So. Why is this game being announced by a televangelist? Shouldn't that be scheduled for tomorrow on CBS?

See? Unnecessary roughness: removing the receiver's head, fifteen yards. Why is that a lesser offense? That poor receiver isn't a GOP presidential candidate. He actually needs his head.

I completely agree with pretty much everything you said. I just told a fellow Skins fan at the bus stop this morning that I am loving the post season without stress (as I pretty much have been for the past 20 years).I didn't watch all of every game, but I enjoyed what I saw. I absolutely loved the first half of the Steelers/Broncos game. From what I saw, Tebow played better than anything I had seen prior. I don't think he's a good quarterback, but I also appreciate that he's pretty much a rookie. I think his full potential has yet to be determined. I had to go to a baseball league meeting at 7, and we could only see bits and pieces through a closed door. I thought, in the end, the Broncos deserved to win. Samboobree, brought to life by Arkie

The best part may have been everyone simultaneously rooting for the ball to stick that exact landing -- including the announcing team. Football doesn't quite have the built-in goofiness of some other sports, and the moments when the surreal decides to cooperate are a little bit precious.

Given the non-quality of the zebras we were forced to watch, it's safe to say wisdom had absolutely nothing to do with it. There were some horrible calls this weekend, along with a number of equally-putrid non-spots and 'I didn't even know they wore facemasks that could be grabbed.' If that was a preview of what we're up against for the rest of the postseason, then Tubya's deity has switched from hardening hearts to obscuring eyesight.

39. "Next weekend's Vegas lines." |
I generally don't pay much attention to these (as evidenced by my game pick history), but I'm posting the opening ones because it shows where the enticement begins. 'Come and get it -- surely the miracle will happen again... surely...' (If you're a Christian in an anti-gambling subsect, do you get an exemption for this?) As always, the lines will shift depending on where the money lands over the next few days.Saints over 49ers by 3.5. (High-powered offense doesn't do as well on the road and San Francisco has a decent defense, so it's seen as more of a dogfight.) Patriots over Broncos by 13.5. (Too many weapons, too much experience, and Hoodie will redecorate the visitor's locker room in Early Satanist.) Ravens over Texans by 7.5, (Backing a third-string quarterback on the road, even against the ongoing no-safety-measures roller coaster that is the Ravens attempts to score, just doesn't feel like a solid bet.) Packers over Giants by 8.5. (Packers are viewed as a clear favorite with a vastly superior offense, but fear of seeing Rodgers on his back about a dozen times keeps this in single digits.)

40. "RE: Next weekend's Vegas lines." |
As a matter of habit (coming from FF, pick 'em pools, and sheer mathematical interest that has me reading The Smart Money at the moment), I check these lines as soon as they come out.What's interesting is how these lines move from the opening line, based not so much on whether the lines makers got it right or recent player news as it is based on public perception. After all, if the public is betting heavily on one side of the line, it's time for the bookies to adjust the line so that the bets are spread on both sides of the line. So far, the opening lines are holding except for the Packers, whose 8.5 line has dropped to 8.0 or 7.5, meaning the public bettors as a whole think this may be a closer game than the original line suggested. There's also a 52-point over/under which implies a high scoring game that could be volatile. I'm actually surprised the Pats line hasn't dropped as well, even with the 50-point over/under and the upset over the Steelers. It seems the bettors haven't quite bought into the Tebowmania where it really counts -- with cash.

The bettors look at New England's 41-23 victory at Denver, then they consider how things will be different when the same teams play at New England. Personally, I think 14 points is low, and if I were a betting man, I'd take the Patriots and give the points.

I think I'd join Max here... Hoodie is going to be making his players watch every offensive play by Denver from last weekend and he'll have a plan to contain Tebow. Pittsburgh was too arrogant and challenged Tebow to throw over them, that's why they lost.

