That was a tough one to take. Sick. Heartbreaking. Gotta be in the playoffs to be made fun of for losing in the playoffs.

And it basically relies on the other team having weak corners that have trouble covering 1 on 1

Denver doesn't run the wildcat. Apples to oranges.

It's different because most other offenses can take you down the field 6-10 yards at a time passing OR running.

The Steelers only won 1 road game all season by more than a TD, and came into the game with significant injury concerns.

I'm sure the Broncos could do that if they wanted to, Fox and McCoy are usually super conservative and love the run game.

There's nothing wrong with that. The point I was making is that the numbers are not proof that Tebow is a good passer. If it leads the Broncos to victories, so be it.

With a few big plays, because of weak corners and playing the run.

It didn't against KC did it?

Pittsburgh limped into this game. I am surprised with the o line they had that they even made the play offs

Point is, there's a big difference between playing at home against an injured team that has struggled on the road all season and playing on the road against a team that just beat you by 18 a few weeks ago and has the best offense in the conference.

I didn't hear many people saying the Steelers would "stomp out" Denver this week. The line was something like 7.5 for Pittsburgh last I saw. I would expect the Pats to be favored, and win, by 13+.

Not a hater just a realist, Tebow fans are bandwagon and front runners.

and they'll have an actual off season to work on getting his completion % up around the 55-60 range for next year. Games started, he is still in his rookie season and remember with the lockout no OTAs or workouts last year for him to work on it.

+8.5 and for a road team in the playoffs that is huge in the NFL, plus DeyDurkie5 was giving 10+ and robj55 was giving 30.

These guys were tucking their tails between their legs the last 3 weeks and no where to be found, this week they are gloating everywhere like Tebow is Marino.
