Pittsburgh played like hot garbage.
But give the man his due….Tebow won despite having no running game, a ho hum defense and Decker getting hurt.
McHoodie’s picks vindicated yet?

True
and
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
here's a scarier stat
10 for 21, 316 yards, that’s 31.6 yards per completion
No. It tells us we NEED RAC FO SURE
Cuz he had a DEF that stopped Tebow.
Todd Haley - Crennel just prove to the world that you're a f***ing Joke! Matt Cassel - Orton showed with 3 weeks of practice you can beat the world champions. #7 your legacy is...you don't have one, you're a backup all along. Should never have been a starter in the NFL.

OH MY TEBOW!
How in the hell…there is NO possible way Pittsburgh loses this game if the Defense is healthy and/or Rapelisberger isnt on a bum ankle. However, im still in shock.
Did any of you remember how exciting it is going to be next year when Eric Berry is picking off Tebow!
Elite?
He should work on getting up to being an average NFL QB. He’s still terrible, one game doesn’t change that.
That is cray-z.
A Super Bowl win around here equals elite
I wonder if Matt Ryan is a boob again after 3 straight playoff losses
I felt sorry for T Gonz
Would really like to see him get at least 1 playoff win enroute to HOF.
That which doesn't kill me only makes me alive
People say that, but I find myself cheering against him -
Just because he did leave KC.
Is that bad?

I was going to say that taking the ball 1st in this style OT was stupid
much better odds to stop them with good field position.
I guess John Fox Fricken Knew better
Like Michael Irvin said
It was a slant. Good play yes. But it just happen to be the right call against the wrong defense.
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
I am beginning to think the Steelers window is closing quickly
and the Ravens with Flacco is a very tight window
what's our window?

Yep
But then he goes on to talk about a girl that he gave an opportunity to to come to this game and how shes had 73 surgeries and the biggest victory of the day was meeting her and hanging out with her and the playoff win is just gravy.
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
I said if Tebow was in and the Chiefs were out, I hope he wins the superbowl.
I have never in my life seen someone so ridiculed and hated for no reason. So many people bring up his faith and try to use it as a reason to hate him. I honestly can’t recall anyone in sports who has been hit with so much negativity. Scouts look for all types of intangibles, but the one most people seemed to miss is that the kid is a winner.
"If ifs mattered, everyone would be undefeated." Enite
i don't know why it's a big thing
athletes, singers, celebs all praise god for their win. He’s just doing the same
btw I have a friend who works for St Judge ICU, apparently all the nurse/doctors see strange mist ball of light once people start dying
I don't get it either.
As far as the ICU, that’s something. I have seen seen/heard some strange things in my life.
"If ifs mattered, everyone would be undefeated." Enite
I guess it's cause he's more open than most people
most people are like
I like to thank my team, coach, inaudiable, jesus, coach, DC, OC, etc
tebow is “I like to thank jesus, then everybody else.”
I am a believer myself, but I don't condemn those who are not.
And the flip side is I don’t allow non believers to condemn me for believing. I like that he stands strong. I cant stand when someone is always on the fence.
"If ifs mattered, everyone would be undefeated." Enite
I'm a Roman Catholic
who attends mass every Sunday.
I don’t like Tim Tebow. It’s not for “no reason”. It’s because he plays for the Broncos.
I have hated him since his college days
I don’t hate him as a person I hate the way he plays and the fact that he played at florida I hate Florida. Also he is a bronco and I hate the broncos so I hate him. Finally I hate that he is made ou to be the only player that believes in god in the nfl. And that’s how I really feel
I have the alcides virus
I'll be honest.
For a while, the only reason I hated Tebow was because he played for the Broncos and got a stupid amount of hype. But really he can’t be blamed for the hype, since he’s not the one trying to get in the news.
However, after seeing his Sound Effects episode, I now say that I’d hate to be his teammate. I don’t hate religious people, two of my favorite players are Charles and Warner who are both very religious, but Tebow takes it way over the top. I think that SNL skit said it perfectly, that maybe he should concentrate more on football instead of talking about Jesus 24/7. I get it, religion is a big part of many people’s lives, but it shouldn’t be the only thing in your life.
He can obviously do whatever he wants, but if I were on the Broncos I might ask to be traded because of him. I wouldn’t be able to take the nonstop religious stuff. Pray before the game, after the game, and whenever else, but when we’re in the middle of a game can we please focus on the game instead of God for just a couple hours?
by wustl_chiefs_fan on Jan 8, 2012 9:10 PM CST up reply actions
I understand where you are coming from,
but why would you want to be traded?
"If ifs mattered, everyone would be undefeated." Enite
I obviously have never been in the locker room, so I don't know for sure.
But judging from that thing I saw, he goes beyond just being very religious. EVERYTHING has to be about God and Jesus. It’s not even the topic so much that he never shuts up about it. It wouldn’t matter if he were a 9/11 truther, a hard-core atheist, or whatever, I think I would just grow tired of being around somebody who always talks about the same thing no matter what.
Here‘s the thing I’m talking about, by the way. Again, this clip could be misleading, but if that’s an accurate representation, I wouldn’t be able to take it for too long.

Me: uhhhh..

some people like to talk about sports 24/7 and some like to talk about religion
i just ignore it
Yeah, it's basically the same thing.
The difference is that, as the starting quarterback, and offensive player would have to be around him all the time. I would just lose it at some point. I guess asking to be traded would be extreme, but I might ask for him to calm it down a little or something.

I’m just saying, me personally, I wouldn’t want to hang out with Tebow. I’m sure he’s a good guy from what I’ve heard, I just don’t want to be around him.

Patriots might want to take the Chiefs advice and not bite on the double moves next week
Apparently the Steelers weren’t paying attention to the film, the coach talking or the players talking after our defense manhandled them.
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
They were CLEARLY unprepared in all facets
And whatever shot Big Ben got in the 2nd half he should have gotten before the game also. He moved a bit more gingerly in the 1st.

Tebow played good. But...
I would give the game ball to Demaryius Thomas. He flat out torched Ike Taylor the whole game, and made the game winning touch down. That O/T touchdown had little to do with Tebow.
I think Thomas Jones would have better success in Bodybuilder competitions than he is havin right now in the NFL!

[putting on best hulk hogan impression] tebowmania is rolling into town
you can’t stop it, I can’t stop it, nobody can stop it
Awesome
Never thought I’d be watching a game hoping the Broncos win, but for the first time in my 35 years I was. I’m not a Tebow supporter, but I highly doubt that he’s ever raped anyone so I had to go for the lesser of two evils on this one.
Also, I was having doubts (and still kinda am) on whether or not Elway and Fox will have to build their team around Tebow. Them winning a playoff game makes that more likely, and I’d love to see the Broncos build there team around a QB that can’t throw. Sure they won some games this year with despite that offense, but so did Miami with the wildcat a few years ago, and we all saw how that turned out. And if they decide to go another direction at QB, there will be chants for Tebow whenever that QB makes a mistake. The only QB that might not get that treatment would be Andrew Luck, and he’d probably cost he Broncos something crazy like 3 firsts and 2 seconds to obtain (plus the wasted first for having to dump/bench Tebow), and I can live with that.
And lets face it, they are gonna get murdered by New England next week. Not a Pats fan either, but at least I can hope for Brian Waters.
this is creepy, I just learned
that tebow threw for 316 yards
and the refs were "matthew, mark, luke, and john

is def bullshit. Tebow did throw for 316 though.

did that steelers defense come in over-confident and unprepared? looked that way. that was an embarrassing performance.
give Tebow credit?
Tebow gets credit for the little he has to do for the team to get a victory. His defense never gets credit for keeping him alive. And let’s be honest about his 300+ yards…they came on Demaryius Thomas’ big play ability. Tebow didn’t have to throw a lot and padded his stats off of Thomas’ 200+ yards on 4 catches. Tebow is far from elite. Give the rest of the team credit that helped him get this far!
by JMagsKC1 on Jan 8, 2012 8:21 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Give Steelers credit
Steelers defensive game plan was terrible. How to beat the Broncos: keep the ball in front of your safeties and don’t bite on the play action. Steelers were too depleted to run man coverage the way they did. If they had kept safety help over the top and let the Broncos pick up chunks of yardage on the ground instead of the air, they might have won.
Steelers don’t have Carr or Flowers, they have Ike Taylor who got his ass whooped today. And they never adjusted their scheme all day. Ridiculous.

He played pretty well today. He’s still a bit like Ricky Vaughn out there. He hits some strikes and then throws one to the backstop. Overall though it was light-years beyond what I was expecting.
The way Pitt played they didn’t deserve to go on. I wonder how bad losing Mendenhall and hobbling Ben really hurt them. Next week will be a kick in the teeth though.

Ben not being able to really step into the throw with his left foot caused at least 2 INT's today
And a couple more bad throws.
Team looked like crap anyway, and they deserved to lose. But that bum ankle certainly didn’t do the guy any favors.
That said, I still loathe Roethlisberger. So as much as I wanted the donkeys to lose because they’re pretty laughable – I’m also sick of seeing PIT late in the playoffs. So it was a lose-lose as well as win-win either way yesterday.

Right on the money
All they are doing is moving down in the draft and putting Elway in a horrible position. Rapidly aging stars (Bailey, Dawkins, McGahee) on team with suspect younger talent and a low draft pick…..not to mention a tougher schedule.

Why didn't the Steelers rush?
Looked like alot of the teams in the early part of the Broncos win streak. Single coverage in the secondary but a total lack of effort to get to the quarterback. Chiefs disciplined rush was and is the right answer. Steelers deserved to lose today.
because of the throwing
They blitz at the beginning until tebow threw that 50 yard. Then they retreated to protect their secondary. But you can only keep WR in check for so long without a good rush
Cause they couldn't
they would of if they could of
We did it without Berry
Chiefs are an up and comer
not so the Steelers
that would be a crazy defense
with von miller and the rest of the DL
broncos D would be solid
The NFL has officially become a joke
NFL = WWE
Tim Tebow = Hulk Hogan-an absolutely no talent assclown that the NFL continues to let win simply cuz he draws ratings

How I always hated the Denver Broncos more than another team
You know for the past 40 years the Chiefs have been my team. Through all the bad times and the few years of good. I always despised the Broncos more than any other team. I could stomach the Raiders, Seattle when they were in our division, San Diego but I despised Denver. My favorite game of all time was Montana and Elway at Mile High. I was so hoarse after that game and was on cloud nine for weeks, we had finally won at Mile High. But you know what I find myself in a quandary. You see I no longer hate Denver for that matter I root for them unless they play us. I see all the people talking about how they hate Tebow mostly because he stands up for his beliefs! It is a shame to see the attitudes now a days about GOD. Forty years ago Tebow would have been admired for his stand even twenty years ago. I wonder what happened? Have we turned so far away from GOD in this country that we hate on a player because he is a Christian? Listening to many on this site and others I get disgusted. Ill bet there are even a couple people on here that say they are Christians but are to ashamed to admit it. I’ll tell you what I have lived Chiefs for forty years and yes I hooped and hollered when they beat Denver but I also pulled for the raiders to loose because I believe; not in Tebow but in the God he serves. Many here will deride this comment but like Tebow I do not care. You know what; many of his teammates pray with him on the field, on the sidelines etc. My final words here will be Go Denver and to GOD be the glory!

Is this what sports is about?
What if Rodgers comes out and says he is a Devout Democrat and that half the country is wrong?
What if I am an Islamist or Jewish? I have to listen to this why?

Last I heard America was welcoming to all Religeons and of course Races
Political persuasions and Sexual persuasions so I could care less about Timmy’s beliefs
Though I am Christian I have learned there are others that fel just as strongly about their thoughts.

I don't think anyone cares about him being a Christian or not
there are many that, like you, are very glad to have him around. I don’t even think its his fault that he is such a big story. I think most people are sick of hearing about a talented athlete but not really talented QB who hasn’t done anything and who people act like he is the second coming. He doesn’t act that way, in fact he seems like a pretty good man, but you have media non-stop on this guy. You have fans who won’t shut up about him and buy his jersey and put the name Jesus on the back. You have a player who has serious flaws in his game and is still probably never going to be a legitimate NFL QB. Yet, we can’t get away from him. He is always on ESPN. Analysts in game talk about him non-stop. He is on magazine covers. The media and fans have made this guy into something more than he is, a great college QB but not a good NFL QB. For most it has nothing to do with his religion. I am just sick of hearing about the guy. Sick of the jokes. Sick of him being on TV. Sick of ESPN doing 20 different stories on him every week. Sick of his crazy fans who think he can do no wrong.
The only people I really hear, other than the occasional loud mouth NFL idiot, say anything about his religion, are Christians who applaud it or claim he, and Christianity by association, are being persecuted. Who in this country would denounce him for his religion or being religious? Very few. Last I checked it had been a long time since Christians were persecuted and Tebow hasn’t been either. This guy has had more press in the last two weeks nationally than my Chiefs have had the last year. He has had more reports on ESPN in the last 3 months than my Chiefs have had in 2 years. I’m as sick of hearing about Tebow as I am about Kim Kardashian, the Jersey Shore, and Lady Gaga and for the same reasons.

Actually Tebow did throw himself in the "look at me" arena when he was part of that anti abortion super bowl ad
Or did we all forget so quickly?
Pro abortion or anti abortion, either way, that kind of political shit-stirring has zero place in sports. The NFL is not the arena for that.
Jesus will hear you when you pray alone in a quiet room just as well as he will with you in front of cameras and millions of people.
One has to wonder if it’s really about faith at all, or just the public spectacle.

True, he did do that
but for the most part he doesn’t throw God around in every interview unless asked. He doesn’t chastize others or act holier than thou, at least in public. For the most part he has been pretty normal, to the point of nearly being Opie Taylor in press conferences. If the guy said “Aw, schucks!” or “Golly gee!” in a press conference it wouldn’t surprise me.
He does it more than someone like Polumalu but i don’t know how much of that is because he brings it up or because he is asked about it all the time.
I definitely agree with your post below, very well said.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
It's the over the top evangelical beat-you-in-the-face-with-my-beliefs part that people are tired of.
I get tired of it from evangelical Christians, as much as I get tired of it from evangelical atheists. (Yes, the people that beat you over the head with their lack of belief, and try nonstop to convince you to think what they think.)
It’s obnoxious from any angle.
Not to mention the religiously fueled political TV ad he was part of during the bowl season.
That stuff has no place in football.
I’m sick of Tebow for all that crap. I don’t care that he’s Christian. Most of my favorite players are. You’re just plain wrong saying people don’t like him because of his faith. It’s his (and his legion of followers’) making it a big deal that makes it unbearable. I don’t care if he worships Christ, the Prophet Mohammad, his own ancestors via Shinto or nobody at all. It doesn’t matter. It’s a personal choice and I fully support his right to believe whatever he wants.
I just don’t want to hear about it. And I don’t want him to abuse it to make political statements. It has zero to do with football – which is the only thing that makes him relevant. His career as a football player.

