Chewedmint : At the time that Tebow started playing they were one of the hottest and most dangerous defenses at that time. This was a young Von Miller and they still had Elvis Dumerville..healthy too. Bailey was still playing GREAT too. 2011 was millers rookie season when he has like 12 sacks and the next year was when he had like 19.

So the reason why they were even in those games at the end was because the defense was bailing out Tebow all game.

Broncos stink, padded schedule and weak defense, one and done in the playoffs I hope kansas swindles the division from them.

I see. To be fair, Tebow made plays when they needed him to, though. One of those games against the Jets the Broncos were down with less than 6 minutes remaining in the game and Tebow led them down the field on a great 95 yard drive capped by a 20 yard TD run on 3rd down. I just feel like he's worth giving another chance to prove that he can win. Jacksonville would be better off with him; Gabbert is so bad he has no business being on a NFL roster, let alone a starter.

I have to admit, seeing KC come out of nowhere like they have and win the SuperBowl would be pretty cool. Andy Reid has done a lot there, and combined with the talent they're quite possibly capable of going all the way. Broncos won't go all the way.

KC is the best storyline of the year without a doubt, but I'm still not completely sold on them. They're all but guaranteed to make the playoffs at this point, but I'm not sure if the offense can hold their own in a shootout against some of the more potent offensive teams. They benefit greatly from the defense; 35 sacks, 19 turnovers, 5 D/ST touchdowns, etc in 7 games. They can't play that well all year. All it takes is one slip up and you're out of the playoffs. 

Well, the Lions were able to win again. Last minute comeback against the Cowboys. Really glad we were able to beat them. I don't know why, but I don't like them. Calvin Johnson had a monster game, with over 320 yards. And even though we had 4 turnovers, and didn't force one,  our defense was able to keep us in it. Really great win for us.

patar4097 : That was an amazing game. Great comeback win against a decent Cowboys team. Calvin Johnson continues to prove he's a freak of nature. 329 receiving yards, that is just absurd. That's the 2nd most in a single game in NFL history trailing only Flipper Anderson and his 336 yards back in 1989.

Honestly I can't BELIEVE the Cowboys found a way to lose that game. I mean you force 4 turnovers, you should be blowing a team out. Then you let them drive the length of the field with no time outs and about a min left to win? Weird game.

Same with the Browns game. They had a chance to win that game at the end, but Bess really blew it for them with a bad drop on the punt return then a bad drop that would have kept their drive alive at the end of the game when he was wide open.

Eagles looked horrible, how does your offense get shut down by that Giants defense...at home no less?

This Broncos Skins game has been interesting so far. Although I don't think anyone thought it would be such a low scoring game.

Well Sorry for the double-post, but I just had to post after that great win by my Bears up in Lambeau. Forte had one of the best games in the storied Rivalry. Plus the defense was able to make some noise for once. If the Bears can win next week vs the Lions, they will be in good shape.

Packers being vague about Rodgers injury. One has to wonder if he's out for the season? Broken collarbone maybe? Plus the Pack already had an early bye so this is where you can get yourself into trouble.

Also, are the Panthers quickly creeping into the conversation as one of the best teams in the NFC? Their defense is sure playing at a high level and Cam Newton is making plays. They don't have the kind of weapons that some teams have but they have one of the best defenses in the league.

Questions leading into an important stretch of games for teams.

How to the Broncos fare without Fox? - They should just feel fortunate they have Manning.

How about that comeback by Luck and the Colts? That kid is just easy to root for. Can the Colts make noise this year?

Is the season over for the Texans? With the Foster and Tate injuries, the coaches health and everything else they are dealing with...it might be. They could easily be winless when you look back at their games.

What's a bigger letdown? The Falcons season or the Texans season?

Jordanv78 : I'm definitely not a Falcons fan since they beat my Seahawks in the playoffs last year, but I'm extremely disappointed in them. Injuries have just destroyed them this season. I was hoping the Falcons would make a deep playoff run this year before Tony Gonzalez retires, but that looks highly unlikely now. Also, their schedule in the 2nd half of the season is brutal, including a rematch against the Seahawks this weekend. It's really a shame; before the season started I thought this would be a preview of the NFC Championship game this year.

This season has definitely been an interesting one though. Between the large disappointments in Atlanta and Houston with the uprising of the Chiefs and Panthers(possibly) this year, it has been an interesting half-season. However, I am not completely sold on the Panthers yet because they're five wins have come against extremely weak opponents. It will be interesting to see the Chiefs-Broncos games in the next couple of weeks to see how the Chiefs stack up. The other interesting thing will be the NFC North race because the Packers, Lions, and Bears are all tied and they all play each other one more time this year.

   So glad the Lions were able to sweep the season series against the Bears. We tried to lose the game at the end with two terrible penalties, and the Bears took advantage of that. But luckily, we were able to stop them on both 2 point conversion attempts. And Cutler looks like he might be out again. So, with both other contending teams missing their starting QB's, hopefully we can at least take advantage of that. Never like seeing injuries like that though.

So the lions are first place in NFC north which is cool since there the most healthiest team in there division. Also the saints got a record for most first downs on Sunday night against the cowboys.

The dolphins are playing against the buccaneers and many are still talking about the Martin/Incognito scandal, does this affect the game in any way?

Lol, I love how the Bucs are the favorite against Miami tonight. I actually picked them to win.

Edit: LOL the Buccaneers offensive lineman has a TD reception. That was great.

   Can't believe the Lions actually won on Thanksgiving against the Packers. I had a good feeling that they could win, but we usually find a way to lose every year. But having sole position of first place, even after two horrible games against teams that we should have easily beaten shows how winnable this division is for us. The Packers are still banged up, and the Bears haven't been able to catch up. Hope we are able to keep up our game for the rest of the season.

Now that the Packers lost last Thursday, they must need not only Rodgers back, but the rest of the freaking team to get together. No sense in bringing him back if the rest of the team leaves the game before it's even started. Including the Offensive Line. :V

patar4097 : You are surprised that the Lions beat a Packers team that doesn't have Rodgers? Hmmm. I don't think many people were surprised about that. The Packers have been HORRIBLE since he's been out. Mainly because their backups stink.

That Monday night game was interesting on a lot of Fronts. I wasn't surprised that Seattle won at home...but I WAS surprised that the game was such a blowout. I will say this, Seattle better hope that they get home-field advantage for the playoffs because they have looked weak at times on the road.

The Panthers look great. I am starting to think that it could be a Patriots Panthers superbowl.

Jordanv78 : I knew we were favorites, but just the fact that they are the Lions, and they are usually forbidden to win on Thanksgiving. In seriousness, it makes sense that we won, and losing would be a huge disappointment. And then again, they lost to a 2-8 team, and only scored in one quarter against the Steelers. It was nice to see that they didn't start another big losing streak like last year.
