A pretty good analysis of the game from Bill Barnwell at Grantland.

You have to scroll past the Cowboys stuff to get to the Broncos stuff...

agreed, pretty good write up...maybe a little overly harsh on the WR core(arguably worst?)

In one way, Tebow is getting too much of the credit for things he had nothing to do with. In another, though, Tebow isn't getting enough credit from that famed straw man group, the people who just look at the numbers and didn't actually watch the first three quarters of the Broncos game.

The stat bandied about with regard to Tebow's comeback has been that he started the game 3-for-16 against the Bears defense. Chicago's pass defense played a sound game and actually induced Tebow's second interception of the year in the first half, but 3-for-16 grossly undersells how Tebow was playing. His receivers dropped six passes, and one of them was an easy touchdown to Demaryius Thomas that the second-year receiver flat-out dropped.

What pass did DT "drop" that was a sure TD? I can only think of the long pass that he barely got his fingers on. A centerfielder wouldve struggled with that one.

That was a drop. Right through his hands. Not sure what you were watching.

Naw, that shoulda been a TD. It wasn't a perfect pass, but it was inches from it. A professional should catch that, no questions. DT himself said he should have caught that.

It was clearly a drop.

It's not really debatable.

Submit yourself to the force. You'll be a better man for it.

from DT

"We were on the same page. I just dropped it," Thomas said. "I short-armed it. That was on me."
