0-16 goes away and 16-0 is about to go away. (Packers still have a shot though, Colts are close to a lock to win now.)

Honolulu_Blue · 12-18-2011, 02:55 PM

I didn't want to see the Colts go 0-16. It sucks. I especially didn't want Ernie Simms and Orlovsky to have to go through that again.

Good for them.

tucker rocky · 12-18-2011, 02:55 PM

Still life yet for GB.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 02:56 PM

2:04 left, Packers have all of their timeouts. 19-14 now.

tucker rocky · 12-18-2011, 02:58 PM

3 TO's and 2 minute warning, why not kick deep GB?

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 02:59 PM

Packers try onside kick, it goes out of bounds. Chiefs will have the ball. Packers essentially have 4 timeouts with the two minute warning. If the Chiefs are stopped, the Packers will have well over 1:40 left. I'm surprised the Packers tried the onside kick there.

Galaril · 12-18-2011, 03:00 PM

Wow how bad are the Titans to get routed by Colts? Routed since the score is even half indicative of how one sided this was till late.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:03 PM

Chiefs get a first down after the two minute warning. Packers down to two timeouts, Chiefs will be able to take this to under a minute unless they have Marion Barber on their team.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:04 PM

Another first down, ballgame. They ran it right down their throats.

Logan · 12-18-2011, 03:06 PM

I hope Romeo Crennel survives that Gatorade bath.

Honolulu_Blue · 12-18-2011, 03:06 PM

Good job, Chiefs!!!

Love it!

Thomkal · 12-18-2011, 03:06 PM

So Romeo Crennel gets the "interim" removed from his job title?

Honolulu_Blue · 12-18-2011, 03:07 PM

Other than a bunch of Saints touchdowns, I didn't see any of the the Saints/Vikings game. But, after last week, how in the hell does Frazier go with Ponder over Joe Webb? What was the thinking there?

At some point pride kicks in and a winless team wins. This just hammers home how bad the Lions were in 2008 because you could see they were trying.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:10 PM

In other news, Reggie Bush with over 200 yards today. As it stands now, he needs 27 yards to get to 1,000

Julio Riddols · 12-18-2011, 03:14 PM

Bush has been a different back with Miami.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:15 PM

Yeah, it hasn't been a cheap 1,000 either. Averaging close to 5 yards a carry after today. He deserves the Pro Bowl on merit this year.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:16 PM

Now for the main event. Pats/Donks. Broncos will receive the ball first.

Noop · 12-18-2011, 03:16 PM

Miami.

Nuff Said.

The fate of the front office and coaching staff has been tied to Ponder since they reached badly on him even though they should have known they'd have a high draft pick in 2012 and likely have a better QB class. They probably wanted to show any bright spot from him that they could to keep their jobs. So they called a bunch of short passes all game long and still only showed that Ponder might have the worst arm in the league.

mckerney · 12-18-2011, 03:20 PM

And it should go without saying that if personnel director Rick Spielman and director of college scouting Scott Studwell aren't fired and replaced by someone who will draft a QB with the Vikings first pick then I'll be furious.

Still the players there Coughlin? Sure it isn't anything else? Like maybe a ridculously soft zone coverage that CANNOT stop an offense without MASSIVE pressure upfront. No pressure upfront & its an easy pitch & catch day for ANY NFL QB. Even the ones sitting on the bench.

If I were 1 of the Marras (including Kate!), my level of disgust wouldn't even let me make it to the locker room before I would tell Coughlin to pack his shit & leave.

A good man? Yes. A competent NFL head coach? I suppose. Somebody that is smart enough to consistently win at the NFL level? Nope...not even close.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:22 PM

WOW. What a run. TD Tebow.

Danny · 12-18-2011, 03:22 PM

TEBOW

BillJasper · 12-18-2011, 03:23 PM

Hell of a run by Tebow.

cuervo72 · 12-18-2011, 03:24 PM

Why do defenders even bother trying to run back xp? Know the rules, gents.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:25 PM

Broncos miss the PAT. Patriots think they really accomplished something by running it back all the way, he just wasted his breath in the thin air. I can't believe we have our kickers chasing a guy on a play like that though. Know the damned rules guys.

Matthean · 12-18-2011, 03:26 PM

I guess Tebow and the gang got the message.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:28 PM

What a catch by Hernandez. Great run as well. NE had a hands to the face on Miller, not called.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:30 PM

TD Pats. Love the fact they called hands to the face on us, but didn't bother with the NE LT a couple of plays earlier.

BillJasper · 12-18-2011, 03:30 PM

Tebow looked a little concerned the Patriots moved the ball down the field that quickly.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:32 PM

Both defenses looked bad there. Really bad.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:34 PM

The Lions are unbelievable. Three straight plays with a penalty on this Raiders drive, the last being a horse collar personal foul. Idiots.

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:37 PM

Tebow is throwing the ball very, very well lately. I can't believe how different he looks from the first game. That pass was perfect. Next play it's a TD. Unbelievable start to this.

BillJasper · 12-18-2011, 03:37 PM

Man that Patriot run defense is awful!

whomario · 12-18-2011, 03:38 PM

I though the Patriots problem was the pass defense ?? Broncos with a clinic rushing the ball here, everybodys blocking and the RBs really go hard into the holes.

Gotta go for 2 here now

Didn't Schwartz promise no more personal fouls?

TroyF · 12-18-2011, 03:40 PM

For those who haven't watched the Broncos full games, look at the intensity of all the players on the team. You look at the replay of the TD run and there are 3 offensive lineman charging down the field after the runner. It's amazing how often that has happened during this run and how rarely it happened before it.

Julio Riddols · 12-18-2011, 03:40 PM

Final score prediction: Denver 54, New England 51. (Or something equally ridiculous.)

Yeah and this is with a 3rd and 4th string RBs as well as McGahee.

Post whistle, ie late hits, etc. If a player is called for one, they are done for the game.

whomario · 12-18-2011, 03:42 PM

someone explain to me why you would kick the XP here instead of going for 2 points ?

k0ruptr · 12-18-2011, 03:42 PM

I feel John Fox could of been pretty successful with the Panthers this season a well. I'm happy where Carolina is at progress wise. But Cam,JStew and Williams woulda been fun to see in this offense

tucker rocky · 12-18-2011, 03:43 PM

In other news, Peyton Manning will not play this season, according to
Bill Polian.

Did Colts fans really expect him to play this season Polian?

I think the theory is you don't want to start too early in the game just in case you miss. Let's pretend we actually had two teams that wouldn't put up a lot of points today. If you missed the extra point, the Pats could score a TD and go for two. If they made it, you could only tie the game. Dropping points early is scary for NFL coaches.

If it's me, I go for two a majority of the time. I think the odds are in their favor to do that.