People Don't like Undo Credit
The religious folks think Tebow gets grief because he’s religious. Much of it is because he has gotten an undue amount of credit for the team’s performance. While this is typical of the position, in his case it is even more pointed due to his most obvious ineptness.
If he would just stop and give credit to his defense and some timely turnovers before giving credit to his religion he would get more respect. He is not the only player with religious beliefs.

I can't stand the hype
but I think you’re pointing the finger at the wrong person. Tim was very complimentary of his teammates this evening. The problem is networks like ESPN shoving him down our throat constantly. The week of the Bills game, ESPN didn’t have any decent Tebow footage because he had been pummeled by the Patriots the previous week. So, they go back 2 weeks to the mic’d up from the Bears game.
It’s a joke. but it isn’t really Tim’s fault, it’s the damn media.

Yes, it is.
It’s all hype. It has been since before he left college. Just because he’s outspoken about his religion… doesn’t mean he’s the Ultimate Christian.

I'll agree with that
It’s mostly hype. Tebow seems like a good guy. In all his interviews he comes off as a good guy. The hype of him in college, coming out of college, with the media (ESPN especially), and the fans is just insanely overdone.

Religious Patriots Rejoicing in Broncos Win
Message would be redundant.
Holy Shit! You mean to tell me that
if you draft a qb in the first round who was successful in college, you can win a playoff game? What a fucking concept. Pioli your fifth round “gem” technique, has not produced shit since brady. Maybe you should look into this crazy idea of drafting a qb in the first round.
John Elways opinion means nothing.
He was a great qb, but t he hasn’t done shit as op manager for the donks, besides hate on tebow and begrudgingly ride tebow’s coattails further into the playoffs.

Given that the Patriots have feasted on poor teams all year
one would think next week would be a walk.
But why? New England cannot stop anyone. I see a lot of “well at least next week it will be over”. I don’t think it will go as easy for New England as it appears. Has nothing to do with Tebow or faith. If one thinks we would have beat Pitt today and could hang in next week, then Denver also must be capable, no?

Tebow has done one possibly good thing this week...
Hopefully he got Carr a new contract with the Chiefs. We need 2 good CBs to defend the stupid Hail Mary’s.

wtf
the only reason broncos won today is because steelers only brought four guys on the rush 95% of the time, and their corners cant cover.
On the other hand, we bring alot of pressure with our LBs, and our corners can stay with recievers. Trust me broncos suddenly did not become another team, steelers just sucked.
Pittsburgh was the worst team in the playoffs this year...
Mostly because of the injuries. Any other team that made it in would have beat them. Chiefs, Raiders, or Chargers all would have won as well. This was just the year to win the AFC West, that is all… Sucks that we drew a healthy Ravens team last year. Totally differenent scenario this year…
It's all over the news about "Tebow's miricle pass"
But nothing about the recivers “Miricle run on a 15 yard pass play”……

Yeah credit where it's due
Thomas’ stiff-arm and subsequent after-burners were pretty awesome to watch. I hated it, but that was a great play.

The donks won the game
and deserve credit for that, but the fact is that Ike Taylor sucks outloud. Their smoke and mirrors defense was much like San Diegos last year. #1 statistically, but very flawed. It’s time for Dick Lebeau to retire, because he just got schooled by the worst QB to start a playoff game in my lifetime.
The fact is, Pittsburg was overrated. Hell we should have beat them with basically a retard at QB. The best part of this win is that it solidifies Tebow as the starter for another year. The Pats just got another bye.
I still can't buy into Tebow
I think he’s a nice guy and all and I have nothing against him personally but I wouldn’t want a QBs who think passing is the last option.
I think Bellichick will have a defensive scheme that will shut slow him down enough. I wanted to say the Patriots would shut him out but then I remembered how awful their pass dfense has been this year – not happening. But the thing is that you know Brady and the Patriots offense is going to put at least 30 if not 40 points on the board. I’m not taking anything away from the Broncos win but the Steelers had massive injuries (on both sides of the ball) and their a team with problems anyway (OL issues, running game issues, etc).
