It's the divisional round of the playoffs. The New Orleans Saints go on the road to play the San Francisco 49ers. The game is at 3:30 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) and it's on FOX.

The Saints are the rare road favorite in the second round of the playoffs and most are expecting them to win. The 49ers defense is very, very solid and could make them earn it though.

Here's a link to SB Nation's story stream on the game where there will be a bunch of highlight videos.

This is your open thread. Who ya got?

Hard to decide who to root for here.

Love Drew Brees, but I also love the football the 49ers play.

The way the game is going right now,

it appears that who plays better defense today will win!

Playoff football baby!
Yep.

It will be whoever allows the fewest points that wins.

Nope. Offense wins.

You have to score more points than the other team to win the game.

The defense might not let them score much today
aldon smith

niceee

I was about to say that.
their offense aint half bad either

such a difference 1 year makes

What a difference the right HC makes.

But poor Haley didn’t have an entire offseason to work his magic.

I predict the 49ers will score first, with a TD pass.

Aside from that, I’d like to see the 49ers win. One less team potentially looking for a QB if they win at least one playoff game.

Nice call!

TDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTDTTDTDTDTDTD
this is what matt cassel with a good coach can do
this is what a top 5 defense can do :)
top 5 D can throw a football?
im sure they can

but 2 turnovers in the first quarter is what a top 5 d can do. keep the Saints scoreless, that is what a top 5 defense can do.

make that 3 turnovers
but to be fair

that was special teams :D

why are they so special? ;D
Because they ride a short bus to the game.

Was Smith ever a cassell? He actually played in college, then as a young pro. The truth is almost every quarterback in the league is further along in their development as rookies than cassell was this year.

smith, 4 OC in the first 4 years of his pro (or was it 3?)

fans hated him. People said he lack an arm, decision, or any skill at all.

sounds familiar?

Indeed

I just meant to say I wonder if being on the field as a leader of a team during one’s early development (I.e. college) is an absolute necessity for success at the pro level, IR if that’s something one can learn later on.

Wow, this defense..
First time I'm seeing the 49ers play all season.
you didn't see the monday night game against pitt?
This can't be right...

Brees does not throw interception!

This is why I want the Chiefs defense intact while adding few more key players. Defense wins championship!

tebow has determined, 49ers vs broncos Sb

deal with it

FRANK GORE! RUN IT IN YOU DUMBASSES
ok prediction 52 to 18 49ers
9ers are murking the saints
HOW ABOUT THEM COWBOYS?????
Peyton factor = Go 49ers!

Even if there is the slightest chance that Peyton is healthy and is released the 49ers would be one of a few teams that would potentially make more sense than the Chiefs… thus, we should want Alex Smith to do well in the playoffs. :)

+1

I’ve never plus oned myself. :)

Brees, who would normally look that Safety off

Made a very poor attempt at doing so with that very slight shoulder fake.

Brees - Dome = Matt Cassel
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Man, how good does Alex Smith feel right now?

After being picked 1st overall over Rodger, nobody thought he would become good QB let along a decent until the 2011 season.

thank tebow for their D
That's second time you replied to my comment

With Tebow in it…what gives? You a secretly Tebow fan or something?

what you can't take a joke? ;D
Ohhh....

I don’t know why it took me a while but you replaced “god” with “tebow” didn’t you? Pretty clever if you ask me ;p

Thank Tebow you finally caught on.
wow this might get out of control soon, now 49ers can pin there ears back since they are taking away the run by the scoreboard.
never underestimate brees
if it gets to 21 to 0 im going to go ahead and call it with this D.
Great new State Farm commercial.
I want the job of that cheesehead outside.

I wonder what he gets paid for acting like an idiot? Nobody pays me for that.

DO A FAKE FG!!!!!!!
really dude? your up 14 keep adding points.
they will never expect it
And for good reason.
so...why are we not hiring college coaches?
Because they're all out of Harbaughs.
i thought those guys grew on trees
it's a bad season
Drought?
Economy.
too much snow
All the people singing

Let it snow, let it snow during Christmas.

wait isn't there a female haubaught?

let’s recruit her

that would just be a momentum change if you fail which odds are you fail

up 14 add more points and keep momentum.

you gotta be agressive. Pin them deep and drill them like a pornstar
wow no flag for that? LOL
49ers looking good
I think it's hilarious how these announcers are missing pretty big things.
like what?
The guy who got knocked out at the beginning of the game.

That guy getting pushed. Etc.

they see it, nobody cares ;D
Any other game, those get mentioned right off.

Who is the announcing group today?

the most they been down by is 10 this year and didnt face a D like san fran.

if you can be up 3 scores you do it while keeping momentum. play smart, aggressive is not needed right now.

he lost control before his knee was down.
Naw. He was down.
i demand a TO

49ers world champs hell yea

See! You don't need a dominant QB to win in the playoffs.

