Tebow played very well today, the Denver D was exposed by a better team. Key turnovers didn't help but NE was gonna win regardless.

So Tebow plays Ok today. No mistakes, huge game on the ground and decent throwing. My question is where did the Denver D go? Brady did his thing, thats expected. Giving up 37 carries for 141 and 3 rushing TD's to the Pats is comical. I thought the D was pretty good, guess they are just beating bad teams.

Your defense is going to look good when you are playing the Bears without Cutler and Forte, the Vikings without Adrian Peterson and the Jets on 4 days rest.

I think the Bills beat them this week also.

No mistakes? I'm pretty sure I saw him fumble deep in his own territory in the 2nd Q.

As a Bills fan, there is no ****ing way in the world that the Bills win. They have long since packed it in for the year. Hopefully this reverse mush works.

That 40 yard sack was a thing straight out of gym class co-ed flag football.

But they can still turn it on and win games? My competition arguments might be stupid to you, but arguing about something you know very little about seems kind of stupid to me.

ask the previously undefeated Packers

He played the way he usually does, one good quarter per game. It was just the first quarter not the fourth this week.

For the record, John Skelton is now 5-1 as a starter for the Cardinals. No one cares (and rightfully so) but it is interesting to see the total lack of coverage it has gotten. His team is winning, not him.

Hoss you're too smart not to see why Tebow is dominating coverage. Ratings. Hardcore fans might care about Skelton but until he turns into a virgin and puts a halo on his head he'll never get equal airtime.

It has always been this way and Tebow isn't going to change it.

This is a good analogy. The Defense is starting to grasp the zone blitz and playing better. They have also benifitted from playing the mediocrities on their schedule.

You're 100% right. The Tebow thing was a good story. Like most things ESPN does, they totally overdid it, so it almost caused you to root against him . My issue isn't with Tebow at all, although he plays it up a bit. It's with the people who took what ESPN was feeding them as gospel.

Yep. You're always going to look better when you play sh.itty teams.

Hilarious. You implied that I am stupid for saying KC could turn it on and win games. Then KC beats the previously undefeated Packers. But you still think KC can't win games. Makes sense, Riot.

At least you had a few days before this past Sunday to think you were right.

No, I implied you were stupid for entering into a conversation and arguing about something you knew little about. That much was proven true the other day.

As for your prediction. No sh.it any team in the NFL can win any game. Am I supposed to be blown away by stating the obvious? They aren't a good team. And beating the Packers didn't make them a good team, especially coming off a 27 point loss to the Jets. That's the NFL. Anybody can beat anybody.

That's been the whole point. It's foolish to just look at one thing, which is what you are doing. Obviously the Chiefs aren't as good as the Packers. But for one day they were. It's fine to look at the fact that the Broncos were winning. But it was (and still is) shortsighted to not acknowledge one of the reasons they looked good and were winning was because of their competition. Those things like important players not playing was not the sole reason. But it was part of it.

I just figured these things would be obvious. Especially to someone who follows the NFL so closely.
