NFL Week #15

I can't say for sure that he's the future franchise QB. ...Where he's lacking is in his throwing technique, possibly footwork, and in experience reading complex defenses.

This was my point.

Some day, but not this year, or next as far as I can tell.

Wonky arm, undeveloped decision making ability, overeagerness to sacrifice life and limb to make a play. It's going to take time for him to take his current abilities and tailor himself into a "franchise QB" for any team.

That being said, I am looking forward to him getting more snaps and watching him develop. His day in the sun won't be as a Bronco though.

All I can say is I'm glad I'm at work today so I can't witness the Eagles debacle on TV. I knew the Giants were going to give us a damn good run for the money, but I sure as hell didn't think we'd be down 24-3 going into halftime. This sucks on multiple levels of epic magnitude.

How do you feel now? Epic Giants collapse.

Ugh...I will readily admit it:
I am straight up terrified of seeing the Eagles in the Playoffs.

They always have our number, and I really don't want to see #7 coming back with something to prove. Plus, there are enough dbag Vick (as opposed to Falcon) fans around here, I am sure he will be cheered as much as the home team.

Your original post was a lot more critical.

He's having a pretty damn good first quarter, at least!

Tebow is looking pretty darn good, and appears to have the entire Broncos team pulling for him.

If he keeps playing like this, Kyle Orton won't be getting his job back. Absent a collapse in the 4th quarter, the coaches should seriously consider starting Tebow next week as well.

I'm not a Tebow follower, but I think he's putting the horse laugh on all self-appointed NFL know-it-alls who have been insisting that he could NEVER, EVER succeed in the NFL. (Of course, they have nothing but their own self-declared infallible opinions to go on.) His performance in this game puts the lie to that. He may not become a star, but he's looking like a solid QB.

Unfortunately, the Broncos' running game stinks. Badly.

Once up on a time, they had this guy named Peyton Hillis.....but he's not there now.

I am now looking at the sad, shattered remains of my old ipod. I threw it to the ground at the Meadowlands today, our jaws were wide open.....

speaking of shattered - I'd like to crack Matt Dodge in the head if I could, but it was still unbelieveable how the entire team couldn't even touch Jackson on a botched catch.

God, I miss Feagles.

Wow- I don't like the Giants, but really can't stand the Eagles. What the hell was Coughlin and co thinking of? Onside kick, poor play calling, and who thinks it is a good idea to punt it to Jackson? Man, some teams really can't coach.

...and what happened to the Saints???

I think it's just Dodge's atrocious rookie year. I'd like to see his ass outta here, flat out miserable kicking all year. Coughlin was furious with him....did you see how he threw his headset off and immediately went over and screamed at him?

I bet he told Dodge to just hammer into the end zone and play it safe.
