A couple thoughts on yesterday:

1) really, really cool what Alex Smith did. Are those throws representative of the "real" Alex Smith, able to match Drew Brees shot for shot? No, of course not. But that's why sports are great.

2) The Broncos defense was really overrated all year. It wasn't all thatgood under Kyle Orton, it really wasn't much better for Tim Tebow in the regular season, and it got totally torched in the postseason. Even after they got Elvis Dumerville back, it was really only just the Redskins defense dressed in blue. Denver had a lot of good fortune all year, but the only difference between the team that began 1-4 and the one that finished 8-5 was play in the clutch.

As much as I love Drew Brees, I found myslef rooting for Alex Smith yesterday. The guy defines perseverance.

That is true.... but it really wasn't being enforced until Bill Polian and the Colts started crying to the NFL after one of the championship games (03 or 04) where their wr's basically got mugged.


You need to go back a few years and try to remember how much the NFL was screaming when Brady got hurt,result was the "the Brady rule"

Boy, who woulda thought before the season started we'd be talking about Alex Smith and the 49ers being one win away from being in the Super Bowl? The NFL never ceases to amaze me.

True. I remember when Carson Palmer got hurt before that and they started that rule... and then after the NFL poster boy got hurt they REALLY started enforcing it. It must suck to have to play defense in the NFL nowadays.

If I'm his coach I'd be tempted to leave him on the bench for the rest of the day, screw giving him the chance to redeem himself.

That was a terrible play, but I let the guy keep playing Jones is a terrific PR who just had a brain fart.

Not as bad, but still a bad play by Jones again.
