Im just glad the raiders win streak is over … this team still has alot to work on TEBOW INCLUDED … but they pulled it off
Slight Improvement?!? he player real good… after getting smashed all first half
? arianna
*played
TRB When Royal returned that one I looked at my wifey and said I bet TRB is bouncing off the walls right now, she just looked at me wierd lol
he gained confidence i think!!watch out tho KC is a tought place to ball!! lucky he ran that td in last year there
Few QB’s could have taken that kind of punishment and still come back and won decisively like Tim did.
COMOOOOON BRONCOS
Litle Tim got another WIN
That was worth staying up late for
Lotta raider player respect after the game was over.
perfectly said barrel.. a game elway him self could be proud of..
excellent team win. tt showed improvement, but, there are still things that need work. looks like things are beginning to come together thou for the offense. the defense needs some work. the penalties were senseless.
Tiny Tim – God bless us every one!
improvement all round.Mcgahee take a bow awesome my friend
lol
SIS…that is hilarious!
Rivers picked off again! Game over!
Wow London — what time is it where you are??
WOOT Rivers pick to end the game lol
I think it’s 12:30am in London???
yowie — THAT’s a fan!
If we can win against chiefs … we are in this … i dont think we can win the west with this team .. but its funny how tides turn lol
Yep, 12.30am here – I’m up at 6am in the morning – worth it tonight!
Mcgahee deserves the game ball. playing like he did with surgery on his hand less than 2 weeks ago. just glad it wasn’t his finger or he would be out for 6 weeks. anyone notice he played with just a padded glove and not a cast on that hand.
Sis -it has gone half an hour past midnight in London. Work beckons in about 7hours. I will sleep well tonight dreaming of a silent coliseum…
Tebow saying the more we win the more we dnt draft a QB
trb, we will only be 1 game out if sd looses to gb.
Hello UK Broncos I am in Belfast Mtv over here. No interest just watching my favourite team
We’re nuts aren’t we? Well we usually are – tonight it is worth it!
I cannot believe we rushed so well. Tebow has opened them lanes. If he begins to pass better he is gonna be undefendable. Hats of to fox McGahee great signing. Real pro with heart.
UKBroncos – you are right tonigh was worth it.
I do hope bay got to go and watch this game. If he did, he enjoyed it in all his pain.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
UK, London and Belfast all believe…
it`s a miracle!
I think I am on this blog until 2. Just full of adrenalin
For all those who doubt the Broncos, I knew we can come back and have pride. Orange Crush is back, and Tebomania will roll on.
Tebow Time!!
UK love that comment yes we do!!
McGahee is tough. didn;t get much first half but kept pounding hard and eventually started running over defenders
A solute to all of the doubters.
Next: K.C.
greeat win
Mile Hi Salute
1 back from first place and we get KC
McGahee = Jonah Lomu style running back
(will make sense to Rugby followers)
It`s bazarre to be one game behind. It feels weird.
Love the rugby mate and I know what you r saying.
Whats up strand! Finally we get after them Haters huh?
Royalty my friend, Rock On dude. We Won!!
Players earned this win and I congradulate all of them and our line who helped protect Tebow too. Always a salute for the defense.
