American Football (NFL, College, etc.)

Slow starts are becoming a habit for the Pats. :sweat:

:bleh: I was hoping the Giants would choke like the Jets. But I should know better than relying on Romo to win a big game. :beaten:

I'll root for any team playing the Cowboys... Even the Raiders. :beaten:

Texans beat the Bengals, 31-10.

Saints beat the Lions, 45-28. :(

Giants shut down the Falcons, 24-2.

Broncos upset the Steelers, 29-23. :shocked:

Another week's worth of Tebow worship. :bleh:

I thought the Steelers would own Tebow. Well, I still think they would have if Ben didn't have a bum ankle. And how are you the division champion at 8-8 and get home field advantage?

Can he do it again against the Pats?

I just ran across this:

Tebow fans note that the 316 yards might signify Bible verse John 3:16.

You answered your own question. The division winner always has home field over a wild card team regardless of record. If the Steelers had won their division, they'd have been at home, but they lost the tie-breaker with Baltimore when they got beat twice by the Ravens.

I don't think a healthy Ben would have made a difference. Any team that gives up 29 points in a playoff game is probably going to lose. For a guy that can't pass (according to the experts) Tebow made some pretty good throws, especially in that 2nd quarter.

One other thing about Tebow. I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but it's nice to see a professsional athlete that believes in something and stands up for his beliefs. Most pro athletes nowadays think deciding what kind of rims to get for their Escalade is making a political statement. :shakehead:

I agree with G-mark: Any defense that gives up 29 points usually loses...

And wasn't the Steeler defense the top rated defense in the NFL this year?

All the more embarrassing.

Oh brother. :doh: :shakehead:

That's what makes me sick about his fans, more than him: This divine intervention crap. :bleh:

Totally forgot that there was a BCS Championship game last night... The fact that it was only on cable didn't help, either.

'Bama beat LSU, 21-0.

The Alabama defense was all over LSU, but it wasn't a good game at all. :sweat:

Lots of field goals and one TD... Not sorry I missed it.

The best day to be a 49ers fan in about 17 years. What a game and a win over the saints. :dancing:

The last couple of minutes in the game had to have been one of the most exciting in recent history... More so, since the Niners won, 36-32.

Patriots blow out the Broncos and Tim Tebow, 45-10... And the game wasn't even that close.

Agreed. Those last few minutes of the game had me on the jumping and yelling. So exciting to see and I'm glad the 49ers came out with the win.

Yup.

My brother and I jumped out of our seats numerous times in those final minutes. :woot:

Ravens beat the Texans 20-13.

Giants upset the Packers, 37-20... Packers weak defense got exposed big time and four turnovers killed them.

After a great day of football yesterday, today was crap. :(

Another post season meeting with the Ravens. As long as the Pats can get the quick start. :fingerscrossed:

The refs in that game were terrible. :sweat:

Yeah, a number of crappy calls... Though I doubt it would've made a whole lot of difference, since the Pack got outplayed on both sides of the ball.

Between the Giants and the Packers, I'm more worried about the Giants even though it's a home game.

Giants do seem to be peaking at the right time, but after Saturday's game, Niners have some momentum of their own. :victory:
