Granted they couldn't make a big play down the stretch, but they certainly did enough to win that game. Denver had field position on them all night (except for the final drive) and only scored a FG up until the final drive.

I'll admit that I don't think Eric Smith is great, but I think you picking on them in this case is unfair.

Although thankfully I didn't watch Thursday's game, I have seen enough of Eric Smith and Jim Leonhard to know that neither is athletic enough to thrive in the Jets' defensive system. Leonhard, coming off last year's broken leg, may have lost a step he couldn't afford to lose, and Smith, while probably an over-achiever, simply hasn't been getting the job done is pass coverage.

Bottom line, an above average defense, no matter how well they may have played the first 55 minutes of the game, DOES NOT let Tim Tebow march 95 yards down the field for the game winning TD. Simple as that, IMO.

The offense is quite another matter.

i think the Jets were still dizzy from the beating the Pats laid on them. Tebow is like Zenyatta, a winner. Winners win, Ive seen Tebow make plenty of big throws. His will to win is incredible. That oklahoma team was WAY better than Florida and Tim Tebow still found a way to beat them. He'll be president some day, or at least vice president when Tom Brady takes over the country. Dont forget....he's basically a rookie with single digit starts, and is winning already. for those interested in making a couple of bucks on Sunday. If Vince Young starts for Philly, they will whip the Jintz.

I don't think Tebow would make a good running back. Part of what makes him effective as a runner is the defense not being able to totally key in on him running. As bad a passer as he is, they still have to give some respect to it. Look at last weekend when he won the game with the long touchdown pass, his second completion of the game. I think that taking that dimension away would really hurt his effectiveness as a runner and his lack of skills in that area would be exposed much more than they are now.

Was I blind or did the KC defensive backs stop on the play before Decker made the catch?