The saying is holding up… Defense wins championships! And we almost have a dominant one :) Was really curious of how this would go today.

we're still missing carr and another pass rusher
almost being the keyword
psh screw almost, the time is now

we either capitalize on it or regret it the rest of our lives

Well the offseason hasn't even started so it's too early to say
screw off season, time to get our pieces in place
Well Carr I know

won’t sign until he sees what’s out their. Along with the rest of our FAs. I don’ think we can even begin signing FAs though.

We can sign our own.
Gotcha.

I’m sure our top-tier free agents would like to wait and see what they can get in FA. It’s a two-way street and people tend to forget that.

Yeah, takes two to tango

as the saying goes.

No, you don't.

You just need one that can read a defense and make accurate throws.

That Orton guy does that pretty well.

Cassel… not so much.

Refs are getting so bad in this league. New training is needed or something, because teams should not have to challenge that crap.
that is not a fumble, he tucked it
I think he meant the fact that they missed that call in the first place.
this is from the other post of brady tuck rule
His other hand hit it though.

The ball was no longer coming forward.

you show em Jimmy!
and....now the 49ers loses
HAHAHA!!!

Best old spice guy ever.

That was pretty good.
Goose wearing a suit and tie?
With the Blues Brothers shades.
Who does he think he is

Jack Del Rio?

"what do you do?" dude in Chevy commercial...

Look like Andy Studebaker in 10 years no?

i wonder how much studebaker have..

isn’t he the heir to some car?

3 and out 49ers

i hope they don’t have haley coaching syndrome

Get a lead, play not to lose....then lose?
marty never did that

prevent defense

because marty was awesome
Niners better stiffen up.
The hell?

They hiked that ball.

2 minutes offense at the 6 minutes mark
yeah marty was elway best friend with that bend buy don't break defense
I am jealous of this D

First time in the last month I felt that way watching a team play

Jealous that they're getting owned right now, and about to give up a 17 point lead?
I hope it gets dark soon.....if you catch my drift
You can't wait for the Tebow game?
monday night football, 9ers stadium loss power for over 2 hours
any news on marty getting the bucs job
BOO that's the tuck rule
would u be happy with hue jackson as oc
he's too arrogant. It's everybody's fault except him
i like al saunders better
to answer the question ...
would u be happy with hue jackson as oc

Cool................................
Brees threw his 4th playoff int.
what if the raiders hire haley for oc and we hire hue jackson as oc

2 former head coaches coaching each other rivials teams

Hmm.

Harbaugh said some questionable words there.

the saints need willie roaf to block that smith dude for the 49ers
Ah Willie Roaf.

Hopefully we can get another stud OL from NO (Nicks)

Feels old school listening and not watching

i’m like a man from another time.

Brees' 2nd td pass

Was a beauty…if only we had a qb that could make a throw like that. Orton yes, but we all know Cassel could never put touch like that on a ball.

cmon man cassel lazer passes are on the money to our wr

just like obama is lazer focused on jobs

Yeah.

Because Cassel has never made a good throw before.

he has but nothing like that
Whatever gets you through the hate.
so you believe cassel can make that throw?

Do you want Cassel as our starter?

yeah

Like this

great pass

But show me a KC highlight..don’t get me wrong. He can make a throw now and again but is he really going to win us a championship?

you changed your point
but we all know Cassel could never put touch like that on a ball.

i was simply saying he can, and has. :)

i also said he has made good throws...

But never like the touch passes we see from Brees, Rogers, Brady, Eli M. Is like to see highlights of Cassel in KC making a throw like the Brees Td today.

the key is to get cassel mad like the vikings game this year

he is just too inconsistant, and doesn’t check down on wr very good. cassel locks onto one wr to much

Yes.

No.

so if you believe he can make that throw

Why don’t you want him in KC? I don’t think he can make that throw nor want him in KC

Because he's inconsistent.

He’s made great throws of all kinds, including “that” one. He just doesn’t do it enough. He could also be better with pocket presence, reading defenses and going through his progressions. He’s good at times doing all those things, but again, not with any kind of consistency.

This.

There was too many “wtf was that?” with Cassel more than “Hell, Yeah!”

I would rather say the latter more often than the former when it comes to the KC Chiefs QB!

i can agree with all of that.

Great points and agree completely consistency is the key word there.

and alex smith going back to him old self..
How the hell was that a forward pass?
he threw it forward

;)

No way!
its a shovel pass which is a forward pass
good game :-)
These are guys are aggressive
Saints need to hold on to the football.
did that saints guy

stomp on the guy down?

49ers need to catch the football.
If Saints could hold on to the Damn ball

we would be up 3 td’s right now

Chiefs would be up 3 TDs

if the Saints could hold on to the damn ball?

what was the spread on the saints game
What in the HELL are these refs' problem today!?
I think the Chiefs are going to look very 49ers-esque next year.
nineresque - like that
Hopefully we don't run illegal picks like that, though.
Here we go...

Entering 4th quarter and it’s one score game.

mmmm defense

D-licious

For real.

Owning Brees.

soo...

is it blasphemy to root for the Broncos to beat the Patriots?

Nah.

I’m doing it. Sick of the golden boy.

I don't want him to win because my roommate might have a mental breakdown.

He hates him so much. I really don’t care. But it would be crazy to see him do it again. You can’t deny the dude has something going for him.

Who, Tebow or Brady?

Brady is the golden boy. Tebow is….Tebow.

Tebow
I meant I'm sick of Brady.

He’s got 3 Super Bowls already. Let someone else win one.

I hear ya... it's Tebow though ugh
tebow is Jesus

At least everyone here in Denver thinks so

no kidding, I was back in Denver last weekend and had to listen to it. I want them to lose so I don't have to hear about Tebow until next season

I’ll be getting text messages from friends tonight during the game every time Tebow does something

You're gonna hear about Tebow no matter what lol
yeah, but I don't need my phone buzzing with texts messages during the game

atleast I can change the channel if ESPN is doing a 30 show on Tebow

and here I thought Tebow was the golden boy
Maybe we should start calling Brady the Golden middle aged man.
that's better, that way I'll know which QB you're referring to
I am hoping this will happen....

Photobucket"/>

Frank Gore beast modin'
if that was JC that would have been a td
I was just about to say that.
hes a beast no doubt
yeah but that dude

is the son of God

Would be nice to have a RB of his caliber to go with JC

Chiefs would be hard to beat!

Is Justin smith a free agent this year

The guy is unbelievable!

Even if he is, I doubt SF would let him go

Since Harbaugh called him the MVP of the team.

they are keeping him there

What do you think they have a stupid GM like CP?

Two years left on his contract.
u need willie roaf to block justin smith
BW at espn actually made a blog post the other day about Justin Smith and San Diego

His premise? “Justin Smith would be a good fit in San Diego”. Duh. Justin Smith would be a good fit in any 3-4 defense especially in SF where he still has multiple years left on his contract.

This one suuuuuuure feels like the Niners will be going home w/ broken hearts.
Yep

The longer they let the Saints stay within reach, the more I worry they’re going to pay for it.

There it is kids.....
55 pass attempts for Brees thus far

Someone get the ice pack out.

Brees...

Man, I am glad San Diego shipped this guy out of town because I’d rather that Chiefs face Rivers than Brees two times a year!

I think if Brees remained in SD, they would have few rings by now.

Think if Brees AND Sproles remained in SD. But they wouldn’t have any rings, because of one man named Norv

Let's not forget about AJ!

That man did us many favors! ;D

Under 5:00 remaining in the game

Isn’t this called “Tebow Time”?

And there it is
Niners just lost this game.
well, there's the game
Why did AJ have to be a dink and franchise Sproles to block us from signing him?
lol

do you wanna face him twice a year?!

Because he's AJ

He doesn’t know how to be any other way.

Just look at what could've transpired if that doesnt happen.

We get Sproles and instead of McCluster couldve drafted:

TJ Ward
Gronk
Lamar Houston
Daryl Washington
Carlos Dunlap
Sean Lee

among others.

Can't wait til we have a TE that can throw a downfield block like that.
As a K-state fan:

I’d love to see Sproles get to a super bowl.
If the Saints win it all they should send a ring to San Diego for giving them Brees and Sproles.

What is the best website to watch in-game highlights?

anyone?

ingamehighlights.com
I usually go to NFL.com

I just click on certain game and it will take me to the game center and click on the highlight just below the scorebox. There’s usually numbers of highlights on the right side.

For example, I just went to NFL.com and clicked on today’s game on top of their page, clicked on highlights and about 9 highlights for the game were available. (There are post game videos as well…I just ignore them)

Hope this helps.

Thanks, looks good.

I remember the rumors of Sproles to KC if SD didn't franchise him 2 years ago

Then Pioli decided he had to draft McCluster at the top of the 2nd rd when Sproles was franchised…

As mentioned above.

TJ Ward
Gronk
Lamar Houston
Daryl Washington
Carlos Dunlap

Cody
Spikes
Angerer
Lafell

The problem for the Saints right now is David Akers.
Can Cassel make that throw?
He has.

Just not often.

not in a big game,
It took six years for VD's play to catch up to his puff.
Where have you been the last three years?

211 receptions, 26 TDs, 2671 yards

The dude has been packing that much puff.
so all the batted down balls

that Alex Smith gets. Cassel has had that problem too. Is that on the O-line? Or does Alex lock eyes on his targets like Cassel tends to do and the defense reads it?

or could be both I suppose

Smith locks on quite a bit.
Get it together SF
Game
Yeah

I knew that was a mistake when I said it.

Thats great and all but way too much time for Brees
Could Cassel do that?
yes

and he could do it without an appendix.

No, Muir wouldn't call that play
WOW!!! ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit!

Is that Steve Young?

Alex Smith > Matt Cassel

Who wouldve thunk that a couple years ago.

Uhm...Don't know about that.

But he has been good this game.

At this point the only starting QB that's worse than Cassel is Gabbert, but he's a rookie and Cassel's 30
I've always liked Smith

It has to be hard having a new OC every year of your career.

Which is reason #115 why we cant keep Cassel next year.
Yep

Give me Orton and a draft pick.

Was going to say, he's been through a few scheme changes.

