I'm pretty shocked that the 49ers won, and by scoring a ton of points to do it. The Saints looked ready to win another ring.

Let's go Broncos!

Saints 49ers was perhaps the game of the playoffs. Aggressive play by both teams. The offensive playcalling by the 49ers was gutsy - the QB sweep for a TD, going for the TD instead of a FG. Great game.

Now to watch [expletive] Tebow weird [expletive].

Yeah, giving the ball to the Patriots offense in Foxboro when you win the coin toss might have been a little cocky.

A thing I see as key to Tebow offense (or any running QB) is whether offensive holding is going to be called. When a defensive lineman can't move laterally, they are being hold. That Tebow scramble before his fumble was case in point. holding galore not called.

I'm no coach, but I'd suggest better defense.

I know the Patriots are good, but one of the better defenses in the league looks pretty bewildered so far.

Umm...that's not a catch, it hit the ground and wobbled quite a bit. Officiating in the NFL continues to be awful.

I don't think Denver has allowed anything less than four yards so far.

Actually, Denves defense wasn't all that good this year.

It looked like a TD . his hands was under the ball. When ever someone hits the ground after making a catch, it's going to show at least some movement -especially in super slo mo. Regardless, not enough evidence to overturn.
