CHIEFS BEAT BRONCOS 7-3: Tim Tebow’s fourth-down pass was intercepted sealing the Chiefs victory..
Guys… save it for a week… TD CHARGERS
thong, thong, thong
Congrats to Orton, but I’ll still take Tebow. But he sure needs some work.
Orton wasn’t much better. Tebow just has to get rid of it quicker rather than being scared to throw picks.
He retracted the statement. who cares what charger scores… it’s a td for us.
1-4 to AFC West Champs says alot… I still support Tebow…
orton handed off once and beat us
Biggest game of the year he leafs the team to 3 points at home
true turtle!! better then last year
lucky the afc west is so down this year
need that clock to run!!!
Tebow is simply NOT an NFL quality QB at this time.
None of this was Tim’s fault. It was entirely McCoy, Fox, and our lack of receivers that can catch a football. Worst called game I’ve ever seen.
Yep… and led us to a division championship… Weird… I’ll take it… ugly but I’ll take it…
Yeah, but I will still take him over Orton. Not saying that I’d take him over a lot of other qb’s, but definately over Orton. Orton is not a winner.
yah kinda wish tebow had a cam newton type year where it didnt matter the record or pics, just to learn the game..this win stretch made tebow tense i think
Cody Orton is not a winner and just beat Tebow
Orton is a combination of vinegar and water.
Nobody said he was Montana… and we haven’t been in the playoffs since 2005…
No sugar coating… we are not a good team…but hey.. playoffs are playoffs
TERRIBLE offensive performance. I can’t make an educated comment right now. Disgusting.
the broncos are not winners either…
This team is not playoff ready…. I’m scared to watch us play.
AFC West champs
picked!!!!!
but int on palmer with 5:00 to go!!
turnover
Playoffs are not guarenteed. STOP IT.
pick when we play
DENVER BRONCOS 2011 AFC WEST DIVISION CHAMPIONS…
Int Raiders
MUCH MUCH better Defense this year though.
Ok.. probably now.. WOOO
no matter what..tebow gets a pass!! he did do alot to turn the team aroud..so did elway and fox and the defense!!
AFC WEST CHUMPS! I mean Champs.
Playoffs Baby!!!! Better than recent memory
LOL@the Raiders
Tebow got no offseason this year either. Stupid lockout.
CHAMPS ARE CHAMPS… and ORTON is Still a CHUMP
either way next week will be a nice learning exp..i just hope miller can get his cast off
We win we did it we are Champs of the west.
orton can sleep at night but he still is on a loosing team in the morning.
Millers cast won’t come off until this season is over
Somebody had to win it…
nothing is official yet guys crazier thinks have happened…
Nothing to lose next week. just like this whole year and we played like it except today. I don’t understand.
It’s time for our O to change. The option crap isn’t cutting it anymore. One of the best games for the O was when we ran a typical nfl offense against vikings the second half. don’t know why we went away from that.
wouldnt it be great if tebow magic kicks back in during the playoffs…game time!!
Make Tebow throw we lose….he had an offseason last year…he played last year. If he remains qb we are behind the eight ball for a decade
now that is offence
now its looking better haha im very superstitious
