Hmm.. one less Patriot in the backfield every lay?
not the super question…the mccoy question.
14 negative plays
is that a record?
I gave props for TT’s performance last week, but I questioned if he can do it consistantly….I think I have my answer……..still not sold one bit
mccoy be there next year
THW… Kuper would have made a ton of difference, but so would have Dawkins… This team needs to get better/deeper… I’m proud of this team…
Good thing you don’t make personel decisions Kod…
not to be all pro tebow, put do you blame 14 negative plays on tebow? no
we made it to the playoffs from 1-4
Fact is the better team won… Talent does matter most of the time…
that’s right gobroncos11
no the line can’t block from what I see
This team did GREAT!!!
1-4 to division Champs… thanks to TEBOW and friends… I love where this team is going…
We are the least talented team in the postseason.
He had his number facing him again and TT made the pass…
nice pass
Need more talent and depth to compete.
he receivers just need to square up
Can’t wait to see how we fare after a good off season train up. We’re gonna be dangerous next year!
Lance Ball popped number 51 on that play!
We won a playoff game for the first time in 6 years… How can we be disappointed… tonight SUCKED… but it happens when you play Great teams with GREAT coaches and Quarterbacks… Tebow hasn’t given up yet…
I just call it like I see it….and I saw nothing positive on both sides of the ball tonight,,,,,,just sad
you’re right, Turtle.
yup redifine football. The tebow way. WOOHOO. Go Broncos going to follow their every move doing offseason. Cant wait
I agree with you, Joy. I think we’ll be very good next year…led by Tebow.
That’s right!
On behalf of the denver broncos, ill like to apologize for this pathetic display. Said it all year, we are not the most talented, just the most resilient. Alas resilience couldn’t save us. Our oline got crushed and not by pitts but by pats
boy hes frustraded
Only saw the first half and the 4th quarter. At leqst we know TnT will be feared for yrs. Only good thing we can take out. Teams got no talented depth
Best season in A LONG TIME!!! Bad game….good season!
See you at the Draft!
no protection
hi TRB… good to see you… sorry it is such a bad occasion in Bronco Country
Tebow has no blocking, and his receivers arent getting open. Great play calling by Belichick, no good play calling for us offensively
not 1 screen pass
Blaming this on tt would be short sighted. The man hs been running for his life all game and its not a questions of slow reds…its the defense owning this offense
I say have a orange and blue day back in denver for the great job this team has done. Go broncos
So we run the ball the entire game, even though it makes no sense, then pass 3 times on the 2. Genius McCoy, genius.
That’s a great idea Bronco11!
Especially the oline. I ws rllying people to vote for our oline … not tonight
Our team is going to need us after this, We support them
exactly. That’s what fans are for.
It’s everything. In Tebow’s defense the play calling does truly blow at times and he’s got no consistent weapons. The offense almost always looks herky jerky. Nothing smooth about it at all.
I woulda been proud if we lost by 10 points max but this was not forseen. Bailey deserves better, I just wished we could give it to him
Play calling has sucked most of the year.
Besides Dawkins, we lost 2 other safeties tonight in Carter and Bruton. Wow, were playing without our top 3 starting safeties with Brady in
First time i have seen tebow upset. No protection
Ell at least now we know we will get the 25th pick. Im proud of this yr, very proud, but saddened by this game
The one plus is that Tebow didn’t throw a bunch of picks.
Embarrassing night but you gotta love how exciting it got since week 6. Can’t wait till training camp!
Riddle me this, KK…why does Tebow have to be perfect when no one else is?
