[quote=MaTH716;818496]Yeah maybe there is some karma or just maybe God hates the Jets. Regardless the Broncos had field position all night long and were only able to muster 10 offensive points. For 54 minutes last night Tebow looked like he was in way over his head. They just happened to play a team last night that was more inept then them.



Not sure Al Davis would ever be smiling over a Broncos win.



Sure Tebow deserves some credit, but I think the offensive line and more importantly the defense deserves props as well. I really haven't watched the Broncos all season (and after last night won't be tuning in again anytime soon), but I really came away impressed with the defense and more notably Vonn Miller.[/QUOTE]

Totally agree..they can hit, that's for sure

i think you're on to something about god and the jets. they constantly raise fans hopes, and then dash them to the ground.

as for tebow-if he didn't suck so bad, they wouldn't have to keep coming from behind. but like they say, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. it's a team sport-he's not the only one getting them the wins. he's getting far too much credit for their wins-but i do give him credit for trying hard, for what that's worth.


and i will be rooting for denver vs the chargers. i'm anti-norv/rivers.

Speaking of teams that God must hate.

I think having a blowhard coach who tells his fans to f.uck off might have something to do with....um..kharma?

The Jets suck too now. :$:

Von Miller will turn out (might already be) the best player from the last two or three drafts. Kid is a remarkable player and athlete and is learning to recognize and cover much more quickly than I expected. That was a great decision, not that Peterson hasn't been impressive but Miller is the real deal.

Antitrust32 11-18-2011 09:39 AM

Tebow is one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. But he is one of the best football players in the league. All 32 teams in football would be lucky to have a guy with his heart and courage on their team.

while I agree with you... Suh is that player from the last two or three drafts. Von Miller has the opportunity to be as dominant as Suh though. He's a beast.

yes because we all know a 4-1 record is settling for less!

Von Miller said:
"I said before, I trust him. I trust him with everything. No matter how many interceptions he throws, no matter how many touchdowns he scores, that's Tim Tebow and I'm going to ride with him to the end. I hope he shut up a whole bunch of critics today."

Do you really think they are laughing at him? You think they would prefer Orton or Quinn? That's the thing people are forgetting here. If Denver had Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady or Drew Brees.......or just about 95% of the starting qb's in the league, Tebow wouldn't be playing. But they had Orton, who was not producing and losing. The defense deserves a ton of credit. Probably more than Tebow I'd say. But I do think Miller's comments show a feeling that goes through the team. When Orton is out there, they are thinking "here we go again." They may stop the other team and then Orton gives it right back and they are on the field again. You're wondering how Orton is going to squander your hard work. With Tebow, you're wondering how he's going to pull it out. Everyone plays with a different confidence now and that can't be measured.

stats are for Fantasy leagues.

Oh stop. He's 5-3 as a starter in his career. He played terrible for nearly the entire game last night. At one point they punted like 8 straight times. They had one good drive and because of mistakes the other team made, they capitalized.

They got 7 points off a terrible INT by Sanchez. Their initial FG came after a shanked punt that went like 12 yards. His running TD came as a result of terrible execution by Eric Smith.

He's clearly an unbelievably clutch player. He makes plays when it matters and it almost appears he wants to win more than his opponents. It's a nice story for now, but it won't continue. A lot of things had to happen last night for that last drive to even happen and he's lucky (or it's karma :rolleyes:) that it was the Jets on the other side of the ball.

the players absolutely love tebow now (maybe not at the beginning of the season). You could tell by watching the game and how they jumped on him after he scored. Oh yeah, and you can tell by listening to their interviews.

Its stupid to think they are laughing at a guy who has quarterbacked them to a 4-1 record. These are NFL players, all they care about is winning.

I was going to make a joke about Suh vs. Miller education but just learned that Suh graduated with a degree as well. Nice to see these kids finishing out college.

He made Revis miss a tackle. 'nuff said.

jms62 11-18-2011 11:44 AM

Tebow is like a hand-job everyone happy with the results even though it probably isn't their preferred method of play. His style will go the way of the Wildcat as soon as Defenses start taking them seriously.
