HOLY SHIT.

Murray, you got some piss to drink.

Unbelievable.

[cantstopthemusic]

If the Steelers lose this I'll drink a cup of my own piss.

Bottoms up!

[bane]

Goddamnit. LAglam is never gonna shut up. Fucking wow.

[Space Bear]

Well God damn. Pun intended.

316 yards, 2 TD passes for Tebow.

On to Licketyville.

[MurrayFiend]

Fuuuuuuck. That was really something to see, though. Ha, all that talk about the 'new OT rules' and what happens?

I don't see them doing the same thing at Gillette, but who knows?

You guys'll trust that I did it immediately after that play and it tasted a lot like Coors Light. I drink a lot of water.

[MickeyG]

I'll be highly surprised, and amused, if the Patriots don't stomp Denver next week.

You could just claim it was a ruse, I suppose.

I didn't think they had any chance today. I give up on Denver prognosticating.

Tebow: The new Tom Brady..

Never seen a QB cry for a flag every other play as much as I seen in that game..

The only one crying for flags was Rapistburger.

[MurrayFiend]

I'd never heard Tebow talk before I saw a bit of him being interviewed by Marino during the pregame, and I can only assume Jesus is helping him suppress his obvious gayness.

Have you ever seen his chick? Beyond smoking.

[WhiteHouseSubsAC]

Maybe he'll swallow his tongue and die and we won't have to deal with it.

That said, what an amazing game.

They should have let Suisham try that 67-yarder. That would have ruled

I bet Tomlin is agreeing with you right about now.

I don't understand why not.

These fuckers were NAILING kickoffs. The ball was fucking sailing. And in between saying "TIM TEBOW" every 5 seconds Phil Simms did mention they were hitting 55-yarders in warm ups with ease.

With nothing to lose I don't understand why they didn't. Yeah I get that a block can happen but come on, you got a chance to put that shit away on the road you do it.

[LAglamrocker]

congrats to Steelers on 6-0 victory. I thought Denver would at least out score Atlanta


Elway pull the trigger and trade Tebow

Do you also understand the kick trajectory of a 66-67 yard field goal attempt?

Obviously not.

You think they're gonna risk their season being DONE on a blocked kick being returned for a TD, when it wasn't even necessary? That's madness.

During "pre-game warmups" they ALWAYS kick 55+ yarders WITH EASE, pretty much ANYWHERE. Even COLLEGE kickers routinely do that.

Everything you say is true.

So what. They could have given it a shot. 63-yard field goals have been made 3 or 4 times in NFL history. A 66-yarder could have been made too. With 3 seconds on the clock on the road it was worth the risk.

I bet Tomlin wishes he'd given it a shot.

They had FAR BETTER odds to score (and win it) in OT. They had all the momentum.

He'd do exactly the same thing in the same playoff situation.

Playoff Rule #1: Never snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

In that situation you go for it. The odds of a blocked attempt are very small. Denver would have been very careful not to go all out for a block and risk a roughing penalty which in that situation would have been a 15 yard penalty plus 20 seconds on the clock. And there was no danger of a missed attempt giving the ball back to Denver in good position because time would have expired with the ball in the air. He should have gone for it.

No danger of a high snap going over the holder's head, being scooped up by Denver and ran back for the win, either - right?

Get the fuck out of here with that "you go for it" bullshit.

Risk/Reward odds are EXTREMELY LOW for a successful FG in that situation, if you're Pittsburgh.

You SURE AS FUCK know that Belichick wouldn't go for a FG in that situation, either.

It's not like a "free play."

[AliceManson]

They lead the NFL in total defense. It's not a subjective thing. Facts > made up stuff.

What looks good on paper isn't always the absolute best defense ever in the history of the NFL now is it? They have been low on sacks and takewaways all year.

Who said they were the best in the history of the NFL? Nobody. They have been low on sacks and takaways, and they still lead the league in total defense. Stop acting like an idiot.

The Steeler fans say it over and over, they will tell you team in history has ever matched the Steelers. If the defense isn't overrated how did they struggle against Painter, Palko, Wallace/McCoy and now Tebow?? You really think they are as good as a few years ago?

Calm down gramps.

I find the "risk/reward" here to be a lot more balanced than you do. The "reward" is winning the fucking game and going home.

You are entitled to your opinion. But I disagree with it. The "risk" is nowhere near the "reward" in this situation. The odds of some fatass defensive lineman, or a tall DB brought in to block the kick and ending up flat on his face, returning the ball 40 yards for a game-winning TD seem pretty low to me.

But hey we'll never know. I would have liked to have seen it at least for entertainment value.

On an average weekend there are 16 NFL football games. A typical game features 4-5 FG attempts. Using round numbers say there are 70 attempts each week. Which would mean about 1100 attempts a season. How often is a FG either blocked and run back for a TD or has a bad snap that results in a TD run back? There are about 16 blocks a year, and maybe 1 or 2 run back for TD's. That's about a 1% chance of a FG being blocked and a 0.1% chance of it turning into a TD runback. Contrast that with a 50% chance of losing the coin toss. The correct call is to go for it.

Tebow really had 3:16 yards?
