    That's bs. The gameplan was fine. Mundy, troy et al being out of position on a few plays screwed the pooch. Troy gambled and lost on 2 or 3 big plays and people blame DL.Mundy is supposed to fake a blitz and then provide underneath coverage, but doesn't make it and its DL's fault. If mundy was in position that ot pass was incomplete at best. DL put those guys in position to make a play and they blew it. In football on every play each player has a specific job . When everyone does their job good things happen. When they dont people crown the tebows and crucify the DL's.

    Thats not what I recall, obviously some of it was player error but I remember them playing against the run and depending on our secondary which is definitely not a strong point of ours but figured, hey, it's Tebow, can't hit the side of a barn. Denver had a strong run game, plus Tebow was likely to run it a bunch, DL played that, it's not bs.

    i just remember Demaryus Thomas showing us what a beast of a weapon a big, fast and strong receiver can be! He owned Ike and made him look like a JV player on the TD.

    The gameplan was not fine. The playmaking was not fine. The whole episode was a stinkin' debacle. Or as Emmit Smith would say, WE GOT DEBACLED!!

    As a great running team we had to stop or at least contain the run. Troy is a truly phenomenal football player, but his guessing/freelancing has ****ed us in more than one big game. Sign up for the all22 package and watch that game. He gambled and lost on more than one occasion and it cost us big. im not putting the loss on his shoulders, but he was part of the problem.

    And as Troy ages and continues to lose a step or two, we may see much more of that unfortunately.

    tebow completed 8 passes 3 of which accounted for 200+ yards. That's piss poor execution, not game planning. Our defense is predicated on two things, stopping the run and not giving upthe big play. The players forgot the second part multiple times. Do your job!

    Whats that? A break down of games? I'll have to check that out.

    I'm hoping Troy is 100% this season, he's been a liability the past couple years, when he guesses wrong he's not able to recover.

    No, it's the coaches film that's available with NFL Game Rewind. It's called All 22 because it allows coaches to see 22 players on the field at the same time.

    We lost that game when Ben was stupidly left in the Clowns game for no reason and it didn't help matters that Clark isn't allowed to play in Denver. That game will forever haunt Steelers fans. What a disgrace.

    Okay, ballhair, if you're serious...uh, NO! Tim Tebow could not be another Steve Young and at this point Ben is our greatest hope of a successful season. We might want to keep him.

    We should have won in regulation. As I recall, we were moving the ball well and we were in or at least close to FG range then the wheels fell with a couple of huge sacks and a fumble. God's hand?

    we lost that playoff game against denver because #1 tebow threw for 300+ yards #2 tebow threw for 300+ yards because ryan clark didnt play... no one gives clark enough credit but we seem to win with him and lose when hes not in the lineup..

    We lost that game because Tebow beat us...he beat us with his legs...he beat us with his arm...but mostly he beat us because we were more afraid of his legs than his arm.......I take nothing away from him...Tebow won a lot of football games that year to get them to the playoffs...and he played above the line against us.......Kid might be just and average QB...but he is a way above average football player.

    Yes but we should have won at the end of regulation with a FG and none of that would have mattered.

    Tebow is a great football player, but a mediocre QB. It's shame that he's not willing to consider a position change, because he has NFL-level raw football talent.

    However, all of this talk about him playing TE and FB is too conventional. People are thinking that he needs to touch the ball to be successful. If you forget about his past as a QB and look at his traits, I think a different position switch makes the most sense. I see him as a potential inside backer. If you look at his measureables in terms of ht/wt/speed/strength and combine that with his physicality, drive to win and borderline legendary leadership intangibles, I think that the right spot for him as a football player is inside backer. If he would be willing to make that switch, I think he could be a really good defensive captain at the ILB spot. He doesn't have what it takes to be the QB of the offense, but the raw tools and intangibles are there for him to QB a defense.

    He may have the size, but he doesn't have the experience. I just can't/don't see Tebow taking on DEs and OLBs. It's an insult to TEs who've played the position for years to say this guy can just come in and play the position at the flick of a switch.

    Ooops...I am not saying that you personally are insulting TEs, I am saying the general media's outlook on this.
