Bears are just the latest victim at the hands/feet of Tim Tebow.  No lead is safe against that team apparently, unless it's more than 2 TD's since they are offensively challenged.

I didn't see the highlights, but I heard it was a pretty bad loss for the Bears today.  Some critical mistakes down the stretch, namely by Marion Barber, who otherwise had a very good game.

They really shouldn't have blown that game against the sorry ass Chiefs.  The only saving grace here is that the Lions are pretty much sucking as well and have to play the Packers at the end of the season.

Don't count on the Falcons choking down the stretch.  They got the Jags and Bucs.  They'll lose to the Saints.

The Lions have an interesting schedule down the stretch.  They get to play the up and down Raiders, and SD which seems to be making a late push as usual.  They get GB at the end of the year.

Chicago finishes up with MIN.

No way. Their issue was no RB & shitty defense. Marino was overrated but no legit RB is what killed that team.

Correct again.  I started watching in 1990 and I can't even name any good RB he played with in MIA.  Maybe Keith Byars but that's only because he could catch alot of passes.

In 1992, Dolphins reached the AFC Championship game.  They were playing at home and got roasted by the Bills by a score of 42-21 (or something like that).  They had a few good defenders (Offerdahl and Louis Oliver) but never a good overall defense.

The Tebow hype is getting out of hand.  The guy is awful for like 3 quarters and suddenly turns it on?  I've seen this movie before and I know how it ends.  A few years down the line the Broncos will be searching for their QB of the future.  Mark that down.

Barber basically ran out of bounds with like less than 2 minutes to go and allowed the Broncos to conserve a time out.  In OT he fumbled the ball away as the Bears were driving into GW field goal range.

Two coaches got canned today:  Tony Sparano of Miami and Todd Haley of KC.

We'll see what he does against Tom Brady and the Patriots this week.  Finally they get a real test, we'll see how they fare.

Although, the Patriots defense is so horrendous I wouldn't be surprised if Tebow has his best statistical game of his career.  And he might have to to keep up with the Patriots.  I can't see them keeping the Pats in the teens.  Who knows though, New England has had a tough time historically in Denver, for whatever that's worth.  Brady is 1-5 all time against the Broncos, the ONLY team he has a losing record against.

I took a pilgrimage to Orchard Park to go to the Bills' 7th consecutive loss yesterday.

Woo.

I assume everyone has seen, or at least heard about the Tim Tebow SNL skit from this week.  In case not though, here it is.

Aside from this skit, the show was actually really good this week, thanks to Jimmy Fallon.  I find myself still watching the show these days and usually it's horrible with maybe one or two good skits per show.  This weeks episode though, was the opposite.  A majority of it was great.
