Orlando Franklin is the worst starting tackle in the league. This Bronco O-Line is garbage.

Looks like Woodhead is the new kick returner. Looks like he will have to work his way back up to rb after proving himself.

In case you didn't notice, he was also playing wedge-buster on kick coverage.
You don't do that to a guy his size unless you're punishing him.

The Broncos are going to have to modify their offense for Tebow the same way Carolina did for Newton.

We know he has the talent to be successful, but you have to make use of his skills. Otherwise, you're not only being unfair to him, you're cheating your fans, too.

Clark better be getting a fine on that head with his helmet on Gronkowski who was already out of bounds!

That shot of the fat, dysgenic White slobs and amateur clowns wearing their jerseys of their Black superheroes and wearing their pink wigs slapping hands, making "tough displays" and dancing in ecstasy as "their team,"(you know they're the rejects that say "we" when talking sports) marched down the field against the Patriots terrible Black-infested defense really takes the cake. What an ugly scene. I can't even really put my feelings into words so I won't but quote another's: "How sweet it is to hate one's native land and avidly desire its ruin - and in its ruin to discern the dawn of universal rebirth."

Absolutely, but Fox is a stubborn coach. He doesn't have an offensive mind and was brought in to fix the defense. He really hasn't done either. The offensive philosophy doesn't take advantage of his QB's skillset and on defense he will only utilize the talent pool that exists amongst 13% of the population. Fox only has the appearance and demeanor of an NFL coach, nothing else.

Funny, I just told you this two hours ago.

No, you said Newton was good.
I said he was a loser.

But they've scripted the offense to pile up yardage for him and make him look good. It's still a losing formula, though, as evidenced by their record.

We have no idea if Tebow can win NFL games. He's not being given the same chance that Newton is getting.

Tebow also doesn't have the same o-line or two great tight ends, often a difference between 3 and out and a TD, extending drives.

PS is it John Lynch praising Tim?

This has been a very depressing day today watching alot of these games. Tebow looked bad and the Pats are getting manhandled. I really hope Hillis is back next week. It makes me sick what is going on with Danny Woodhead. Benching him for an old man. What a joke and then to increase his chance of injury on special teams. Then Edelman is just m.i.a. everyweek. He might as well be the water boy. Wake up and play these guys. Belichick should know better.

-Edelman is injured.
-I don't know what Belichick's problem is re:Woodhead.
-I didn't think Tebow looked too terrible. He can't even complete a three-step drop with the Lions D-line on top of him. He has no running game to speak of. And his receivers aren't exactly going "above and beyond" to make catches. He hasn't had any success today, but there's a lot of blame to place external to Tim today.
-I'm glad Hillis didn't play today. He needs to be fully healed before he tries to get back out there. AND it shows how horribly inept they are without him.

Eric Decker deserves better. This could have been his breakout year. Now he's fading into oblivion just like Austin Collie.

Tebow's a great guy and all, but bring Orton back until Tim becomes a little more competent at the position.

The Pats are losing on purpose like in the playoffs last year. If you throw a 2 yard pass to Kevin Faulk on 3rd and 11, when your behind, thats trying to lose.

well, in his defense, he tried to get it to Decker. outside his 2 completions he must have targeted him about 8 times!

Two straight weeks Cleveland can't score a touchdown without Hillis playing. Of course, the play calling and use of players on the offense is so bad Peyton probably can't help much at this point. Edit: The Browns just actually scored a touchdown.

Tebow is still for all intents and purposes just a rookie on a bad team, he may need a couple of seasons to develop, as is the case with many good quarterbacks.

Overall yes a crappy day. There's lots of those in the Caste NFL. Another one of those games when the usually unstoppable Patriots offense -- including against the Steelers -- isn't functioning on all cylinders.

New England completely screwed over by the refs. But Brady didn't help matters wasting all that time.

Agreed WL, a dreadful and depressing Sunday it is. In fact, with the White RBs grounded and just isolated success of WRs here and there, the only consistent bright spot is on the defensive side this year. It's very unfortunate how quickly the system has put the White RB in his place after a promising 2010.

Wow, the Steelers didn't have to punt against New England's awful "defense" until 28 seconds were left in the game.

Yep, and it would have been 1:28 seconds or so if the refs had not stolen the obvious TD Gronk scored.....oh well, more of the same old same old......:thumbdown:
