Patriots Vs. Broncos

[codizzle]

Love tebow and how he plays the game.. Would love to see the broncos keep it going this week.
To do that the defense would have to play lights out

All I can say is if the Pats lose this game to the Broncos I will believe that a higher power is at work.
[list=1]
[*]- The way the Bears were dismantled at the seams yesterday was beyond head scratching. Look at the facts.Barber runs out of bounds. Barber is a north and south runner, how many times does he even attempt to run outside the box? Why this time?
[*]- Bears defense goes into a deep prevent. Why? Their defense has stopped the Broncos all day long, why switch your defense? It makes Tebow look more competent in the 4th quarter.
[*]- Barber fumbled. Why? Because he was in FG range.
[/list]
So if the Broncos win this game. I might not become a believer in Tim Tebow. But I will become a believer in a higher power.

Post of the year! Good stuff.

Tebow's gotta take down Tom Terrific and the Pats!

[AsianRice]

Did you guys see Brady's QB coach I guess and him were verbally fight and cursing at each other when Brade threw an INT in the endzone?

If Brady lost this week, Brady and his coach will have a hair fighting and spitting going on.........

According to NFL Radio the Pats coaching staff will be looking hard at what Tebow and the offense is doing late in the game and try to stop them.

Gee, so work on stopping them in the 4th but not worry about the 1st 3 Quarters? I think the Patriots can win this if they can go out and score as many points as possible that doesn't allow Tebow to work in the 4th Quarter. Though, watching the Patriots/Redskins game on NFL Replay, if Rex Grossman can put up 27 points and almost drive down the field to win the game on that defense, I'm sure the Broncos can put up points early to keep up with Brady.

That is pretty much the opinion of many...get a big lead so Tebow can't pull of his late magic.

Well I'll tell you this much, if for some odd reason every potential Brady TD becomes an incomplete pass or interception, then I may really question a higher power being at work.

[ForrizleJeff]

theres no way broncos can win against the patriots , patriots stack to many points . afc division championship patriots vs. ravens . Ravens defense will step up even more this week and win for 11 -3 record . from NJ ! #ravens <3

I am already convinced of a higher power at work.

Can they tie so they both go down the standings?

[JO_75]

Well one thing I know about this game, this will be the one game the Higher Power doesn't have to turn a Defense invisible for Tebow to make the comeback, the Patriots Defense is already bad enough! The only thing it has to do is make every Brady TD magically turn into Interceptions and keep the Broncos in it for Tebow to pull off his magic late in the fourth.

[ravensdfan]

Can't really lose with this game.

Broncos lose and it means the end of Tebow Magic.

Patriots lose and it's pressure off the Ravens from at least one front. Plus, the Patriots getting Tebowed will just, you know, be hysterical.

Gotta love those win/win situations.

You should ask Donovan McNabb about that.

Seriously though, my dream scenario would be a dominating performance by the Denver defense sacking Tom Brady all day and returning a couple Ints for TDs and a Broncos win. Then we get to see the Pats lose and the real reason why Denver has been winning...their defense.

[Azmo]

Defense has definitely kept the games tight... But it has been Tebow and his receivers that seem to wake up in the fourth qtr and remember how to catch and move the ball...

Even tho the Pats defense sucks against the pass, Denver cannot get into a shoot-out with them... I don't think they can win that way... They gotta play their new 'style' of offense, keep Brady-Lady off the field...

Perfect storm, Ravens win, Cam Newton torches the Texans, Indy gets their first win, NE get's Tebowed and Squeelers drop one in SF....

I can dream... lol...

That would be the perfect day wouldn't it? It would make it worth having to work today even.

Hmmm, well it's possible

And I don't want to come across as claseless and I realy respect what Wade Philips has done but he won't be calling the plays this weekend while on medical leave so maybe the Texans D will drop off

As for Indy, well it's a division game so anything could happen

I have to say that I'm feeling some ambivalence towards this matchup. On the one hand, a Patriots loss gives us a boost in the fight for the top two seeds and a first round bye, not to mention home field advantage in the playoffs. If the playoffs go through The Bank the Ravens become an even tougher out come the postseason.

On the other hand, [u][b]I dislike the hype surrounding Tim Tebow. His team has won games, but he's getting a lot of credit for it that should be going to his defense and his runningbacks[/b][/u]. Not to say he hasn't done enough for his team, because that would be obviously wrong. But he's not the player people make him out to be. I especially resent that his sloppy numbers but winning record earn him a pass as a winner, but Joe Flacco, who has good numbers and has probably forgotten how to lose by this point because he hasn't really needed to know it, is ripped on by a lot of the media.

Is it wrong for me to cheer for the Patriots knowing that their win would hurt my team? Yes. But considering the fact that I have long harbored positive feelings towards New England, from the days prior to the arrival of the Ravens in Baltimore when they were a team I and my father would root for when we got the chance, and that I really want to see Tebow lose badly to someone, I have to say I am thinking about doing it anway.

So who are you guys pulling for in this one?

Tebow himself TAKES NO CREDIT for the wins the broncos receive. he ALWAYS gives props to his team. the "hype" surrounding him ISN'T coming from him directly! it's media spin and hype. the media pubs you up one minute and tears you down the next. Tebow is just being Tebow. he's always been like that...nothing new! the media hype concerning him is ridiculous but he is handling well.

Broncos 100%...weird that folks would want any other outcome. [u][b]Taking emotions out of it and looking at it from strictly the Ravens perspective, its a no brainer![/b][/u]

Completely agree.. Love tebow.. He plays the way everyone was taught to play as a kid.. He leaves everything on the field.. Love watching him play

[Crabcakes&Football]

Texans down, now let's go Broncos!

[cursona pirate]

Today is a day of upsets... Can the Boncos win? Dun Dun DUN???????/////

[ravens__]

You know what to do.. Keep it close until the 4th Q and then let the magic begin.

[cursona pirate]

Tebow Score....!!!!....

[ravens__]

Unbelievable.. lol

7-0 DEN on a TD run by Tebow

EDIT: Scratch that. Was that a fake or? 6-0 on the missed XP

[Crabcakes&Football]

Pats defense is no match lol.

[JO_75]

Wow... Patriots missed a ton of tackles and allowed Tebow to rush in for the Touchdown! They missed the Extra Point... and how stupid were the players on the Patriots who took the ball and ran it back like they were going to score. BB needs to teach those players that you can't return blocked Extra points for a TD.

[hawkprey]

Defense wins championships. Patriots have none.

Oh so it was a block.. I only saw the end result of the Pats running down the field and thought they intercepted it or something on a fake
