The "Suck-for-Luck" thing is getting pretty interesting.

I just saw a replay of the Giant's go-ahead TD against Miami, and it didn't look like the Miami defenders had any real interest in preventing it.

I think they just suck. No grand conspiracy.

Why does the sports media promote Tim Tebow?

The Lions/Den game is, what, 1 qtr old? Alreday 3000+ comments on the message board.

Denver is really not good. And Tebow is really really not good.

the fans in Denver want Tebow to start. Maybe with Tebow playing the remainder of the season, they might go 2-14, and enter into the andrew luck sweepstake.

The guy gave up on the play -- he thought he was going to score and pulled up. I don't think that's the sign of a conspiracy.

Look at all three defenders - it almost looks like a slo-mo replay.

Is that really an 0-6 team that's up with 6:00 left in the 4th qtr on the verge of possibly getting their first win? Where's the urgency?

And look at the very beginning of the play: The saftey vacates the middle of the field and backs off a good 25 yards on a 3 and 12.

So I guess we're not going to have to hear Tebow getting his ass kissed this week.

Yay Bills shutout. If the Steelers can hold on, Buffalo will be back on top of the division after today.

wow, what a clusterfuck the pats/steelers is.

terrible decisions, terrible officiating, and the pats just didn't show up

no the offense decided to sleep while the defense decided be consistently bad...

It was a game where they really needed that third receiver....Makes me wonder wth is going on with Ocho....

Dear Pats,

Stop playing zone. At least make it look you are trying.

Yup, not working and the man coverage didn't work earlier in the season either, force only one punt in garbage time?. Tell the DB's of the Pat's to watch the Pitt DB's from today's game, Brady had trouble finding open people all game and the Chad experiment, I think he was on the field for what, 2 plays?,Fail. Impressive win for Pitt, congrats to their fans, their D is really banged up and still played excellent..
