Tim Tebow just wins games! :lmfao:
One of the greatest college players ever turns out not to be a total washout in the NFL like the analysts predicted? Shocking!
Yeah, I don't get the Tebow hate.
They ran the option quite a bit in that game. Both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow are terrible QBs. At least Tebow can run though.
Also, that was a hilariously stupid defensive playcall on the Tebow TD run.
Do you mean in general or on Languish? Because in the second case it's all the Jesus stuff. :P

IIRC Tebow completed two passes.
If I were the DC facing Tebow I would put 10 in the box and have one safety guard two wideouts.

That was last week.
This week he went 9-20 for 104 yards.
But he drove them done the field 95 yards and ran in a 20 yard touchdown. Ended up with 68 on the ground.
He's averaging over 6 yards a run.
I think he'd make a great fullback, but he's not QB material.

No kidding. I mean, here's a clean cut all-American kid, doing nothing but talking about his faith and the concept of team. What does he do after winning the Heisman and the National Championship? He's not hanging around sexually assaulting chicks, carrying guns into nightclubs but goes to Africa for months of missionary work, shooing flies off eyelids and shit.
The league better get on board with this kid, because he's exactly what it needs.
And Timmay, you better not get anywhere near my Tebow Wagon, or I swear to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior I'm going to shove so many chemo bags up your ass you'll glow more than fucking Chernobyl. You fucking ass fuck.
Tebow is awesome, I told ya.
Why dont you faggots all go have a tebow orgy or something. :yuk:
He just looks so weird when he's throwing that ball. Also, his Christianity has been fetishized by dangerous religious right elements. Also, he plays for Denver, who is still under the curse of Jake Plummer.
I could live with any one of those, and maybe any two, but all three?

The vast majority of players in the league are not about sexually assaulting chicks and taking guns to night clubs. As for going to Africa for months for missionary work to convert people to his wacky religion...Colt McCoy did that shit to and I don't see your SEC bandwagon ass getting all excited about him.

For the Denver-Cincy game the Broncos had run out of receivers, so they changed facemasks on his helmet and put him in as a receiver-- for one play. It succeeded in causing a little momentary confusion for the Bengals defensive coaches.
FWIW, the Tebow haters have succeeded in pushing me from somewhat anti-Tebow to pro-Tebow. I hope he continues finding ways to win, despite really bad passing stats.

Meh just ignore the haters. I mean he is the QB for the Denver Broncos why should you even care? Do you have strong feelings about the KC Chiefs QB? I just wish sanity would prevail in this issue. I mean if Tebow works our great for him...but why is it such a big deal? Everybody acts like he is the only Christian in the league, that he is the only former College star in the league. I do not get it.
Having said that I wish the Redskins had him. Heck I wish they would get any QB under 30 with even an ounce of dynamism.
I do. Cassell was a Patriot, and thus evil.
I don't love Jesus but I sure love Tim Tebow.
Tim Tebow, he's my savior.
Hell, I'm going to make that a T-Shirt.

:mellow:
I agree he seems like a decent guy but so I far I have seen no evidence that he can play QB competently at the NFL level. He clearly is trying to improve and I wish him all the luck in world, but it isn't hate to point out the obvious fact that as of right now, he is below level of acceptable competence as a passer for an NFL QB.
Meanwhile the Broncos also have another seemingly decent young man of their team, who happened to systematically wreak havoc on the Jets offense last night, a feat obscured by the obsessive media focus on Tebow.

My best friend lives in Denver, so he had been filling me in on all the Tebow-worshiping silliness before the season started & it was something we joked about. I hadn't really heard a whole lot of the hatred until he had his first start, and it puzzles me. Also puzzles me how his supporters are being tagged as religious nutjobs, while at least in Denver they're pretty much like Grey Fox.

When he played for The Cardinal he had the program that Bill Walsh built around him. The Broncos had him as first round draft pick suggesting a less than stellar team around him.
IIRC Elway was taken #1 overall by the Patriots, and he refused to sign because they sucked so fiercely.
Which is not to deny that Denver sucked at the time, they probably did, but it is kind of ironic.

