Are you willing to admit you were wrong about TT yet? :-)

No chance. His winning streak is more down to Denver's defense than anything else - he's just plain awful to watch.

***Sylar*** · 12-12-2011 02:03 AM

Didn't see us today (again), but caught the score driving back down to San Francisco and pleased we managed to get a win in what could have been a stumbling stone.

Fiery exchange between Bill O'Neill and Brady on the sidelines apparently, but it's high pressure time of the year, so not a shock that patience is wearing thin.

It's frustrating - I've been in the US since last Friday and both days there've been football, I've missed it due to one reason or another (symposium at Berekely last Sunday and coming back from a weekend in the Redwood Forest/Pacific Coast today)!

Unbelievable

:

six straight wins for the Tebow-led Broncos, three OT wins.

Huge "W" for the Giants, timeout called by Couglin to freeze the kicker was perfect! Division is ours to lose now

Tebow is shocking. People will wise up very quickly to how to stop him and make him throw - which he cant do.

The two most important attributes in a QB are a) the ability to take your teammates into battle for you (leadership) and b) the desire to get the win. Thats what Tebow seems to have. Throwing the prettiest spiral doesnt substitute for not winning , just ask Dan Marino. Jim Mcmahon threw an ugly ball but he won the superbowl ring that eluded Marino.

He's had 8 starts this season and yet no-one has worked anything out to stop him yet. Surely defensive co-ordinators must have enough material from college and NFL games to work on and work out how to stop him by now? I think the last two games have shown defences planning for Tebow and yet in both games he has come out and managed to get it done through passing and not running.

Tebow finishes with a W!

That said, I can't see their winning run continuing against the Patriots.

Not just the last two games...watch MLB Harris in this 95 yard game winning drive against the Jets. Theyre all keying on him but they cant stop him. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8KR638W3tRc&v=8KR 638W3tRc&gl=GB

Great performance from Lynch and Seattle last night. Probably the leagues best back on form at the moment. Wild card still a possibility with a straightforward final 3 games.

Don't have ESPN so never saw the match but have just watched the highlights and it looked good. Still think the wildcard is beyond them but the recent form is a lot more promising.

**HibsMax** · 13-12-2011 05:30 PM

My highlight of the week. :D

Some cracking results for us this weekend with Tennessee, Oakland and Cincinatti all losing.

We've lost Leonard though and although he's not the best, it's a massive loss for us. We have 3 very hard games to go and maybe, just maybe 2 wins will see us sneak it, if results go our way.

He doesnt have to throw a pretty spiral, he has to complete and he certainly cant from what I have seen of him.

Sure he can drive a team but I thought the bears coped with him quite well, if they had a better O then they would have won IMO.

Tebow has won how many games in OT? If he is so good, surely he would win games BEFORE having to settle for a field goal in OT.

Falcons trounce Jacksonville last night and take a step closer to securing their berths in the playoffs:

Jacksonville 14-41 Atlanta

Big weekend coming up - a win in Mile High secures us our 9th AFC East Championship in 11 years, which is an astonishing achievement. I recall how excited I was when we FINALLY won our first since I'd started following the Pats, way back in 2001!

Our record against Denver is abysmal though, so I can't say I'm 100% confident - I'm pretty sure we've only beaten the Bronco's twice in something ridiculous like 18 games since 1969 and I'm fairly confident that Brady has only beaten them once in 7?

If we fail to win, a Pittsburgh win vs Sexy Rexy's Jets will suffice

Can't happen, keep dreaming mate.

We're playing the Eagles

Hah! I just had a quick glance earlier and thought it was PIT

Go easy on us please.

**Gatecrasher** · 18-12-2011 08:05 PM

Aw well KC beat the Pack, to be honest the Defense has been bad all season and now that the Offense had a off day the D didnt step up.

I don't think it's a bad thing to be honest - I still expect Green Bay to feature in the Superbowl this year and losing now prevents the added pressures of "unbeaten" discussions.

We're about to get underway in Denver - hoping we can both end our appalling record against them and stop the Tebow Train, winning the AFC East in the process.

Indianapolis finally get a win - how bad must Tennessee be!!!

Maybe your right, but it shows GB aint as untouchable as previously thought. The Offensive line was a disaster today. I'm looking forward to Pats v Broncos

***Sylar*** · 18-12-2011 08:40 PM

This is proving to be a shootout thus far, with Denver leading 13-7, with all 3 drives resulting in a TD thus far, though Denver missed their extra point attempt on their opening drive.

We're getting owned by both the rush AND the pass, with several tackles being high!!!

Tebow driving the Broncos well thus far

***Sylar*** · 18-12-2011 08:52 PM

I fear a long night ahead.

Our defense is easily one of the worst I've ever seen in the NFL

***Sylar*** · 18-12-2011 09:05 PM

Wow - 248 yards total offensive yards for the Broncos in the 1st QUARTER!

I fail to understand how our coaching staff have failed to address our defense all bloody season.

If we finally tie up our berth, I can't confess that I'm overly looking forward to the post-season.

**NOLA** · 18-12-2011 09:12 PM

Packers lose to the Chiefs and Colts beat the Titans

oh and Tebow has showed up early in the game v the pats , what a strange day so far

**Gatecrasher** · 18-12-2011 09:14 PM

It's a cracking game to watch though, I think new Orleans are a good super bowl shout, drew brees is hitting top form

***Sylar*** · 18-12-2011 09:23 PM

We can score on every drive for the remainder of this game, but unless we sort out the other side of the field, we'll lose.

Latest:

New England 14-16 Denver
Detroit 7-14 Oakland
NY Jets 0-28 Philadelphia -

Cleveland 10-0 Arizona
