Dorkington Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 There's a reason they play the games. Are the odds in the Broncos favor? Nope. Can they win? Most definitely. Any given week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garranimal Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Do you not take into account how awful Denver and Tebow have been the past 3 weeks? Denver lost to KC, Pitt beat KC, Denver lost to Buffalo, Pitt would kill Buffalo, Denver lost to a NE defense along with the Cheifs and Bills that are no good. After having to play 3 playoff teams in their division 6 times, I think the Browns would beat Denver. Yeah so, Pitt is banged up and they still finished 12-4 tied with Balt for the division except 2 of Pitts 4 loses were to Balt. No way no how does Tebow beat Ben, Tomlin, Lebeau, Harrison, etc. It's just not going to happen, period. Just out of curiosity, who lost to KC 2 weeks prior? Can't be the MVP-QB sportin' Packers, can it? Naw. There is a reason the games are actually played by humans rather than on Madden.....right? No? I can think of two super bowls in which the Giants had zero chance of winning. Ouch. Edited January 5, 2012 by Garranimal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that the Packers threw that game (coaches decision) to take the heat off of them and get rid of the media attention for the "Perfect season".

All_Pro_Bills Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Field position and turnovers will decide the outcome. A big special teams play by either team could be the difference. In the end I suspect the Steelers will win by a single digit margin of victory. I can't see either team making it past the next round. Watching quite a bit of the Steelers on the Sunday Ticket its hard to reconcile their play this year to a 13-3 record. They've seemed to be just good enough to win most of the time. And its been stellar play by Denver's defense that has allowed Tebow the opportunity to stage these comebacks. If he doesn't turn over the football they might keep it close.

Garranimal Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Boy, did you show me. Good smack. Thin skinned much? My point was/is....the cheifs may not be the same crappy team they were all season, specifically defensively since they have been playing light-out on D since Romeo Crennell took over the team after Todd Haley was fired. And if you watched the KC-Packers game, you would likely believe that they didn't throw the game, they simply got shut down but a coach who not 5 years ago was considered the top defensive mind in the game. Hey, why do any analysis when you can simply break out the narcissism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 The media isn't giving Denver any chance this week and by how their offense mainly Tebow has been playing it's hard to think otherwise, but I think this game will be a tight game with Denver pulling it out in the end. I think Denver's D matches up well to Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh has struggled offensively at times throughout the season putting up points. I think the Denver's defense will have a point to prove and can keep them in this game with the momentum changing with some special teams or a long run by McGahee to spring open the game in the 4th and win by a field goal! I wouldn't be surprised if this is a very boring game to watch. BUMP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Interesting tidbit of info, ever since the NFL moved to the 4 team divisions in 02 teams who have entered the playoffs at 8-8 or worse are 4-0 in the first round: 2004 (8-8) Minnesota 31 Green Bay 17 2004 (8-8) St Louis 27 Seattle 20 2008 (8-8) San Diego 23 Indianapolis 17 ot 2010 (7-9) Seattle 41 New Orleans 36 2011 (8-8) Denver 29 Pittsburgh 23 ot Make it 5-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Gotta wonder how much the absence of Steelers' starting FS Ryan Clark (who has sickle cell trait) affected the outcome? I didn't think they needed him before the game, but afterwards, it looks like they definitely missed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, your answer to the thread question: No chance. And if I were Pgh, I'd consider sitting Big Ben and letting Charlie Batch start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next weekend will be a different story though. But that's another thread. How gracious of you. Tebow was awesome today. Made the #1, yes the #1 pass defense look like Cincinnati in the sugar bowl. But there's always next week......and its amazing that your hatred for one player is enough to make you fan of the Patriots. This has got to be KILLING YOU.....KILLING YOU I SAY, KILLING YOU.
