The Student of the GameGoing Beyond the Stats

Any NFL fan, be it casual or religious, knows the name of Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow. Forsaken as a guaranteed bust upon his drafting last year; Crucified as a quirky experiment when he was installed for QB Kyle Orton when the struggling Broncos named him the starter; he’s suddenly seen as a Mile-High Messiah going 3-1 as a starter going into this Thursday Night Game, keeping Denver in the hunt for the AFC East Division and revitalizing playoff hopes. However, the one ‘L’ that Tebow has endured was against a solid defense where the Detroit Lions feasted on a Tebow steak during the 45-10 route. This Thursday Night match up against the New York Jets represents the first time Tebow has faced a top-level “D” since. The Jets ‘D’, however, don’t have the same offensive support as the Lions and failed to score. Broncos win 17-13.

Wild Card Playoffs brought some beatdowns. Check out the SoTG and Weasel crushing some stats.

The buzz in this Monday night Match-up was dominated by talk of the New York Jets’ defense who’ve kept opponents grounded and the SpanAm subject QB Mark Sanchez, the kid they call ‘Sanchize’, as the apparent future and present of the Gangreen franchise. And in fairness the rookie, already ordained superstar by many (me included), had a solid night managing the game throwing 12 completions in 24 attempts for 50% with 172 yards and a TD representing his ‘nation’ well during the NFL’s Hispanic Heritage Night.

Some teams are real . . . Some teams a waste of time. Your guide to the Who's Who . . . The SoTG and Weasel.

Upsets, Surprises and Expectations about the NFL. And the SoTG are bringing all they can for the featured teams in week 2.

Who knew that surprise, disappointment, and mediocrity could live all in one place at the same time? With '1win' teams becoming '11 win' teams ('Phins) keeping other 11 win teams out of the playoffs (Patriots - who are usually a stable for post season play) whilst the other 2 teams quibble with consistency issues (Bills and Jets), there's no WAY it can happen like that again . . . can it? The SoTG and Weasel will let you know.