He always had the talent, though.

smith=matt cassel with a good O-line
I don't think they're even comparable with the way Smith has progressed this year
OMG

“You don’t think Tim Tebow has had an effect on this league?”

810 Radio broadcast

He was the reason the 49ers came back?
What a playcall...
Perfectly executed
alot of time for brees
u almost wish san fran could burn some more clock
Fitting

Its up to their defense to stop the Saints

ah the ultimate battle
HOW ABOUT THEM COWBOYS????
@lettergirl
I’m watching the new episide of Hoarders. Guy spent billions on a house and filled it with crap. Oh wait. It’s the Cowboys game. My bad.
OOOO i got burned
Anyone here think that the Saints won't drive to win?
Me actually

I see 49ers Packers next week

brees will pull a tebow
You were right
brees is way too good
The whole offense is good
My gambling habit needs a Giants win so I hope you're half wrong.
Hehe

I may be all wrong

great play call by 49ers

Now time for Brees to do his thing

Too much time for Brees.
exciting game
Sounds like it

Stuck at work listening to the radio :(

Now I'm wondering why I bothered watching the first 53 minutes of this game.
to pass the time until we see tebow
1:30 left for smith
All of sudden they are scoring back to back TDs!

This kinda of reminds me of some certain night between Montana and Elway ;)

Niners with 1 TO and 1:37 remaining

Don’t think they have the passing resources to get it to FG range.

come on matt, you can do it
Someone call Buffalo Wild Wings!!!
I'll get the flashlight
lead by 5

now trail by 8? huh?

Those 13 point TDs are killers.
Wow

What a play

Ummm

How does that even happen

buffalo wild wings, do you believe?
yay

c’mon overtime

Davis: hold my dick, I'll be right back
Davis is beasting.....
This game has to be OT

Thats the only way it should end.

New OT rules. Unless Tebow is playing.

this game is crazy!!!
You might want to cover that guy.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!
Whoa, Nelly!

Touchdown, Niners!!!!!!

9 secs too much time for brees?
WOAH!

Alex Smith just won the niners a playoff game….

fas;lhsd;hsfaghorwnvj

Now the question of the hour

Can Matt Cassel win the Chiefs a playoff game?

I don't think they wanted OT.
That was an amazing throw

Left his hand before he rounded off behind the LB.

Cassel wouldn’t have thrown that :-P

if davis was bowe, it would be high and wide
WOW. beast mode by Alex and Vernon
I thought this was the most boring playoff game so far until the last 5 minutes.
Vernon Davis.

Much deserved.

I was right instead
I see your Jimmy Graham

And raise you Vernon Davis.

Vernon Davis

6 catches 166 yards and a game winning TD.

Heck of a day
"Roman Harper timed that perfectly"?

I would think timed perfectly would be covering the guy instead of trying to pop the ball loose.

try covering when the guy's knee is in your stomach
Time for one more miracle.
PALKO time. HAIL MARY
glad, they only got brees :-)
Hook and Ladder to Billy Bob
LOL the 9ers just pulled a cowboys
I will laugh my balls off if Harbaugh just Garrett'd his team.
What do you mean?
garrett iced his own kicker
My wife just pointed out, if this were Tebow doing this, they wouldn't shut up about Tebow.

Instead, they gave credit, where credit was due.

Helluva of game!

Now on to Brady time! (U of M fan here)

Big props to Alex Smith

and the Niners.

Indeed...

What a turn around for that team.

I want another TE!
we have pope
Not for saving people from pools.
we need some awesome TE's

:(

and I like Moeaki. we need another one

I want a QB to make all our players look good
Denver already bending
Well.. this one is probably over
I wonder if Cassel could do a come back like that for us...NE up 7-0
Freaking Broncos pass d doesn't look too sharp there.
alex smith

Is definitely better than cassel.

Pioli don't think so
Fuck that dude.

If Cassel isn’t our starter next year then retract previous statement.

If Cassel is our starter he had better have gotten rid of those happy feet and high ass throws
Why they always go for the bomb
because they have the arm strength for it
well it's pretty obvious to me which team is better
This RB/QB is hard to defend
Running it down their throats.

Niners d. Broncos run. This is a weekend of good football.

old fashion football
One of this days somebody is gonna tag Tebow real good on one of those runs of his..
TUCK RULE
that's a tuck
What?
am I the only one who remembers pats vs raiders?

geez

Not even close to the same kind of play
that was a fumble. No way brady arm was going forward
Just saw the replay

No way. That clearly was a fumble.

It's a fumble
brady disagrees
That was an obvious fumble...arm never went forward
No....he doesn't

1- it wasn’t a pump fake 2-he takes a half hr anyway to throw the ball so his arm wasn’t going anywhere near foward

Fumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"To bad your ass just got saaaaaaaaaaaacked"
That was on his o-line 100%
So glad the Broncos put their hopes and dreams in this bum
as opposed to cassel?
How does this get to Cassel?