Wrong on both counts. Elway was the #1 overall pick of the Colts (who did suck massively at the time) and was resistant to signing with them--he and his agent had told them not to pick him, because he wouldn't sign with them. The Colts' GM (I forget who it was at the time, might have been Jim Irsay, but IIRC it wasn't) and the coach, Frank Kush, thought that they had just about pursuaded Elway to sign, but Bob Irsay, the owner at the time (and Jim's dad) stepped in and traded the right to Elway to Denver. The Broncos weren't a terrible team--at worst they were mediocre--but they needed a quarterback.
As for Tebow, I tend to agree with Minsky in that he can't perform at an acceptable level as a QB in a standard NFL-type offense at this point. I'm not sure if he can get to that level with more experience or not. To be honest, though, I'd kind of like to see Tebow and the Broncos succeed with a non-standard type offense, not because I'm a fan of Tebow or the Broncos, but just to see if it could be done. I've always thought that it could be, if a team had the QB to do it and committed to it.

If he had signed with Baltimore, he'd have put asses in seats and won games, and the Colts would still be here. I blame him personally, and he will find himself in the first circle of Hell, along with Irsay and Tagliabue.

Minksy's a Jew, and thus hates demonstrative Christians. It deeply affects his allegiance to the Jets, which is dictated by Mosaic law for all New York Jews to root for. It's in Deuteronomy somewhere, near the part about cud-chewing animals.

Ray Lewis out. 57 consecutive starts.
And with the quick turnaround for Thanksgiving, he'll probably be out against the Niners as well.
Yeah. That hurts.
Still, I have a good feeling about this game. Mind you, I guess it depends on how the Ravens feel about the Bengals. If the Ravens think that the Bengals are worthy, they'll destroy them. If the Ravens think that the Bengals are in the same class as Jacksonville or Seattle, this could get scary.

Yeah he does. Keeps under throwing it. To be fair, he should have +1 completions for +50 yards though, or whatever that was. A penalty that happened after the play was over offsetting a penalty that happened while it was "live" seems very strange and....wrong...to me.
I missed that stat though. Must be because his first three years were pretty awful QBR-wise. The last two in Tennessee weren't though. He was right around 100 in I think ten games the last season there. Too bad he played for Tennessee, and so fuck him

That seems like a pretty misleading stat. He did have pretty bad numbers his first two years (still won most of the games though). He has been pretty decent since then though: 60% completion percentage 22 TDs and 13 Ints. I would take that for the Redskins God knows.
Meh maybe it is just rust, it is his first start in a year or so. STill ahead 10-3 we will see how he does in the second half.

Yeah that was a new thing for NCAA football this year. Celebrating can nullify a TD and all that. I didn't think the NFL changed it, but maybe I'm wrong? Or maybe it has always been like that, although I don't think I've ever seen it called like that.
So the two power players on the Eagles are Samuel and Jackson. Samuel... Jackson. Coincidence? :hmm:

To do that, one of them would need to win both their remaining games, one of you, the Jailbirdz, and the Rapistburgers needs to lose both your remaining games, and the one of them needs to win the tiebreaker.

In terms of points scored, I think only the Rapistburgers can get caught. Cincy has a 100-point cushion on the tiebreaker, and only two games left to make that up. And the Danes are done with Vick out. And the Rapists have a very easy last two games.

The Wetbacks have a pretty soft remaining schedule, too. There is certainly upset potential there. As for GF, as long as he fields a team for the next two weeks he's in the playoffs.

For sure, but all the Rapists have to do is win one game against the worst team in the league or against the Vick-less Danes. I think we can lock this up right now.

God damn it, I lose again, 7-4. I'm on the verge of missing the playoffs :(
You made it close, which is more than I can say in most of my seven straight wins.
I would have won if only I had trusted Joe Mcknight instead of picking a RB that plays with Tim Tebow.
:bleeding:
No, you would still have lost by 3. You would have won if you had played the Detroit TE rather than the guy who dropped all those passes in New York.
:lol: That too.
Damn, I had really bad choices.
Only in retrospect.

