Looks like the cure for Tebowmania was AFC East football- Patriots and Bills.
should've put this here:
steeler safety Ryan Clark will be out for this weekend's game against the broncos. still think steelers win this one.
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday said he will not allow safety Ryan Clark to play in Sunday's AFC wild-card game in Denver against the Broncos out of fear for Clark's health.
Clark has sickle cell trait, a condition that can be problematic in the high altitude of Denver. In a 2007 game there, Clark became violently ill and lost his spleen and gallbladder in addition to losing 30 pounds because of deprivation of oxygen to his major organs.

With Tebow's bandwagon on fire and in a ditch, some fans are clamoring for Quinn to start against Pittsburgh.

Have to wonder how much time they'll give Tebow if the 3-and-outs start early and often.

I'm not trying to interject religion in this thread,just that Suggs is an idiot. You never know what can fire the Broncos up & make them play above their capabilities against the Steelers,& maybe the idea of showing Terrell Suggs up by defeating the Ravens in Baltimore will be the motivation that the Broncos need. Also,the Broncos' braintrust surely needs to realize that the NFL has adjusted to their "Option Defense" & THEY need to adjust to that reality. if the lowly Kansas City Chiefs(sorry meStevo) can contain Tim Tebow & the Broncos rushing offense & hold them to 3 points,what do you think that the Steelers will do? If the Steelers defense does their job,Charlie Batch could start in place of Ben & give Ben a chance to rest his ankle some more.
There was very little "Option" offense ran against the chiefs or the bills for that matter. Tebow was passing way more and doing basic up the middle runs with Willis and ball. It was very hard watching that poor play calling. They were trying to put Tebow back into a prostyle set and it obviously didnt work. Expect to see the spread option this weekend or at least I hope if they want to win.

yeah it was mentioned he will be going with the team. coach said the safety would be coaching the other safeties this weekend.I wonder if he will even travel to Denver with the team?

That's interesting, so it must be exertion at altitude that does it.
They tried, it was contained. The option party appears to be over, especially as they now go against the better teams in the league, starting with almost the exact same defense they saw last week with much better personnel. Even those without better defenses they can't keep up with in a shootout (as seen in the Patriots game) if they can get past the Steelers.
Tebow didn't have a bad game, he had a typical game, absent the late game heroics that usually turn his 4/15 60 yard outings into 10/15 150 yard outings in the last 2-4 minutes.
He goes 2/10 against the Steelers in a close game I expect we'll see Quinn thrown into the fire to try and salvage a win.
There was nothing typical about those two games. He had onyl threw 2 interception his entire pro career before the bills. He threw 3 of them that game and a fumble. He had 2 during the cheifs game and a fumble as well. It was nothing like his typical play.
Prediction: the conference championship games will have both top seeds (Ravens vs. Patriots, Saints vs. Packers)

Tebow Mania is not dead. He has had the worst 2 games of his career the last 2 games. Hes just getting the bad ones out of the way early in route to his first play off win! Mile High is going to erupt when Tebow leads the Broncos to its first play off victory since before anyone can even remember.
VON DOOM is going to put Ben on IR. (I hope its not to bad) Tebow is going to rush for at least 1 TD and throw for 2 more.
