300 yards per game x 16 games = 4,800 yards / year
How does Manning have over 4,900 yards if the team has under 4,800? Did a backup QB come in and throw for NEGATIVE 150 yards? Do yards lost via sacks or kneel downs count against the team but NOT against the QB?

If Tebow beats the Steelers today, I will post a pic of me Tebow'ing in one of my Pittsburgh jerseys.

Going for it on 4th down doesn't look so bad for the Falcons now since they at least got 2 points plus the ball back.

Does Atlanta have a D or are the Giants just not playing?

Abraham obviously needs to be doubled at this point, but Bradshaw, Jacobs, and the o-line look like they're sleepwalking.

I love how the first points had come from a safety.
This must be one of those games where the Giants "didn't show up". I don't think it matters who wins this game since neither of these teams are capable of a Super Bowl run.

That's a good point.
Still the last game I always remember it being the biggest one.
The Tebow thing I guess.

Wtf was that atl? Ryan doesn't run out of bounds and they don't take a time out? Horrible clock management there.

I don't think it would have made a difference, but that was a piss poor perfomance by the refs. I counted 4 obvious holding calls that went ignored or were missed. The Saints received favorable spots everytime they were near the first down marker as well.
Brees and Stafford are both native Texans - lots of good football comes out of this state.

Good day to be a Giants fan.
