I'd hate to bet against Saints in 2012/13 - they will be playing with a chip on their shoulder looking to forget this loss.

we thought that this season after seattle. they are fine regular season, but need to stop the playoff bberrations.

Road playoff games all together. The Saints are still searching for the first postseason road victory in franchise history after falling to 0-5.

turn overs killed the saints... but its easy to blame the saints but the niners are one of the leading teams at causing turn overs. They pressured brees into mistakes and ultimately, in a 4 point game, the forced turn overs were the difference.

Where was god to help Tebow today? Oh thats right he was too busy throwing 6 touchdowns.

Don't worry Tebow will be back. Who knows how long for.

Big off season for him though. Be interesting to see if he's passing fad or can become a successfull NFL QB.

Yeah I was just sticking the boot in. I loved Tebowmania, hope he comes back better next season.

Not a Tebow fan. He's going to be completely exposed next year with a whole offseason of studying how to stop him.

I'm not a fan or a hater. Just curious to see how he goes and weather or not he can make it.

With a whole off season of work and be coached as the no.1 QB, it wouldn't surprise me to see him go well next year and be a much better player.

It also wouldn't surprise me to see him benched 8 rounds in and become perenial backup QB.

Tim Tebow will be an improved player as a result of a full off-season with his coaching staff. I don't think he will ever become a 60% completion type a QB, though he can get to 55% and still be able to manage a game effectively.

The biggest thing for Tebow's success is to have the coaching staff have faith in him. Today they didn't. It was a horribly called game from Denver and whilst I don't like writing it, I honestly believe the O-line quit on him today. He had every right to scream at that group.

Will be be a starter in a few season's time? I really want him to be. I am not too sure and reserve judgment when we see him after a full off-season. We need to keep in mind that was his 16th start and effectively, he is a rookie QB. Showed enough as a footballer to bet on him. He has won everywhere he has played. High school. College. NFL. The guys wins unconventionally and he will always have analysts waiting for him to fail like he did today.

Fair comment, it will certainly get harder against opponents as opposed to easier. I expect Tebow to improve too so we will see. I guess all teams need to go is take a tape of the NE playoff game as well the two KC games where he completed 8 passes in two games. Enough footage there to show a DC how to shut Tebow and the Broncos down.

I agree on the Denver Game plan. It was horrible all round. The repeated option plays they called which pretty much always resulted in lost yardage or minimal gain at best.
With the way their defense played though - supposedly their strength, the Broncos could have had Peyton Manning playing for them and still would have lost convincingly.

If guts and determination are anything to go by Tebow will become a solid NFL QB. The thing is the way the NFL is today Solid QB's like Trent Dilfer don't win SB's anymore.
