I don't understand "not feeling like running it." Why not just take a knee or put in some back ups? I think this has to be viewed as an arrogant move.

I didn't watch the whole NE/DEN game but read several articles and saw all the highlights. From what I gather the situation is this: It is 3rd and 10, with about 3:10 left in the fourth quarter. NE has the ball on their own 32. NE has a commanding 45-10 lead. They decide to run a "trick" play where the ball is snapped to Brady and he punts it. With no one expecting it and some favorable bounces it ends up on DEN's 10. A 48 yard punt. My question is WHY? With this much of a lead you have to assume NE isn't really threatened with a miraculous Tebow comeback. You have to also assume the priority would be to run the ball and waste more time off the clock. Also, the odds that your regular punter would have it land roughly in the same area. I know the trick eliminated a chance at a return but does it really matter? New England coaches and players have admitted to designing this play and practicing it. Since this is the case, why waste a trick play for the first time in an absolutely useless situation. Why not use it in a crazy 3rd and 19 situation when you realistically are going to punt on 4th anyhow? Unless I missed something, I can only think of this being a play Belichick and crew wanted to try out. Or it is sort of a "lets show what NE can do." type of play? I personally think it was both stupid for wasting it and disrespectful move. Hence, I can see why Denver players were upset. Anyone, have any further information or thoughts on this?

1. I am new to TBD, but I have never seen a thread with 35 pages until this TEBOW thread. 2. In some ways I can semi understand being either pro or anti Tebow. However, even if you dislike/hate Tebow you can't be rooting for the Patriots. (@Turbosrrgood) That is ridiculous. 3. This is probably in some one of the earlier pages but it deserves another posting.http://www.break.com/index/tim-tebow-all-he-does-is-win-autotune-2269263 UNLEASH HIM!!!

Is this the worst Buffalo team ever? No. But I wish they were. It would be more fun without hope.

This is a joke

We got a break there.

Fitz is bad

We had a good run

I'm watching from a sports bar. When our D is on the field, I watch other games.

Quick Phillip Rivers Story. When he was in college at NC state, I saw him at a football players party, I offered to buy him a beer and he denied saying he wasn't drinking. Both me and his center starting laughing. That's my only time meeting the pansy.

Zach Galifianakis. (I know this is a stupid joke that many have made before me, I just felt someone had to say it.)

No statistics here. Here is what will happen based on the cruelty of being a Buffalo fan. Bills win next 3 games, putting them 8-6, while other AFC contenders slip a game or two. This gets myself and the rest of buffalo excited, revived, Billieving again. Just when we see a glimmer of hope we get destroyed. As always. You can predict Buffalo's performance on how adversely it will affect the general emotion of the city.

Today was the first Sunday in a month I didn't wear my Bills belt and Bills hat. I went neutral to the bar, and that mattered.

Raynor....wiffing.... drilling it.... what the deal!

Offsides?

That was PI

First time to say this all year but Bills defense actually looks... good. Have I been drinking to much?

Like of arguing today.

Year of the Bill. Luck turning

How did he drop that? Also, it looks like the Jets have the snap count down. Getting a quick jump.

Goooo Bills. Time to answer.

I am not happy about it.... but I think if we could choose a tie at halftime before the game, we would take it. Let's see if Chan changes anything....

Ahhh missed the replay. What a joke!

I am at a bar and can't hear the audio. Can anyone explain the onside kick? Why not go into half with a 7 point lead?

hmmmm, why?
