Lol at the wording here. Making it out as though Tebow was pulling the straings on everything

"After Tebow got the Broncos close with a TD pass to Thomas, he got Bears running back Marion Barber III to stop the clock by running out of bounds, he got Barber to fumble in overtime and he got field goals of 59 yards by Prater to tie it and 51 yards in overtime to win it."

What's klis trying to say here? or is it tongue in cheek?

regardless. It's amazing what the Broncos have manages to do during this streak. Credit 15 for stepping up big time in crunch time.
a buddy told me that TT has the best QB rating in the last 7 minutes that anyone including Rogers.

QB rating during the last 2 minutes doesn't mean anything. Teams were going into their "prevent" defense -- keeping their S's 20 yards downfield to prevent any deep plays. They were trying to just prevent the big play. That lets Tebow run around and throw underneath to WRs who are wide open.

The strategy is idiotic of course. Why change up the defensive strategy that was containing Tebow and the Broncos for 3 1/2 quarters? But, it would have worked IF teams didn't make insane mistakes: Letting the Broncos recover an on-side kick because the defender didn't let the ball travel 10 yards and tried to catch it while surrounded by 4 Broncos. Marion Barber running out of bounds and fumbling. Coach going for 2 points and failing to convert in the 3rd quarter and then they wind up losing as a result.

My hair has gone from brown to white since Tebow took over as QB. These last minute finishes are thrilling but never-racking at the same time.

If you want to play the "what if" game, then it works both ways.

What if Chris Harris didn't drop that interception that looked to be a sure pick-6?
What if Tebow didn't fumble the ball with 6 minutes to go in the game?
What if Prater's chip shot FG wasn't blocked?
What if Demariyus Thomas didn't drop that 50 yard TD pass from Tebow?
What if the defense didn't miss 3 tackles en route to a 3rd quarter Marion Barber TD?
What if the refs did their job and reviewed Barber's diving first down catch in the 4th in which the ball clearly hit the ground?
What if Colquitt got his head out of his ass and didn't kick the ball the Hester?

I can keep going...

QB rating during the last 2 minutes doesn't mean anything.

If we are going to do this selective stuff, let's just get to the bottom line and be done with it. 1-4 with Orton, 7-1 with Tebow.

I don't care if it's divine intervention or a confluence of crazy improbability or clutch time play or great defense or what.

When you're hot at the roulette table, you don't suddenly start thinking about the odds or walk away.
