Tebow is setting his critics up for a last second win in game 16 that lands him in the playoffs ..... :D

they just aren't capable of scoring more than 14 or so points on even halfway decent defenses. their defense laid down against ne but most of them do, and they played just ok against buffalo. a defense can't keep up the streak they'd been on. eventually an offense has to score more points to give a defense a chance to sub starters and play with a little more cushion. now thats not all tebows fault. he really doesn't have great receivers. the run game is fine.

I'll agree with most of that. It does make me wonder if Denver is going to go for a top flight receiver in the draft. Then sort of run a system like GT with heavy doses of the run and then the occasional pass to a stud receiver. And they have had 1 or 2.

Being a Carolina fan, I've watched Fox for years .... That sounds like his kind of game plan.

they have to draft a receiver regardless of considering keeping tebow as the guy or not. free agency is different in football, you just can't go and sign a guy easily.

They need more than just "a" receiver. That receiving corp could be the worst in the NFL. They drop many a pass each game.

they actually don't drop that many more passes per attempt than any other teams. they aren't good but they aren't that easy to judge when you have wobbly ducks thrown to you time and time again.

Yeah they're gonna get killed by Pittsburgh. Well maybe not killed because Pittsburgh never runs up the score much but yeah.

go ahead haize and start with the excuses of tebow does not have a supporting cast and john fox sucks....well john fox did not throw all of those INT's and john fox didn't fumble the ball. You must not be "tebowing" good enough. i just want one tebow fan to step up and take the heat when they lose like they do when he "wins". carry on!

Never made excuses for him. I think they got away from the run too much but that is me. When they won I gave everyone credit and praised Tebows leadership. I still love Tebows leadership but think everyone, Tebow included, need to step up
And I think Pittsburgh is a good match up for them. They don't have a prolific offense so 17 points could win the game!

Tebow is going to have it tough come next week. The Steelers have the best WR crew in the league. IF Ben is healthy it could be a blow out. On top of that Tebow has NEVER faced a defense anywhere close to as good as the Steelers defense. I would be shocked if the game is within 2 touchdowns.

that was awful.

on both teams. tebow was embarassing and while orton "beat" his old team, he too looked like a complete turd.

Hideous game by both sides. Denver stuck with the rush, but it still didn't work. Tebow seems to have regressed. 6 for 22 for 60 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT and only 6 carries for 16 yards with a huge red zone fumble. McGahee was the only bright spot for them besides their defense.

Fox's game plan was "run" all the way. And when they did try to pass KC's defense did a good job containing him to the pocket. They shut down Tebow's running altogether. The KC secondary took the corners away and forces him to look up the middle. In other words they forced him to be a pocket QB..... He's not. I also noticed that KC's secondary did not back off and go to "prevent mode" in the last 5 minuets, the way others have. Smart.

Fox will have to counter that strategy in the payoffs. Get him out of the pocket one way or another. That's when he does his damage, running and throwing.

I also watched the Saints, Panthers ..... Drew is unreal! So are his "9" receivers .... :lol:
IM picking the Saints to go all the way.

Fox is an idiot coach honestly. When he lets Tebow be Tebow, he wins. When Fox tries to take control, they lose.

haha, Tebow completed 6 passes for 22 attempts and a whopping 60 yards. He ran for another jaw dropping 16 yards!!! People are still defending this guy... :roll:

Unless he, does the smart thing, and converts to a TE or FB, his NFL career won't last longer than 5 years...

Maybe Liberty will be his first coaching job after his NFL career ends :wink: ... No, on second thought he'll probably go into missions. A higher calling. I'm sure he will be a Champion for Christ where ever he goes. :!:

There were plenty of dropped passes. But also Tebow threw a ton of wounded ducks.

I actually think he could do quite well as a TE or FB but he'll never be a good QB.
