Seriously??? Jeeze if these supposedly superior teams can't win on the road against the inferior team, they don't deserve to advance.
How about them BRONCOS!!

Look, I despise the Steelers. I'm happy they lost. But they have a legitimate gripe. There should be some reward for having 4 more victories during a 16 game season than your opponent. Every other sport does it correctly- if you have the better record, you get home court/field advantage (with the exception of baseball- which stupidly determines homefield adv by the all-star game victor)

I'm thinking that the last time a white Bronco got this much attention, O.J. was in it.

I don't totally disagree; however, I really have a hard time believing that Denver (or Seattle last year) having the home field advantage meant the difference in the result.
Both teams, Pittsburgh and New Orleans, didn't deserve to advance given the circumstances IMO.
This is my viewpoint, as well.
Can't wait for next Saturday night.
I agree also
OMG,,,,,, That was just very wrong. L M A O!!!

having lived in Denver for about 30 years I am a big Bronco Fan. However I agree that they appear done and pretty easy to predict.
They are though a team that has a lot to build on. i think they hav some good years ahead and i a vulnerable division.
Poor Tebow! I do'nt recall a rookie getting as much grief and he has absorbed this year. iwish when he threw the 80 yarder in OT, he would have stuck his middle finger in the air!!
So what sport gets it right then if MLB does it wrong too. The NBA and NHL give the first 3 seeds to the division winners and allocates the last 5 spots only by points regardless of division. Frequently the 4th and sometimes even 5th seed has a better record than the 3rd seed but that's just how the cookie crumbles. Winning a division regardless of its depth has always and should always be rewarded IMO.

100% correct. :thumbup:
Glad to see the rule changes giving both teams a possesion of the ball worked.
I'm thinking you have to be able to play some defense to make it work....Pitt D looked like they were swatting flies out there
Giving up an 80 yard TD pass to Tebow should be an automatic loss anyway.
I am confused as hell. I heard the referee discuss with the teams captains just before the overtime coin toss that under the overtime rules, both teams would have an opportunity to possess the ball in overtime. Then, you make this post. Problem is, I don't recall the Steelers getting the ball in overtime. Did I fall asleep or something? The only thing I can remember is that Pittsburg lost the coin toss, Denver elected to recieve, got the ball on the 20-yard line from a touchback on the kickoff, then scored the winning TD on the very first play of overtime. When/how is it that Pittsburg had a possession of the football in OT???
Maniac (thought it was a GREAT playoff game!)
Tony,
Once the Broncos scored a TD, the game was over. The new overtime rules only apply if the team receiving the ball first scores a Field Goal. If that happens, the other team gets a chance to tie or win with a TD. However, if the team receiving the ball in OT scores a TD, the other team does not get a chance to tie.
The reward is that they actually made the playoffs- Tennessee had one more victory than them and didn't make it. They shouldn't get a second reward of getting home field.
It was even worse last season- Seahawks had a losing record and were not only allowed in the playoffs, but also given home field against the Saints.
For those that think home field doesn't matter, it called "home field advantage" for a reason
Oh well, I disagree with you guys. Again, I'm happy the Steelers lost, but I think the NFL needs to correct this rule.
I was being sarcastic, but in reality the rule change changed nothing. Only one team possessed the ball.