Did we change our entire playbook for 1 guy? No. Did we go out and get another QB who’s gonna compete for a starting job, yes.

it took us 3 years to get someone else?
Again

What does my comment have to do with Cassel? If your implying you’d take Tebow over him then your fuckin crazy.

He HAS won more playoff games than Cassel.
Oh man by a whole 1!
he has won more playoff games than our past 3 QBs
Him?

Is this not a team game? stop people

Amen

Like he didn’t need 60 yard FGs and the Raiders being the Raiders just to even be in

Oh come on, you know what I mean.

It’s obvious he’s not the only guy out there.

He beat a depleted Steelers team

That we almost beat with Tyler fuckin Palko, you expect me to be impressed?

And Marion barber costing the Bears the game twice
And didn't alot of people get on Cassel for only beating a few teams

With winning records? The same amount Tebows beating

Well

Trent Dilfer won more SBs than Dan Marino, so I guess that must mean he is better than him

yes. Because what's the point of having high yards, numbers, etc

the whole point is to win the SB. if you don’t win you’re basically tony g

What were they supposed to do?

Replace him after a Pro Bowl worthy year?

Remember Romeo said Cassel has not forgotten how to get to the playoff..

And there’s tebow for ya lil

Gisele is bouncing in the stands ;-0
Tebow's got the dropsies again
Man, Broncos defense looks abysmal.
They are playing an actual offense

Not one hobbled by one leg Ben and no starting RB in Mendenhall

Denver can beat a hobbled Steelers team

but not a rested Pats team. I expect a rout

Denver has no answer for NE tight ends...
Well to be fair

We can’t really talk lol

we have flowers. He's good enough
He doesn't guard TEs
he needs to learn
That makes sense
yes. Let's have the chiefs against the pats

sorry flowers no WR. Have fun

I don't get where you're even trying to go with this

Flowers would get demolished by Gronk

A bigger guy must match up with Gronk....

not the 187 lb Flowers. If Safety help did their job we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

Right

DJ/Berry

Or the D Romeo used against Gates
so you would basically have flowers standing around doing nothing against the pats?
There's this guy named Welker

Maybe you’ve heard of him.

what's your point? Don't train flowers?
Train him to do what?

Grow 6 inches and gain 75 pounds?

grow him to stop being a bitch and cover
This guy

Your just arguing just to argue. The man had a great year. Covered and played the run very well. Tired of arguing with you.

How many CB's cover TE's?

It’s generally a safety or a linebacker. Flowers would be working on Welker/Edelman/whoever the Pats other WR’s are.

helps when we have a safety back there not named pasta puttanesca
Pope's a pass catchin, hard blockin stud fool...
Hernandez running off-tackle?
Well this is going to ugly it appears
so

How many draft picks would it take to get Brady from them cause I would be all for that trade

All of our picks for the next 2 drafts, the entire KC cheerleading squad, KC Wolf, and our best janitor
ha!

not Scruffy!!

Scruffy's not worried

Scruffy’s far too valuable to the organization to be traded for a QB.

wtf

you would trade KC Wolf?

i can’t believe I’m reading this. he is the soul of our team.

done

It would be worth it

LOL you mean all our draft picks for the next 10 years
I'm not willing to part with the cheerleaders
Wow that Ozzie commercial was different
i say again

i want another good TE (and ok a hall of fame QB would be peachy too)

Moeaki has been pretty good for us so far.
that's 1. We need another
I'd say it's 0.75, he's going to miss games every year,
he just needs to stay healthy is all..
We got the pope..
9 penalties

this year tho. gronk and hernandez only have 8 between them this year :D

I would totally spend a 3rd rounder on a TE

That’s a hell of a catch for a te

it's a he'll of a catch for anyone
Tebow may have a problem today..

Jesus was at the Saints game today…

Tebow

0-1, 1 fumble

What does elway do with a kid that can...

Single handily win or lose a game for you. And does both regularly.

I hope elway enjoys heartburn.

What do we do with CASSEL?
Why is cassel in conversation man
He is your chiefs starting OB.....
Says........

?

the past 3 years
or do you have amnesia?
He said IS, not WAS

Helps to read, you can read right?. He was implying he will be, which isn’t 100%.

Make em earn his paycheck
trades up in the first round to draft Tannehill
The Bronco fans I talked to were pretty confident about their D tonight

the common words I heard were: “Dumervil” “Miller” and “Bailey”

Bailey and ish…

Miller will be good but he’s just a damn rookie.

Sounds like 2/3 of the Chiefs D next year, Gabe Miller, Allen Bailey
I think Tannehill will be around in the 2nd round
Do we see Brady Quinn at some point this game in the Broncos have to go full pass mode?

How great would that be!

wow

Sims just said that was a perfect throw. It was below his knees

he's a terrible commentor, I've learn to tune out the sound of his voice

Pheel Seeeeims

Simms is thinkin about the Giants game tommro
What in the world TOM???
Haha.

Brady threw an INT.

only did that so that the NFL can keep the game close

otherwise people would start changing the channel

Yes, Simms, I'm sure that's going to take some confidence away from the NE offense....
The heavenly beings have finally arrived in New England from San Fransisco
Yep, I believe you are correct
Jesus Christ..........
So what is Brady?

the Devil?

