There were literally no times in the first three quarters where two consecutive pass plays were called, instead McGahee kept getting stuffed for a yard or two.

I think it's clear that Tebow's conditioning is superior to a lot of the defensive players late in games. He shows much better burst in the 4th quarter than the linebackers and DE's who keep up with him early in the game.

Lovie Smith was to conservative in the 4th qtr...Tebow thru for 191 yrds just in that qtr alone. The corners played to soft and the prevent defense was just not cutting it...yet Smith went with it anyway. Also the fact the defensive line showed hardly any signs of pressure upfront giving Tebow plenty of time to throw. But the ultimate mistake was Barber running out of bounds...Unbelievable. Had he gone down inbounds the Broncos we're probably looking at 25-30 seconds as opposed to 1:05 left on the clock. I'll give Tebow credit though...he never gives up.

I know what would make Denver's receivers better. A QB who gets them in rhythm.

After all, it has to be really hard to catch balls when you get one per game, and even then you aren't expecting it.

see you in Indy, Green Bay!

Best thing to happen to Houston was Leinart's season-ending injury. And who knows, this kind of injury situation throwing some nobody into a starting role was similar to Kurt Warner and Tom Brady being discovered. Maybe Yates will turn out to be some newly discovered gem.

this is true

NFL Network talked about how Tebow is still fast after 70 snaps
He doesn't get tired, he has that will to win

First sub 100 QB rating game for Rodgers (96.7)

That drops his QB rating to 123.3. Only 2.2 up on manning at this point. It's getting close. Of course Manning had only two pass attempts in game 16. If Rodgers is playing for perfection on game 16 give him the unofficial title if still > 121.1 after game 15 but is under after game 16.

With some of the mistakes that the Cowboys made things could be worse for the Cowboys right now. I am glad that are defense has held the Giants to only 3 points 2 times when the Giants might would have got 7 points those 2 times. I am very happy we are winning right now.

see you in Indy, Green Bay!

Looking forward to it

Please be sure to make number #14 nice and shiny for us

[Navster]

Quite a game tonight, 7 lead changes

[Beta Man]

Wow..... Nice one on 4th down.

[bam777]

Wowza, Romo and Bryant killed it on that play. Be prepared to see that one all over ESPN tonight and tomorrow.

[Terjyn]

Coughlin has to be sick, he goes for it(and makes it) on 4th down only to have that freaky interception and then in two plays TD to Bryant.

Looked like simple blown coverage to me...... Not like it was a great throw or great catch......

[Galactus]

Any other time Romo would choke but nooooooo not tonight, not when I have a psn card on the line

[little flower]

Sean Lee is Awesome!!!

Eli chokes away as many games as Romo does. I'm shocked anyone would be confident enough in THIS game of all games to pick a winner.

I think it was actually a great throw/catch, but it was funny when every player was confused on what happened after the play.

Romo always comes through when he knows that people have psn cards on the line. That's just a given fact.

That last throw and incomplete pass will get more airtime than the TD if Eli marches them down the field here

[little flower]

I am very very nervous right now!!!

[Terjyn]

I said like two weeks ago that Eli would lead a last second TD drive to beat the Cowboys. heh. I feel like a seer.
