I can't abide teams losing playoff games to Denver that they should win. I began to hate the Browns after The Drive and still hate them as the Ravens and as the New Browns.
What do the Steelers call that pass defense? The Silk Curtain? That game disgusted me.

*shrug* What has been the game plan all year long against Denver? Stack the box against the #1 rushing offense and dare the option QB to beat you with his arm. Guess what: He did. Like I said to Dan, I almost feel sorry for Belichick, because if he starts throwing a bunch of zone pass coverage out there we are likely to gash his run D for 250 yards like last time. If he loads the box to prevent that (which is the where the smart money remains) he must worry about our receivers beating one on one coverage and Tebow finding them for multiple 50 yard gains again.
The spread offense worked as designed, like it has in New England and Indy for so long. For long term success, especially in the playoffs, the QB must be "on" every week, and I really do not think Tebow is there yet (though he has frequently shown signs he soon will be.) Sunday he most definitely was, and it was a sight to see.
