I dunno. I might be going after a QB first

Why? Even if you draft a great QB you need a lot more to win a championship. Lets say they draft a QB and he is just average, great you have a .200 team like you did with Orton.

Tebow is not a "great QB" but if you think the Broncos would have been even 4 or 5 win team with an average QB you're fooling yourself.

Tebow, the good and the bad, on and off the field, as a total package brought that team into contention. You drop him now I guarantee they go back to being a 4 or 5 win team or worse.

Captain obvious.

So if GB wins, do the niners go to GB, what if Giants win, giants go to SF

Have you ever heard of NFL playoffs seedings?

I don't think Quinn will come in. What's the point? Broncos have zero chance of winning at this point.

Over the second half of the season their defense has been pretty good overall. Same thing last week. Not sure why the defense stepped up when Orton left, but today looks like an aberration compared to how the Broncos have been playing recently, no?

I thought that myself when he posted that :

So what's the record for TD passes in a game, let alone post season? Might see that fall tonight.

 

[Agent23]

Brady will get 7 or 8 TD's tonight. After he gets 7 and breaks the record, they should pull him.

 

[Centurion]

If they don't pressure Brady and just sit back in that passive zone D he's going to put another 35 up on them. Belichick does not believe in letting up just because he's up multiple scores.

Nor should he! Play to win. Stomp on their throats until it's over.

These guys have a job to do.
Play the game to the best of your abilities.

When sports writers criticized the Saints for "running up the score", during Brees' record breaking all time passing yards game, that was just lame.

Did they expect NO to bring their level of play down because it's classier to win by a few points instead of a blow out? Laughable really.

Tebow's stunk tonight, but make no mistake, he isn't to blame for this loss.

If your defense allows 6 touchdowns and can't even force them into a field goal attempt let alone make them put more than a time or 2 its their loss. They were worked from the first play on.

No, their D has been really bad (Cheifs game excluded). They are a swing and miss type defense. Sometimes they will get a good play and cause a turnover, but if you look at how often they allow 3rd down conversions that's the story on their defense. Can't stop them when it is needed.

Depends how much longer they want Brady to play.

7 would be the post season record, but just looked up the record for any game and it's 7. 5 QBs are tied for that.

When was the last time that both Conference Championship games were the #1 and #2 seeds?

 

[sprig0701]

Keep him in. Screw it, I want to see records fall tonight!!!

I turned this game off at the half. It justs gets to be no fun as a spectator when the blowout is this bad. At least the NO & SF game was entertaining until the bitter end. i hope tomorrow's two games are as entertaining.

 

[Centurion]

I think I can hear fans in the stands chanting, "Teeeeee....bowwwww!"

I don't blame you. I confess I turned it off too. When its no fun its no fun. I can watch a loss, but not this. End up throwing the remote through the tv.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Pat's D is great tonight too. Making big negative yardage tackles all night.

Exactly what I posted earlier.
Even if the team I'm rooting for loses, I would still have enjoyed the game if it was close. Going back and forth, down to the wire. Just like tonight's SF vs. NO game.

This NE vs. Denver game has me surfing the channels.

I muted the game while I watch UFC on my computer.
