Wild Card Weekend: Steelers Vs. Broncos Playoff Open Thread

Now it is time to see if Tim Tebow really is a winner. He has looked bad in his past couple of games. He faces a legit title contender in the Pittsburgh Steelers despite the fact that they are a wild card team. However, the Steelers are banged up. Ryan Clark is not playing because of a health condition. Ben Roethlisberger is still hobbling around with his ankle injury. Rashard Mendenhall is gone with his knee injury. They could be vulnerable.

I don't think it will matter, as the Broncos managed to squeeze out a paltry three points against the Chiefs. They now face one of the NFL's best defenses. Talk about it while you watch after the jump.

The worst part of any New York team doing well is that you have to hear "Empire State of Mind" over and over again....

Yes, even hearing it on the CBS pregame show during this interview makes me angry

Hopefully the Tebows can give us a non blowout game.

I have a feeling this is going to be a boring game

Possible outcomes: 1) Pittsburgh blows out Denver, 2) Denver manages to use it’s good defense to stay in the game but Tim Tebow and the offense fails miserable and Pittsburgh wins easily, or 3) Tebow time actually works, the defense keeps Rothlisberger at bay, and they win the game. And I admit that everything I ever said about Tim Tebow is wrong.

Anyone else on the Fox over Harbaugh,

I still like Harbaugh

That was a complete turnaround with pretty much the same personnel. Fox has done a great job though that is for sure.

Can't wait to hear what the Tebow naysayers,

have to doubt now, Tebow won this game passing. The guy is just a winner. Good for you Denver Broncos
