Tell me this isn't happening.
The playoffs are supposed to be the most exciting time of the season in the NFL -- and really, in every sport.
But the way next weekend's divisional matchups have shaken out, the first go-round could be watching paint dry kind of fun.
Count them: Of the four games being played next week, three will feature repeat matchups from Week 17. New England's battle with Baltimore is the lone dissident from a scheduling loop.
The Jets will play the Bengals, the Cowboys the Eagles and the Packers the Cardinals (the winners were listed first).
The scores of each game were 37-0, 24-0 and 33-7.
Sure, Arizona and Cincinnati benched their respective starters early, so the outcomes could change next week to some degree.
Any Given Sunday.
At the same time, each of the winners so thoroughly pounded the losers it seems difficult to grasp that next week will produce varied results.
On top of that it's kind of bollocks that fans have to witness the same story and plot line.
Hopefully the ending is more climactic than four score differentials, even if the embarrassed cannot turn into the composed.
