    If only Tebow would just do a narcissistic, self-aggrandizing touchdown celebration he would be much more respectable and someone our children and grandchildren could look up to as a good role model. :rolleyes:

    Tim Tebow is famous for kneeling in prayer, and not infamous for sucking horribly at his job? AND the Lions are in the playoffs?? This has been a hell of a season.

    If anyone in the AFC can topple New England, it is likely the Ravens but....

    But nothing! Last time we saw the Pats was in New England during playoffs and we destroyed them. Now if we were playing the Sea Hawks or Jaguars I would be nervous :D

    Cant take anything away from Brady as a player, he is amazing (even if he is a cry baby) but he wont be putting up his usual 30+ points against the Ravens.

    I'll be honest, I was surprised that Denver got past the Steelers on Sunday, they came out strong but lost traction in the second half. Tebow's first pass in the OT was a bomb I wouldn't have thought he had in him but he did. I like the new rules on OT in the post-season, takes away that cheap single field goal kick for the win. This seems more fair by far. The Denver season will end in Foxboro I fear.

    I would rather they just set the clock for a ten minute OT, and be done with it. None of this the game is over unless a chicken is sacrificed on the third blue moon following a Tuesday.

    I like the new rules, and it has nothing to do with third blue moons on a following Tuesday. The way they read now is that the team that wins the toss chooses to kick or receive, if they receive and march down but can only score a field goal, the other team gets a chance. If they score a TD the game is over (as it was at Denver). The game isn't over on a simple kick in the post season OT play.

    Now the team that kicked the field goal has to kick to the other team, go on defense, and their opponents get a chance to score a TD (game over), or a re-tie with a field goal. Now, the next team to posses and march to ball to scoring position wins, the old "sudden death rule" using either a touch down or field goal. Much more fairness here.

    I too like the new OT rules. If I'm not mistaken, they have discussing changing the old sudden death rules for a little while now.

    As for the game, thank you Tebow! I only hate the Nazis more than the Steelers.

    NOW LETS GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!

    Going with Saints over 9er's, Pat's over Bronc's, Ravens over Texan's, and hoping Giants beat Packers....Don't really care who wins, just want to see some good ball.

    How exciting has the 9er's- Saints game been so far? With the crowd screaming...then Saints shut 'em up. Then Saints just let crowd back in with last interception.... 4 turnovers by Saints and 9er's only ahead by 3.. My pick is looking pretty good....Tonight's Bronc's Pat's game promises to be the most watched game in history? Hopefully it doesn't turn into a stinker.

    That was quite a game especially the finish! Think Poppy might have been disappointed with the pats game though!

    Oh it was nice to see Tim Tebow put in his place in the pecking order. His true QB colors SHINED through in the first half last night...2 less completions and TB had touchdowns. I can finally feel good about the NFL again.
