Playoffs Thread - Denver V New England (1 Viewer)

For serious now: If Green Bay, New Orleans, or New England were down 3+ touchdowns in the third quarter, they'd have a puncher's chance at a comeback. Denver has none, and it's because Tebow cannot reliably throw a football well over the span of a quarter let alone a game. They have three times as many negative plays as they have completions. He's a good story; but that's about it.
You named the 3 best QBs in the NFL. Do the other 29 have much of a shot? I know Tebow's having a terrible game but he could have put up Brees numbers and would be losing. When is the last time an NFL team won a game when they allowed 50 points?
I probably could have gone a lot deeper than the top 3. The point is he doesn't possess the skill set for engineering a comeback of more than 2 TDs. Yet he's being talked about incessantly like he's some sort of second coming (pun intended) and he's just NOT THAT GOOD yet.Part of the reason that the Broncos have allowed the number of points they have is that their offense can't stay on the field, in large part because of Tebow's inability to engineer a drive; when you are relying on a QB to run and create because he can't reliably pass the ball and the run game is nullified, your D is gonna be on the field a lot and they're going to get tired.Nice catch by Thomas there.
He's one of if not the worst in the NFL at engineering comebacks of mroe than 2 TDs. Then again that's probably not very important since they don't happen much.Denver's defense really is that bad. Whenever they play an NFL offense they allow a million points. When is the last time they shut down a good offense? I just looked they played 5 games against top 10 offenses they shut down SD 1 time. But in those 5 games they allowed 180 points or 36 ppg. They were terrible against good offenses.

C'mon, the Denver D manhandled the powerhouses of KC, Mia, Chicago, SD once. That D is good. Or maybe they were just playing a bunch of hack teams during tha win streak.
 
I can't think of a worse playoff performance than this Denver effort.
Giants 41-0 game, seemed that one was over a few minutes into it.The 55-10 Super Bowl also up there.
Ok let's go with worse QB performance.
Probably not.
41-0 not worse? "Culpepper was held to 78 yards passing and threw three interceptions."
Right, I'm saying this is probably not the worst QB performance in playoff history.