Lucifer. Before he was cast to hell by Tim.

Had a smoke break.
yeah, they must have stopped at the moon to re-fuel, it took them almost whole 1st quarter to arrive
That just shows how bad he is

When Jesus gets more credit than him

apparently only 43% of the US population
Holy Moses......
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Did you guy's know that Jeremiah was a bull frog..
but he was a good friend of mine
Yea, he always had some mighty fine wine too!
so wait, if you help push a RB into the end zone, that's unnecessary roughness?
i retract my statement
hmm

now I want an OG that can push like that :)

You will, we are going to draft one named Decastro..
i would not be upset

by that

yes to protect peyton manning when manning plays for kc
I hope McGahee has a Thomas Jones-type drop off from this year to next
While Tebow plays over there?

No way

Shouldn't he be thrown out?
Nah...he didnt stomp anyone out
he was trying to get some guy's arm off his leg
maybe

The guy was trying to untie his shoes lol

I would tie them together
Ok

Just turned to it and heard stomp

gunther wouldn't approve of that
should have been
wait, so throwing short passes to the side or in the middle makes you an elite QB?
Cassel must be elite
all I see from brady is side passes, short pass through the middle, and a couple of 8+yards passes

that’s not very elite

Its elite to the media
did you just say Cassel throws at defeet?
pioli's plan

so apparently the 49ers proved you can win a playoff game with a good, not great, quarterback, a great defense, and great special teams against an explosive offensive team. this gives credability to pioli’s plan to create an elite defense and a good, not great, offense in the age of great qb play.

The question is can you win multiple playoff games, leading to a Superbowl win.

winning 1 SB is good enough
While we are alive? Definitely
if I can see one SB win in my lifetime, good enough
try being a chief fan in the 80's when u knew u had no shot at winning

marv levy was the man though

It’s a start for sure. Give us something to hold onto for the next 43 years.

Alex Smith made some clutch plays I dont see Cassel making.....

He threw long bombs…Cassel cant do that

Exaclty. Smith threw 4 TD and 327 yds. He played great, not just good today. Chiefs don't have anyone on the roster that can do that
according to APers, orton is our brees
orton i best option at the moment, it would be crazy not to try and resign orton
our
i rather draft a QB
would u take peyton manning if healthy
how healthy? brees healthy?
medically good to go for 3 or 4 years
He can throw high though..
draft yao ming. Let's win us a SB
He's gunna need to bulk up hardcore
Hell we need Mr Fantastic from the Fantastic 4 to catch some of Cassel's passes

stretch armstrong

With that weak knee?

No, thanks, he would only play like one or two plays a season…tops! Besides, he hasn’t helped the Houston win anything anyway.

I knew the 49ers could do it

only two more teams i don’t like need to be eliminated. too bad they are playing each other right now.

Ravens vs. Packers in the superbowl

I could see the Texans playing the Ravens close tomorrow….

replace packers with 49ers and ravens with houston
i think

Texans beat ravens then pats beat Texans

The Denver WR's are probably thinking about their next move in Words with Friends

because they dang sure aren’t planning on any passes coming their way tonight.

and that

Would be why the option doesn’t work in the nfl

I guess they forgot to tell Tebow that...
I hope they keep Tebow for a while

We know how to defend the option and others will too

He isn't calling the plays...
Seemed to work pretty well at other times.
options are good when combined with the pass

the broncos are missing 1 part of this equation

Are you talking about Cassel again? (can't pass)
we play the option?
No, but Cassel can't pass..
More then 15 yards that is.....
O/T: Everyone remember last season's Denver game where there was some sort of equipment failure?

That was the shoodiest thing I’ve ever seen

I dont want to remember any Denver game from last year
Where do you get a Rob Gronkowski at?

I wouldn’t mind having one or two.

look at fast food resturants
NE needs a WR to run some deep routes

I guess B. Llloyd might follow McD there next year though

keep running Hernandez
GRONK!
And KC passed on him in the draft too :-(
Every team passed on him in the draft.

Including New England.

they need to put tebow in as a DL

he’s the only one big enough to tackle gonk

Who's this Gronkowski guy? He's pretty good
Gronkowski pushed off there.

You get away with that when you're the greatest TE of all time

strange how tony G can't do the same
u are the gm you got the first pick in the draft and u need a qb badly is it

luck or RG3 you take and why

Luck
why

All the pro’s agree he is the best prospect to come along in over a decade. RGIII does have some question marks. Size and durability?

i trade it to KC

and resign Peyton

Luck is almost the prototype

but i’d be tempted to take Griffin

Are you kidding me? There's a John 3:16 commercial on during the game?
yeah, that took me by surprise too
Are you against that?
Lets not start a religion debate
he's against supporting families
I think it's more about advertising dollars, how you want to spend them, and if there's a freedom of speech.
hmm ok

But he did have a point

That it's wrong to talk about God during a football game?

Pretty asinine point.

I think people just get sick of Tebow saying it constantly.

