Yay, the good Giants played today!  Not going to lie, I thought we were going to have an awesome day of Eli Face after he got nailed for the safety. |

Yay, the good Giants played today! Not going to lie, I thought we were going to have an awesome day of Eli Face after he got nailed for the safety. I'm beginning to think the way you get a good performance out of the Giants is to threaten Coughlin's job. Also, Tebow showed up for the first half. At this point, I want the Steelers to lose as Ben looks so gimpy they're dead men walking. |

The Steelers were lucky to only be down 14 points at the half; Ben looked awful. No matter which team comes out of this game though the real winners are the Pats.

Just leak ridiculous "Coughlin to be fired" shit to the NYC press whenever they lose a game. Honestly though, if that Giants team shows up the rest of the playoffs? I mean, your three major WRs are healthy and performing, the running game is working fairly well, and the pass rush is putting pressure on the QB. It's the Giants, so next week Eli could throw 3 interceptions and Jacobs and Bradshaw will combine for 45 yards. |

Matt Ryan and the coaching staff played like chickenshits. The Giants had one of the worst pass defenses (despite a good pass rush) all season and Ryan was throwing mostly short passes.

Yeah Giants fans, I wouldn't put too much stock in beating the Falcons. I've said before they were awful, and they lived up to that.
That being said, I'd love for Eli to go to Lambeau and really drill the Packers just so I can stop hearing about repeat.

Yeah, Atlanta just stunk. I don't know how they every managed getting to the playoffs in the first place. That said, I wouldn't put it past the Giants to go in and beat the Packers. Tim Tebow beat the Steelers. I mean, I know there were a lot of other little Broncos out there that helped, but let's face it: Tim Tebow beat the Steelers. At first I was all , and then I was like  , but now I'm all  Underestimate him at your folly, I guess. |

I know! They so will!
Only, that's what we (humankind) were all saying about the Pittsburgh game.
Seriously, of course the Pats will stomp them. But I no longer believe it is a given. Bellichick better have his team ready to play, and not take their regular season victory for granted. I remember how flat the Pats came out in the playoffs last year. They do that again, they'll be ripe for the picking.

Denver is crap on the road, going to the coast after an OT game, against a team with a week off. I fully expect a 3 TD margin for the Pats.

I do too, really. Maybe even 4 touchdowns. But damn if I didn't think more or less the same thing yesterday.
At any rate, I think people in general have to lay off all the Tebow/Bronco bashing. Injuries notwithstanding, it is no joke to beat Pittsburgh in the playoffs (especially in the playoffs).

We all seriously underestimated the rapist's ankle injury. It was clearly impeding him in the first half. In the second half, as is his nature, he ignored the risks and played like he usually does. Tebow had finally given his team enough points to hold on, though.

Denver's record this year was 3-5 at home and 5-3 on the road. The last game versus the Patriots was lost on the mistakes the Broncos made. Early on, they dominated the Pats. That being said, I'm expecting a 41-27 loss. Because Brady > Tebow. |

Time to pray that the Packers defense that showed up for the Oakland game is the one that shows up for the Giants.

There's more to it than that. The Steelers defense gave up 316 yrds or so in the AIR to Tim Tebow of all fucking people. Roethlisberger may not have been able to extend plays and scramble all over the field, but the Steelers secondary played extraordinarily poorly - even Polamalu was fairly quiet all night. |

I would buy a Tebow jersey if this happened. And then start attending church wearing it. At least during the offseason- my trolling has limits. |

Right. Tebow finally performed like a decent NFL QB, althouth the slow mo on some of those passes made it clear his spirals leave much to be desired.

Age, injuries. Front 3 by end of 1st quarter were all 2nd-3rd string (3rd string NT), though DE Heyward is a 1st round pick and should play better than he has. Missing FS Ryan Clark, which did end up being a factor, as evidenced by big pass plays. Polamalu, who, outside of a few diving scrimmage plays this season, seems to be missing in action since being injured last season. Ike Taylor, ballyhooed this year as an outstanding corner was pwned by a Denver receiver I really wasn't familiar with until this game and he was dominated. But Tebow did make some nice throws, putting the ball exactly where it needed to be put. And Broncos were aided by Steeler half ending / game ending drive offensive snafus including a backup center that had problems snapping the ball when requested and delivering it on target. Plus, some poor clock management that's plagued Steeler 2 minute offense all season. |

Fuck's sake. TIM GODDAMN TEBOW BEAT THE STEELERS WITH LONG BOMBS. THE APOCALYPSE HAS TRULY BEGAN.
Seriously, though, good game on Tebow for taking what the Steelers were giving him and beating them about the head and neck with it. And shame on Dick Lebeau for not changing his game plan. When Tebow is beating you with long bombs constantly, it's time to keep two safeties back. After that second long pass in the 2nd quarter, there should have been no more of that shit, but apparently it's hard to figure that out or something. It was quite obvious that injuries were hampering the Steelers. The Rapist's ankle, no Rashard Mendenhall, no Ryan Clark and that was just the injuries before the game. The running game wasn't getting it done, and you could tell the Rapist just wasn't himself, which is why I had expected the Steelers to lose next week to New England. Who knew their pass defense would forget to show up.
The Falcons looked like shit. Oh and they just failed another 4th and 1. Seriously, how many times do you have to fuck that play up before you figure out what you're doing isn't working? I can't figure out what the fuck is wrong with Atlanta this year, they just aren't very good even at the things they are supposed to be good at. The Giants, meanwhile, didn't fuck up too badly (though looked bad in the first half) and their defense came to play.
The Saints and Lions game was lower scoring than I expected, but still a fun game to watch. Officiating on the whole was bad in every game, not just this one. What I expected to happen happened, the Lions lack of a running game combined with the Saints having 3 really good RB's made all the difference. Saints defense isn't that good, but when you can hang onto the ball in the 3rd and 4th quarters with a mix of runs and passes, you can win, especially when you never have to punt.
Houston's defensive line just DOMINATED Cincy. It wasn't even really that competitive. If Matt Schaub had been playing in that game, the Texans would have scored 40 points easy. Too bad the Ravens will pummel them next week.

It baffles me the Steelers didn't have two deep safeties on that play in OT given the new playoff overtime rules. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is Dick LeBeau forgot the new rules.

Or had little faith in Tebow being able to, ya know, throw the ball down field. I will say though, that was one hell of a stiff arm, and to the chest no less. |

Eh not really though. He was 10/21 and that is pretty glaring. |

Interesting. If I had been asked what I thought his completion % was, I would have guessed north of 70%.
