    This is what happens when we play aggrasive football. Steelers had two or three big plays but thats what happens when a team plays aggrasive. I hope they keep it up for next saturday.

  3. strandoftds says:

    Ive been saying all along that Tim Tebow is the starting QB of the Denver Broncos. I made up my mind along time ago and have stuck to my guns.

  4. strandoftds says:

    Make up your mind, is Tebow the starting QB or not?

  5. LordOfOrange says:

    Tebow will start next year no doubt about it. He’s going to train his progression training in the offseason as well as his ability to read D. With another pass rusher in the Dline and a few more talented receivers NEXT YEAR WILL BE ORANGE CRUSH ALL THE WAY TO THE SB!!

    Oh my, I had to WORK instead of watch the game. I got a text saying the game was goin to overtime and my heart dropped. I knew we were up 14 earlier and I thought momentum would carry the Steelers through cause I knew Big Ben was clutch. A few minutes later my phone started blowing up in my pocket and my boss was speaking with me so I could’t look… I didn’t want to look, I was scared. We don’t have that kind of big play ability. And BAM!!! DT comes through with the play of the year. I know he is good and I have been waiting for 2 seasons now to see our Marshall replacement do it. Tell me he didn’t look like the beast throwing the corner to the side and running it in. I also have been telling people I WANT THE PATS. They got lucky we threw them the game last time and I want them in their house, I want them begging for mercy as our running game punches them in the throat over and over again… slowly marching it down their gullets as Brady watches helplessly as his season is all for naught. Then I want that T sizzle mofo and watch as Tebow shuts his mouth the same way we just shut up the steelers. Good night… Great night.
