Sorry sky but Yeah Hawks! Marshawn Lynch is a beast! That 15 yard TD run was one for the books, can't beleive he shook free and scored. Man, if we hadn't blown up at the end last week the Hawks would be 6 and 6... hard to believe considering how pathetic they looked again the Steelers and Browns a few months back.

If the Eagles keep playing like they did last night, someone will be history. Either Reid will go or a bunch of players. Pathetic effort.

Yeah, I had figured the Eagles to win that game.

Yeah, I had figured the Eagles to win that game. They never were even in it.

I know. I think the team has quit on Andy Reid. It's probably going to be that Reid gets fired, but I think some of the players should also go, starting with DeSean Jackson.

Your weekly Tebow update from someone who watched the whole game:
QB Rating: 149.3 10/15 for 202 yards 2 TD 0 INT Two of those incompletions were drops where he hit Decker in the numbers, one was to avoid a sack, and one was a perfectly thrown ball in the face of a blitz that Thomas got his hands on in the end zone. There was also a 30 yard completion on 3rd and 20 that was called back for holding. He threw accurate, tight spirals down the field all day. He had four scoring drives in the second half to respond to Vikings scores. This makes him 6-1 as a starter, with 5 road wins and 4 fourth-quarter comebacks.
Von Miller sat out the game, and CB Andre Goodman got schooled by Harvin over and over before the big INT in the 4th quarter.
Waiting for another week of commentary on how he's not a good quarterback and the Broncos are getting by with their defense and a soft schedule.

well, looks like after three competitive quarters, the Skins decided to remember Rex Grossman was quarterback and gave up three consecutive touchdowns in the last few moments of play to snatch defeat from the jaws of a game they'd mostly spent leading. the third touchdown wasn't even necessary, it was just an added little bit of horribleness. thanks Rex! at least john beck had the decency to suck so bad you had no hope.

Can't think of his first name, sorry.

So what's with Elway, he never goes over to congratulate his QB? That's the second week I've seen him just walk right by without so much as a nod. He handshakes other players. Weird. Anyway, congrats Mr. Atari, Tebow's the magic man.
Packers are in a fight. Giants have been getting pressure on Rodgers, even got an INT. Come on Pack, beat those G-Men! (gotta love Clay back in coverage, coming up with the pick 6. I saw him running and thought "He's gonna get that ball!" and he did)

Watched a little of the NFL Network coverage and Cris Carter on ESPN. Looks like the way around giving credit to Tebow will be to talk about how bad the Vikings' defense was. Just like last week, I wonder if these guys actually watched the game.
Carter: "He needs to complete 5 more passes and prove he can be an effective pocket passer. This option stuff just won't beat good teams." Um, Cris, the entire second half, where they scored 28 points, was run from a standard 2-back set with pocket passing and play action. Carter continued, regarding Christian Ponder's late INT, "It doesn't matter what you do the rest of the game, you'll be judged for how you play in crunch time." Wait, what!?! Then why don't you like Tebow?
Tired criticisms are tired.
And the Giants are within striking distance heading into the 4th quarter. This should be good...

Phew, another good game right down to the wire. Packers 12-0. Hawks and Titans won so another 3-win week. Fun for me.
Oh and Bradshaw gave Tebow some love. Pointed out what you said Mr. A - The Vikes took away the option and forced Tim to be a pocket passer... and he steped up and looked good doing it. So at least one commentator was paying attention.

Can't think of his first name, sorry. Okay, when exactly did the freshness date on the NFC East expire? Eagles, Redskins, Cowboys and Giants lose, oh my! Roy Helu is all we Redskins fans have on offense. And what does the brilliant Redskins coaching staff do? Well, they decided near the end of the second quarter that Helu wasn't needed anymore to run the ball so they'd just let Grossman throw more passes. Why stick with what's working when you can have your average quarterback stink it up. Good move guys! And I thought Tebow played great today.

I'm sitting here thinking back to my childhood...and my teenagehood...and my early adulthood, and I can't quite wrap my mind around the fact that the nationally televised game of the week is the Lions vs. the Saints.

Good move guys! yup, someone on the sidelines, i assume kyle shanadingdong, has decided airing out the ball is the way to go, even though grossman is... well, grossman. extremes of darkness and light. i didn't actually watch the game this week, thankfully (i can get Antenna TV on my, erm, antenna TV, but evidently not CBS) but i did watch it unfold a bit on NFL.com. seemed a fair fight till the end. rex's INTs are bad enough but i'd say the real first order of business is to figure out a way to get him to quit coughing up the ball on sacks. and yeah, i have no idea why the two-headed shanabeast is so dead set on constantly throwing the ball.
