Does not change the circumstances surrounding not only him but the entire team. 7-2 is still a good record.

Not trying to turn this into a religious topic, but I find it amusing when I hear people say "God" helped Tebow and his team win. He sure could be helping all those starving people across the world rather than a football team of all things.

No, you're going to turn it into a religious topic making comments like that.

Don't do it. It's not funny.

Thanks, Oakland Raiders, for nearly killing the Seahawks playoffs chances. Had the Raiders held on, the Seahawks had a realistic shot at a wild card spot with the way we've been playing lately. I think the Chargers will beat Detroit, but I'm not sure if the Packers will try to do what Chicago did to them last year, and try to prevent them from getting in just to avoid playing them even if they cant improve on anything. So if we do get knocked out, atleast the 2nd half of the season we've seen a lot of bright spots for the future. (With Sidney Rice and so many other big name starters out) That Christmas Eve game home to San Fran will be fun to watch though!

The Lions are just 1 win away from making the playoffs. Just have to beat the Chargers at home next week. Even though the Chiefs beat the Packers on Sunday the Lions will not beat Green Bay at Lambeau. They haven't won there since 1992, and they go there every year!

Even if the Lions do make the playoffs I don't expect them to win a playoff game. Their defense isn't all that good. Not only this, but they've lost to the Packers, 49ers, Saints and Falcons. These are all teams that would be in the playoffs right now if the season ended today. Lastly, Detroit should have never beaten Dallas in week 4. How that happened I'll never understand except for the fact that the Cowboys are choke artists this season. If Dallas misses the playoffs they are going to look back on that Detroit game and realize that was the game they should have had.

No matter what happens though, I'm glad that the Lions improved from last season. The only thing I don't like is their lack of composure at times, like Suh's dirty plays for instance.

Steve Young was pissed that they let him play. Didn't look right in warm ups, and while first seed was on the line...better to have a healthy Ben in playoffs than a first seed and no Ben.

Their next game is on Saturday, so he's probably gonna have to deal with it in that game as well.

Im out of the fantasy playoffs, and Steelers got bodied. They started Ben because they wanted to lock up the one seed. I don't disagree with the decision, but at the same time Ben has to get put on blast for those turnovers. They knew how good the 49ers were at forcing turnovers going into the game, and yet ben throws 3 INTs, and gets stripped. One of those INTs was in the endzone. Simply unacceptable.

I believe we have a -11 turnover differential, and we're somehow 10-4. If we don't want to get wrecked in the playoffs, we need to fix this. I'm also not liking our likely playoff bracket at this point either:

Denver Tebows
if we win, most likely Patriots
if we win, most likely Ravens
if we win, Super Bowl vs either Packers or Saints

All on the road by the way.

Going to be hard as all hell.

On a brighter note, I'm going to the Steelers Rams game on Saturday :)

If the Steelers won on a game winning drive by Big Ben, the move looked smart.

If the Ravens won Sunday, I honestly think they wouldn't have let him play, as rumors went around the Ravens game would determine if he played or not. They probably figured if they get the number 1 seed, everyone including Ben gets an extra week to rest as long as they won out after.

Yay for 49ers win, gives Green Bay incentive to keep winning and hopefully play their starters Week 17 vs Detroit :D

I take back what I said about my league being over; apparently there's a consolation championship between me and the other team that lost first round of playoffs(only 4 teams in playoffs).

Hopefully Matt forte can recover and come back for the last week. Someone released him in my league and I gobbled him up because I have have extra players I won't need to start. If I'm lucky enough, I get lynch, forte, and mendenhall in 1 week :D


P.S. James Harrison too good. His tweet when the power went out in Candlelight Stadium: "If I cant play then can't nobody play... Lights out!"

I got owned in my fantasy playoffs too. It was a low scoring game, but the X-factor was he had Brady and Eli picked a great time to take a dirt nap.

Yeah, I've been meaning to get into a fantasy league for some time now, but never get around to it.

Well, I DO wear Receiver Gloves (Cutters are soooo good), and they definitely provide a cushion. I think the cushion is more apparent in cold weather (cause the ball feels like a rock) than it is when it's warm.

And alright, we'll see who's "in" a year from now lulz.
