How is it a gimmick offense? Is it conventional? Probably not, but they have been putting up points all year. By the way, RG3 is a better passer than Vick (save maybe his 1st season in Philly). I think the comparison to Vick is pretty unfair, some guys have what it takes and others don't.

your saying rg3 has what it takes before he's been in the post season?

I don't know, all I know is I prefer him to Luck judging from what I've seen.

Only time will tell, hell they are both still rookies. They may both flop and be the second coming of jamarcus Russel....

They have both already surpassed him easily.

Well, RG3 definitely is more efficient right now. I think Luck shows as much promise overall, but he takes more risks in his pass-happy system.

Man Im glad we came up with a win but all these games coming down to the 4rth quarter and overtime games are taking a toll.

That 60 yard throw by Ben Roethlisberger was amazing. Turnovers did the Steelers in.

Well I have to say that the Pats vs 9ers game tonight may have been the best game I've seen all season. Sucks Brady brought them back from 28 points down only for San Fran to score on the following possession in two plays. I was actually suprised how poorly the 9ers deffense played in the second half of the game. Changing up their whole scheme from press man coverage to a more soft zone type of play. Still to watch the play calling from Belechik and the execution of Brady and the offense was nothing short of genius. Even when Brady loses he loses in style, but I think raised some some eyebrows at how exzactly to expose the 9ers D. Kaeperscatch or whatever his name showed glimpses of veteran like play and then at times couldn't even handle the snap from under center. I'm still not sure about that QB change, but he did come away with the victory. I'm thinking the chances for a rematch in the super bowl between these two teams is very likely and has all the makings of another epic showdown.

Kaeperscratch isn't funny. You gotta realize how wet it was out there. Brady didn't fumble a snap because he's used to it. Kaep is not. Even with those fumbles, he only had one bad pass the entire game and threw four touchdown passes. The first touchdown to Crabtree was one of the best thrown balls I've seen all season by any QB. Without getting too into the hype that's surrounding Kaep, I think his play is way better than just some "veteran".
