oops. Congratulate Had to correct my typing
NICE!! Man I am so proud of the team effort in this game!
Never give up. And they didn’t!
It was a team effort!
I Solute our D!!
I sure didn`t win the contest. I said we`d lose. Ha!
And K.C. played awful today.
Hey yall, guess what?! TIM TEBOW is 2-1 this year as our starter.
what a great day i cant remember the last time we finished a game by kneeling it down.
It`ll be cool to hear from BFE, Bay and even Sndvl on the win. Cool topic tomorrow!! Or maybe tonight, but will be fun to talk about. You can`t complain about a win. LOL
we ran the ball right down the raiders throats today tebow and mcgahee were awsome runnin the rock. only one game back in the division now.
What a trip, bazarre.
We looked great out there. Awesome team effort!!! 5 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, and 1 field goal against our biggest rival…I’d call that a good day. And does Tebow not look AWESOME with a busted lip!? Haha, he played great today too(:
tebow now has 6 tds 1 int and has lots of rushing yards not sure the number on that one. but most important we have one 2 outa 3 games with him and beat the hell out of the raiders today. so keep believing in the kid he hasnt done that bad.
How many QB pressure’s did Von Miller have? He is half Man half Amazing really!!!
von miller was a studd today and has been amazing all year he is the real deal. the defense as a whole did real good today forcing turnovers and getting to the qb frequently.
it was nice to see some of our big name players who have struggled do good today like elvis having his first sack of the year and eddie royal having a good day. oh and of course tebow looking more comfortable every game so far.
i love seeing champ get interceptions =) but 2 that just makes me so much happier!!
WTG guys, cant remember the last time the whole team contributed to a win, (probably Chargers game 2 years ago on road when Royal had returns) the defense played really well considering, and congrats 15 and Mccoy on believing in the game plan. I really thought they could run the ball and have a little balance which they showed as the game wore on.
respect for Raiders who gave 15 props after game after trying to rip his head off for 3 and half hours
Tebow- No interceptions- Huge. Defense and special teams came up big! P.S. haters- GET OFF TIM TEBOWS BACK! Leave that dude alone and let him play, he will perservere.
tebow is definantly going to make it a real tuff choice on what to do in this next years draft if he continues to play well. i hope he does great so we can keep him at qb and draft on the defense.
1 wonder what are record would be like if tebow started from week 1 i think we coulda been at least 5-3 and been winning our division. we lost to the raiders week 1 by a field goal and orton had that phantom fumble. and against tennasee we went for it on 4th and gaol and just came up short i feel we woulda won those two games if tebow had his shot before orton screwed things up. the sandiego game was close as well another game orton lost for us with his lame duck throws.
Well, if it isn’t Andrew Luck I personally don’t think Landry Jones or Matt Barkley can hold Tebow’s jock strap so I say we draft defense all the way and maybe a running back.
todays rushing perfomance has put us at 5th in the nfl pretty good from a year ago.
wish we started tebow from week 1
did everyone celebrate and get wasted and pass out this blog is boring as hell thought with a win this thing would be more exciting.
half the posts on here are myself i feel like missed something and the jokes on me. lol
if the broncos can find a way to play like they did in the 2nd half vs the raiders for a full 60min game on a weekly basis they denver will be a top team in the league alot sooner then people think.
Don’t bag on Orton. He just doesn’t have the heart that Tebow has.
Remember Tebow was Orton’s under study. The difference between Tebow and Orton is not just the heart and faith, but that Tebow does not let anyone’s expectations run him around. He ignores the media, the press, and even the negative things his team mates say. He is always possitive, because he keeps the negative influences away from his possitive focus. I love Tebow as a brother and a role model not just for me, but for others. Check out his books he wrote. He is a great guy on and off the field. He has a heart for God, family, fans, and strangers all alike, because of his relationship with Jesus.
Go Tebow Go!! Go Broncos!! May God keep you at your best!!
