NFL: Offseason Discussion Thread

That's just it though, Tebow is only winning these games because their opponents are never far ahead. Ill give him credit for his clutch performances late in the game, but he really shouldn't be getting those chances. Denver's D isn't historically great by any means, but they are the glue that's holding "Tebow Mania" together right now.

fuck the jets, i hope they never win a game again this season

They've done OKAY but they've had some pretty bad games even when they won, and Sanchez at times looks completely clueless on the field and more like a rookie than a 3rd year qb.

I agree with you, saddening for me because I am a fan of them. Not a huge fan but I like them more than usual.

It's cheesy cause these commentators say it all the time but I think part of why this defense is playing well lately is because of the fact that Tebo has to be pretty damn motivating because this is the same defense that was there with Orton who is a better QB in reality yet wasn't going anywhere. Tebo probably never will be a "real QB" but doesn't need to be if they're gonna keep winning games like this. Not to mention the stuff he lacks he can luckily be taught along the way. Guy pretty much has the other stuff you can't teach somebody

Tebow is a natural born winner. He does what it takes to get it done. Every QB in the leauge has strengths and weaknesses, Tebow knows what he is doing out on the field, now it's up to the defensive cordinators in the leauge to find a way to stop him. I don't think they'll make the playoffs this year but in a few years? maybe.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis isn't expected to play in Sunday's game against Cincinnati because of a toe injury that has prevented him from practicing all week.

Citing Lewis' toughness, Ravens coach John Harbaugh refused to rule out the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year against the Bengals.

"Ray is Ray, you can't count Ray out," Harbaugh said Friday. "There could be reports out there and you guys could turn over some rocks and figure out and ask, and think you have something, and you might have something. But you might not. We're talking about Ray.

"We'll find out on Sunday, really. Ray has had shoulders dislocated and he's done 35 push-ups on the sidelines to prove that he can go. He's had hamstrings that have torn off the bone because he went ahead when he should have been gone."

I hope Ray can play in Sunday's game, he is a great asset to the Raven's defense. I think the Ravens could still pull out the victory but it will be a little more difficult for the defense to hold them off if their best linebacker is injured.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I think the Ravens get the win, regardless but i'd like to see Ray play because he's a BEAST.

Didn't even know he was hurt but it's hard seeing him sit out depending what the injury is.

He is a tough guy so if it's a minor injury, he will play for sure.

It's a toe injury

 

[No More Sorrow]

I think he'll play through it

I think he'll play through it

Toe injuries hurt like hell but Ray Lewis will definitely fight through the pain.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah toe injuries are annoying. I broke my toe at the begning of my shift at work one day. Went 8 hours lifting 100 pound boxes into trucks. But i'm also not Ray Lewis who could handle something like this.

 

[PHX]

Knew it had to be something like that for it to be a he might not play situation. Still half way expect him to try and tough it out
