Broncos special teams with another mistake. Trying to lose the game, I'm sure of it now.

Special teams screws Denver yet again. And that will probably put this game out of reach.

DEN ST is beyond atrocious today, keep pinning their offense deep with terrible field position.

I'm not watching the game, but it looks like Hillis is in danger of losing his 100-yard game because of Cleveland's O-line.

Tebow with a pick-6, truly a day to forget.

Gerhart with a 100 on 9 touches.
Nice! How far do we go back to find 2 White RBs with 100 yard games on the same day? 30+ years?

The "Tebow Sucks" chants are getting pretty loud. I guess now that he's actually throwing the ball more than 3 yards, the INT's are coming fast & furious.

Throwing into non-prevent defense isn't exactly his strong suit.

Can we get a mod to knock this clown out again please. TROLL ALERT

A historic day indeed with two white running backs proving the belong. If only Danny Woodhead ever got the chance to run full time, he would easily go over 100 yards. Two is great but three would be better. Hoping we are slowing breaking down the stereotypes that white guys can't be star running backs in the NFL. If Minnesota is smart, the trade Peterson as he is in decline and they can still get some descent talent in a trade before it's too late. Gerhart will be the man for the Vikings in the future in my opinion.

Welker with over 100 yards receiving. Some decent performances today to make up for Tebow's worst game of the season. I imagine a lot of criticism will be coming his way this week.

San Diego's game at Detroit is even more important now. I'm looking forward to this game. If Stafford does lead Detroit to 10-wins (and secures a playoff berth), I won't be upset.

A long time, that's for sure. Peterson may have a serious knee injury, which could have ramifications for next season in Toby's favor.

I don't use the word "stereotype" because a stereotype is based on reality, whereas the reality is a white RB can be successful. Hopefully, Gerhart will be a starter somewhere next year.

One of the worst performances I've ever seen from a special teams unit in the NFL.

Buffalo averaged 33.7 yards per return on kicks and 45.0 yards per return on punts. Add in the penalties that buried the offense deep constantly, and you have to assign full blame for this loss to Denver's special teams. Of course, the defense didn't help matters much, giving up 7 yards per carry to Spiller.

Denver's got a lot of problems. And coaching is probably #1.

As Don indicated, Peterson's injury could be a big factor here for Toby's whereabouts next season. It looked very serious from what I saw, but we need to wait for the official report.

I will remember that. Brings up a very good point about articulating our points more accurately when talking with people who are not aware of the CasteSystem.

My guess would be a full PCL, and Meniscus tare. With a ACL hyper-extension, about 6-11 months for the full recovery depending on the players recovery abilities.

Wes Welker with another outstanding game. He has 132 yards receiving and should remain the leading receiver in the NFL.

I love watching Gronkowski just run people over. He is alot like Shockey was in his younger days but I think he will have an even better career. The guy can really fly and has power to take on just about anyone he wants. Rob "the tank" Gronkowski!
