Before the Game Big Ben pulled a Tebow and got down on his knee to pray... And the lights went out.

I wondered if he was praying for the Three girls he raped.

GO Niners... Hurt that rapist bastard.

Gonna be interesting tonight. I figure the Steelers gotta score first and fast. If the 9rs pound it on the ground, at home, they win.

Too many turnovers for Denver in their own red zone told the tale. Denver took an interesting tack against the Patriots in the first quarter...beating them at their own game. But the three turnovers became three scores for New England, and this Bronco team needs at least three things to beat any opponent: Few or no mistakes, solid defense, and keep the came close. Against the Patriots they didn't do any of them.

"Can Brady beat Tebow on a day like this?"

There was never any question. If the Pats can stay healty(er), I shall be a happy camper.

As for the Packers, I didn't get the game on my TV but... WTF?

The problem with Dallas is Jerry Jones, who among other things feed of the publicity of Tony Romo dating Jessica Simpson rather than doing everything possible to get the team to the playoffs. There is no respect there for the coach because Jerry interferes. They are not getting the best personnel because Jerry interferes. If Jerry hadn't wanted coaching and (team) managing credit instead of just owning and executive credit, They probably would have had a few more championships under Johnson who would have passed the team to a well mentored management team when he eventually retired.

The best ownership in sports are in Pittsburgh (Steelers) and Green Bay. I like to call them the Anti-Jerrys.

The cowboys problem is Tony Romo who can heal his own puntured lung in two days but can't seem to play a consistant game. Mabey Tebow could pray for him.

Re the stats, IF the Pats can heal in the secondary they may be able to keep those stats up.

Didjas see The Gronk drag those guys and break tackles after the catch.. um... early in the 1st (I think). Gotta be one of top plays of the week. Of course, I suppose it's "no surprise".

Look at these stats. All the Pats have to do is play their usual game and minimize the turnovers.

Hey my Panthers have two great tight ends in Olsen and Shockey. Gronkowski is good. But it doesn't hurt him to be in a Brady offense. That is why he is having a record breaking rookie year.

I agree, JtS. 6'6" and 270 pounds and he runs like a deer... The Gronk is an amazing weapon. And Welker... well fuck me! Shades of Rice in a small package, which can be an advatage at times. Brady has the resume. And then Wilfork and... but, the Packers? the Saints? the??? Well, I just dunno. It'll be interseting.

Troubles in the secondary or not, I think they are more than a match for Denver.

"... Brady, Welker, and Gronkowski... " That's 3 IFs. The Skins surprised the heck outta me yesterday. The Pat's secondary will be their downfall. They are hurting. I wish McCourty hadn't played yesterday. He couldn't lift his right arm for most of the game... it must be bad because he is making mental errrors as well. They couldn't have done any worse by replacing him.

Funny...I didn't see a bearded guy in robes and sandals jerk Barber out of bounds to stop the clock with 45 seconds to go. But then, the Lord works in mysterious ways.
I think the Packers are the best team in the NFL, but the Broncos have developed a formula for success that has worked six times in a row. We'll see what happens against the Pats next week. If they can shut down Brady, Welker, and Gronkowski I think they will win again. If they do, they have Buffalo and the Chiefs left, and those are both very winnable games. 11-5 is quite possible.

Most analysts who are picking are taking pats & packers. I think it will be the Steelers vs Packers. I think they have the best defense of the three and are hungry for a Superbowl rematch.

It was quite a game. Came down, to me, to one errant read by Manning. Too cautious when it was the game in the balance. Woodson was beat and it was clear sailing but a QB can't see everything.

Hope Woodson is okay. Last week's "play" for me was his pick... 14 years on the turf WITHOUT a cup! That takes BALLS! But, I said that before.

Packers have peaked and we'll see if they can hold it. Pats are peaking and they should all be healthy for post season. I say Pats and Packers and I say Pats send the Packers packing... IF their secondary can hold up. BIG job to do against Rogers and his receiving corps.

Hmmmm... I suppose you could almost say the same thing in reverse to an extent. Saaaaayyy... IF it is the Pats and the Packers, gonna be a shootout!

I think such a matchup will come down to the defensive line... guys like Wilfork and... I'll stop now... this post is tooo long already.

Throwing away millions of dollars per year is not smart and it could easily come to that if he acts like a child again. Once, twice, thrice and what happens, no matter how good you are?

I would bet on them even money for every remaining game individually.

The odds of them winning any one game is, depending on the opponent, between even odds (50%)(possibly for the super bowl) and 4 to 1 say 80% but the odds of them losing one game, even if the odds in their favor for every game form now to the Super bowl were 4 to one then the odds of them losing any one game would be the sum of the opponents odds.

6 regular season plus 3 play off games 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 0r 180 % Well not really, but they have to go up against 1 in 5 odds or worse 9 times. That makes it very unlikely.

That's what makes it so much fun to watch. It would make a great story.
