I saw no "Struggling" by Tebow today. Although he continues to be halmstrung by 1st half game plans that suck ass. McCoy is still pretty mediocre at game planning for the start of games.

It helped that the vikings secondary effectively ignored dt. Hopefully this crap about tt misses open receivers will stop.

WOW enjoy the win my man.

Why do some people get so entrenched in the negatives so early. Enjoy the win digest the chips and pass the beer. Tomorrow we'll talk about the rest

Go Broncs!

Didn't mean to tee off on you, I just get tired of all the Tebow bashing. It seems like any time there is a bad series of play people want to put it all on the QB, but when the team wins it is"well McGahee played lights out, or Decker made some great plays." I don't mind saying the Offense looked like crap the first half, that is a true statement. I don't think Tebow had much to do with how the offense was doing in the first half, except for the turnover and these days 1 turnover by a qb in a game is not a rarity, as he didn't really participate except to throw it 5 times completing 4. You want to get all over someone...look at the line and the RB's. All in all it comes out in the wash because it was a win.

People still need to remember that Tebow is young. Just like Ponder is young and made some mistakes. But its easy to see today that Tebow looked much better passing the ball than he did when he first took over the reigns. I think we have a great shot at beating the Bears and we do get NE at home. But right now McCoy and company come out with a gameplan and then make their adjustments accordingly. Our biggest problem today was putting the ball on the ground, something that we hadnt done a lot of the last couple of weeks but we still found a way to win and thats what is important.

Homefield advantage.

I agree, although Tebow doesn't help the situation by becoming Matt Lienart in the first half. They need to find a way to play with a sense of urgency all the time, because Tebow literally transforms from Matt Lienart/Mike McMahan mix to a John Elway/Mike Vick hyrbid, and I am not even kidding in the least.

Some guys just zone in and play their best when something's on the line, and Tebow certainly does that and then some.

actually I posted stats, you spit out some waterheaded statement based on your opinion that I am now supposed to bow down and worship as fact. All I want is for you to post the plays that Tebow affected in the First half that justify the statement that he was atrocious, as what I saw was a run game getting stuffed play after play where Tebow's contribution was handing it off to a RB and looking on as he got knocked down 2 yards downfield...so again post some ******* stats

I wish they would let Tebow no huddle. I am honestly curious if the feeling of him being rushed (to a degree) from having to get the play in, to tell his teammates on the fly, to reading, and then snapping might energize the offense a little and keep the defense more on their toes.

Huh ? He threw like 4 or 5 passes in the 1st half and you break out a Leinert reference ?

Miller is that important.

I was questioning not throwing it earlier in the game.

The flip side to all of this is Fox, Allen, and McCoy can make some mean adjustments.

The O line who hasn't needed to pass block in some time did a fine job today. Jared Allen is pretty decent if you know what I mean.

Tebow in a 2 back, more traditional offense looked pretty good.

This was an 11 AM game on the road. There is a lot to like. As the wins keep coming you can see the confidence growing.

You can't put that all on Thomas. If it was a better throw he has an easy catch. Thomas made a great play even catching that ball. You are correct he needs to get his feet down but Tebow could have made that a lot easier.

agreed and there are plays like that every week in the NFL, would have been a great catch but definately not a 100% catch

Oh Please.

Denver was without it's best pass rusher.

Say what you will about Minny's defensive backfield, but their DLine is actually their strength.

Defense was exhausted going into the 2nd half and still hung in there.

Offense was a disaster in the 1st half but explosive in the 2nd.

Tebow has clearly made healthy progress as a passer.

With the Raiders takin' it in the ass in Miami, I don't give a !@#$ HOW they won it.

Denver is in first place and Tebow is here to stay.

Live with it.
