After Week 16, the AFC West title chase has been narrowed down to just Denver and the Oakland Raiders. San Diego and Kansas City were both eliminated from contention with their losses at Detroit and vs. Oakland, respectively.
The Broncos can clinch the AFC West crown with either a win versus Kansas City or an Oakland loss versus San Deigo. Denver would also clinch if it ties against Kansas City and the Raiders lose or tie against the Chargers.
Denver and Oakland are currently tied atop the division with 8-7 records, but Denver owns the relevant tiebreakers, meaning that the Raiders need to finish with a better record than the Broncos to win the division.

It`s been one sided for a long while now. I`ve said it all year, those refs are bias and out for orange blood. I might sound overkill over the matter but thats my take on it. The rafs want CERTAIN teams to lose, I don`t care what others might say. It is what it is, their cheats.
Ya I’ve noticed been outta touch and out to lunch alot if I don’t praise tebow. I’m also crazy and diluted and clueless and blah blah blah. But I tell you what, if your fix to our current tebow situation is “Let him run and get hit, it inspires him” and then he’ll be a pocket passer next year (because of the current state of the o line if I read that correctly), and that’s the majority’s way of thinking, then I am definitely out to lunch and crazy. Y’all should probably give the staff a call and give them a big load of help figuring out that “uniqueness that is Tim Tebow” before it gets any worse! Oh and I love the ‘if tebow has greater opportunity for influence else where’. I can hear it now when he is benched and/or traded how tebow ites weren’t wrong, he just had a greater opportunity for influence away from football. I tell ya what tho i hope we ain’t seen nuthin yet cuz alot more needs to come on & show up!! Btw good point on the San Diego gm. Got me there. Barely….
We will be fine. Just can’t blow with the wind. Since my last post I see alot of heated posts hve been put…good stuff. I have said it many times, we would be crazy trying to decide tebows fate after everygame. Man has only started like 13 games. He wil be fine as a bronco or on another team. While he is not defined byt football, he is like the most intense and hyped guy on the field. But when he is off it … he is off it.
So I believe we make the playoffs. And win a game. Many laughed at the seahawks making the playoffs 7-9 but they owned the saints.
This game against the chiefs IS a playoff game because just like tne playoffs we re as good as done for the rest of the yr if we lose to the chiefs.
Broncos – 23
Chiefs – 16

Ya the refs are graded through the season. The crews with the bighest grades get to officiate playoff games and even the super bowl. That call against Rosario was a very bad call and I have noticed quite a few bad calls goin our way. It’s aggravating. I would like to know when vons cast is comin off too because he doesn’t seem the same. May just be a mind thing with him but either way I hope the down performances go away with the cast.
Ya strand being a tebow disciple isn’t a bad thing, heck he’s a bronco, go crazy with it! I have no problem with any of it and I enjoy debating it, but as much as you think he’s the answer, I do not. And we’ll see in the end won’t we! It takes alot to offend me lemme tell ya, but daddy got close praising those specific bloggers then intentionally singling me out as “out to lunch” (dumb, if you will). Other than that c’mon with it guys I learn alot from this blog and love every minute of it!
No matter what happens next week Tim Tebow will be a Denver Bronco for a long time and that’s a guarantee..
Issuing guarantees in the world of the NFL is a sure way to jinx things, many have done it here before only to be ridiculed later on, LOL.
jsizzla, if he blows the playoffs this year and sucks next, he BETTER not be a Bronco beyond that…. AND I LIKE HIM!!!
I knew it was going to be a long game when I seen all dat laundry on the field, now I know a play is a play and not to cry, but that would be first down on that third and long to Decker was clearly PI(no call for us) and the big run by Eddie called back on a block in the back that the replay said didn’t happen, that to the two heels out of bounds wasn’t in fact two heels out of bounds on that buff. sideline scamper, then Gloom and Doom can’t put any pressure on as they were being held on almost every single down! IF IT WEREN’T FOR ZEBRAS WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN BOTH OF THESE GAMES PERIOD. SO AS I WAS SAYING SINCE WEEK TWO 9-7 WINS THE WEST!!!GO BRONCOS OUT COOK THE CHEFS!!! AND FOR GOODNESS SAKES BURY ORTON!!
there is no way tebow does not got this he did this on purpose because he wants to prove to everyone that he deserved to be the starter over orton. tebow will have the game of his life this sunday just you watch! GB² = God Bless and Go Broncos!
Too bad all Denver Bronco fans don’t have the faith that Tim Tebow does about winning. If the score is pretty close, he believes up until the last second on the clock that they’re gonna win. And that’s what us as fans need to do. Win just one game, just one game. And cheer for San Diego this weekend.
go broncos
run the ball when it is 3rd and 1 let tebow go what the heckis with handing it off or pitching it or am I the only one that see’s it, new rule coachs can use there challenge on penalty’s too also new subject andre over paid goodman would you please cover someone two weeks in a row you let a reciever run open for a score, defense we aint playin tebow quit pinching down maintain your lanes and tackle someone
