CHIEFS BEAT BRONCOS 7-3: Tim Tebow’s fourth-down pass was intercepted sealing the Chiefs victory..
ouch oww ouch.
Oakland did score. they down 6. cough.
Hard to stay positive sometimes..
But we still have a shot…
OC is the weak link
fox is probably paying more attention to the scoreboard then the game
BAD TEAM
Not looking good. Oakland coming back and Denver can’t do anything on offense
31-25 chargers!
not in play offs yet ?
Played it too safe. We lacked aggression, and we lacked passion. We deserve to lose if we are afraid to try and win.
Why did we just call a timeout… We would have saved more time using it after the 2-minute warning.
not just the OC… offense hasn’t executed today
Win or lose, we’re in the playoffs. Punt or go for it and miss, KC gets the ball back and it’s up to our D. Why do you punt? GROW SOME BALLS JOHN FOX! LOSER!
I’m scared guys. Hold me.
Sometimes its better to be lucky than good.
Game Management.
Actually, the raiders are wihin striking range, and they have the ball. The raiders may still win.
Yea, we in a heap of trouble.
The fact is, our play calling evolved no where near the way I thought it would.
raiders have plenty of time!! its going to be a bad new year!
tebow cant find open recievers but they are there he waits to long to throw
sd has the ball now oak jus scored
Raiders within 5 with plenty of time.
Raiders are about to KO… the Chargers will have the ball…
unreal
Everyone’s going to think I’m a Tebow first fan; I don’t care. I think the playcalling plain sucks!!!
Sd is getting the ball
That is, our play calling has not evolved. We are still running the exact same 4 or 5 predictable plays that we were running when our win streak started.
the Chargers missed a FG last drive… Denver has to make a play!!!
Maybe it’s better this way. Pittsburgh would probably destroy us anyways guys.
But, the thing the really scares me is that Tebow has seriously regressed in the last two games.
foxball gotta go
Well… the D did the Job again… TEBOW… we need you!
We get the ball back with about 40 seconds. Maybe we can do something with it.
COME ON TEBOW. WE NEED YOU NOW.
Positive thoughts… Royal could help!!!
safety oak you gotta be kidding me
No we need to win the west.
Alex — I think Tebow’s regressed because he’s frustrated with the playcalling.
Let’s GO TEBOW!!!
whew they reversed the safety call guys
84 yards in under a min!! no chance! no timeouts!! no chance!! lets go chargers!! 9:00 min to go!! talk to ya next year!
You must not have watched many Bronco games this year.
why did royal stop sprinting?
LOST SEASON>
haha enough! its game time!
rivers is great
tough loss!! tebow time is over…john has seen enough!!
WAKE UP!!!!!
we needed that
