    Default Assessment of the Vikings game

    I'm glad we won. I'm glad everyone is super excited. But we have to regonize...we played an awful team. One of the worst secondaries in the NFL. Tebow had another atrocious first half, but played well the second half. Again though, it was against a secondary that is god awful. I do think Tebow needed this...a good game throwing the ball, and an improvement on his performance on third down. He still has a lot of work to do, but he did make progress today.

    Defensively, I'm really disappointed. We could not stop the run or the pass. I had no idea that Von Miller was that important to our defense. And I'm really hoping that was the reason we let them march up and down the field the way they did.

    All that being said, the next two weeks are going to actually show us what this team is about. I have mixed feelings about Cutler not playing...it would have been really fun to play him. But him being out gives us a much better chance. As for NE...well that is the real test.

    Be glad we won. But if we are going to be a playoff team, we need to beat teams like that by 2 TDs

    Total change of momentum the second half. The defense was gassed the second half and played like it. The offense was fresh the second half and played like it. The offense was dynamic, potent, and explosive, and Mike McCoy needs to take this blueprint, and continue it at the start of next week.

    If you claim to be an evolving, constantly changing offense, that quit starting the games out with the exact same gameplan. It clearly does not work.

    Man you're brilliant....Denver who has won 5 straight and leading the division....has 0 shot at being a playoff team since they only won this game by 3....NE only beat the Colts by 7 they aren't playoff worthy either...thanks for breaking down what I should have seen and explaining it to me....

    Von Miller makes a huge difference. Enjoy the win man.

    Patriots almost let the Colts come back and beat them. A win is a win no matter the opponent.

    This is the best throwing I've seen Tebow do to date. 10/15 for 202. A TWO as the first digit and over 50%. As critical as I have been, I have to admit he is improving. I get the poor Vikings secondary, but given that he threw well against them is a good sign. That is what a QB is supposed to do against a poor secondary. Though dropped, the pass that would have given the TD in the last 2:00 was well-thrown considering the pressure and good coverage. TT is getting better for sure. I'm still not totally sold, but I cant argue with wins.

    The defense could have played better, but Elvis played well and they took advantage of mistakes. Von was missed for sure.

    Enjoyed the win.

    define atrocious first half....do you mean because of the fumble? wasn't he 4/5 going into the half?

    also 13.5 yds/att is ridiculous
