fecking hell, Tebow time did it again.

Excellent, delighted with that result and I'm very confident the Pats will be able to beat this team next week.
 
Despite our initial struggles with their running game in the regular season match, I'm confident we'll be able to stop Denver and Brady will put enough points up to get the win.

The NFC games are very interesting, I'm going to make the prediction that the Giants will beat the champs - but I'd love to see both NO and GB win their games.
 
316 yds and 2TD's from Tebow against the number 1 ranked defence, hats off to Tebow.
 
3 seconds from the restart to throw the pass and 10 seconds for them to get the TD.
 
Took longer to explain the OT rules than OT actually lasted... rofl.

Tebowmania still running wild, brotha~ !!
 
Unfair that the Steelers cannot get possession

It's long been a stupid rule, however, I could have sworn they changed the rules for postseason games in the last CBA. Even the commentator mentioned this would be the first non-sudden death in playoff history. I'm truly confused.
 
Tebow threw for 3:16 yards.

:D


watched most of the game but heard the last of regulation, and the 11 second ot, in the car. love it. love seeing the national pundits squirm in their chairs. i'm not religious...AT ALL...but i have a soft spot for den (born in colorado) and the picked-on underdog. i think it's ne next for them but i think that's where the journey ends den.

Each team will get the ball at least once unless a TD is scored OR the defending team scores. Its a bit of a half arsed attempt to right the wrong of one series wins by a FG in the sudden death OTs. What did we end up with, a one play sudden death. :lol:

I always liked the Elway Broncos. That loss to Washington in the Superbowl was a great first half of football to watch.

That's akin to the road team hitting a homerun in the top half of the 10th and the home team doesn't get a chance. Hamilton would have won the the WS in Game 6 if MLB had NFL rules. It's ridiculous.
 
Josh McDaniels has returned to the Pats and will take over from O'Brien as offensive coordinator next year. Good move as he seemed to work well with Brady and they appeared to get on well with each other.

i liked it the way it was but this isn't so bad. it just took away the first possession field goal type win. i happened to like the golden goal rule too. ;)

In football (aka soccer), hockey and basketball, both sides will touch the ball before a score, though it's possible the first possession could result in a score (far more so in basketball). So a golden goal is fine with me in football (soccer) and hockey. However, the NFL rule is atrocious and goes against the spirit of competition. My two cents worth.
 
Bah! Anything that gets a game over sooner is alright with me. The fecking regular time goes for 3 and a half hours FFS.
 
Meh. Play defense in OT, I say. Steelers have the best one in the NFL, right? Against a team led by someone that people said shouldn't even be an NFL quarterback.

Edit: Just realized all the home teams/high seeds one. Anyways bring on the Saints.
 
Some of Tebows passing was shocking but he pulls the big plays out of the bag when it matters.

He's always been good when he gets the time to wind up and unload - it's the short and intermediate stuff he usually sucks at.

But the Steelers cost themselves that game...fair enough daring Tebow to beat them, but their coverage was hopeless. You'd think after he burned them with 2-3 long passes, they'd start to provide a bit more help...nope not the Steelers.

I don't care about either team here, just pissed because Brady will get a walkover to another SuperBowl now :mad:

Elway pretending like he's happy......

That was quite tense. At least it didn't end with Tebow running for a touchdown.

Have fun against the Pats.
 
Will many here be watching LSU vs Alabama tonight?

Really fancy the tigers to come out on top again, I like Jefferson as a QB and they effectively have home advantage which is huge.

MrMarcello will be watching, he luvs him some SEC foooootball.

I actually think Bama will win the game. Their defense is sick and their offense started to click in the 2nd half of the season. Looking forward to watching some good old fashioned defense after some of the other Bowl games.
 
Hate the SEC and am far more an NFL fan than NCAA.

I didn't flip the game on until the 3rd quarter. It was on ESPN too. I suppose the networks don't think much of college football on Monday night these days. I wish they would go back to all major bowl games on the 31st/1st.
 
Decker out for Denver and they also lost their long snapper (a very important part of the kicking game and not easy to replace). Get in those potential excuses for Tebow, err the Broncos losing this weekend.
 
Don't know - the Packers seem to give up a lot of points...

I'm praying for my Niners to do a defensive number on the Saints...although think we will need to play mistake-free football to pick up a W.

Although this article does raise my hopes!!

Bill Barnwell breaks down Saturday's New Orleans Saints-San Francisco 49ers playoff matchup - Grantland

Yeah the Grantland article sums it up pretty well. Essentially both teams have every right to be scared of the other. Anyone from either side talking trash and predicting a blowout is being a bit too much of a homer IMO.
 
Does anyone else think Tebow is the 'false prophet' that we were warned about in the lastest season of Dexter?

Anyway, I'm going for the Saints, Pats, Giants & Ravens to win their games.
 
I’m excited about today’s games and seeing how it turns out.

I did not enjoy the Jets game last year, both the build up and the actual game/result.
 
I still don't see the hoopla in Tebow. With all the press he's getting you'd think he's in the top 3-5 players in his sport, which he's not even in the top 25. FFS, Quincy Carter went 10-6 with a woeful Cowboys team in 2003 and Trent Dilfer won a Super Bow Bowl. Too much ado about nothing. Vince Young never got this type of press or fan love despite winning a high rate of games for the Titans in an unconventional way. Come one Pats - end this crap today.
 
Have to admit he won me over a little with some of the throws he made last week. His completion percentage is still low by today’s standards but he made throws I did not expect to see against the Steelers defense. I suppose you can question the game winning touchdown and the call LeBeau made to have no safety in the middle of the field but others were impressive too. The best example probably being Royal’s TD against what looked like Cover 3, not certain. He looked off one of the safeties and stuck it in there.
