Seems like the Bucs are having the same type of seasons Cincy had in 09 and last season. 09 we go 10-6 and win the division, the next season everyone expects a Super Bowl contending team aaaaaaand not so much..

That's pretty much it exactly. lol. Maybe not Super Bowl but I thought they were perfectly capable of making the playoffs. And to be honest I still think they are capable. There's been so many injuries this season eliminating key players. Self inflicted wounds are the biggest factor.

In this game today alone we had two failed onside kick attempts that both lead to scoring drives, an unblocked rusher to the punter on the first 4th down of the game who could have easily tackled the punter but instead let him get away for the first down, a dropped two point conversion attempt that would have tied the game, one touchdown called back on an offensive pass interference, several red zone penalties on both sides of the ball. Just can't win games like that.

elway still not emracing tebow like the future of the broncos; he might get traded so that elway can pick a qb of his own...

Unless the Broncos make the playoffs, I don't have any believe that Elway wants to keep him around, they'd rather draft Landry Jones from Oklahoma or Robert Griffin form Baylor.

John Fox needs to tell Elway to keep him in until playoff time and see how things go.

Broncos released Orton.. lol..

I know Elway has some kind of hard on for Quinn, so we'll see how that goes.

I guess Orton missed his Tim Tebow worship meetings before games.

Am I the only that can see Kyle Orton back in Chicago? I thought I was crazy till I saw a poll on Espn.com about it.

Cutler's out so that's a possibility...

Looks like it might happen

Kyle Orton to Kansas City.

KYLE ORTON HAS JANUARY 1ST CIRCLED AND BOLDED ON HIS CALDENDAR, Broncos fans.

Reports say he miht not show up though. (iirc he wants to be in Chicago)

in other news, im waching nfl live on espn right now and i loled at steve young being so emotional about fat rex ryan joking about mark sanchez (i think he's benching him for mark brunell this week) but i kind of get his point

as a quarterback, you want to feel safe and you're the most important person on the team. because you run the offence and motivate the defence. defensive head coaches don't give two shits about quarterbacks. it's just some other position for them... like a placekicker or something to toy with.

The Houston Texans are falling apart. Down to their 3rd string QB and Arian Foster fumbling the ball a lot.

Andy Dalton=Rookie of the fucking year. I don't give a shit if Newton throws for 500 yards his next game if Dalton doesn't get ROTY it is BULLSHIT.

Derp Arizona is 3-1 without Kevin Kolb and starting John Skelton. Beanie Wells ran for 227 yards today.

What happened to Kolb?

A turf toe injury kept him out, although I'm not understanding why he's missed 4 games because of it, but I'm not complaining because he's overrated.

Matt Leinart out for the season for the Texans with a broken collarbone.

Wow thats lame for Leinart. Was having a good game too. That is some shit luck..

There has been some terribly missed calls by the ref's on both sides of the ball in this Broncos game... didn't get a call on the broncos side when Tebow got face masked, and then when half the defense on the broncos jumped offsides, they didn't call that either. And just recently they blew a obvious pass interference call.

Norv Turner & the San Diego Chargers are absolutely pathetic, what kind of fucking playcalling was that by running it on 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd down when it was a 50 yard field goal to begin with.

Decent performance by Tebow, but Chargers lost this game more than the Broncos won it.

We probably should of lost in OT multiple times, the Chargers shot themselves in the foot there. but I think on both sides, they just played good hard defense in regulated time, more than Chargers giving up the game.

Tebow just keeps winning... I love it.

Uh yeah, seeing some of the worst QB playing I've ever seen in my life right now by Tyler Palko. That is pathetic. Hes thrown 2 picks DIRECTLY to the Steelers and also fumbled. All in one fucking quarter basically. Chiefs have outplayed Pitt but because there QB is an incompetent fucktard they're gonna lose this game.

So why aren't they playing Orton? if they said anything on the broadcast about it, I didn't hear it because I'm listening to the Grey Cup.

No idea..

He's only had 2 practices to adjust to the offense and playbook. KC figures that throwing him into the fire would just be like what happened to Carson Palmer in his 1st start, probably not any worse than Palko though...
