I guess Mike Tomlin learned a thing or two from Bill Belichick, they don't need no stinking practice...
I behove Tebow and the offense to sustain some drives in the first half and starting the 2nd. It will be vital to get the Steelers defense winded for the 4th qtr…
Win, lose or draw, we are the Denver Broncos! 13-3 Baby!!! Until we ain't!
He doesn’t force the vets to practice.

What is the deal with Polamalu and Harrision
I don’t expect them to miss the game by any means. But are they “hurt” (resting) or are the legitimately laboring through games on injuries serious enough to keep them out of practice. Surprised that they did not participate at all.
Apparently, they're being rested and are expected to play along with Keisel.
Not sure about Pouncey.
It is what it is
The vibe ESPN 32
was putting out today said he’s questionable at best, and starting to look like he will be a no go

It’s totally up in the air. He tweaked his ankle and pulled himself from practice. No one knows what to expect.

They are just small injuries and they are resting. Tomlin always does that with veterans.

I do not see how Dawk plays
eventually we all have to leave our comfort zone, yes I mean YOU Rahim and Quinton, and make some plays or in the professional world do well without our mentor ready to assist us. Take care of business and see what happens. GO BRONCOS!!!

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

Steelers pass-game can be potent.
Key is bringing pressure within 2-5 seconds without losing containment of Ben, bad ankle or no bad ankle.
It is what it is
if we hit Ben
we must sack him, that dirty bounder keeps so many plays alive smh

Are we really to believe that
their best Center/lineman, their best RB, their best Strong Safety, their best Free Safety, their best DE, and their best MLB aren’t playing in a playoff game when the QB is obviously injured to some extent?
Of course not.
It is what it is
there is a little
Belichick “gamesmanship” in their report, that’s how it has been for quite some time

Yeah
Tomlin has a bit of that in him. He doesn’t give ANY help to an opposing team. That goes as far as not even saying a cross word about an opponent in interviews. He always praises his opponent the same whether it be the Packers or the Rams.

Pouncey's set back is a big deal
With Big Ben hobbled, losing Pouncey (or having him playing, but ineffectively) could be huge. If Ben is even a little gimpy, pressure in his face will only make Dumervil and Miller better. Could really hurt their blitz pick up as well.
yep. THIS is important
He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.

Cast free Von + a limp Big Ben = 3 sacks
Damn I wish he was healthy for this game. Is it selfish of me to ask him to cut that sucker off for this one game.
Pretty sure he was just dreaming... But it's a darn good dream.

Tebow needs Some wide recievers
Tebow would have a better passer rating if he had good Wide receivers and Deion sanders said get Tebow some weapons. Im Mad that they calling him a bad QB and he doesn’t even have good receivers.
yawn

I know, right?
How dare he point out any other deficiency in the passing game OTHER than the QB.
We all know that any criticism of the components of the passing game outside of Tim Tebow means that you’re a Tim Tebow apologist.

Demaryius is excellent
Decker can be if he takes more interest in studying his playbook than sexing up his hot girlfriend, Matt Willis, I really don’t know…

D Thomas isn't excellent... yet
He still doesn’t run great routes because he pretty much just ran GO routes at GT. He doesn’t attack the ball the way a #1 receiver should, and he gives up on the ball sometimes mid-air. According to the coaches he runs wrong routes still too – and occassionally gets the dropsies…
But he CAN be excellent I think. Looking forward to him continuing to grow into a great #2 and maybe one day #1.

I look forward to the perpetual progression of this offense and our team as a whole, this is but the tip of the iceberg my friends, we have a great future!

So Von is Cast-free?

shoot when I was 14
I cut a cast off my ankle so I could skate in a competition. Boy was my Mom pissed! So was my Dr.

I just hope Dawkins is ready...
Bruton played well Sunday, but Dawkins is something special, old age and all.

WR's
I think Tebow needs some veteran WR’s.

Any QB of the future, Tebow or not, needs something more to work with at WR...
that’s the truth.
