99 yard passing TD by the Giants. That really put a new face on the game.

I don’t know who the Bronco’s offensive coordinator is, but he suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Run up the middle for one yard. Run up the middle for one yard. Crossing route for five yards. Punt.
And Miami beating up on New England doesn’t surprise me. Miami is New England’s kryptonite come December.

Sounds like Jimmy Raye. :mad:
Maybe Mike Singletary is whispering in his ear, “Favor the run…”

And to think the Broncos should be down 23-7 at the half.

All according to plan.

I’m pulling a big fat zero from Eric Decker in a championship fantasy game. Is Tebow not even looking to throw today?

To allow Tebow to make one of his patented fourth-quarter miracle comebacks.

Adrian Peterson looks like he might be pretty badly injured. Could even be a broken leg, from the look of the hit.

I wonder if London Fletcher will be fined for the helmet to helmet that concussed the Vike’s QB. Cushing just got a 10K tab for his on Thursday which seemed no worse.

That’s weird, they usually don’t call it when Ray Lewis tackles a receiver before the ball gets there.

Cleveland coming back?
How 'bout it, Brownies. Let’s see the upset.

There’s nothing good that can result from this game.

St. Tebow still has 7 or so minutes to pull another miracle out of his ass.

For you, maybe. If the Ravens lose there’s nothing bad that could result from it.

Look at the Cardinals coming back! Jesus being fickle and switching loyalties to John Skelton?

Pat Shurmur is awful.

…and that is why you suck, Cleveland. Really? On a play where everybody, EVERYBODY knew that the Ravens were running a hard count to try to get the first down you guys obliged them. Brilliant.
