caddyman Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yes, that makes it even more perplexing. You're playing for a bye, when you're guaranteed one for Ben that week, with still arguably as good of a chance with Batch to still get the actual bye and another week of rest for him, versus an extremely beatable Browns team. Right now he's clearly as much of a liability as a help anyway, and now they might just be prolonging that. This could stand to be one of the ugliest playoff games ever. Boys...they were not playing for the bye and a week of rest. They were playing for the chance that they would not have to play in Baltimore or New England. they could care less about a week of rest when you compare that to their chances in Baltimore or New England.

They were playing for the chance that they would not have to play in Baltimore or New England. they could care less about a week of rest when you compare that to their chances in Baltimore or New England. I get that. I understand they had something to play for. I also understand that they have a very capable QB2 and Big Ben can't step into his throws. For instance, in the SF game, I think that having Ben play was not only reckless in terms of getting him beaten up, but also think it hurt their chances of winning that particular game because none of his passes had any zip on them. Regardless, it wasn't even a matter of win and you get the bye, because they did win and didn't get the bye. So, rather than simply repeating what we all know, that there was something to gain by winning, understand that we're simply saying it wasn't worth the cost, especially considering that this would basically be Pitt's QB2 vs Cleveland's QB2. If you have any designs on a deep run, you should be able to take care of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The Cam Newton doesn't suck thread needs to be started. You're great at starting useless threads that few people participate in.

caddyman Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The Cam Newton doesn't suck thread needs to be started. Or you could start the Mikey Vick is overrated and needs to be raped again in jail thread. I am pretty sure it would not take as many pages to prove that he sucks as did with Tebow.

wiegie Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Congratulations to the 0 players who selected Tebow in Smackbowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I had zero faith that Tebow could win this game--I picked the PIT defense in Smackbowl since I figured they would at least get one TD and give up no more than 10 points. I had almost no faith that Tebow could be a viable starting QB in the NFL--in fact, I passed on picking up Demaryius Thomas just before my fantasy playoffs because I figured Tebow would make him not worth a crap. I'm thinking I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hoyle Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 He looked good. There were a few errant throws, but he looked good. Maybe all the last games, they kept him on a leash.... and now unwrap the full playbook he has at his disposal?? It sure opened up the game a lot and he looks good. Is he GREAT..nope...but has shown that work has helped his development. I think it bought him another year in Denver as QB. Next week will go a long way to show if he's on track. Great win for Denver today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
