2012 NFL Playoffs: Home Teams All Advance

in 2012 NFL Playoffs
Email
PrintThe first weekend of the 2012 NFL Playoffs has come to a close and all four home teams won. We had three favorites win and the underdog Denver Broncos stun the Pittsburgh Steelers on the first play of overtime. After three games of pretty blah football, the Steelers-Broncos wrapped up the weekend with some highly entertaining football. We had the first use of the new playoff overtime rules, but they didn't matter as Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas connected on an 80-yard strike to win it.
The close of the weekend means it is now time to get down to business. The 49ers will host the New Orleans Saints next Saturday at 1:30pm PT at Candlestick Park in the first 49ers playoff game in nine years. The 49ers opened as three points underdogs and the line increased a half point since yesterday. I don't expect it to change much more, but the Saints are the team most folks will be picking as we approach the weekend.
The rest of the playoff picture features some intriguing matchups. The other NFC divisional game will see the New York Giants travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers in a rematch of their wild Week 13 contest at the Meadowlands. The Packers are already approaching double digit favorite status.
The AFC features a pair of matchups that I think could end up being stinkers. The Denver Broncos will travel to Foxboro to face the New England Patriots, while the Houston Texans go on the road to face the Baltimore Ravens. My initial gut has the two AFC favorites winning and I actually would be surprised if the games were all that close. The Baltimore-Houston game could be closer simply due to the pair of solid defenses.
After picking the Broncos this weekend, I'm already leaning towards taking the Patriots next week. The Patriots defense is virtually non-existent, but that offense can be pretty filthy. They lit up the Broncos last month in Denver and for now I'm leaning towards seeing the Patriots handle their business. There is a lot of analysis to be done, but that's my initial thought.
Site decorum will remain off for this post-game thread (meaning, yes you can swear).

Differential Equations was alright, once we got into Eigenvalues, Power Series, and Laplace Transforms.
The first couple sections sucked though.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors weren't too bad. I still hated the class,
because i had to teach myself. My professor would always be late, or have subs, and he could barely speak English.

Oh, that sucks.
I had a pretty good professor. I’ve actually had really good professors for all of my math courses thus far. It kind of helped that I was taking Linear Algebra at the same time, as we had already discussed Eigenvalues and what-not in that class. Plus, we had already been exposed to Power Series in Calculus II, so that part was made much easier as well.

It's something to do with Abstract Algebra.
Like, representing group actions and whatnot in terms of either the Symmetric Group, or Matrix stuff. I’ve not really gotten into it yet, but it will likely be the topic of my seminar next year, so I’ll have to start reading through some textbooks about it next semester.

That kind of swing happens here all the time too
which is why I’ve avoided most of the game day threads this season
I don't understand why the Packers opened as double digit favorites,
if the Giants played them pretty close last time around and were dominant in their performance against the Falcons.
Affectionately,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
NBA’s All-Time Leading Scorer
on the road
packers had a week’s rest, rodgers had two weeks
they're trying to get as much action on the Giants as they are on the Packers
betting lines are pretty simple, the goal is to get half the money on each side so that the books take no risk and make a tidy profit with the vigorish.
It is surprising to me also that this opened as high as it did but it almost certainly will move down as the week goes along.

Dilfer already saying it's not Tebow but his playmakers.
The other disagree. Trent just shakes his head.
Dilfer just said he has High School QBs that can make those throws to receivers that open.
He’s a hater.
yeah
Tebow’s big throws were literally perfect. Guys were open, but Tebow looked like an excellent NFL passer most of the game.
I wouldn't go that far
he missed some wide open receivers. I’ve been saying this for a long time now—I think he can end up being a decent QB. He’s gotten better at throwing, he’s super athletic.
The Broncos absolutely can’t go looking for another QB in the off-seaosn
I think they should sign an established veteran
Even though it was the Steelers, who kept baiting Tebow to beat them in man coverage and he answered by calling deep throws and converting them, it’s the first game he even resembled an NFL QB. I wasn’t sure who I was watching at times.
How would you know ...!!

