2011 NFL Thread: The Lazarus Season - Part 8

[DoomsdayApex]

Hell yeah. I've never been a fan of Brady and Belichick, but I want them to light up the Broncos today.

Definitely. This will be the one day that I root for Brady and the Pats.

Please, guys, kill the Tebow craze.

 

[Matt]

The Broncos have been winning by playing mediocre offenses against their very good defense. They keep Tebow in the game, whose ability to run wears down defenses and then he makes one good drive to win a low scoring game.

The Patriots offense is not mediocre. It is very good. It will blow the game wide open and can maintain extended drives, keeping the Pats defense off of the field and Denver's defense on the field. The Patriots will tear them apart.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, definitely. I'm hoping Gronk gets 3 TDs or so today. Even great defenses like the Steelers have trouble with him, so he should plow through Denver's defense.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Why did I tune into Sportscenter? Why?

I am usually impartial to the Tebow love but listening to ESPN this morning talking about Tebow being better than Cam Netwon because Tebow has "comeback wins in the fourth quarter and Newton doesn't," was disgusting. I call so much bull **** on that. Tebow has "come from behind wins," in 10 to 7 games. ESPN makes it seem like he is putting up 27 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Ugh.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Agreed Matt. ESPN, at this point, is a propaganda piece of 'literature'. Just minutes ago, ESPN created a montage of the top 10 comebacks in NFL history, and it featured Tom Brady, John Elway... and Tim Tebow.

Clearly Cam Newton, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, etc are not as skilled as Tebow at QB.

 

[Kane52630]

It's not just ESPN, CBS, NBC, FOX, and NFL Network does this as well. Right now the CBS pre-game show is praising Tebow. It's sickening.

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

Man, I'm one of the people who wish for Tebow to succeed because he seems like a genuinely good guy, but even I can't take any more of this "Tebowmania". For ****'s sake the Packers are 13-0 and getting no coverage at all.

CBS didn't praise him. They just interviewed him and Sharpe and Boomer basically still pointed out the giant flaws he had. Then Cowher, being the coaching messiah he is, said Tebow does everything to the left. He expects Pats to do a lot of blitzing to the left to make Tebow roll out to the right and make more mistakes.

Oh, and did anybody else watch Saturday Night Live last night? The last skit of the night had a freakin' HILARIOUS one on Tebow where they were in the locker room after the win against the Bears and then Jesus walks in and tells the Broncos to step it up because he's tired of bailing them out, etc. Then said that Tebow should be praying to Matt Prater instead of him. Hilarious sketch.

I want Packers to lose...

Moore is a bad ass...active today with neck spasms.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I don't want the Packers to lose but I think they are bound to lose at some point and for their sake they better do it in the regular season.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

True Kane, but ESPN just spent (from what I can estimate) about an hour of their pre-game show to Tim Tebow.

It's just non-stop praising. It feels like a damn cult, and those who try to use logic in explaining why Tebow is having success are basically ousted and/or criticized.

 

[Rowsdower!]

LOL, that is awesome. I haven't watched SNL in a long time but I'll have to look for that sketch online.

I did.

I loved the ending. Jesus told the Broncos that he would be too busy today to bail them out.

Yep. The Packers, Newton's record-breaking rookie season, the 49ers and Texans making it to the playoffs, etc are all ignored.

And that Belichek worked with the Devil.

 

[enterthemadness]

So I read Moore got sacked....got that game recording. I like Moore's guys to play--but his O-Line...coming back from a concussion & neck spasms....probably should sit out.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

And that Belichek worked with the Devil.

I rarely laugh at SNL's skits nowadays, but I almost peed myself this morning when I watched the scene. My ribs still hurt.

Belichek was the cherry on top. Classic stuff.

I think you should start a separate thread so you can talk with yourself about Matt Moore and all of the irrelevant games week-to-week.

 

[Boom]

I love how wasted AJ Green is with the Bengals. He makes great plays to get us into the redzone, and we never capitalize with touchdowns.

Seriously, I cannot remember the last time the Bengals scored a TD in the redzone. Their playcalling inside the five is pathetic.

 

[Venom'sDad]

I love snowy football games

 

[enterthemadness]

Ok that Tebow/SNL rocked.

 

[Donut]

I wonder if this Dolphins game will say. Hey were going to lose on purpose due to how Tony was treated

They went to him twice in the end zone and he caught the passes but he was out of bounds both times. I guess you can blame that on Dalton for throwing it too far or Green for not knowing to plant his feet in bounds.

Bengals defense needs to tighten up though because the Rams offense is working them, and they're making James Harrison-like mistakes.
