If there is a theme to these playoffs, it's the poor play of the quarterbacks. Peyton Manning has thrown five picks in two wins. Trent Green, Eli Manning, and Tony Romo didn't impress. Even Jeff Garcia and Matt Hasselbeck struggled in wins.

The theme is continuing in the first 15 minutes of the Saints-Eagles game. Garcia has nearly been picked off on every other pass. Drew Brees is 5-for-11, with one pass going straight into the ground.

The Eagles should feel good they are only down 6-0 early. Aaron Stecker dropped a possible score and the Saints are running well. If they can put up some points here, they will have withstood the initial emotional surge from the home crowd.
