by McD last season. Exceptional slot receiver. Age a problem.
Gaffney: Bubble. Showed he can do it in KC game, but old.
TE
Graham: Keeper
Scheffler: Bubble. Not McDs TE style.
Quinn: Keeper. McDs TE style.
TACKLE
Clady: All pro for the next 10 years at least
Ryan: All pro caliber play. Hope he fully recovers for surgery.
Polumbus: Bubble. Barely adequate sub.
Gorin: Cut. Didn’t even fill in for Polumbus on bad games.
GUARD
Hamilton: Cut or retired. Has never fully recovered from concussion two seasons ago. Old.
Hockenstein: Bubble. Adequate fill in, but only for short periods. Not starting caliber.
Kuper: Keeper. Not spectacular, but not a liability.
Olsen: Bubble.
CENTER:
Wiegman: Bubble. Old, light.
Hamilton: Gone
PUNTER
Berger: Bubble. 41.4 gross, 37.9 net punting average (Kern’s was 46.1 gross, 34.5 net)). Not bad, but not spectacular. Old, inconsistant. Prater 18 for 19 with Beger holding (7 for 10 with Kern).
Colquitt: Bubble. Second season of tutoring will, hiopefully, improve his consistancy.
KICKER
Prater: Keeper. All pro caliber.
DE
McBean: Bubble. Average player at best.
Smith: Bubble. Great size, but …
Peterson: Keeper. Not spectacular, but better than average.
Holiday: Bubble. Excellent role player, but old.
NT
Fields: Bubble. Average at best. Undersized.
Thomas: Bubble. Major Shanny pick dissapoinment.
Baker: Bubble
OLB
Haggan: Keeper. Pleasant surprise FA.
Reid: Bubble.
Dumerville; Keeper. All pro.
Ayers: Keeper. Not a great first year, but imprioved as the season went on.
Moss: Gone. Major Shanny bust.
ILB
Davis: Keeper
Larsen: Keeper. Excellent ST. McD needs to decider if he’s ILB of FB.
Williams; Keeper. All pro potential. Too much free lancing??
Woodyard: Bubble. Tailed off from first year.
CB
Goodman: Keeper
Law: Cut. Old
Bailey: Keeper, but aging.
Smith: Bubble. Disappointing first year, but great to hear him admit it and commit to getting better.
S
Hill: Keeper.
Bruton: Keeper. Future top notch starter.
Barrett: Keeper. Future starter.
Dawkins: Keeper as long as he wants to play.
Fox: Cut
I’m sure that there are IR player I’ve missed. I went with the current depth chart.
I do not know what or who we will or should be going out to get in FA but the one thing that stood out to me was the high play of Andre Davis early in the season at stuffing the run from the MLB position, I was not impressed with the play of D.J. yet again for the third year in a row he can not be a MLB in a large 3-4 scheme he needs tobe moved to teh outside and we need to draft a MLB next to Davis who can be a force in the middle with him and take some of the pressure off of Davis to do it all at the position. Let D.J. and Doom loose on the outside and unlike Haggan D.J.’s cover skills are more than good for the TE. D.J. is a beast off the edge and getting blocked by a back or Te but anything other than that he gets romped. He just does not have the strength to play MLB at all he gets blocked and pushed around by those big ol guards.
Baylin
Understand we need a smash runner…But IMO, i doubt we draft one or should i say draft one high (2RBs in 2 years after Defense is known to need help) I would rather we utilize what we have or bring someone in….plus the only reason he used Moreno wasn’t only Because McD didn’t like Hillis (A shanny guy) but because he Drafted Moreno first and if he wasn’t running every down or close to it….McD would look wrong and would have to admit a mistake which he hates to do (which I believe should be classified as putting yourself above the team)
….The fast RB or Jacoby Ford WR (in my PS) is mainly for KR (to help Royal) but if we could bring a really fast RB to change up the pace hoping for a home run….why not. While Moreno isn’t smash….He sure aint Dash as u stated as well….he is balanced I guess we could say. Grinding it effective in its way, but teams without homerun plays/clean up hitters find it even more difficult….just my opinion….
And as far as Jordan goes, he is just taking up space because he is a McD guy, you would think even if he was brought on as a McD guy, when the power O started to suffer he would be put in once or twice….Nope….just taking space and not contributing cuz he is mediocre at best…..
We don’t have to draft high for a power back, we can look first in FA at Ronnie Brown, LenDale White or even Mike Bell, as for the draft, Tony Gerhart has opted for the draft and he is only rated 5th, or so, best RB in the draft, so you could get him probably with a third, that would be plenty worth it.
McBath will also be a keeper at safety, not to mention a great ST player (omitted on Oldsouthstander ‘s list).
And another option in the draft for power back would be Anthony Dixon, from Mississippi State, 6’1′, 235 lbs, good power back with very goods hands, will probably be available in the third or fourth also.
This is Mike Klis view on which Bronco jerseys to buy or not to buy for next year:
Elvis Dumervil’s No. 92 and Champ Bailey’s No. 24 aren’t going anywhere. I wouldn’t get a No. 15 or No. 88 jersey, though, unless you think they might become collector’s items someday. Marshall and Scheffler ain’t coming back.
It’s safe to buy a Kyle Orton No. 8 jersey, a Knowshon Moreno No. 27, a Jabar Gaffney No. 10, an Eddie Royal No. 19, and a Brian Dawkins No. 20. Not sure about a Brandon Stokley No. 14, Jarvis Moss No. 94, or Casey Wiegmann No. 62. I think Ben Hamilton will hand over No. 50 next year.
McBath. Exceptional ST player. Definite keeper. Forgot he was on IR.
I know this has nothing to do with the Broncos or Football for that matter, but if you all get a chance…..go see THE BOOK OF ELI. That was one of the best movies I have seen in a really long time. I just thought you all should see it as well.
Toby Gerhart would be SICK to have… He’s literally John Elway, just a different position…
Elway (best QB from Stanford)… Gerhart (best RB from Stanford)
Elway (wore #7 for football)… Gerhart (wore #7 for football)
Elway (wore #24 for baseball)… Gerhart (wore #24 for baseball)
He even said that Elway is his favorite player… if you couldn’t have guessed allready…
But anyways, just thought some of ya might get a kick outta’ that
wow, Ravens couldn’t even score a TD on the Colts. How blessed is Marshall to have set a receiving record on that stingy colts defense. and they knew marshall would be targeted most of the time. A BEAST!
Interesting article, Ed Reed is 50-50 on retiring early..wow, only at 31 and he was still making Ints in last nights game. makes you wonder how much of a warrior Dawkins is, so was Lynch. Lure him in for the Broncos…lol..
I saw this list on CBS sports website, dont know if its accurate, but it lists the top draft prospects and their potential time. Interesting I dont see Mclain in the top 50. and Cody is massive at 365lbs. Taylor Mays is big and fast, but we have our own form in Barrett, 6’3 and 230 lbs. and faster than Mays. I hope he gets his turn soon.
