They certainly got plenty of credit from the announcers during the game. They have been very, very effective over the second half of the season.LJ;1045049 wrote:I think the ones not getting enough credit are the guys on his OL -

The Steelers were only #1 in pass D because they basically bum rush the QB every play. The OL's play is what made Tebow's performance possible. If the OL was just a step slow yesterday, things probably would have been very different. They deserve more credit than they are gettingCon_Alma;1045052 wrote:They certainly got plenty of credit from the announcers during the game.

I gave him props yesterday, said congrats Denver on the win. I don't hate Tebow, the nuthuggers make it impossible to cheer for him. Like I said, below average player who gets all the pub, sickening.Rotinaj;1045047 wrote:Lol. Can't even give the dude some props after throwing for 316 against Pitt in a playoff win. As much as some people are on his jock like crazy u are equally annoying. -

This is what bothers me most about the Tebow nuthuggers, they are blind to the other facets of the game. They truly feel that Tebow won all those games by himself while doing nothing for 55 minutes and playing abysmal. The Oline is outstanding, both run blocking and pass blocking. Also the defense was lights out in almost all of those games to even give Denver a CHANCE to win the game.LJ;1045067 wrote:Everyone acting like Tebow did everything on his own -

I can't think of a single person aside from skip bayless who gives tebow all the credit. Everyone I hear mentions all parts of the team. -

We clearly see it differently. I think those people you are referring to are simply chest thumping after the verbal whipping they took for weeks before this game.LJ;1045067 wrote:Everyone acting like Tebow did everything on his own
I haven't seen people say that he did it on his own as much as them stating what he did do. -

In retrospect, not a surprise, though. Pittsburgh was with their third and fourth DEs and third-string NT and one of their main pass-rush LBs wasn't all good. I think LeBeau's done so good as DC for them that, at times, we think that the team can do anything to anyone under any situation. Last night, they did good on run defense, but had nothing as far as a pass rush. No pass rush means their CBs are fucked, since none of them are lock-down guys. And without Clark in the secondary (team's leading tackler), there's less room for error. I really don't know why I was so confident before the game. You only can go so far when you're that banged up as a team.LJ;1045054 wrote:The amount of time he had on almost every play was infuriating -

Denver has the 20th ranked defense and no one has ever said it was all Tebow. I never hear anyone talk about the Saints O-line just Brees. I never hear anyone talk about the Packers O-line just Rodgers, I never hear anyone talk about the Pats O-lne just Brady.robj55;1045075 wrote:This is what bothers me most about the Tebow nuthuggers, they are blind to the other facets of the game.

They did have a lot of folks on the sidelines that would normally be in there. Pretty beat up team yesterday.Heretic;1045085 wrote:In retrospect, not a surprise, though.

Ryan Mundy couldn't even cover a RB running an out from the backfield. Testament to how bad the defensive backfield wasHeretic;1045085 wrote:In retrospect, not a surprise, though.

Too bad Green Bay couldn't overcome leading the league with the most guys on injured reserve last year to win the Super Bowl. Oh.....Con_Alma;1045094 wrote:They did have a lot of folks on the sidelines that would normally be in there. Pretty beat up team yesterday. -

GB wins the Super Bowl with their back-ups and its superior depth. Pittsburgh loses to an 8-8 team with some people injured and it's they were missing too many players. smhCon_Alma;1045109 wrote:The teams with superior depth can as Green Bay did. -

Are you suggesting they weren't? They didn't have the depth to compete with Denver yesterday. Do you think that's not true?Skyhook79;1045114 wrote:GB wins the Super Bowl with their back-ups and its superior depth.

That was my point. Pittsburgh, historically, has been a "superior" team. You could tell throughout this season they didn't have that "it" factor like they've had in years past. Exceptional/championship caliber teams will overcome this type of adversity. They weren't a championship caliber team this year.Con_Alma;1045109 wrote:The teams with superior depth can as Green Bay did. -
