check in, 3rd quater and they were getting clobbered.
now, with 4 min left it looks like a game.
[Rant1][Bang][Rant2][Rant1][Bang][Rant2][Rant1][Bang]
At least once Tebow was in, he did make a valient comeback effort.
I just caught the last 4 minutes.
why on earth had they used all their time outs?
if it weren't for that unsportsmanlike call I think they would have won it.
ah well.
life long broncos fan. a tough loss is nothing new to me.
I would tell tsosti to move out of the state or shut the fuck up with the donkey noise... but this ain't oakland or boston.
people here have class.
That actually turned out to be a feel-good loss. Kinda.
well, I think we settled tebow vs. orton quite handily.
the entire team played better. defense especially.

Time to switch support to the Cleveland Indians. They are closer to rings than the doncos [ROFL1]

That being said, what I did NOT expect was to thoroughly enjoy watching the 2nd half. I did NOT expect to see a come back of near epic proportions. I did NOT expect to be in it w/a chance to win at the last second, especially the way the first half ended. I also did NOT expect to be looking forward to hearing what the media (ESPN and such) has to say on the subject and I certainly did NOT expect to be looking forward to game 5 after the bye week. I want to see how they improve when they game plan for Tebow and actually prepare for him as well as how the team reacts when it's actually his team. Fox needs to announce the team is now Tebow's ASAP even if it's only internally. He needs that nod of confidence and the ability to do what he do. He has something that can't be coached and doesn't show up in practice but he needs to be given full reign for it to work.
Win lose or draw the Tebow era has begun....
Tebow = LossQuote:

Agreed. But it should have begun on Game 1. That dude had competition in his blood. It shows on the field. Who cares if his "mechanics" aren't perfect. The guy gets the team and the crowd fired up. That's something you can't coach as you said. Orton is a stick in the mud compared to the energy Tebow creates.Quote:

I have been saying for a while, we can sink or swim with Teboner, With Orton we can only tread water (although now we know he cant even tread water)
If nothing else it was great to see exciting Bronco football, its been a while.
with all the choices for rookie quarterbacks in the last couple of drafts why did we wind up with either ones of theses guys.
look at all the talent that has come out of NCAA in the recent past.
who the hell is choosing our team for us?
we have had five reasonably crappy quarterbacks while guys like rivers and manning and rothlesberger (how ever you spell it?), and rogers (just to name a few) have all come out of college and been successful.
still i say the team is the issue not who is behind the center. the team as whole is just not meshed together. the defense gives up yardage like it's on sale, especially last week, 600 plus yards and 49 points, the front line looks like swiss cheese.
why did we not do more running yesterday? Mcgahee was moving the ball. let him pound it down the field.
also where was the downfield passing? if everything we throw is ten yards or less how do we expect to spread out the defense and gain some yards?
we play like we are trying not to lose, not playing like we are here to win.
the play calling sucks, the execution is sloppy, and having tebow in there won't make a difference unless the rest of the team comes around.
As for tebow, it is not just his mechanics that are the issue. A running QB in the NFL has a very short career ahead of him. they are trying to keep him out until he learns how to play the game like an NFL QB, playing like you are still in college or high school will get you killed in the pros.
personally i think he is built and has the athletic ability to be a great tight end receiver. good hands and decent speed.
The thing is there, that Tebow has the the factor of unpredictability. He will improve the Bronco's running game as much as anything. Like others have said, his energy is contagious. You could see it in the other guys on the field as well as the fans, that spells WIN. I say, give the kid a chance.
There's no letter tebow in the word team although he did do much better than orton
Michael Vick isn't dead...Quote:

But Tebow of course isn't Vick so if they don't want him to be a running QB then the only way he'll learn that is actually playing. Practice on scout team offense is not NFL experience.
As you said, the whole team needs work. Let them all work together and build the team as one with your future QB.
I agree.Quote:

vick is good, vick is not the norm, maybe tebow is another vick maybe he is not.
that being said i saw at least opportunities for Orton to take off and get a few yards and he just didn't react. looking for the receiver rather than seeing a big a.. hole to run through.
orton definitely played like crap. i think he is feeling the pressure of all the negative crap from the tebow fans.
I just don't see his potential being a winning QB for ten years with that playing style. I could be totally off base here, maybe he will prove me wrong in which case i will gladly admit it.
and where will his popularity be when he has gone 9 years without a superbowl victory like Vick,
on another note, the eagles have already had on scare about losing vick to injury this season. playing like you are invincible can leave your team in the lurch.
look at it from the broncos side, 6.5 million a year for a third stringer. if he was ready why not play him?
they obviously see something that is more important to them than just putting him in to get him snaps.

so whats your flavor this week?

Listen, I'm not a Tim Tebow bandwagoner... never have been. I hope he does real well and I like his attitude and work ethic. That being said I was saying it would be a bad idea because of the O-line and the rest of the team. I feel as though it's setting him up for failure in a rebuilding year. that being said, I'm not affiliated with him so I don't care if he fails other than the Broncos losses and let's be honest... Orton was losing games just as easily as Tebow can. Orton is a known component. He stared his Bronco career 6-0 and since then has gone 6-25 as starter. Think about that for a moment. 6 wins to 25 losses. IMO Tebow can't do much worse and he's being paid 1st round draft pick money so let's see what he can do. I sure hope he's the next Elway but have my doubts. I don't have my doubts about Orton... I already know.Quote:

My take on the whole media and fan frenzy over Tebow.
Or is it the opposite because after 4.5 games he knew Orton wasn't the man?Quote:

you cant teach passion, and you cant coach a bad attitude.
Let Tebow gain the experience, and keep rebuilding.
Its nox Fox's bad playcalling, rather a limited playbook.
its not a media hooplaw, its shit, something has to change.
And dammit, God loves Tim Tebow. Let him play!
