I'm more interested in the Texans/Ravens game... Both have good running games with really good defenses.

both games will be good.

No way Texans win though. I just don't see TJ Yates having a huge game, and he'll be out-performed by Flacco.

Texans/Ravens is real football. That's the kind of football I like. I'm sure shootouts are more exciting to a lot of people but I like seeing smash mouth football with some defense. I'm an AFC North/DEFENSE kind of guy.

This sums up the Broncos.

Their defense can't play worth a shit to high power offenses, When the Denver defense can't hang, Tebow and co. can't keep up and keep pressure off because hes a horrible passer and can't drive the team down the field worth a fuck in the first 3 QTRs.

Tebow should thank his defense for helping him to get to the playoffs during that stretch of horrible teams they beat.

Also, for all the feggits who say "Tebow motivates that defense, blah blah blah" Where was Tebow at on that Von Miller fight? Isn't he suppose to like.. part the other team like the red sea or some shit and help em out?

Kam, you're right.

It's Tebow's fault his defense gave up 5 passing TDs in the first half.

I don't see the Texans winning either, not with TJ Yates at QB against the Ravens defense, and also being @ Baltimore. Gonna be tough for the Texans to get the running game going, the Ravens have such a stout run defense.

It is, he should have willed them to play better like did during the regular season!

Or is Tebow on some Fairly OddParents shit where his magic only works when the games don't matter?

We love our high scoring offenses..atleast the lions and packers haha
Well, that's the thing with the Lions/Saints/Packers/Patriots etc.. They score a lot of points but they also give up a ton of points... If they can play against a defense that can hold them down a little bit, they are in trouble. I hope the Giants beat the Packers, I would LOVE to see that. I just can't see it happening @ Green Bay. I hope I'm wrong though.

Those D's give up a lot because they blitz. You blitz and you're vulnerable over the middle -- but they also rack up a lot of sacks.

I hate judging defenses based only on Points & Yards.

The Patriots defense did their part last night and played well but they aren't that good. For whatever reason they had that Denver offense figured out both times they played. If it's the Patriots vs Ravens like I expect it to be, I can see the Ravens offense doing some good things against the Patriots defense. Lets have a Harbaugh Super Bowl.. lol

im actually envisioning a Harbaugh super bowl. Would be really fun to watch.

And Pats D worked well yesterday because they pressured Tebow from his left. They came up the middle but also brought pressure from his left side, where he scrambles. He couldn't scramble often, and when he did, he couldn't run it. There was nowhere to go -- so he had to scramble and try to make a throw.

Why?

Yards, I understand. Yardage allowed per game is a worthless stat, but points allowed, 3rd down percentage, and turnovers are the most important stats for a defense.

The NFL would LOVE that.. Can you imagine? Brother vs Brother in the Super Bowl??? I can see it already with the story lines and everything going into the game... lol

If you blame Tebow for this loss then you need to give him credit for getting them there. In reality, the entire team played awful against the Pats. I saw horrible play from every position last night except Willis McGahee.

This... Pats were 12th ranked defense by PPG during the regular season. Huge difference from 31st ranked by total yards.

I'm still trying to figure out how the Steelers lost to the Broncos... I knew the Broncos weren't a playoff team so I was shocked to see them take down the Steelers, but gotta give them credit for that. They just aren't quite there yet (Broncos). They were one of those teams that got in that I pretty much figured they were just taking up a spot they didn't deserve but they beat the Steelers and will only get better going forward. I looked at the Broncos the same way I did the Bengals, I knew they weren't playoff ready.

I was more making fun of Tebow fans who act like he makes the defense play better.
