2011 NFL Thread: The Lazarus Season - Part 8

ESPN should have some crying contests if the Pats win

 

[SpideyInATree]

I think if the Pats win there are going to be a lot of people crying and making excuses. So far...looks like Jesus has left the building for Tebow.

At the Falcons game on Thursday, the half time show was a really crappy rock band, while Denver gets a monkey riding a dog? I feel so ripped.

I know. They showed it on the CBS Halftime show and I freakin' fell out of my chair laughing. That is some classic entertainment. Now if they had some half naked women dancing and shaking their booty's it would have been a completely halftime show! t:

 

[Donut]

I guess you know who is going to show up soon. Unless he really is busy with a Birthday Party

 

[bored]

Sorry everyone, I just need to get this out of my system: The Packers used to be undefeated, then they took an Arrowhead to the knee

 

[The Game]

Brady got wrecked

 

[Dr. Evil]

Peyton Manning called a good game today as offensive coordinator.

 

[Poeman]

Jets playing like hot garbage

 

[CConn]

It's a really impressive feat to not only make your own team look awful, but to also make the Eagles look great at the same time.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Yeah, the Jets are just getting destroyed. Tebow just scored another TD...is Jesus back in the house?

 

[NewYorkSpider]

That was a beautiful catch from Burress.

 

[SpideyInATree]

A beautiful catch that is too little too late.

Well, looks like the Tebow magic is over. Pats did exactly what you figured they would do to Denver. They just sacked Tebow for a loss of 29 yards. Jesus had other things to do this evening, with his birthday coming up and everything.

However, I'm sure the talk will still be going crazy. Even Phil Simms is "giving him props" because he threw the ball pretty well today. The Pats defense isn't exactly the greatest in the league, buddy.

I expected Tebow to do much better against such a poor pass D, I don't know why Nantz is giving him props

 

[TheDragonator]

Yay Pats!

*looks at score for Jets game*

Holy crap. And wasn't it about this time last year, give or take a few weeks, that they got their ass handed to them 45-3 by the pats?

 

[Donut]

The only thing that needs to happen now is the Jets not making the play offs. That would be great

 

[Ness]

Tom Brady is the devil, and the devil came to play.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

"Tebow answered alot of questions today. How many QBs could have done this well against The Patriots?"



Yes, Tim finally answered that he does not have what it takes to hang with the top-tier QBs in the league. Tebow, today, showed us why it is extremely important to have a QB on your team that can make short and long accurate passes for four entire quarters.

 

[SpideyInATree]

He did all right against the Pats but it was more the running game that did most of the damage. He made some decent passes but he's still very green out there as a QB and needs some more time to develop. He finally faced a solid football team, even though their D wasn't that great, and didn't bring his game.

He really showed his inexperience at the end when he lost 29 yards trying to make some kind of miracle play. Broncos did luck out that the Raiders lost today because their playoff hopes are still alive.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

That's the point however. Tebow's success is found in the running game, not in the passing. When you force Tebow to throw over 20 times in a game, it'll more than likely end ugly for The Broncos.

Keep in mind, the Patriots' defense is nowhere near elite.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Their D-line beat the crap out of him though. He took a lot of pretty brutal hits.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Oh yeah, no doubt. The line was disciplined (after the first quarter). They attacked anybody near the ball once it was snapped.

They might not be high-caliber defense, but they showed that it doesn't take one to stay in a game so long as you are within your lanes and wrap up your opponent.

 

[SpideyInATree]

And when you have a solid coach it's pretty easy to stop a one trick pony. t:

 

[DoomsdayApex]

True

My poor Chargers. No pass rush. This is going to be a long night.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Wow, big drive by Ravens and a missed field goal. Lets see what the Chargers offense can do against this Ravens D.
