Same here. Then the Steelers can trade Ben and Mike Wallace for Tebow and a couple draft picks. Let the rebuilding process go into full effect.

I don't care if Tebow isn't the best QB in the NFL, he plays hard (like Ben to be fair), he knows how to win (like Ben to be fair), and I won't ever have to worry about seeing him in the police blotter or hearing about women suing him for sexual assault (NOT like Ben to be fair).

Wallace....he hasn't done anything wrong, I'm just tired of his act. Move on dude, please. Yeah, I know he has all these great stats about completions over 50 yards, and yeah he is super fast. He is also on the field dropping passes, not finishing plays, and looking out for himself. Hey, that's fine too, but don't make it so obvious.

Hey now....that isn't the fault of the refs. Scwartz blew that one, and he knows he did. Replay would have corrected an innocent mistake by the ref.

Agree. What's the harm in throwing a challenge flag on a play that's automatically reviewed? What bad behavior is it trying to prevent? It's a stupid rule that serves no logical purpose.

I think it's more to keep the game moving time wise.. Also, throwing the flag requires the game to be stopped while the head coach yells at the refs which gives his team time to rest and talk with coordinators and stop any rhythm from the other team..

Detroit got screwed on that play, but there were plenty of opportunities to win that game and they didn't capitalize on them. Not to mention that from Pee-wee football up, everyone is told to play to the whistle, every play.

I'm a huge Texans fan, but I agree that rule needs to be changed. That being said, the Lions coach knew the rule, and it was a bone head move on his part. As a Texans fan I make no apologies for my team winning because of it.

The refs were right to not blow the whistle, they are trained not to blow a play dead if they aren't 100% sure the player is down. If Jim Schwarts wouldn't have been an idiot the play would have been brought back to where Forsette was down.

He should ask Tebow to help him with his running skills.

I only like seeing the Jets get humbled becuse of Rex Ryan. Way too much talk, and too little walk.

I'm not a fan either. I think he's realizing humbler is better, especially when he used to talk all that crap and consistently not deliver on it, or not continue to deliver on it.
