If they showed the first 3.5 quarters of yesterday's game to Terrorists in Guantonimo Bay ... it would be a greater form of torture than waterboarding.

It's horrible football at the skill positions. Good stuff if you like watching offensive lines battle defensive fronts.
In the end, you have to look at everything. It could have easily been 10-0 Denver at half time...Prater had a chip shot blocked and Thomas dropped a wide open touchdown pass. Then all of a sudden his first 3 quarters don't look all that bad. Of course some bad things from him the first 3 too. He's not great and this may be the peak of his career, but I think he's played fine.

exactly. A lot of people just look at the stat line and make assumptions. Granted, Tebow missed the broad side of a barn on a lot of throws in the first 3 quarters.. but there were at least 5 terrible drops and 10 points that should have been on the board.

It happens to both teams though.. evens out. Just look at the former Cowgirl running back.