49. "RE: Next weekend's Vegas lines." |
This could theoretically have an impact if Joe Philbin doesn't act as OC next Sunday, but I don't expect much if so. Coach Mike McCarthy is active for much of the play-calling and if it comes to it, Rodgers can almost do it on his own.From another article (ESPN): Packers players are off Tuesday and the team has no scheduled media availability. But in an appearance Tuesday morning on ESPN Radio's "The Herd with Colin Cowherd," linebacker Clay Matthews said the team will dedicate Sunday's divisional playoff game against the Giants to the Philbins. So far, there hasn't been any movement on the line based on this news either way, still holding at 7.5 or 8. My thoughts and condolences go out to the Philbin family in their time of tragedy and loss.

LAST EDITED ON 01-10-12 AT 04:58 PM (EST)The problem with the Pats D is that any QB worth their salt has been able to throw over them, whether they prepared for it in advance or not. From a FF perspective, playing a QB, WR or TE against the Pats was a goldmine, with them ranking almost last (31/32) in yards allowed (4,977) with 26 passing TD's. Granted, most of that comes from teams having to had play from behind and airing it out in an attempt to catch up, but that's where the danger lies with Denver. And the Denver D has been underrated for much of the season. They effectively covered Gronk and Welker last game, although Brady managed to get a TD each with Hernandez (who had a big game with 9 receptions) and Mr 85 on his lone reception. What killed Denver in their last meeting was the three fumbles, two in the second quarter. If Denver manages to protect the ball better this time around, it could be a closer game than some folks might expect. Recall that Denver jumped out to a 16-7 lead, chewing up the clock and keeping Brady off the field, before the game unraveled with the fumbles. I expect the Pats to win, but it might not be the cakewalk that a 14-point line suggests. A blowout is possible, but I think unlikely in this game.

50. "RE: Next weekend's Vegas lines." |
One of the fascinating sidepoints with the Patriots is that the team shuffled its defensive backfield for the game against the Bills. With the return of safety Patrick Chung, the Patriots started the game with Kyle Arrington and Antwaun Molden at CB and Chung and Devin McCourty at S, with Sergio Brown and Sterling Moore as the extra corners.After the third drive (all Buffalo TDs), the Patriots went back to playing slot WR/KR Julian Edelman (a college QB) at permanent nickel back covering the slot receiver and moved Molden, Brown and Moore into a rotation at the corners and dime position, while leaving Chung and McCourty alone. All at once, it worked, and the defense throttled Buffalo for the rest of the game. Right now, you have to think that Edelman will end up at full-time DB next year, the way that Chris Gamble ended up as a full-time DB in the pros after being a starting WR in college until he filled in as a nickel corner at Ohio State due to injuries -- and was key to the 2002 OSU national championship team as a result. Gamble's now played for 8 years in the pros, all with Carolina, and he's probably the best corner in the league that no one talks about. But it wasn't until his third year that it was certain that he wouldn't end up back on offense. Even though Edelman is finishing his third year in the pros, which makes him about five years of development behind Gamble, I'd be surprised to see Edelman as an offensive player from here on out. Solid DBs are just too valuable in today's NFL. The Patriots also used WR/ST/KR Matthew Slater at S this year, but he didn't have nearly the impact that Edelman did. Now we Pats fans just have to hope that Edelman stays healthy the rest of the way.

51. "RE: Next weekend's Vegas lines." |
Right, about the change ups at CB and S with Chung back, one reason Fitzpatrick had a horrid game against them (4 INT's if I remember correctly) as he completely misread the coverage that didn't follow the previous game films. There was an article in SI that diagrammed the Pats passing D that week, the same site that showed the flaws in the Steelers coverage. I'll see if I can't dig it up... ah, here it is from SI's Chris Burke (who is great reading -- and viewing -- when it comes to game analysis).The problem was Ike Taylor really didn't have much help, either from the line to put pressure on Tebow or from the safeties when it came to covering Demaryius Thomas, who is a difficult match up for anyone given his size and speed. Burke's review of the Steelers schemes demonstrates pretty clearly how they got beat, time after time. No doubt Belicheck and D coaches will learn from that game film and not make the same mistake. I don't know the Pats coverage players well enough to say who'd be the best one to cover Thomas, but with Decker looking day-to-day, it shouldn't take much to remove the threat of the big play and force Tebow to nickle and dime it to get first downs, something he's not consistently good at. At any rate, I don't expect Belicheck to make the same mistake Tomlin did.
