Chiefs Beat Broncos 7-3

January 1st, 2012 - 5:20pm by Stuart Zaas

Chiefs cornerback Brandon Carr intercepted Tim Tebow’s desperation heave on fourth down to seal the 7-3 victory for Kansas City.

Kyle Orton took a knee to run out the final seconds of the game. Denver’s record drops to 8-8 on the season after the loss.

The Broncos turned in a strong rushing performance, finishing with 216 rushing yards for the game, but weren’t able to move the ball through the air as time wound down.

Willis McGahee paced the team with 145 rushing yards, the fourth-highest total of his career and second highest of the season.

    Our O line and RBs did their part

    There’s no doubt that we have a major problem with the passing game. But gloom and domers, give it a rest. The Broncos are in the playoffs. There’s like 49 guys on that team who have never gone to a play off game.

    Enjoy it. And let’s see what next week brings. Ride it out. The KC game is over. Its time to focus on Pittsburgh.

    Kind of scary that our Coaching staff are so conservative to the point that we actually lose… Tebow will always be a winner but he needs to grow some and take the bull by the horns at some point…!!! Like the commentator said” It’s hard to believe that a team that throws all week long in practice doesn’t throw half as much as they should in the game…”!!!

    I am glad we’re in the playoffs!!! Here’s to beating the Steelers next week!!!

    Well – if Fox is the worst coach in the league (which he might be) Tebow is the worst QB in the league (well, right now maybe Gabbert is worse, but at least they won today) … Tebow just looked lost today … he had no comprehension of what was going on … you people who still tout his abilities need to get a new perspective … maybe a summer and a training camp will help … I don’t say get rid of him – I say develop him at a new position … you think the “brain” trust is going to prolong this experiment??? … I will say this – they’d better TRY to open it up next week … what do they have to lose??? …. just the game, which they definitely will lose if they run the schemes they did today … they get well over 200 yds running and don’t come close to scoring … they had some very lucky breaks to win all those comeback games … you can’t take that away from them, or from Tebow, but you certainly can’t make a living winning that way .. Elway knows that … I wonder who Elway was mosed pissed at today?? … he sure wasn’t happy … you have to give McGahee so much credit … what a warrior … but Champ?? … Bowe put a lesson him – the skills are aging fast … he’s still good – but as the super corner, he has to be GREAT … a lost may be that he’s trying to “cover” cor the other DBs – that would be just like him … what a wonderful man, and wonderful player, too … our D reallyt came to play, but if Bowe doesn’t go down, I think it would have been over at halftime … anyway – we get to agonize for one more week … but really – how many of you are at all confident in Tebow’s ability to do anything??? … let’s say they do try to open it up – do you think it will make a bit of difference????

    So is our game on saturday or sunday?

    Ok yea he was only 6 of 22 but when we did pass it was 2 receiver routes and our receivers we not getting a whole lot of separation save for a couple of plays. They preach to Tebow to throw the ball away unless it is a perfectly wide open scenario, and not to force it so 5-8 of those passes were thrown away. They need to send more receivers down field. They could send the two hideouts down field and an out route for the tight end and slant for the slot or variations to where you have receivers on different levels so they have options.

    Did u guy see kuper leg . That was sick

    This movie is not over, but we are not the Rams. This title of the movie is not Heaven Can Wait. This is on Tebow not McCoy. Fox is saying Tim hasn’t loss his swag, but it is evident he has. They are tryna protect him from the abyss of Bustdem. If they run a run play during practice this week. Someone on the coaching staff needs to be fined. The only real problem holding us back is Pass. See the Colts, Pats, GB, NO. If we had more of a passing game then it would hide the other weaknesses. Kuper broke his ankle so I say put Clark in at RG. Tebow needs to throw all week long in nothing but passing plays in practice. Either what they want him to do is wrong or hard to understand. So with that I have come to the conclusion that Tebow is not the guy the staff or management really truly wants. Why wait till next yr when we never been in the playoffs since 2005? The playoffs were on the line and if the so called future is n, and ow. THEN HELP TEBOW NOW!!! this season was still in reach. All the late , season disasters was have had from 06-09. Hey we gonna wait till next yr and get a fresh start on gettin Tim ready. What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were saying that is Tim throw for 200. That a company would make a donation to his foundation. 200????? Sponsors don’t believe in him or the playcalling anymore. lol People saying put in Quinn??? People forget he got Romeo fired. Romeo knows him more than Quinn knows his self. Think it was ugly today. I don’t even wanna think about that one. What’s next then put in Weber?? Draft who at QB?? This is not Madden. RG# will not be there. Heck if the Broncos draft a QB in the first 2 rounds. Someone needs to be fired. The best CB on the field for us was Goody today. Von can’t play with a cast. We need TE, SS, FS, CB, and RB. that’s before we even think about drafting a QB.

    I really hope tebow get better in off season because today was really bad

    I don’t think anyone can school Champ. Remember the final score. Seven points is not a schooling.

    NO CONTEST!

    This will sound like I’m a Tebow-first fan, but I don’t care.

    I think the playcalling flat out sucked. Someone, somewhere said that it seemed like Tebow has lost his fire, and I agree. Who wouldn’t with that pathetic playcalling? I know he needs work, but I still believe he can pass, given the right circumstances; screen passes, etc.

    I’m not sure I don’t believe in the conspiracy theory after all. I don’t think EFX wants him to be successful. He’s not the QB they want. Those six wins, I’m sure, were a shock to EFX; but they’ve dumbed it down so much now, I don’t think TT has a chance.

    ‘Sorry. You can come at me if you want, but that’s how I feel. And I’m pissed!

    You are probably correct but I am a fan of Tim, kyle had us in the crapper and we just won our first West chmpn since 05 , after a 3 game skid and still get in on This win streak sparked by a kid named Tim Tebow, noooooowaaaaaaaymaaaan! strange things happen every day and as the fans in Cincy, and Denver GO BRONCOS DEFY LOGIC, WIN IT ALL!

  19. mandi48 says:

    game plans , every one is so bad, that I can not watch anymore, the same all, same all. Blaming Tebow, who play His first 9 as proffesional QB is a joke. Coaches making plans not Tebow, and giving Him full responsibilities is irresponsible move by coaching stuff. Game plane , and using only runners is stupid. Offensive has 11 guys not only QB and runners. I blame coaches for making a such decision!!! I just do not understand the mentality of Broncos coaches. First they were telling US that Tebow is not ready, then they give him all. Guys are not blocking, can not catch ball, it is like they just do not understand each other, one big mess. Blaming Tebow will be for me as washing hands from all this mass. Keep media of Tebow, this is crazy. What about the rest of the team, why no one is talking about other guys, but only about Tebow. Circus not football team!!! Get real!!!