“Hey Tim, how’s the weather in Denver?”
“Well first, I’d like to thank my personal Lord and savior”

That wasn't Tebow.

But I think that says more about you people than it does Tebow.

You feel a bit of conviction when people talk about Jesus?

This proves that people just don't like Tebow's Christianity.

It is about God, not anything else.

I don't care if Tebow's a Scientologist

I was tired of hearing about him before he even entered the NFL. Too much hype around anyone leads to some turning on them.

welcome to luckmania

he isn’t even in the NFL and he’s automatically the next drew brees

I thought he was the next Peyton Manning.
I'm tired of hearing you complaining about that.

Is that valid?

Bossman

I am a Christian…But I feel like the NFL centers too much on Tebow’s religion…..

I feel you focus too much on them focusing on his religion.

It’s not a valid complaint. That’s my point.

Are you serious......

They talk up Tebow like he wins all their by himself! Give credit to Prater! Give credit to the defense! It isnt just Tebow!

I hear them give credit to Prater and the defense all the time.

And I do too. Is it wrong to recognize when Tebow does good things.

Who gives em credit?

When they win, it’s Tebow, when they lose it’s cuz of Fox,McCoy,the defense, no Brian Dawkins, suns too bright and THEN they get to Tebow

No it's not.
I don't see what's strange about that

when the chiefs win, it’s the D and CJ
when the chiefs lose, it’s cassel even if he threw 500 yards, 16 td, and no INT

I work the night shift

So I get home every morning to catch all the bullshit. That’s exactly their list.

Honestly

Go look at the end of the game when he kneels down. He peeks up, sees the camera, and goes right back down. It’s turning into an act now. Can’t stand it. And didn’t god not like people doing this kinda stuff in public in the first place?

Oi.

Whatev dude. If it makes you that insecure, you have the right to be as such.

What in the world are you talking about

When your playing to the camera doing shit like that, it’s over the top and just hilariously stupid. Not insecure about anything at all.

dude, yeah right

if some QB so openly talked about his Muslim faith, how do you think he would fare in the American media? to act as though Tebow is persecuted because of his Christianity is ridiculous.

You people?
Whatchoo mean you people?

The people who make a big deal about Tebow loving Jesus. Yes.

I think the people complaining about people complaining

far exceeds the people actually complaining.

Got that?

I think you just gave me herpes
Hey, you just complained about people who complain about people that complain.
all of you shut up

and by you people, you know what I’m talking about

I did?

I thought I was making a point, not complaining.

You were..................

and I would like to discuss footbal

I’m scratching my head too

it means minorities, there I said it
compared to RG3 thanking god?
Why are you trying to start something.

When was the last time you saw something like that during a playoff game. I believe that was his point.

Not for or against, just blantant advertising based on Tebow and his stats last game

so I guess I am against it then when it’s aired during a Tebow game and wasn’t shown during the 49ers-Saints game. Coincidence? Obviously not

I actually thought it was a Tebow commercial at first

But it was a nice one from children

probably because you pay for time slots. So it's not coincidence, just paid advertisement
it's better than Geico commericals with the caveman
I trade for Matt Cassel
Holy Moses......
LOL at the option
Darron Thomas is entering the draft.

Bad idea.

drafting a franchise QB

so easy, a caveman could do it.

Not while drafting at 11

Agreed, but we will likely be drafting in the 20’s next year…

Trading out of the #1 pick?
So when the Chiefs don't draft one this year, can there be more QB's available next year than teams that will need to draft one?

At some point the rest of the league must have a QB they like

where pioli in that equation
We did draft a QB last year
Unless we improve the line it makes no difference who our OB is if you ask me...
yeah O line is a must

New center for sure

what's an OB?

obese boob?

LOL i did not see that
It's a Orderback silly man..
sweet, free popcorn
I love how Simms wont even criticize Tebows play

Douche

he can do no wrong
2/7 for 18 yards

And not a peep

He is a Tebow groupie
heah

He can hand it off with the best of them

We he misses wildly on the 3rd down

he “made a good throwaway.”

It was beautiful
After seeing the non-impact Baldwin made this year, I wish Pioli had of made the deal with NO to get their 2nd rd last year and 1st rd this year

Could have had two 1st rd’ers this year to trade up for a QB and still got a decent WR in rd 2 with the NO pick

Did NO want to do that?
yeah, they ended up doing that deal two or three picks later with NE since KC said no and they drafted Ingram
Ouch

I mean I hate the woulda coulda shouldas, but that would’ve been sweet right about now.

yeah, especially since Torrey Smith would have still be sitting there in rd 2 with the NO pick and an extra 1st this year

I sure hope Baldwin turns into an All-Pro…

Baldwin has some poor QB play......
And a poor RB decision(thanks TJ!)
Baldwin had a lot of things going against him this year
atleast resign orton, u would atleast have good trade bait for other teams if u want to trade him

orton a good insurance policy right now, and the starter for kc if resigned

I think the Chiefs would, but does Orton want to come back?
who's his agent?
i heard it was the same one as cassels
yeah it is
you would think there's some kind of conflict of interest or something
geez, the agent won't want him to sign in KC, he'll steer him somewhere else so he can get 10% of two starting QB's contracts
it would be better to trade cassel

maybe to the jets

They already have a younger version of Cassel
that denver line is porous
The Denver QB is porous
YES THE BLOWOUT IS ON
Tebow time........NOT!
I'm still waiting to see the Denver D I was promised from numerous Denver fans
They must be good kool-aid makers in Denver, too
the mile high is getting to those donkey fans
They ment see the Denver D get beat up by NE tight ends....
Let us all bow our heads and giggle......
i hope they put up 80 on the donkeys
I said all week the Pats should be worried

Their Run D has been way better than expected.

