I know this is nit-picky, but if it's OK for a guy who doesn't even have a helmet on to run off the bench and jump into the touchdown celebration, then what constitutes an excessive celebration?
This has been a decent game so far. I just wish Peyton Manning wasn't officiating it.

Hmmmm ... quarterback in pocket ... ball knocked out of quarterbsck's hand ... other team recovers ... referees rule fumble ...
Seems pretty simple, doesn't it?

Peyton Manning will go down in history as one of the best regular season QBs in NFL history, but he is very beatable once the playoffs begin.

Wonder if Greg Gumbel knew how ironic he was being when he said "Ray Lewis lives to fight another day?"

If defense wins championships, it doesn't necessarily win divisional round playoff games.

I have a feeling our final four will be the Harbaugh brothers, Belichek and Pete Carroll. Oh joy.

I'll take any of the three over New England.
This is the part that really, really chaps me. The Patriots are now a news story instead just a sports story, and the bubble-headed bleach blonde who can't name one player on the team except for Tommy Boy Brady is making happy talk from the studio with the live shot reporter who is standing outside an empty and dark Gillette Stadium about how Denver losing today is good because "All we have to do is beat Houston tomorrow and we'll have home field advantage."
Does anyone have standards anymore?

Now the weather bunny is involved:
"Don't we want it cold if we're playing the Texans tomorrow?"
Because every player on Houston's roster grew up and has played his entire career in 100-degree Houston weather, just like every player on New England's roster grew up in New England and walked through 10 feet of snow to go to school every day.

Is it just me or is football getting boring?

Why did John Fox call for a knee with 30 seconds and three timeouts? And how was that first pick six not called pass interference. He pulled Decker's arm down as he was going for the ball.

The NFL isn't football. It's pro wrestling in longer pants.

"Why did John Fox call for a knee with 30 seconds and three timeouts?"Because John Fox is an idiot.
"And how was that first pick six not called pass interference. He pulled Decker's arm down as he was going for the ball."
Because New England doesn't get a home game if Denver beats Baltimore.

Curious about the Denver game.
I'm not one to take anything away from a guy making a play, but Flacco has 70 yards to go and about 50 seconds to do it.... I'm trying to understand in that situation how ANYONE gets behind coverage? I mean ... really? That's the kind of play that will get your defensive coordinator fired.

And remember, Peyton Manning isn't as clutch as Eli because his defense actually plays well in the playoffs. And because he throws dropped interceptions to Asante Samuel and helmet catches to David Tyree.

I had this conversation with a Patriots' fan on Facebook last night. It turns out Eli is "tougher" than Peyton.
