Not sure limping into the playoffs with a .500 record qualifies as not failing, but I grant you that reaching that his reaching that august record certainly took divine intervention.

You must have not watched Tebow play. He pulled miracles out of his ass, weekly!

Yeah... no. That's way past the deadline which was on Thursday at 8:30PM Eastern Time. I cannot accept the above bracket. Except... if seven people who submitted brackets beg me to include yours, then I will do it. Why seven? Because that's the lucky number.

If the Bears beat the Packers tomorrow, I will take it as a divine sign that I should beg for the bracket to be accepted.

How many weeks will it take before Peyton Wheelchair Manning gets benched?

I am going out on a limb and say that it will happen before the next time I get banned from VGC.


Meh, even if he is awful they wouldn't bench him.  I don't expect him to be that good this year, he should have been done a couple years ago...

 lol ...   A couple/2 years ago he threw for the single touchdown record (76) . 

NFL Records - Player

Passing touchdowns

Peyton Manning finished with 55 TDs, shattering Tom Brady's record of 50 set in 2007.

Passing yards

Manning threw for 5,477 yards, one yard more than Drew Brees threw in 2011, the previous record. After some controversy, the NFL confirmed on January 1, 2014 that the record will stand.

Longest field goal

Matt Prater booted a 64-yard field goal in Week 14 to break the long-standing NFL record of longest field goal. That record was previously held by Jason Elam, among others.

Most four-touchdown passing games

 Peyton Manning destroyed this record with nine such games this season. The previous record was six, set by Dan Marino in 1984 and tied by Manning in 2004.

Most two-touchdown passing games

Manning had 15 such games in 2013, tying Marino's 1984 season.

Most 400-yard passing games

Manning tied the record set by Dan Marino in 1984 with four 400-yard passing games this season.

Most 90+ passer rating games

Manning had 15 such games in 2013, tying the NFL record he set in 2004.  Stretching back into 2012, Manning decimated the record for most consecutive 90+ passer rating games in the regular season with 23.

Manning also was second place for NFL mvp in 2012 behind Adrian Peterson .

I concede that any and all Tebow throws that weren't picked were clearly blessed by the divine being. I was EXTREMELY confused why anyone thought Elway made the wrong move by pulling Tebow, playoff win notwithstanding. Not that you'll find many folks who would admit to thinking that today!

The stupid move was to ditch Tebow entirely. They should've gotten Peyton Manning, and kept Tebow as his backup. That way you continue to get divine blessing while having a QB that can play really well. Now that they threw him away, God has doomed them to either go one and done in the playoffs or get blown out in the Super Bowl.

Exactly, he should have been done after that season.  He would have gone out on a high note, even with the super bowl loss.

No, the Ultimate Being - being a prankster of the highest order - only bestows his divine grace on Tebow's team IF Tebow is the starter. See the Jets expirment: once Tebow was relegated to a backup (behind the Sanchize!), it was clear that the joke was over, and Tebow's team buttfumbled its way to a 6-10 record. I suspect Chip Kelly, being The Genius™, correctly interpreted the Scriptures* this way as well, which is why his brief flirtation with Tebow ended right before the 53 man roster cuts.

If the Bills win, I'll vote to accept it too.

If the Redskins win, I'll vote to accept it as well, and being  a Redskins victory that should count for at least four votes.