I was really hoping for some serious injury on Rapistburger during the last drive
leading to a strip sack and a run back for a td to end the game.
This way feels more satisfying to me.
I read it was a total team effort in this win
In past wins, yeah. Tebow won this game for the Broncos. With his arm. Wow. Outside of a handful of no-chance throws, he threw like an All-Pro
completing 47% of your passes is winning with your arm?
you guys crucify smith for completing less than 60%, even when he wins. Broncos won in spite of Tebow, not because of him. I’d be pretty pissed if I was Orton right now
I don't think salary cap is one of the people who talk about completion percentages
he’s also right—he is the reason the Broncos won this game.
define reason
I don’t think it was Tebow’s ability that led to the win, his team believed in him and played for him, and all knew their careers could take off by winning a playoff game.
They won it on Tebow's arm
not his leadership. Yeah the leadership has been the key in games past. In this one it was his arm
on ten passes, one of which was a crossing route, blown coverage that a WR took 65 yards on his own
come on, that has nothing to do with Tebow’s arm
This was the first game where they really
won BECAUSE of Tebow’s arm. Did you watch the game?
I don’t think 47 percent is good. I don’t think anybody does.
Well, he, in fact had his arm attached.
But he is really, really bad at throwing the ball. Obviously, he was good enough.
He's inconsistent at throwing the ball
sometimes he’s really, really good. Sometimes he’s really, really bad.
Of course it does.
The fact that a stopped clock shows correct time twice a day does not make it a good clock.
Only God has data on Tebow.
I was just watching a few of his games. He sucked at that passing thing IMHO.
I don't know how you could watch this game
and say Tebow’s an awful quarterback.
His play was good today, despite the horrible misthrow he exhibited. Like you said, he made the plays when needed though.
I did not say he is a bad QB. There is more to QB then just throwing well.
He is great at avoiding sacks. He runs well. He has an arm attached.
Fair enough
I think he can be good throwing the football.
He’s made a couple of throws that were really really nice. I think you’d chalk them up to dumb luck, but I disagree. Those were really nice throws.
Then he’d chuck one in the dirt 4 yards away from a WIDE open receiver. Frustrating.
Do I?
What does a realization that he is a decent quarterback who is the best that we have available and wishing him all the luck have to do with love?
I refuse to hate on my team and whine as you do, thread in and thread out. But I do know exactly what we have.

your comment = definition of hypocracy
9 for 20, 236 yards, 1TD and 1 rushing TD through 4 quarters of football. Horrible stats for a QB. Bronco’s receivers won this game, not Tebow.
No, think with an average QB they would have blown the steelers out
Tebow is way below average, and therefore they just barely won
With an average QB they would have lost
it was Tebow’s ability to avoid the sack and to connect when he needed to that allowed the Broncos to win.

He had a terrible completion percentage, that alone, doesn’t mean it was a bad game.

way better than his 2 for 8 win for sure
but that’s not saying much
I understand people wanting to take credit from Tebow on some of their wins throughout the year where the defense did most of the work or Matt Prater hit absurdly long FGs.
This was not that game. Credit where it’s due.
Attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. ~ Jack Harbaugh
You can't reason with a Tebow hater
Tebow clearly needs to do more work, but I think that he’s also come a long ways since he was made the starter and I stand behind my earlier statements that he can turn into a pretty good NFL QB.
I think it robs the Denver team of credit for everything they’ve been able to accomplish with a horrible QB at the helm. Thomas’ arm won that game, not Tebow’s.
No one is robbing the team of anything. Giving Tebow credit for making plays doesn’t have to involve discrediting the rest of the team.
Any 49er fan should recognize this team concept.
Attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. ~ Jack Harbaugh
it does when the game is won not by an 45 yard perfectly thrown pass into coverage, but a 15 yard pass on a normal route where the defense blew coverage and but for Thomas’s amazing stiff arm the game doesn’t end there.
Thomas won the game, not Tebow, but Tebow’s the center of discussion. Just ridiculous.
Tebow has missed throws like that all year long.
He put that one right on the numbers allowing for the YAC…Not sure how that doesn’t deserve at least some credit.
Attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. ~ Jack Harbaugh
It wasn’t an amazing throw, it’s a throw all third string QBs in the NFL can make regularly.
It was amazing that Thomas was able to create enough distance to make the catch, turn, stiff arm and take off to the sideline without being caught. That was incredible.
I doubt anybody will tell you that Thomas didn't make a great play
but to say that Tebow deserves no credit on that is simply going too far
fair enough
I give Tebow credit for making a pass UDFA rookie QBs are expected to make under tremendous pressure in an overtime playoff game.
whatever
it was still an amazing play to watch live on TV, especially since it led to a Steelers loss.
Yeah most qb make that throw
Except the defense doesn’t play that way against any other QB. Tebow brings a different dynamic to the the football game. Yeah Denvers defense played well, but the Steelers did as well… Tebow just made more plays. You sir are a hater.
Where did I say amazing?
He deserves credit for it. Sheesh.
Attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. ~ Jack Harbaugh
Thomas threw that ball to himself?
Right in the spot that it needed to be thrown at to allow him to get all that YAC?
His receivers don’t work in a vacuum.
that's because the vacuum is injured
as I said above, every NFL qb sitting on the bench is able to make that throw. It was the receiver’s effort that made a 15 yard completion turn into an 80 yard game winning TD.
Dude made plays all game
He drives them down for a 2 score lead if McGahee doesn’t fumble at the 30ish
The same Denver team that wasn't doing anything with
the previous “decent” QB at the helm?
Good grief.
doesn’t make Tebow a good QB, just a good motivator, by that logic, you think Singletary should have been their HC
The word "straw man" has been thrown around here a lot
but my goodness, that’s a pretty bad straw man there
I believe he had 316 yards
and was 10/21. Receivers got steps, but those money needed to be good, and many of them were literally perfect. I don’t believe Tebow is awesome, or even destined to remain a starter in this league for very long. But he made the kind of deep ball executions that I’ve been pleading to see from Alex Smith. He might get his opportunity this week, when the Saints, if they’re smart, will test Smith in a similar way Pitt tested Tebow, and even the Pats when the beat them. lots of crowding the line of scrimmage, tight man coverage that forces them to go over the top. That’s how I’d try to beat Smith. Take away the short stuff til he makes you pay.
well alex smith is different
he’s expected to complete 60% of his passes anyways because he’s your average NFL QB not Tebow who runs around and make miracles also Alex Smith SHOULD perform at a higher level when it comes to Passer Ratings because he was the First OVERALL pick in the 2005 draft so he’s got some expectations to live up to.

