NFL Divisional Weekend: Three good games, one more round for Tebow, and Zombie Schottenheimer

[Chun Liroy]

Only big games are the ones he doesn't win.

[Man0warr]

Dude, he's 1-3 in the playoffs with an 80.8 passer rating, don't try to pump him up like he's a "big game" guy.

also the 2007 packers/cowboys game was @Dallas.

And? Except the bobbled snap vs the Seahawks (and they wouldn't have even made it to the playoffs that year until Romo took over for Bledsoe), none of those losses fall on Romo. He's continually been let down by his receivers (Crayton, multiple times in one game), defense, offensive line, or all 3 in the playoffs. Even Rodgers couldn't have won vs the Vikings in 09 with Jared Allen raping him every play after Flozell Adams got hurt.

Your right, he beat both Favre and Rodgers in Lambeau, in 2008. Got the years mixed up.

[Tweek]

rodgers would have ran for 200 yards if they pass pressed him like dat

Congratulations on winning huge games in week 2, 5 years ago.

[Tweek]

are you guys saying the games vs the giants weren't big games this year for Romo or that he played well in them? i honestly don't remember and missed most of the last game due to tron wedding stuff. not sure why they lost so i'm asking

[Dimmauk]

That's like being happy your NBA team is in first after 12 games AMIRITE!?

[Dimmauk]

Cowboys beat one team with a winning record? I don't know I was watching happy feet 2 all season.

I think with both Yates and Flacco you are hoping for the same thing - Dont F things up and let the running game/D win the game.

The Gaints had to fight their way into the playoffs and seem to be coming together as a team at the right time. Part of winning in the playoffs is playing at your highest level at the right time.

Flacco can throw better than Yates. Him to Torrey Smith is crucial, and a healthy Boldin which I don't think we will have for Sunday but next week.

Tebows

I would love to see the Saints lose, I just don't see it happening.

The Brees-Smith gap is just too great.

[Tweek]

Saints have never won a road playoff game in the history of the franchise (not including SB win at neutral site)

Drew Brees has never played like this in their history, either. Niners are done

also, Sproles and Jimmy Graham

[archibaldcrane]

Drew Brees has never played like this in their history, either.

um, you should check his 2009 numbers. Better YPA, better passer rating, barely worse (former record) completion percentage, same INT%, just didn't have nearly the # of attempts (143 fewer attempts).

of course he won the superbowl that year but yeah

[archibaldcrane]

all 3 of 'em?

Saints never won a Superbowl till '09 yet that didn't seem to stop them.

[Tweek]

yes all 3 of them.

will be a fun game on sat. SF has nothing to lose really, we're the underdog @ home at the end of the day it was a good turn around season with a great rookie coach.

Would think it would be pretty devastating for N.O. to lose to an NFC West team coached by a rookie in the playoffs back to back years when they were favored.

Romo played better than Eli in the first meeting and played admirably while being sacked 30 times.

They've got everything to lose? They're out if they don't win.

is that how playoffs work?


i'm saying it's not like losing this game all of a sudden means the entire season was a waste. shit, we got a new coach and are trying to get better of which a lot of progress was made. most didn't expect us to even win the lolwest
