He had a bad stretch. It happens to all of them.

Just watching him yell "Let's go!" at the fans in the stadium after the second touchdown pumped me up.

I know he's is not technically a rookie, but I think he hit the rookie wall. Glad it is over - at least for today, anyway!

It's back now. And there isn't a team in the Playoffs that feels comfortable playing against us.

I couldn't agree more

I think the Broncos were playing not to lose, and he felt the coaches didn't believe in him. And turning the ball over will shake any players confidence.

You could see he had that intensity today. The last couple of weeks he'd been kinda ho-hum and laid back, today was not like that. He had the thousand-yard-stare of a stone cold defense killer today. Every time they showed him, even if he was sitting on the bench, he looked focused and intense.

I loved it.

Nope! He's still a rookie. Not to make any excuses. However, T2 must guard against the sophomore jinx next season.

He no doubt shocked the entire NFL world tonight.

Why would they? We just beat the 12-4 Steelers at their own game. We were tough, physical, ran the ball, and passed the ball effectively hitting some deep balls. The defense was getting pressure and we forced turnovers (well, should've been 2).

What's not to be scared of? We have a QB who isn't afraid to run the ball and when he does, he does damage. If we spread the field and leave Tebow alone in the shotgun, it's dangerous because we are one of the few teams that can play 11 on 11 football.

Have you ever gone to the golf course and hit hundreds, maybe thousands, of shots and realized that the practice really pays off?

I think those three things were 90% of it. He DID have a bad stretch, which was obviously why he was a lot more tentative against KC; he seems to have realized he overcompensated, and finding the right balance between paralyzed and foolhardy is something all QBs must do (some never manage it, and some go up and down, like when Plummer and Favre had the least regular season interceptions of their career but cost their teams Conference Championships with one.) The jury's still out on whether he'll find that balance in the long haul, incidentally.

I also very much believe that when we thought we were looking at another high draft pick and not much else the coaches were more inclined to throw caution to the wind to evaluate him; once that strung together 6 wins in 7 games and put us all alone in first place we were operating under a new paradigm. It was one thing when we had nothing to lose, but when it seemed like we had EVERYTHING to lose they jerked the reins a bit (even though, IMHO, Tebows best game before last night was against Chicago.) When he had three picks and a fumble against NE they jerked the reins HARD, and it showed against KC. Through all of that, it's great for coaches to say, "take chances, Timmy, don't be scared; we believe in you," but when they're calling 50 runs and 8 passes per game the reality doesn't match the rhetoric, and Tebow's not an idiot.

Makes me wonder how much Fox was joking in the locker room after the game when he thanked the team for saving his job. He's only got a three year contract; losing a playoff game playing run, run, pass, punt after Elway spent last week telling the media, "pull the trigger, Timmy!" might have been a big professional mistake. Or maybe he figured that now that we were in the playoffs against all odds, and against a team EVERYONE KNEW is much better than us, we once again had nothing to lose. Maybe it was a little of both, but whatever it was, we took the handcuffs off and the result was very satisfying.

In many ways, what we saw last night was my ideal offense; we didn't get much running, but it was the freakin' Steelers and McGahee's a power back, not a burner, so I didn't expect much there. We still ran a lot more than we passed, but ran a number of times with Tebow or Ball so McGahee didn't run out of gas, and once we got them leaning heavily that way we threw deep strikes that immediately set us up in scoring position: The question became not "will we score?" but "will we get a TD, or just a FG?" Screw those 5 yard out patterns that STILL leave us with a three and out when we follow them up with a couple 2 yard runs: When we take the risk of an Int, it's balanced against the chance of a first down or score.

Doing that successfully requires ALL our players doing many things well, and I frankly didn't think our young team was ready for that. I really still don't, not each week for five months straight, but that we can do it occasionally with such young starters encourages me to believe we will soon be able to do it regularly. When defences have to watch our running back AND our quarterback AND guard against multiple receivers beating them deep, while our line gives us all day to pass and great push when we run, defending against Denver will be a nightmarish proposition, because you can't put five or six defenders at every position on the field.

Short form of the above: We quit playing DESPERATELY and went back to playing DEFIANTLY. Witness the result. Again.

Heck.. even in the first quarter..
there was Quinn throwing on the sideline..
warming up..
it was like Tim just finaly did what Tim does..
he goes to the wall..
turns his back to it.
and then EXCELLS.

It was freakin' incredible..


The team went from believing in him..
to doubting him'..
to ABSOLUTLY BELIEVING in him now.

I think he has their confidance for real at this point.