Worried?

Tom >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tim

and just think

Coming out of college all the experts said Brady had a weak arm and couldn’t make the throws wow were they ALL wrong

They said the same about Cassel too....
Wow, were they ALL wr...

hey, wait a minute. Are you trying to trick us?

I never heard that, I head he had one of the slowest 40 times and worse vertical (24 in) for a QB in the history of the combine and wasn't athletic

He could make all the throws

Because running fast in a straight line and jumping high in the air

is real important when it comes to playing QB in the NFL.

just watched a show on nfl network

Last night about Brady and before the draft they were all saying that. Only good thing they said about him was he was smart

And he was going to marry a hot model.
yeah they said the same thing about montana

they both got heart

how did the niners game play out?

i only saw the first quarter.

Game of the playoffs
damn parents just had to come and visit during the playoffs

was it wild?

Hey I had to listen to the last part driving in traffic

Instant classic. NFL network should have the replay on tues

One of the best playoff games I've ever seen

Was it wild? In the last 5 minutes of the game, Alex Smith led the Niners on TWO scoring drives. Never in a million years did I think I’d see that.

Neither did Mike Singletary.
well isn't that something

i knew the saints were going down. my dad said i was crazy.

If you get a chance, you should definitely rewatch it.

The first half was just as exciting as the second.

i had to leave

after the interception to the two yard line. i’ll try to re-watch it but my cable company is in a war with the nfl network, so i doubt i’ll see it.

LOL who didnt see this coming!
Denver, Tebow fans

that’s about it

Bronco fans

Apparently most Christians, and then Skip Bayless

Still early.

Remember, all Tebow does is just win.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcs8BFyKsFU&feature=channel_video_title
oh yes thats right

Man, I always respected Tom Brady and he got none during last week like the announcers said.

Gisele is just shakin' here pom-pom's right now....
Brady is showing the Bronco's what an elite QB...........

looks like

Wish we could say that about ours...
Elway's horse teeth are now starting to chatter.
That explains the earthquake warning I heard.
His dentist should be happy
If by happy

you mean set up for retirement from one mouth, I agree.

x

What's with the two Elway pictures?
That's a good picture of Julia Roberts!
Which one is Elway?
Twins..................
Where is wilber when you need him...
I want to see CBS pan to a shot of the long face on Elway
Do we get to see Brady vs. Brady in the second hafl?
Radio broadcast

starting to talk about Brady Quinn

National radio?
I am assuming so

I am listening on 810 in KC

Shannon Sharpe has a sad
language skills?
vocal coach?
they have those?
is he going to start singing since he can't speak?
oh, that's horrible...lol
wrinkle on the side of his head?
True story.
@stevemaneri: We should be in this game right now
@Anthony_Becht
If u caught a few more balls, we might have been lol
He should of said block on field goals
Ha nice!

We really should. But hey, we didn’t take care of shit, so gotta live with it. We got some hungry guys comin back next year!

And lets hope they score more points too!!
We will

I already said book it, if Orton starts, upgrades on the OL and getting JC/Tony back, and re-sign Bowe<—-top 10 offense!

you might be crazy

but i’ll take it.

Orton is laughing right now
and so is mcnugget
He shouldnt be because he didnt win a playoff game
So who is the Chiefs' OC going to be.................
I'll do it

Got my madden playbook ready to go!

Ronald McDonald

why not?

Well, he does wear red and gold..........
Exactly!
-

He can be the Special teams coach.....
If that clown bring that kind of attitude to KC

then we are golden ;p

Reminds me of Richardson on the sidelines last year.
LOL.....good one..
how about the hamburgler
who do u want as oc lady chief

how about al saunders

Rick Perry..
He won't be busy next year.
Down 28 & still running the option

wow

Built-in excuses coming, watch
Quite simply: The Broncos are turrible.
Just turrible

knuckleheads

thats all they have
down 28 and no brady quinn
They believe Tebow will provide..........
All he does is just win.
no player has ever wanted to win more
The Denver don't want to anger the "Tebow"
Daaaaaaamn running the no-huddle on em?
Are you surprised

Didnt you watch our game against them?

New thread is up.............
Love it

Put 60 on em!

And the Angel's wept thru out the land....
ok

How many times are they allowed to fake injuries to keep them from the hurry up offense

mc hoodie running it up on the donkeys
I was planning on going to bed...It is 430

but this is too much fun to watch
