The Rose Bowl is over. Not the result I wanted. Next is the Fiesta Bowl. This may very well be Andrew Luck's last game before he goes to the NFL. I hope the Browns can trade for the #1 pick so they can select Luck.

Sorry, but that's pretty unlikely. Colts really need Luck, and I doubt that Cleveland can offer them something worthwhile.

What's your opinion of this controversy with the backup QB outing the Jets in the locker room? I think he's got the right idea, to call out people that don't care, but it seems like he went about it the wrong way.

I prefer the current number, but I'd rather they change the seeding. Instead of the division winners at 1-4 then the wild cards, I'd rather they just take the top 6 teams from each conference.

Houston plays its first playoff game tomorrow. I'm looking to see how they do the first time around. They enter on a 3-game losing streak, which is not the kind of momentum they desired entering the playoffs.

New Orleans is also the first 13-3 team to have to play in the wild card round since the 1999 Titans - you remember how they did?

Full confidence in the Saints on tomorrow. They haven't just been winning at home, they've been blowing the doors off of people. Nice season by the Lions but unfortunately their prize was a night game at the Thunderdome.

I'm interested to see who wins this one. Houston is handicapped, but Cincinnati isn't exactly a playoff level team.

I'm hoping New Orleans wins. I think they're the only ones that will be able to beat Green Bay.

the game that was supposed to be the closest out of the playoff games this week turns out to be a blowout. texans will lost next week though.

**deathseer** · 8th January 2012, 8:30 AM

Didn't get to see the rest of the game due to work. Happy to know the Saints won.

2 more games baby

**PsychicPsycho** · 8th January 2012, 8:59 AM

I was expecting Cincinnati to win, but I was thinking they'd won against Houston at home, which I found out later was incorrect. Considering that, I'm not surprised at that result.

The Saints game was about what I expected. I'm looking forward to their game next week with the 49ers- should be quite interesting.

Tomorrow I'm expecting a Steelers win and a Falcons win.

Also, outside of the playoffs, I heard today that the Chiefs will be bringing back their interim coach as the permanent coach next year. I'm ok with that, as long as they don't bring Orton back as the starter.

OH MY. How about that final play of the Denver game!

**KrayzieBuddha** · 9th January 2012, 1:11 AM

So much for the "Steelers" defense hah.

**Moneyy** · 9th January 2012, 1:12 AM

Wow. The Steelers were pretty bad that game, defense and offense. But Tebow did play well, and so did the Broncos defense. Unfortunately for the Broncos, there is no way they can beat the Patriots next week.

**Pichu47** · 9th January 2012, 1:13 AM

Oh my gosh! What a play at the end of the Broncos game! The broncos epicly faked out the steelers D for the TD. Broncos FTW.

**charizardfan** · 9th January 2012, 1:17 AM

... wow, I have no words for the finish of that last game. Just wow.

**EpicFeraligatr** · 9th January 2012, 1:19 AM

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 80ish YD TD PASS BY TIM TEBOW TO D THOMAS (who im playing in my playoff challenge)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! ill give it to tebow he can win.

**FullMetalAlchemist** · 9th January 2012, 1:19 AM

Four great games this weekend. Now Tebow gets another shot at Brady.

Who thinks Frank Gifford and Dan Dierdorf should join Al Michaels in the Sunday Night Football booth? I grew up watching the three together on ABC, back when they had the Monday night games. Bringing Frank and Al and Dan back together could result in a huge ratings boost for NBC.

**~~TerraWolf~~** · 9th January 2012, 1:23 AM

90% of stuff being tweeted was about the Broncos, Tebow or OT

I thought they had no chance today, so who know.

and the Denver D was bad today imo.

**deathseer** · 9th January 2012, 1:54 AM

Holy dooly what a play to end that game!

Tebow strikes again I guess.

Got to give him credit for coming through under enormous pressure. there was even rumblings that Quinn might have played some in this game
