Broncos played a great game against the Steelers but I feel there will be a repeat of the last time Patriots and Broncos played.
Go Pats!
Go Pats!

Would be interesting to see the Patriots in the Super Bowl after Pats fans seemed so negative about them all year.

Yeah I came across that he's been injury prone. Nice to get a better perspective from a fan. If he could stay healthy, would be a nice upgrade for us if we can't land one of the big 3 OT's in the draft. Not even sure I'm sold on Martin...
I always figured Cards would take Upshaw if we don't get one of those top 3 OT's and he looked pretty decent tonight.

I give Shannon a 3.5. Horrible form.
That's actually how Tebow does it, everyone else failed...

He doesn't slump his head to the side like he's taking a nap or has bad indigestion.
All the stuff with McDaniels to New England, as far as the Denver game, really doesn't matter b/c they have already played this year. The Pats know far more about what Denver is trying to do than McDaniels does.
But the thing is, the Rams played nearly every remaining playoff team. BAL, NE's likely opponent in the AFC Championship game. Then everyone in the NFC. SF x2, NYG in the phantom injury game, GB in the Rams best offensive game, and NO who they beat. So while the Rams suck and got crushed in most of those games, McDaniels did gameplan and then break down the film for those games, all in which the Rams supposedly used the NE offense.
In a game of inches, there's probably one or two in there for the Pats to benefit from. What's weird is that every other Rams coach has his contract expire in FEB, and the Rams technically still employ them. McDaniels asked to be released from his contract, even though he was the only assistant with a year left. But I'm sure the Rams would release any coach early if he requested, so conceivably, any team could take one of the Rams awful coaches and put him to use.

There were reports earlier that the Reliant Stadium roof was damaged... didn't hear anything later on in the day so I'm guessing it was false, but :jnc
Imagine if the Texans and Tebows win and we end up having to play at a neutral (unlikely) site, or better yet, in Denver. (or worse, Dallas)
Astros playing in Milwaukee vs the Cubs all over again in 2007.

Haha, same here. The guy doesn't even like football, so it was easy to give my shift up on Sunday. Huge plans that day, goddamn I'm excited.

The whole post was great...but this one sentence should go in some sort of archive or something, so the kids can read it and be inspired to reach similar heights of excellence.
let's look back at Eli's stats during his first few years in NYC when he was nearly run out of town. i forgot how lean those years were for Giants fans...
i remember him having flashes of good games, but his accuracy was bonkers and he'd regularly throw balls 2 feet above his receiver's head. things didn't click for him till the last few games of 2007, and we all know what happened that year.
since he won the Super Bowl MVP he became a completely different quarterback -
he started to hit receivers on the numbers instead of their helmets and became much more consistent, but until this year he was still prone to forcing throws when under pressure instead of throwing them away.
my point? maybe Tebow could actually morph into a consistently great starting quarterback. hell, if Eli managed to weather 3.5 years of a scathing NYC media and develop into a cherubic god, maybe Tebow could as well.

Terrible news about the death of GB offensive coordinator's son, Michael Philbin. 
Thoughts and prayers go out to family, friends and the entire Packers organisation/NFL.

Wonder how much Philbin being gone will affect the gameplanning this week.
How about a shoot out?

Both the QB's get 10 shots from the 20 yard line to throw on the post, whoever hits most wins the game.
The only way the Niners are going to the Superbowl is to watch Tebow win it against the Saints.
You are better off not playing him. His powers are growing. He might have killed half of the team in an Earthquake leading up to the game. On the brighter side Alex might become somewhat more of a man just being on the same field as our savior Tebow.
It makes as much sense as college football overtime. If we're going to completely change the rules, may as well make them as "exciting" as possible.
bionic, how does Tebow's ass taste?

Take comfort in knowing that you gave Tebow his one and only playoff win.
Tebow is not FMT and would never give another man that honor. He is saving himself for the right woman. It disgusts me that you even think of him that way.
Sconi degenerates...
Doing the Lord's work should make everyone happy. Not that YOU would know anything about it.
It was meant in a more "ha ha, you fucking lost to Tim fucking Tebow you fucking CLOWN" way than an actual you put your tongue into the anus of Tim Tebow and I would like to hear a description of the flavors you experienced.

It's clearly Matt Flynn's arm. The clouds are reacting to his throws in Green Bay like that shitty movie.

Oh fuck lol.
You can lie to me and rest of us but you can't lie to yourself. We both know what you really meant.

Steve Spagnuolo Expected to Join the Philadelphia Eagles by End of the Week:
"Spagnuolo, let go by the St. Louis Rams last week, is expected to be back in Philadelphia by the end of the week. The Eagles released a secondary coach over the weekend, so they have flexibility to move around the staff and bring Spagnuolo back as an assistant head coach, if not defensive coordinator.
If Andy Reid wants to retain embattled defensive coordinator Juan Castillo in some other capacity, that's a possibility as well, according to league sources. Spagnuolo is a disciple of former Eagles defensive guru Jim Johnson, and was much-liked during his eight-year stint on Andy Reid's staff.
Spagnuolo wanted to take time off last week, according to a league source, but expect his phone to start ringing quickly."

I don't see him going anywhere. How many opportunities do you get at a 52 years of age to have a year off with pay?

Who wants to work when you're earning money for doing nothing?
It's the same for most coaches who are fired, plenty go right back to work. You are only "hot" for so long. Eventually if you sit on your ass you're no longer the hot candidate and you have to go coach in college for a couple years to get the buzz back up. May as well do what you do.
Plus, these guys are at the top of their field. Sitting on their ass is not something they are accustomed to and certainly not something that got them where they are today.

NFL Coaches tend to have ridiculous work ethic. I doubt a year off with pay is as enticing as it would be to you or me.

He is getting $2 million from the Rams next year, I think the Eagles can top that and also promise him that he is next in line for HC if things dont work out for Ried next year.

:jnc. You wish.
Spagnuolo couldn't string together 11 wins in 3 years and you want the Eagles to promise him Head Coach over Reid?