LMAO at ESPN NFL Live
Saying the Denver receivers are so wide open a high school QB could make the passes to them. I see Saints receivers wide open all day long and Brees has 2 minutes of protection from his line and they ESPN doesn’t say crap like that about him..
Over
Especially since Tebow's wrs weren't that wide open for the most part
and when they were he missed them.
Traditional football guys don’t like the way Tebow plays so they have to excuse it away.
But
Trent Dilfer has nothing to do with traditional football.

he does if "traditional" means
being a QB that is nothing more than a “game-manager.” That was the excuse that was used for him his whole career.

You can’t even just let a simple joke go without trying to start something.
Attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. ~ Jack Harbaugh
Just about everything he says is trying to start something.
It was only one or two more responses til Alex Smith was brought up.
I try to ignore him and he constantly responds to my posts with irrelevant nonsense taking the conversation in a different direction.
It was a simple joke, he wants to take it literally and turn it into a debate about Dilfer and his ‘game-management’ which was going to lead to Alex Smith.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I’ve seen it happen too many times.
Attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. ~ Jack Harbaugh
Tebow didn't even manage the game
his receivers bailed him out. Ten passes!!!! through over 4 quarters of football he only completed 10 passes!!! That not untraditionally good, that’s just proof Denver’s defense is awesome, it’s ground game is strong, and Denver’s receivers know they get one pass a game to try and make something happen
"critical lenses"
And “consistently bashing lenses” aren’t the same thing. Hard to sound “critical” when Alex is brought up no matter the topic.
We could be discussing recipes for BBQ chicken, and a few would find a way to bring up Alex and bash him. That’s why when you and a few others try to rationalize and say you’re being critical of the offense as a whole, nobody pays attention.

Who cares about how many he completes if he throws for 314 yards? If every other pass you throw goes for 30 yards and you dont throw any pics than who cares? Its pretty stupid logic. Yeah if he was 10 for 20 for 100 yards I would understand, but that wasnt the case.

Question:
Will McDaniels be on the Patriots sideline next week?
I think it’d be pretty ironic if Tebow’s team defeated McDaniels, who was one of the few guys who believed in Tebow enough to draft him!
Yes, on the sideline, or maybe up in the box
That would be a bitter irony.
Watch them shut down Tebow for like 50 yards a 3 picks lol

if we do not start quick against the Saints it is going to get ugly very quick. We CAN NOT stroll into halftime with a 6-0, ala Cardinals, St. Louis Rams regular season.

i know it's probably flamebait
but I think we can still have a reasonable discussion.
Tebow’s probably better at evading the sack. Alex is much better as a pure thrower, IMO.
Although both will do the ocassional “unbelievably bad throw”, Alex does it much less than Tim.
"unbelievably bad throw"
Alex has minimized those quite a bit.

If we do happen to lose Saturday, you can bow down to your God known as Drew Brees and try to convince us ou were right about Smith all along. Or something like that.
Keep telling yourself you’re equally critical of the entire offense, too. Don’t know why anybody would think ou bash only Alex…..

Steelers walked right into the trap
The Broncos let the media put all that Tebow bait out there and these prideful defenses can’t lay off of it.
There is no reason to put 10 men in the box ever against the Broncos. Who cares if Tebow and McGahee rush for a combined 250 yards, that will equal 17 points at the end of the game at best. Nope, the Steelers like a few earlier defenses let their pride get the best of them attempting to shut down the run game. They left one lone CB against a big, physical receiver like Demaryius Thomas and as soon he beats him 5 yards off the line Tebow can throw a simple lob pass for a completed bomb. Come on! This is the same feeble minded ploy Atlanta hooked Singletary getting Rodney White constantly over the top against slower Nate Clements.
Back off and let the Broncos try to run for 6-7 1st down per drive to score some points. Put 10 men in the box when the Broncos reach the 15 yard line, than the easy over the top lob passes isn’t an option. They gave the Broncos so many cheap, easy points.
Belichick won’t fall for this. He’ll give the Broncos a one or two man advantage in the box all game daring an old, beaten up horse like McGahee to beat him. Should be a blowout if Von Miller or Dumervil don’t snap Brady’s knee cap.
BTW
Atlanta was pathetic. Maybe the worst playoff performance I can remember in recent history. Mike Smith and that GM both ought to be fired. Piss poor trade and piss poor use/return on their talent.
