I think the 49ers have clinched the NFC West today. 4 wins is enough.

41-3 now. And with the Niners beating the Eagels and now the Seahawks beating the Giants, is the NFC East the NFC Least?

Wow. Broncos Defense stepped it up in the second half and gave the team a chance to win. I guess you can't expect a PI call on a hail mary play at the end of the game, but Matthew Willis gets pushed out of the end zone on that play.

What a catch by Brandon Lloyd on that last drive. Unbelievable.

See ya later Kyle.

I'm just sick of Orton's lack of emotion and fire. The guy looks like he wants to puke.

i thought the word out of Denver was Quinn was the 2nd stringer? why did they go to Tebow? something to apease the fans? the chargers manged to keep the game close like they do with all less than .500 teams but if the bronco fans think tebow is the answer, they are sadly mistaken...

He's easily an elite receiver. If he had a QB, he just might be unstoppable.

Tebow sure provided some excitement once he came in. Time to see how he handles the starter role.

Tebow has been second on the depth chart all season. He moved back ahead of Quinn at the end of the preseason.

The thing is, Orton is NOT the answer. So it is Tebow time. There is nothing about him being the answer in the equation.

John Fox doesn't make decisions to appease the fans.

to me he is the kind of player who can come in once in a while and make a few things happen, but i dont think he is a full time starter. time will tell. San Diego at 4-1 is kinda misleading, i am a fan but i dont think they are that good.

i didnt hear that Tebow had become #2, i still see denver drafting another QB in the next year or two, as the answer is not on the roster. didnt see the game but i have heard the Von Miller has been pretty impressive.

Yes, Von Miller has been extremely impressive. The defense has improved quite a lot.

I think they will draft another QB as well.

There is no denying Tebow's leadership and desire though...and it is contagious. The Broncos are a different team when he's on the field. Orton has the exact opposite body language. No fire. No desire.

There's something to be said for that.

Even though i have never been a tebow fan, i agree, there is someting to be said for a guy who works that hard and has that desire, it would be nice for every player in the league to have that attitude as opposed to the Haynesworths and Jamarcus Russels. at least with Tebow, if he fails it will be because he doesnt have the skills not that he never applied himself

Maybe the Broncos will get lucky with Tebow... or maybe they'll just get Luck with Tebow.

Packers lose Clifton....Rodgers will be running for his life at times now.

I had a bad feeling about this game from the get go and it appears thus far that those fears are to be realized.

And it was written "Let the Tebow take control of the team, let him lead them to the promised land".

Burn in hell Orton. Short of that enjoy the bench. The Teebus era begins.

Diving in football?

Packers have been penalized for taking the field after a change of possesion and now because a Falcon lineman is a wuss.....bujt are still leading.

Pats played a strong game against Rex Ryans mouth and his team of Jets.
Pretty amazing that the defence actually played a great game even though the Pats are decimated with injuries right now.
BenJarvis Green-Ellis with a strong game rushing for 136yds and 2 TDs.
Jets actually looked pretty "vanilla" this afternoon, Sanchez has lost some of his magic mojo.

Amazing stat today....Brady tossed his first regular season INT in the red-zone at Foxboro in his "career". A deflection off Hernandez bounced into Cromartie's hands.

i dont think there is any question, Rodgers is the best player in the league right now. he is in such control and can make any throw, doesnt hurt that he has some pretty good recievers. when it is all said and done, he will be better than Favre, wont have the same stats but he also wont be the guy that throws the interception at the worst possible time like Favre did quite often

So Raheem Morris did his best Todd Haley impression? Niners are a bit of a surprise for me. I suppose they had talent last year, but Mike Singleterry was just that bad of a coach. Harbaugh seems to be getting Alex Smith to play like Andrew Luck.

You have to wonder if the season continues to spiral if maybe his time runs out.
I'm obviously really disappointed about how this season has turned out so far, but if it leads to Andy Reid being fired I won't be totally depressed.