Looking forward to Niners vs Ravens.
I'm not.
I am. Should be a good old fashioned bareknuckled defensive brawl. The first ever Harbaugh Bowl may disappoint casual NFL fans who are dazzled by high-scoring games. Plus the Ravens might lose and marginally help the Bengals' long shot at winning the division.
edit: Now if the Ravens win, I hope they plow through their following 4 opponents & clinch home-field throughout, so that they won't have anything to play for in Week 17 ;)

Whew.
And Dalton? The kid is a fucking JDAM.
His GPS got screwed up on 3 plays, but yeah he threaded the needle at other times. Hopefully he'll learn to read coverage better next year & his INTs will go down. Bengals receivers did a good job yesterday, but AJ Green might've been a decisive difference had he played.
Ravens D-line showed up the Bengals pass-blocking yesterday in a big way at the end of the game. They can block fine when Dalton does his usual 3-step drop because those are usually quick-release plays. But in situations where he has to do a 5-step drop, they're pretty awful. I don't care whose defense it is, if they only send 3 men from a 4-man defensive front, there's no excuse for allowing a sack.
And the NFL rule that negated the Gresham TD sucks balls.
At least they call it consistently though.

Longhorn fans are such faggits.
Why the Texas hate?
They brought us Colt Mccoy er Chris Simms er Vince Young er Limas Sweed er Ricky Williams...
Without Texas many GMs and Coaches might still have their jobs! ;)

*yawn* That is pretty lame.
Casey Hampton worked out pretty well for you Steelheads why are you bitching?
Grey Fox, you need to stop bitching about LFFL results. I've had the worst luck of anyone this year. Look at my points against. Shit is insane. I've been a top 2 or 3 team many weeks and ended up with a loss. I've scored more points than you by a decent margin and have 2 wins so far. :bleeding:
I was so busy fixing my computer I forget to switch out my guys on bye. <_<
Looking at it though I would have only been able to replace one of them and still would have lost.

:punk:
Oh hey it's Tyler Palko. I didn't know he's a lefty.
:hmm: Speaking of lefties, the Texans are going to look weird with all the bootlegs going to the other side of the field. It'll also be like watching the bootlegs at 1.5x speed, since Schaub is so slow.
4th and 1 on the 35 yard line, and you don't go for it?
The Patriots have won the game. Cowardly coaching rarely wins out.

He followed that up with an onside kick. Maybe he's just crazy? :hmm:
:blink: Tyler Palko: kind of badass?
Oo he just got smashed on that play though. He doesn't seem to mind slinging it downfield at all.
Yeah you know the holidays are here when the damn Lexus commercials with people leasing cars for their significant other start showing up.
Yeah. Still, at least they displace that jerkass trying to tell me how powerful E-trade is.

No, I mean the mean the guy walking around in front of a giant scoreboard.
I'm neutral on the baby. At first, I thought they were funny, but constant repetition on any channel that they think that stupid middle-class men who might be conned out of their money in the stock market might be watching has not made my heart grow fonder.
Gronk is an unstoppable beast!

Yeah, like three years ago or whenever they started with the baby puking on himself, it got a "heh" from me. I've gotten to the point where I just can't stand them now. Not quite to the going out to punch babies point, but ugh
These KC kick and punt returns made me wonder: Whatever happened to Dante Hall? THE HUMAN JOYSTICK!1! Seems like he was there one year, running every other punt back for a TD, then he was just gone.

His glory days were the mid-2000s, so he's pretty old for a guy whose main weapon was his speed. I'm sure he's been out of football for a while. You know how it is with those guys. In a few years, we'll be asking ourselves what happened to Devin Hester. When they slow down, they disappear.

Of the 3 INTS, I'd say the one to Jimmy Smith square on the numbers was the only was that was truly Dalton's fault. Of the couple Bengals games I've seen, Dalton has been more than a pleasant surprise and will probably do better career-wise than the other QBs that were drafted ahead of him with the possible exception of Cam Newton, who is also the real deal. And a Big XII quarterback. Who knew?
I was surprised that the Ravens generated a successful pass late in the game with 3 rushers, since they can't really do dick with 4. Just showed that Dalton was seeing things in the secondary he couldn't do anything with.
And yeah, the Gresham TD was it-picking by the refs, but like Neil said, at least they're nitpicking consistently.
As far as I'm concerned, that was league karma for the Santonio Holmes the-ball-didn't-cross-the-plane-but-his-feet-did-so-it's-a-touchdown call from a couple years ago.

Ravens can't handle success, it's not in their mental make-up. Which is why they'll play themselves out of a chance at home-field advantage, go on the road, and lose in Pittsburgh come January.
Week 17 should be a split. Bengals know they can hang with the big boys after the last two weeks, missing them both by *this* much, and they won't let it happen again at home.

Well, Denver was trying to trade Orton before the season started, so I guess it's not too surprising.
It's not like he was going to lead them to the Super Bowl or something.
