Maybe he was at the game. It’d take him a while to get home, especially with the bar-hopping and drowning his sorrows along the way.
I am mildly bewilderd as to where the Steeler fans were during the game, either in this thread or in Airman Door’s thread.
Good point! I didn’t think of that.
Comforting themselves with carnal relations with their siblings is my guess.
Here you go.
Wait, I just got it:
The Ten Completions

This may be the best evidence yet for miracles.
Stolen from Twitter, “and John told him to pull the trigger”.
Stolen from a browns board:
Of course obviously god doesn’t love the browns. More like some sort of tiny bit of mercy on a leper sort of thing.
Possibly the best image to describe what it was like watching that last play:

Oh well, as it turns out the Broncos made it a sudden death game. Holy crap, and that play coming from a quarterback who allegedly can’t throw to any of his receivers who allegedly can’t catch.
Bad weekend for wild card teams–all of them lost.
Glad to see the Tebow heroics. He’s a good kid, and doesn’t deserve all the abuse he gets.
Nest week–Saints @ 49ers, Giants @ Packers, Broncos @ Patriots, Texans @ Ravens. Great slate of games.
I like the Saints chances against the 49ers. Shouldn’t be too cold out there, and I don’t think the 49ers have enough offense to outscore the Saints, even against a good defense. GEAUX SAINTS!.
I’ll be a Giants fan against Green Bay. If that defense keeps Rodgers in check, maybe they can save my Saints from a trip to Lambeau in January. ** GEAUX GIANTS!**
I think the Patriots hold serve at home. They can score enough to keep Tebow out of reach for last second heroics.
Lastly, I like Baltimore over Houston. I think the Texans have come a long way, but they’re overmatched in this one.
Which only reinforces the question- why change the rule for the playoffs? The NFL changes one aspect of the rules. Why bother?
Because Brett Favre missed a Superbowl when the Saints won the NFC Championship under the old rule.
About 60% of coin toss winners go on to win the game. The new rules would seem to try and lower that. From an entertainment prospective the NFL wanted to minimize overtimes that ended with two quick passes and a field goal on the first drive, without the others team’s offense having a chance with the ball.
Brett Farve threw and interception, meaning that both teams had the ball.
Not in overtime, he didn’t.
So about the forward pass/early whistle/lateral/fumble thing.
The reason you can’t change that is apparently you can’t review whether or not something is a fumble if it’s called on the field to be a forward pass.
But… isn’t that exactly when they do when a defender gets a QB from behind as he’s about to throw the ball, and we’re trying to see if the ball was in his arm when it started going forward?
What exactly was the issue there?
I think the problem was that the whistle blew early. The receiver dropped the pass (lateral), but the play was blown dead before there was a recovery by anyone. Since the play was whistled dead, the best the Broncos could have gotten on review was a fumble, but not a turnover - it could have backed the Steelers up two or three yards, but that’s all.
As I remember it, Favre threw the INT in regulation, Saints won the toss, and kicked the FG on their first possession.
I’ve seen them award a fumble after the whistle blew - one time ridiculously egregiously against the browns like 5 seconds after the whistle blew. Image links don’t work anymore and I don’t have the originals, but it was bizarre because the play was dead for like 5 seconds before anyone sort of ran over and casually scooped up the ball and they ruled it a fumble recovery.
Anyway, I’ve seen plenty of less extreme examples of when a change of posession was awarded for a fumble recovery after the whistle blew.
