The Strange Saga of Tim Tebow can be summed up as...

[Samari]

By that way that decision by Mike Smith was beyond stupid. I have to see the entire game to see how the context of the game went, but just by hearing from the media hoopla that has been going around watching the highlights, terrible move. It wasn't that farfetched to believe that the Falcons could have stopped Drew Brees again. Even if he drove down the field and set his team in position to win the game I wouldn't be kicking myself thinking that I should have went for it on 4th down and 1 at my own 30 yard line. Now you've fallen to 5-4 and basically gave the Saints a free win after a hard fought battle. The Atlanta defense must feel insulted. Even if you convert that, you still have 40 more yards to go. Didn't make any sense at all. Even if the Falcons made it, I promise you that it would still be a terrible move.

Schaub got injured on a weird play...Why did they try a quarterback sneak at that time? I don't get it...Texans are in a weak division this year, so they can make the playoffs but whether they progress in a different question.

Well, I'll finally get to see Tebow in action against the Jets since it's a Thrusday night game. Seriously, if the Jets can't beat Tebow...Rex Ryan will probably have a heart attack. How the flock does a team win when their QB is2/8 throwing...if he's gonna run, just hit him!


Dallas vs Washington - will be epic or a pick fest.

Cincinatti v Baltimore is tantalising.

Seattle v Saint Louis for the hilariously bad game of the week.

Philadeliphia v New York Giants - Bodies are gonna fly in this one!

Atlanta are lucky to even be in contention, honestly, considering they scraped past Seattle and Philadelphia. And their remaining schedule is relatively smooth. If they get a wildcard...gah.

What bemuses me about Baltimore flopping in Seattle is how on earth they couldn't intercept Tavaris Jackon of all people...the guy has been a pickfest all season and a top echelon defense doesn't cut him off?

Exactly, and we aren't even close to the end of the saga. (It'll either end at the end of next year, or go on further to the end of Tim Tebow's career

I'll do my picks for Week 11 tomorrow.

I hope the Broncos beat the Jets.

The more hype Tebow gets, the more I laugh at the media.

To be fair -- I believe Steve Young's career started off just as whacky. IF Tebow manages to improve his passing... then he may actually be comparable. But for now, yea... he is this... weird QB.

I'll repeat what I said to someone else who asked the same question on another forum:

He lost a game, and in the process of doing so, his heisman trophy.

[Kogasa]

Funny thing is, Kyle Orton went 1-3 and Tebow went 3-2 as their w/l records.

That's pretty sad.

Oh yeah, Tebow beat the Raiders at the Raiders with 124 passing yards, yet Orton lost at home with 304 passing yards.


I BELIEVE IN TEBOW.

Winning the Heisman Trophy has little-to-nothing to do with being the first overall pick. Hell, there have been many Heisman winners that have gone undrafted. Plus, he played well despite the lost.

Jericho Cotchery and Braylen Edwards,...the Jets were FOOLS to think they could let these two valuable offensive pieces go and their offense would be better...It's madness to tank your best possession//slot receiver, and best deep threat and think Sanchez would progress...Plax only scares you inside the 20, and Holmes is getting doubled all game...It's pathetic how they miscalculated how essential those two were...

[FDW]

Well, now that the NFL playoff machine is up on ESPN, I decided to have it spit out some potential records:

AFC West:

Oakland Raiders (10-6, Seed No. 4)
Denver Broncos (8-8)
Kansas City Chiefs (7-9)
San Diego Chargers (6-10)

AFC South:

Houston Texans (11-5, Seed No. 2)
Jacksonville Jaguars (7-9)
Tennessee Titans (6-10)
Indianapolis Colts (0-16)

AFC North:

Cincinnati Bengals (12-4, Seed No. 1)
Baltimore Ravens (10-6, Seed No. 6)
Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6)
Cleveland Browns (4-12)

AFC East:

New York Jets (11-5, Seed No. 3)
New England Patriots (10-6, Seed No. 5)
Buffalo Bills (9-7)
Miami Dolphins (4-12)

NFC West:

San Francisco 49ers (15-1, Seed No. 2)
Seattle Seahawks (8-8)
Arizona Cardinals (5-11)
St. Louis Rams (2-14)

NFC South:

New Orleans Saints (13-3, Seed No. 3)
Atlanta Falcons (10-6, Seed No. 5)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9)
Carolina Panthers (5-11)

NFC North:

Green Bay Packers (15-1, Seed No.1)
Detroit Lions (10-6, Seed No.6)
Chicago Bears (8-8)
Los Angeles Dons (5-11)

NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys (10-6, Seed No. 4)
New York Giants (8-8)
Philadelphia Eagles (7-9)
Washington Redskins (4-12)

[RWBladewing]

9-7 is an extremely generous record to be giving Buffalo with how they're currently playing. I'm predicting 6-10 or 7-9 at the best. Too many injuries, no consistency.

[Last Sinner]

Here's my predictions for playoff qualifying:

AFC
-----

#1 - Baltimore
#2 - New England
#3 - Houston
#4 - Oakland
#5 - Pittsburgh
#6 - Cincinatti


NFC
-----

#1 - Green Bay
#2 - San Francisco
#3 - New Orleans
#4 - New York Giants
#5 - Chicago
#6 - Detroit

Still the best QB and best overall draft prospect, considering he was number 1 last year and will be number 1 again this year. As a colt fan I'm excited about picking up luck, who cares about the heisman seriously, Reggie bush anyone?

@tebowbots
steve young was good, and he didn't throw for shit, and he completed more than two passes a game even when he was "bad" lets not sully the name of Steve Young now.

[Demongod86]

The Dalulz cowboys winning the NFC east? Is that a joke?!

[solomon]

Why not?

Only two teams in teh NFC East are Dallas and NY.

[Kyuu]

That punt return is a direct result of (a) great running and (b) pathetic tackling - especially the first wave.
